Introducing “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” (Preview Clip)

Leave a reply

We’re finally getting somewhere here, WAX Nation!

I’ve cobbled together a little preview clip for the upcoming “The Basics Of The MCS Golf Swing” video that will be out later this month.

As I mentioned earlier when I re-started the project from scratch, I had decided to dispense with trying to patch together previous videos to create a new one and to use the clips that I found useful, but also to simply voice over the new parts that I would have had to re-shoot – and that would have taken us into spring or summer of this year.

Can You See The “Swing Point” or “Fulcrum?”

It is counter-intuitive to think, if you’re not used to the concept, that you swing from something other than your arms, but that is reality.

The arms are the only links to the club, of course, but they arms are swinging from the shoulders, and the mid-point of the shoulders is really the point around which the swing turns.

Ben Hogan’s Setup Face-On – Perfect Illustration Of Why NOT To SWING Like Hogan.

I’ve already highlighted in previous posts how people claiming to emulate Ben Hogan’s swing are so far from the goal, they’re not even in the stadium, first and foremost being the way Hogan set himself up to the ball with his various clubs.

We know that Hogan placed the ball on the exact same line from Driver to wedge, and that he adjusted his stance to angle himself from closed with the feet to wide open with the wedge, something that no one you have seen every does.

“There’s No Fixed Fulcrum In The Golf Swing…”

I nearly deleted my YouTube account when I read that comment regarding the golf swing this week.

Now, let me preface the following observations by stating that I don’t care what this golfer or that golfer does, because we are talking about optimal with regards to mechanics here.

So, how do I make a statement that refutes this statement that there is no fixed fulcrum in the golf swing?

3 Hogan Pivots – The Last One Was The Perfect One

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I was delighted to have found that Golf Digest video talking about Ben Hogan’s swing mechanics, because it contained a swing clip I’d never seen before.

It bridged the gap between Hogan’s early years on the PGA Tour with the early pivot action he performed then and his eventual “Perfect Pivot” action that everyone today knows by sight.

Hogan’s Pivot Action – 5i Diagonal View (Power & Leverage)

I have a 5 iron swing from when I shot the “E = MCS” video back in 2017, and you can see how deceptive the Hogan pivot action is with the low heel lift – but the fully turned hips provide all of the leverage power here.

I know that if I can successfully transfer the knowledge of how to perform this pivot, it will be a game-changer, even for the WAX Nation citizens of old – there is a Classic Golf Swing pivot, and then there is the Classic Golf Swing pivot, which is Ben Hogan’s.

MCS Video In November – And The Pivot Has Never Been Easier

I’m reaching the end of working on side issues that have delayed my completion of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video, so I can confidently say that the video will completed and available next month.

Exactly when next month, I cannot promise, unfortunately – I just know that, unless something unanticipated arises, I’ll have the time to complete the reviewing and compilation of material from the previous videos and my swing archive and get this project done.

What Happens When You Don’t Transfer Weight (Horror Show & This Guy TEACHES)

I do believe I’ve had a clip of this particular fellow up just this past summer, but I don’t want to bother to confirm it, because these people are better remaining nameless to me.

However, before you even watch this horror show, you’ll be interested no doubt to know that this gent has an online teaching business that he runs out of Scottsdale AZ, because why not?

The Weight Transfer Is The Fuel For The Golf Swing Engine

This will likely be the major theme of the upcoming MCS Golf Swing video.

We all know that there are many different ways to swing a golf club, from the optimal motion to everything in between that and “dead wrong.”

Unfortunately for the golfing world at this moment, the Modern Golf Swing with the traditional lower back twist and restricted hip turn is “dead wrong.”

I cannot even think of a worse way to swing than in this manner.  Continue reading →

One Setup, One Swing – Nicklaus + Hogan = MCS Swing Video

Both Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan had a setup that was considered “the same for all clubs,” and that is the way you want to swing as well.

I’ve been saying forever now that you want to setup more like Nicklaus did (I don’t think he invented the setup, but as the G.O.A.T., we’ll just call it the “Nicklaus” setup), and that you want Hogan’s pivot action.
