I would say that the last year in which I did a lot of ball-striking and swing work would have been 2017 – after that, I would just go to the range once or twice a week, if that, to see if I could optimize the swing model I presented in the 2017 video “E = MCS.”

After Careful Review Pt. 2
The thing about this new setup I’m exploring is that, as I’ve said in Pt 1, it’s neither the standard Classic Golf Swing setup I laid out in the “E = MCS” video, nor is it the setup that Mike Dunaway used for his swing model, nor is it even the way I was personally setting up for the Dunaway-inspired Post-Modern Swing model.
The Simplest Swing Action (But Likely Harder To Explain)
If you’re wondering why I’ve been working so long and seemingly without progress on my new swing model, it’s because it’s the simplest action one can make with a mechanically-correct swing model that maximizes both power and accuracy combined.
Swinging Right-Handed Means Exactly That
One would think that this is a straight-forward statement and even simpler concept, but I’ve watched enough so-called right-handed swingers to see that almost no one actually does it.
This is why Mike Dunaway’s swing looked so markedly different from any other swing you see, even his mentor’s – he was swinging virtually 100% with his right arm and hand.
Post-Two-Month Break – 190 MPH Ball Speed & Nearly 130 MPH Club…
I didn’t get quite get the new model nailed down today on my first foray back to hitting balls at the Tracer Golf facility.
I’ll be honest, however – I loved it every moment of it.
The most joy I’ve had in my swing research over the years have been in those solitary moments on the range or golf course, working on whatever it was I was after, and the process always gave me as much pleasure as the results.
Happy New Year – Back To Work
Happy New Year, WAX Nation!
I took the month of December off swinging or blogging (although I’m always working on the swing at home even when not hitting balls), to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends, but it’s back to work time.
Model Work Nearly There – Complete Overhaul
I had gotten as far as I was going to go with the Classic Golf Swing model on which I’ve been working since 2015.
While it was mechanically-correct, it was either that I wasn’t executing the principles properly or there was something missing.
July DTL vs Yesterday (Improvement Notes)
Some of you, I’m sure, look at my swing clip offerings and think, “there’s no change, what’s he talking about?”
I wouldn’t blame you, because one rarely ever makes radical changes to one’s swing when using the exact same model, but I can show you what I see different in my swing from July to yesterday, showing the improvements I’ve made working on my setup and pivot.
The Quiet Power Of Leverage (Diagonal & Reverse Angles)
I was struck today watching the Pro Long Drive World Championship when I had a glance at the Seniors Final, after I’d taken in the Open Final yesterday.
Right off the bat, what I noticed was that the Senior swingers have far better technique than the younger Open competitors, and the reason for this is obvious – the older you get, the higher the risk of injury in something like a high-powered golf swing, so you’d better get mechanically-sound if you don’t want to snap something.
No, It’s B+ For Setup & F For Execution (Further Analysis)
Friday was very instructive, as it finally gave me the insight on how I was failing on the setup for my swing model in Friday’s session.
That said, as I mentioned that I had made an adjustment on the leading wrist which I didn’t get on video for either irons or Driver, I don’t know for sure if I had actually nailed it at the end, because I have nothing at which to look.
