Pivot braking excellence at p7.5 01:40 is great stuff for the pivot and weight transfer. 19:00 seems to be really float loading it. A very athletic man.
I totally agree on the float loading. Rarely see Mac set up with mid body hands and use a lagging club head takeaway. Thought I was seeing Gregg McHatton there for second 😊
I could watch Mac all day. I've seen some video of him working with Seve, which is very cool. The BEST video I've seen of him is his interview on ESPN with Roy Firestone. You can find it on here. He is fascinating! Such a cool guy.
@@MBSwingworks the video of those two swings, looks like 60% effort with the swing, and 150% compression. That ball is absolutely not getting blown off line of the target. Probably the best example of effortless power I have seen. To me, those iron swings are 1,000 times more impressive than a smoothly swung driver that carries 320+. Not even close. Amazing.
He is strong saw him break an 8 iron at the Hawaiian Open by grabbing the shaft with one hand near the club head and slamming the the side of the grip down, it is so much harder than it sounds.
The flared right foot....Grant Waite copied this, or was he just an admirer of Mac? It opens my hips when I swing which helps my lower back rotation a lot.
Nice....a real character....I remember he had a little run in the early 80's....a few really hot weeks....good old days....these guys today are just boring....don't tell me bryson....thats not a character....thats a fool.
Sorry, but by today's standards this is mediocre technique. What's more this represents an obsession with what is less than 40% of the game. Little wonder handicaps have remained stagnated for many decades. Most of the golfing world obsesses with golf swings and getting distance; not getting the ball in the hole. Charles Howell III is another name who forgot what the game is really about. It will never change. Most golfers play the game with their egos or their genitals. Gary McCord said O'Grady didn't have a clue about the nuances of playing a round of golf which probably explains why it took him 17 attempts to get a Tour card and had very little success as a player.
@@pb12661The sliding left knee at impact is old school. Modern players, who need every ounce of power to compete now, push up early from the ground and straighten the leg before and through impact, not after. This opens the angles of the lag with considerable force. O'Grady neglects the ground letting his leg action support his swing not drive it. Posting up early creates a bigger lash. The spine is kept straighter too now, to reduce bend in it and protect the back. Like so many others back then, O'Grady wrecked his back. Personally, I don't like the little over-the-top moves in some versions of his swing even though these may be swings with extra fade? Most pros loop a little to the inside, even fading the ball. Some loop inside a lot. Few loop outside. Nicklaus faded from an inside move, quote ... "I don't mind a player swinging across the line as long as he does it from the inside." But of course, O'Grady changed his swing through the years ....
@@steveperryman8102 come on man. He had a first class swing no matter what era. He hurt his back running 100+ a week. It wasn't his golf swing. the modern swing is way hard on the body anyway......
@@pb12661 ... except nobody trying to compete swings like it any more? Walk along any tournament range and you will see they all swing different now .... all using the ground more and taking care of the spine more. To claim a lifetime of spine bending and spine torsion had no input to his condition is delusional. I suffer bilateral sciatica thanks to two blown discs ..... largely thanks to years of a good old reverse "C" era golf swing.
this is just a study of his swing action and not the whole game. i tend to play too much golf swing when i play and not enough get the ball in the hole.
full dose of mac, this is what i've been looking for. pictures are worth a thousand words, thnx.
Looks amazing to me
Damn Mike I thought your 10 Minute compilation was good, but this is just insane. Thank you for posting!
This is a labor of love!

Love those clips you mentioned. I love the back view at 01:40 too.

I have one with him on Letterman too, check that out Eric. His Seve video’s too! Treasure trove!
@@MBSwingworks I just watched his interview with Letterman. Classic! I'll look for the other one, and post the link.

16:56 - 17:10. I live for that sound.

I’ve heard many tales of how much of an athlete he has been!
I have a few lines on hats, lol. 16.38 is the videos my old coach used to use for teaching.
90/90/90 drill with a hit hard stop fast in there!

Sweet!
as great as this swing is, without that long left thumb it wouldn't be nearly as good
Stack and Tilt?
@@justinpeterson2105 Stack and Tilt founders Mike and Andy were heavily influenced by Mac and credit Mac a lot for their understanding of the swing.
@@MBSwingworks That makes sense
Nirvana.
What a strange bird.
He didn’t have it
What was missing is the question?
