Xtreme Driving! (trebuchet move)

Posted on June 30, 2011 by

I figured out what was wrong with my Callaway FT5 9 degree driver today.  First off, I love Callaway golf clubs.  But this one, I got in the spring and couldn’t hit well.  Everything went right.

My Callaway Driver (HD video)

Posted on June 28, 2011 by

What’s My Swing Speed?

Posted on June 22, 2011 by

It was raining today, and Steve’s question about my ball flight and loft took me to Golf Town, where I was looking to get a swing speed radar, that device that can measure club head speed and ball speed.

The Throw Release

Posted on June 21, 2011 by

I put a simple Driver swing on a loop at double speed from a 210 fps slow motion capture, because speeding it up 2x from the actual playback speed shows very well (in my opinion) the “throw release” technique that … Continue reading →

Rory McIlroy’s Swing!

Posted on June 17, 2011 by

I don’t have my TV-video-capturing device anymore, since getting my digital cameras (it was an analog device and I used it primarily for transferring video from my old Sony Handycam), so I couldn’t get a clip of Rory McIlroy’s new … Continue reading →

An Extraordinary Day (7 iron video)

Posted on June 15, 2011 by

Today was an extraordinary day.  I hadn’t hit balls since Sunday and had spent the two past days just looking at video and especially the Rear Angle view video, analyzing my rotation and pivot actions.

MCS 2.0 – The Trebuchet Drop

Posted on June 15, 2011 by

I have been studying the golf swing for six years now, and my greatest regret, other than not having heard of Mike Austin until at least two years after my quest began, of course, is not having taken video before … Continue reading →

MCS Swing – Wedge (new video)

Posted on June 13, 2011 by

I got some video with the Pitching Wedge yesterday. Unfortunately, the lighting was poor with the cloudy conditions, but you can still get a good look at the mechanics.

MCS Theory on Foot Alignment

The Compound Pivot (video)

Posted on June 9, 2011 by
