Return Of The “Leading Foot Stomp” – Classic Golf Swing

Leave a reply

If my Late Hogan or Transition Pivot and Post-Modern Swing people will bear with me for a few weeks, I am going to be focusing my posting primarily on the topic of the upcoming video on the first of the three pivot models in MCS – that is the Classic Golf Swing model.

I went back to look at my posting history from before the Frozen Shoulder injury, going past the point where I was branching off from the Classic Golf Swing model in search of the Dunaway-esqe Shift & Post action, and I found a nice post from December ’23.

It illustrates what I had figured out with regards to refining the Classic Golf Swing before I shifted gears to another model, and the principles are as relevant now as then.

There Are Classic Golf Swings… And There Are Classic Golf Swings

1 Reply

As the title states, there are Classic Golf Swings and there are Classic Golf Swings, when you are talking about models and technical acuity.

As you all know, I only ever really talk about swing mechanics here on the blog, with occasional side topics, but mostly swing mechanics.

Coming Video – “Introduction To MCS – The Classic Golf Swing

Leave a reply

I am beginning work on the first golf swing video of what will be the three swing models of the Mechanically-Correct Swing family, and that video will be called “Introduction To MCS – The Classic Golf Swing.”

As I said earlier, this is the easiest and most basic of the mechanically-correct swing models and is the type of swing model used by modern PGA Tour (and former) players Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Vijay Singh and going back to Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones.

Dunaway Hits Balls Left-Handed – Look At His Grip & Pivot

It’s funny that I’ve had the Mike Austin and Mike Dunaway swing videos for years, and have watched them all – the funny part is that, watching them now years later, things jump out at me that I never noticed before.

One thing about the MCS Golf Swing model theory that will never change, and can never change, is of course the “Leaning A” setup that mirrors Jack Nicklaus’ recommended setup from his “Golf My Way” book.

Great Ben Hogan Face-On Look (The “Leaning A” Setup)

The main reason I didn’t choose Ben Hogan’s swing for the MCS model is that he was a feel swinger who practiced endlessly, and so his setup would vary almost day to day – he would get the feel of how he was swinging on a particular day and go with it.

That’s not going to breed consistency – Hogan could do so because he hit balls every day, every single day, when he wasn’t actually playing.  Most of us can’t do that, and even if we could, we can simply avoid having to by building a consistent and repeatable setup over the ball.

On “The Basics” Video – Watch It Multiple Times For Max Benefit

First note – thanks to all WAX Nation members who have supported the cause by downloading the video!

I didn’t state this in the video “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing,” but I have experienced this situation in the past when discussing swing mechanics with people who have watched my MCS videos – you want to watch any instructional video multiple times.

There is simply no way you can watch a video with technical content only once and hope to retain everything.

Where Mike Dunaway Meets The Late Hogan Pivot

When I was working on the “Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” video, a good part of my time thinking about how to present the principles was how to explain the late Ben Hogan pivot action.

While I was going over the pivot action, I began to get a familiar feeling – “I’ve been here before,” I kept thinking, and I remembered what it was yesterday when answering colorful47’s question about hip turn vs hip rotation.

I Solved The Hogan Pivot Mystery With The Pivot Drill

I am working diligently on my shoulder rehabbing, because I am behind you – those of you who have downloaded the “Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” video are ahead of me.

Ahead in what?

In creating that perfect combination of a Jack Nicklaus-type grip with the MCS setup and Ben Hogan’s last silky pivot action that mesmerized the world when he won 3 majors in 1953.

Let’s go over the history of this evolution in the MCS Golf Swing.

The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing Video – Now Available!

Well, we’re finally here, WAX Nation – the new “Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” video is now available for download!

I was able to cut and slash the instructional material to within a half hour’s length – it is very short but very concise, with everything you need laid out in basic instructional form.  It is, in essence, whatever I would have presented in another era, but without all of the extraneous side-bars and repetition.
