This guy is clearly an outstanding golfer. I enjoy the passion he has for the game.. For those of us that love the game as much as he obviously does, its great to see....Thats what its all about...Thanks Sevam1, i look forward to your insight....
To a degree that is one of the benefits of this approach to alignment, but it also allows you to feel the proper width of stance, direction of the stance, flare of the forward foot. Basically the whole works and get a sense of those things relative to the target. By making the little swings beside and back of the ball on about a 45 degree. From here you can move to the ball easily with one or two little steps and replicate how you just dynamically oriented everything to the target.
An alignment trick I picked up from watching Count Yogi videos was to swing and hold my finish extension and judge the flight of the ball (starting path). It very similar to sighing a rifle if your swing is consistent. Just pay attention to where the club is pointing at extension and how it relates to the flight of the ball.
Most shanks (probably 99%) are the product of an inside path and an open clubface. This in turn could be caused by something as simple as standing too close to the ball or too far for that matter. Always start from simple. Line up with the ball on the toe of the club for a bit and see if that helps. Knudson always lined up that way to allow for the pull of the club. If by doing this you are catching it on the toe and the ball in taking off right then work on path and squaring that clubface.
It's amazing how the ball finishes where the navel points!! So now i'm aligning my feet to the right of the target line and i'm hitting them dead straight at the target, right where my navel points. I guess that's why it's different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is built the same and our bodies won't all act the same way to the same alignments.
This really seems to be helping me right now. I just hit a bucket using this technique. I've been trying to line up the "correct" way for a while now and what i just noticed is that my navel finishes WAY to the left of where i'm aiming if i aim my feet parallel to the target line "correct way".
As a schoolboy I laughed at established pros, and even Tiger watching them spray the ball....I'm in awe of Mike from first time I seen him and hearing him flushing it ball after ball
Do you talk about golfers who hit a shank. and how to stop from shanking. My problem seems to be at the top of the swing right elbow moves out cupping left wrist and weight going toward the toes.
I notice that your left foot is slightly open and forward and your right foot is closed...can you explain the advantage of standing like that? Thanks Curt

Absolutely love these videos. Mike's swing and tempo are amazing.
If this guy was on tour,everyone would be trying to copy this . This guy is great.
You guys are hilarious with the surgery talk and the barking dog. It's a sitcom. :)
Seriously, very informative and helpful, so thanks.
Have been watching your videos for the last few days, and I find them entertaining and informative. Way to go. And love the cute dog.

The starting path is determined by the clubface,not swing path.
The face sends it the path bends it

Sevam1: Thank you!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!!
Welcome back Sevam and Cameraman as always really nice infos :)
and...Cameraman don't try to do practice swing with a chainsaw anymore :P
Thank you for the golf tip.
What about picking a spot in front of ball squaring club face to direction you want to start the ball going.
Thanks for the tip.
You are correct sir. The best damned rain shell I ever designed. ;)
Sevam1
Is Casey still around?
Sadly no. I miss him every day.
A great dog that I laughed at in each video ! He would get so pissed at Mike for not hitting the ball!
Swing path to feet position
dogs are great .. he set up dynamically to get you to chuck a ball for him:)
why dont you put the dog and cameraman inside the house so we can hear what your saying
Not the dog. I love the dog.
I notice that your left foot is slightly open and forward and your right foot is closed...can you explain the advantage of standing like that?
Thanks

Get a Tri Pod and talk to the Viewers....Lose the Camers guy!!
OCD
Stop messing around with the ball.
Hit it or leave it.
