Goofin' on Ben and Moe and Lee

I was at the lake today talking about where the weight is at various points in the swing.

Here's a link to the Youtube video http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=nH0XBJutrcU

and below is some goofin' around making swings like a few of my favorite golfers Hogan and Moe and Trevino. It was freezing and I just wanted to make the best of it and have some fun.

That was so cool, and the sound.. How the f are you doing this. I have studied all your videos on youtube and read the most on golf wrx and re-read five lessons a dussins of time and practise aLOT!
What is "the dirt" It drives me crasy. From an even colder place called Sweden.Brrr

The last one was the cleanest strike. The recipe for the sound... 1. Heavy Forged Club 2. Very Firm Grip Pressure 3. Feet Reinforcing the Strike With The Ground 4. Significant Clubhead Speed 5. Center Of Face Contact

All this = Different Sound

The lower the pitch the purer the shot.

Thud = Good
Click = Not So Good

You swing is really good !
I am happy to see a man who have got the swing as me.I gess your right hand is active at the downswing in order to accelerate the head of the club.You play like Mike Austin and Ben Hogan.

Moe believed his swing should balance him. He wasn't trying to force the hit. He simplely swung the handle and let the head release naturally through impact. He played into the fairway by swinging into it (out and up) instead of in and around! That is a very different approach which is not taught today.
