What does ‘Transition’ mean? ‘Transition’ is the change in movement from backswing to downswing, so should technically mean the point at which the clubhead reverses direction. All sorts of movements are recommended for a golfer to ‘transition’. Have you heard any of these before? 1. Shift weight back towards target 2. Re-plant your raised left […]
The Evolution of The Minimalist Golf Swing System Let’s face it, folks. Regardless of qualifications, the ‘credentialed’ golf instructor acquires at best, a week of ‘what to teach’ information, through ANY Professional Golf Association of the world. At the end of the week or so of information, he/she is let loose to sink or […]

What do GOLF’s Ball Flight Laws and Shakespeare have in common? “Much Ado About Nothing” (MAAN) You only need 3 ball flights which are of any practical use whatsover – the straight shot, the pull-slice and the push-hook (yes if you want to split hairs you can term them the pull-fade and the push-draw too).

The ONE MOST IDIOTIC Golf Swing POSITION The GRIP. They told you about interlock/overlap/ten-finger. They told you about palm vs finger. They told you where the ‘V’ for each hand should point, and whether the grip should be ‘strong’ or ‘weak’. They told you which fingers of the left and which […]

Typical and Atypical situations with respect to the MGSS All ‘typical’ MGSS shots (ie full-swing, pitch/bunker, chip and putt shots) are designed to give a golfer an inside path and wide arc (of both the lead as well as trail arms) during the backswing.

A […]
Many ‘MGS’ users complain of a making a ‘push’ shot (straight out to the right, for a right-handed golfer, with no curve on the ball). Firstly it should not be a complaint, because at least they now have just one stock shot, and the earlier low pulls or sliced shots are gone. They’re therefore ‘almost’ […]
