The Most Ridiculous Release Concept You’ll Ever See

I literally just posted a while back on how leverage and gravity provide the elements for the release of the club at the swing bottom, only to run into this clip yesterday whilst scrolling through YouTube.

I have no idea what this concept is trying to say or do, because absolutely no one in golf, even the worst of the Modern Golf Swing practitioners, does this – I suspect it’s about keeping the click count going when having run out of things to say, but people watch these things, which is harmful.

How Fast Does The Swing Occur?

I have taken a real-speed driver swing of mine back in 2015 when I was swinging regularly and in much better shape than I am currently, to illustrate something with regards to piece-work swinging.

You’ll notice that, when you watch Modern Golf Swing instruction, you will get someone spending five minutes on describing in minute detail all of the various moves you must make for the down swing from the transition to the post-impact finish.

Ten Years On – My Best Day With The Driver

I have so many thousands of swing clips that I’ve compiled over the years between 2007-2022 that it is sometimes surprising to look back on the various models I’ve worked on.

It is beyond doubt to me, however, that my favorite ever driver swings to watch face-on are from May 15, 2015 – I hardly ever swung exactly the same way from day to day, as I was conducting swing research, but that day stands out to me as the day I nailed it.

MCS Gold – Archive Swings Exactly How I Would Swing Today

I’ve been searching through my fairly large swing archive from between 2015-2022 and have found some archived swings from 2022 that are pretty much how I would be telling people to swing with the MCS Golf Swing model.

The years of 2023-25 consisted mostly of my investigating just about every variation of the swing with regards to grip, stance and mechanics, but as I have said, I basically had the MCS swing model figured out by 2015 and, aside from my personal journey to swing like this model, there has been very little change in said model over the years.

New Concepts In The Upcoming MCS Video

My only disappointment with the upcoming video will be that I couldn’t actually get out there this season to make new video clips, due to my left shoulder issues that are still plaguing me after four months.

Barring that, I am excited about this project because, although my swing model was essentially created between 2015-17 (notice I haven’t even made a swing video since 2018), the years since have allowed me to refine and conceptualize the model, so there really is no great need for new swing clips.

Why No One Can Swing Like Ben Hogan

There is no one out there, no matter what they tell you, who swings like Ben Hogan.

There is an entire cottage industry built around “swing like Ben Hogan,” and every one of the claims is either an outright fraud or a complete misunderstanding of how the man swung.

The MCS Swing Model Uses Hogan’s “Perfect Pivot” (Rear View)

You’ve seen lots of face-on clips of the golf swing, but not as many rear views, I would wager.

I talk a good bit about Ben Hogan’s “Perfect Pivot” action, and here is how you can identify it when you view a golf swing from the rear angle.

There are 3 things that one requires to have a similar action.

Hogan’s Pivot – Modern Golf Swing Errors & Why You Shouldn’t Swing Like Hogan

I’ve said many times that Ben Hogan had the “Perfect Pivot” action when it comes to the actual pivot mechanics, but that one shouldn’t try to copy his actual swing.

Here is why – the way Hogan swung is a way he found able to repeat, but he also had to hit balls every day to maintain his precision.

Modern Golf Swingers – It’s Not That Fracking Hard…

It is absolutely unbelievable to me what I was seeing on YouTube before I took that week off blogging just to keep my sanity, and I’ve wondered before if we’re all just living in a really stupid simulation.

“Let’s just take all thought, reason and intelligence out of the golf swing world and see what happens…”

IF I WERE To Swing With A Left-Biased Pivot…

There is something to be said about having a background in diverse athletic pursuits – I played everything from footy (soccer) to baseball to hockey to basketball to competing in track & field, all between the ages of 7 to 23 before swinging a golf club for the first time at age 25.

During that time, I obviously acquired something of an instinct for self-preservation, shall we say, or avoiding injury through proper technique and the drilling of such.
