Watch The MCS Lob Shot – Shaft Plane

I have been focused so much on the full swing that I have neglected to illustrate how, in addition to starting your MCS Golf Swing journey with the short game (or adding to what you’ve learned already in one of the full swing videos), the mechanics that you implement for it will only strengthen the full swing.

I was re-watching some of the swings from my MCS Short Game video when something caught my eye on one of the lob shots, because the camera was set up at the perfect angle to catch my down the line shaft plane.

The Short Game Is The Starting Point For MCS Swinging

I never really contemplated it before, because when I released the “MCS – Short Game” video back in 2016, I had already produced and released several MCS Golf Swing video.

Re-watching “Short Game” however and receiving feedback from recent viewers, I was struck by the realization that it is the starting point for learning and performing the MCS swing motion.

Both Are True – Nicklaus Had The Best Swing, Hogan Had The Best Pivot

It seems a contradiction to say, but both of the following are true:

  • Jack Nicklaus had the best swing ever in golf,
  • Ben Hogan had the best pivot ever in golf.

If you wonder how they can both be true, here’s how it is – if you asked me, which of Jack’s or Hogan’s swings I would use if I had to replicate them exactly (or try to), I would pick Nicklaus, hands down.

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.

Matt McCarty – Lefty Classic Golf Swinger On The PGA Tour

I’ve never heard of this player, even though he he’s defending his title this weekend on the PGA Tour, but Mr. McJohn suggested I have a look at this lefty Classic Golf Swinger – so I did.

Sure enough, a good-looking Classic Golf Swing there, with load of power, and there’s only one thing in his swing that gives me a little pause watching him.

Golf Digest Unknowingly Scores On Its Own Goal

You will all know by now my repeating the phrase, “only in golf,” or “all other sports,” perhaps ad nauseam, when comparing golf (negatively) to other sports.

It is not a mark of distinction to be held apart from the others – in life, we call someone like that a black sheep or outcast, or any other such uncomplimentary terms.

Nelly Korda Suffers From Neck Issues. I’m Shocked.

Nelly Korda is currently ranked 2nd on the Rolex World Rankings and has spent a considerable time at No. 1.

I didn’t know much about her except for the Korda name as she turned pro around the time I stopped watching televised golf much, so I decided to check her out after reading a headline about her withdrawal from an event with an injury two weeks ago.

No. 1 Reason To NOT Follow YouTubers If You’re Swinging Classically

I have the No. 1 reason why you should never watch YouTubers if you’re a Classic Golf Swinger, and it’s the only reason you really need.

That’s because of the same reason you shouldn’t try to swing exactly like Ben Hogan, even if you are a Classic Golf Swinger.

Emulate Hogan’s pivot, by all means – but leave the rest of his swing alone, because it will only come to grief due to his personal compensations and club manipulations, just as if you watch the YouTubers.

OK – Let Me Show You Something YouTuby That Completely Reverses Ben Hogan

The reason I keep mentioning Ben Hogan in my tirades about YouTube instruction is because Ben Hogan’s swing model has become the pseudo-standard for Modern Golf Swing instruction.

Meaning, everyone thinks they are modeling Ben Hogan with their misguided teaching, but it’s so far from the actual Hogan as to be unrecognizable – and he would drop dead if he were still with us, I can assure you.

I Finally Agree With Tiger Woods – Again (Don’t Watch YouTube)

I first agreed with Tiger Woods when he was asked who the G.O.A.T. was – his blunt and direct answer was, “Nicklaus – I’m four majors (then, now three) behind him.”

You have to understand that I don’t have any sort of hatred for TW – I simply abhor the way he has swung from when he was an amateur, because the Modern Golf Swing is garbage.

I consider him the greatest victim of all time (of bogus swing instruction), but at a certain point, he should have begun to look into a more mechanically-sound way of swinging.
