Re-Started The Video – I Wasn’t Satisfied (Here’s Why)

I took a look at what I had completed with the new video, after I recovered from my flu and things settled down with the holidays, and I just wasn’t happy – I am simply a bit of a perfectionist at the worst of times.

What I found was that much of the explanation portion of the previous videos wasn’t what I want to say NOW about the golf swing, and searching through endless previous footage of the tutorials was ending with my having to “make do” with things that I thought or felt I would explain differently were I to actually shoot a new video.

MCS Does What Hogan Said To Do… (Hand Action)

I had made this gif. from the found raw video tutorials I had unearthed last month but was feeling too ill to write a post about it.

Today is a little better, so I wanted to share what was watching and listening to, and how it mirrors Ben Hogan’s hand action drill nearly exactly.

YouTube Pro Says “Why Overloading Your Lead Leg Is Bad… So Watch Me Do That…”

I’ve run across this account before and have just shaken my head over the stuff I see being peddled by a guy that could be me – older, grey beard and still swinging.

I can offer one redeeming factor in this channel, and it’s that this silver gent actually performs a Classic Golf Swing pivot with the lifting lead heel, which is the only reason he’s still able to swing hard at that age.

Watch This Fraud Teaching People How To Slice/Pull

There’s no other word I can come up with to describe what I just watched.

An absolute fraud, and I’ll show you what I’m talking about.

If you watch the one-handed swing, this dude is pulling the club way outside-in and hard across the line to the left.

Adding A Segment On The “Nicklaus” Grip (MCS Video)

Part of the reason this project is taking so long to complete is that I am still looking at things while I’m putting all of the components together.

I have in the past couple of days spent a good deal of time looking at the grip instruction in my previous videos, and finding them OK for showing the “standard neutral grip” that I have always advocated, but there’s something else I want to offer.

The Left-Arm Swing Action (To Go With Yesterday’s Right)

Here is the corresponding one-armed swing action to go with yesterday’s right-arm motion.

Again, you see that, with a stable swing-point, you take out a large degree of risk of mis-hitting the ball with a proper motion.

The Right-Arm Swing

I have been going through the raw video footage from past projects which I discovered on an old hard drive packed away in my storage, and found yet another gem that I would definitely have included if I had shot a brand new video last summer.

As you all know, the only reason I didn’t was because I developed a mysterious and chronic pain in my left shoulder around March (I wasn’t even swinging at the time), which I discovered when I went to swing my training aid after a couple or few days off.

I’ve Found My Raw Video Footage From The “E = MCS” & “Kinesiology” Videos

I can’t believe I found them, but I did indeed – not the published videos that I released in past years, but the raw, unedited video that I shot when I was creating those published videos for release.

This is massive – I have been lamenting how I was having a devil of a time watching and taking clips from the finished videos, but I went digging today through my boxes of assorted computer “stuff” (I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to certain things), on a hunch, and I found an old hard drive that contains most of my old raw video footage – I’ve just hooked it up to see what was on it, and I struck gold.

“Let’s Talk About Jack Nicklaus – Then Do The Complete Opposite!”

Here is something I just fell across today while taking a little jaunt through YouTube.

You will all know our friendly baseball-player-turned-golf-instructor-teaching-a-baseball-swing, by now, so he needs no introduction.

The clip that I came across is the analysis of Jack Nicklaus’ driver swing clip from the 1963 Masters, one I’ve shown you all before.

The MCS Video Is Nearly Completed… A Few More Days

I apologize to everyone who’s been awaiting the new MCS Golf Swing video – work is progressing and I think I’ll have a finished product in the next few days, but it’s been an arduous process trying to distill everything to its simplest form.

I don’t think the golf swing is that complicated a motion, after twenty years of swing research and analysis – the issue for me is trying to find a balance between too simple (not enough information) and overlong and complicated – it may just seem simple after twenty years, which is the hazard I’m trying to avoid.
