Thank you so much for your videos!!!!I’m such a detailed oriented person and for so mNy years didn’t understand the golf swing until NOW. Otherwise you’ll never be able to troubleshoot your swing issues and improve your distance. Also, if you want a smooth good looking swing this is the holy grail !!! You’re 💯 !!!
@Overhand Golf thanks for posting this. Never seen this video b4. The lead foot angle was the most interesting for me. Your Holy Grail move pretty much takes care of everything else. This video could be used as a case study, you have to be a real golf junky to watch this video from start to finish.
Thanks for posting this, as I never heard of this guy. I would like to add that the no release golf part of the video he talks about is something of an amazing feeling. You don't direct the club head, it just falls into place like magic. The "Y shape swing" guy talks a lot about this and how to get to it. I never knew how to finish with speed, that part, I think from looking at the vids on this channel is spine tilt is the big key I am coming away with.
Mac would be pissed to see this video on UA-cam. I believe he made this right between his 2 PGA tour wins, as a favor to a friend. It was certainly at the pinnacle of his ballstriking. I attended one MORAD school. Mac was unbelievably energetic and we went from 8am until 9pm a couple of days.
Mac is still alive and well and teaching in Palm Springs. If he cared about this I'm sure he'd let UA-cam know. It's doubtful that anyone would learn anything from this other than thinking they should go get a lesson from him in person. I just thought it was interesting so here it is.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf Not quite. Mac did live in Palm Springs for a period of time. However he lives out of the country now and returns occasionally. When I last saw him, he indicated that he was going to limit if not end offering clinics going forward. A clinic with Mac is like spending two days with a Picasso to discuss painting. Not everyone paints like Picasso, but he is a genius with an extraordinary knowledge and a feel for the work and the doing of it that would make spending time with him a once in a lifetime experience. Same with Mac. He is an artist.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf There is a golf course about 15 miles outside of PS in a small town off the highway from LA and he has held clinics there, but he has no facility nor is he associated with one -- at least not to my knowledge. BTW, not that it matters, but I am a golf coach who has come upon your videos about a month or so ago and find them very intriguing, much more so than most of what one finds on UA-cam. And I like and admire their distinctiveness. Am I right to assume that you are located in the greater LA area?
@@julescoleman5438 I am in the LA area. I started the channel originally to help some friends who would get so frustrated on the course that you don't dare offer advice. So, I figured after they cool off maybe they'll watch a video. Then I figured, other people have the same problems so maybe I can help them too. Frankly, I'm surprised at how well it's doing. I've always been like this. I thought outside the box, before there was a term for it. Oftentimes I'll suggest to someone a solution to their problem and they think I'm an idiot or they get angry that I've given them the solution. They end up doing what I suggested but only after failing at every other way. I thought about them all and knew they wouldn't work and why. People without an ego will often say, "That's a really good idea!" I reply, "I keep the bad one's to myself." Luckily, with golf videos not too many people have egos to protect and defend.
Hi Overhand a great explanation of how the HGOG works.The part of the transition was very helful to me.The axis tilt has also been hard for me to understand but it was interesting how it is achieved.Thanks!
A couple of observations about O’Grady’s swing style. His comment about having 135° of radial deviation in the wrists at the top of the backswing indicates he, like Sam Snead, had a greater than average range of radial deviation. Average is 90° like in this emoji -> 👍. The more a golfer can cock the wrists back in the backswing the more acceleration and F = 1/2 (M x V^2) exponential increase in club head kinetic energy, both to counteract gravity on the way up and to accelerated back down to the ball around the hands on the way down without casting occurring earlier in the swing. Contrasted with the wide sweeping takeaway style of Hogan the early cocking of the wrists in O’Grady’s style requires less compensating shifting of body mass in the direction opposite the club head force vector. In a Hogan style swing where the club head is thrown back and low to generate momentum and increase club head kinetic energy there is much more unbalancing force to deal with. But in Hogan’s swing there was a underlying goal which was to torque the back leg against the resistance of a squared off back foot held firmly in place in Hogan’s case by an extra medal spike he had installed in his shoe to prevent the back foot from slipping. The O’Grady swing stretches and loads the muscles across the back to power the downswing using the momentum and kinetic energy generated by the early wrist cock. My personal experience trying both approaches over the past 40 years I’ve been playing is that with only average 90° of radial deviation I can’t snap the club up the same way O’Grady suggests and find the the Hogan style wide sweeping takeaway method for generating the lifting / turning force in the backswing works better with less strain on back long term. An observation about the downswing action is that the role side bending of the spine plays in controlling the shoulder angle and swing plane isn’t mentioned. Like radial deviation in the wrist there is a lot of variation in body proportions between golfers and those with longer than average torsos are able to really crank in the side bend during the downswing to maintain the shoulder angle and swing plane without rotating the trailing shoulder at the target causing the arms to swing out to the right instead of down and towards the target. I have a similar longer than average torso and arms and have learned to use side bend the same way his does to control the force vector of both the lead arm mass and the lagging club head mass it is dragging. It is the side bend action seen at impact in all good ball strikers which allows them to keep the trail should back in the downswing which is critical for having the straightening trail arm guide the mass of the lead arm down and towards the target line not off the the outside and right which pulls the body mass off balance and destroys accuracy. Finally what O’Grady repeatedly refers to as “centrifugal force” accelerating the club head between positions 5 and 6 in the downswing is actually due to position 5 extending the shaft horizontal to where the force of gravity is able to act on it to accelerate it, something keeping the wrists cocked back in radial deviation inhibits in the beginning of the downswing. The force of gravity tend to be taken for granted but if the force vectors of the moving masses in the golf swing are analyzed (body, arms, club head) it can be seen how it affects acceleration or all three towards the target. There are alternative swing styles [Harry Frankenberg (Count Yogi) and Mike Austin ] in which there is no attempt to lag the club in the downswing in which the club head freely allowing gravity to assist centrifugal force in accelerating it around the hands in the downswing generates more club head speed at impact than the lag and drag method.
O’Grady used a left hand grip in which his left hand grip was almost entirely in the fingers and not up against the heel pad of the left hand and I have heard him in other videos say that this grip allowed you to cock your wrists much more. He said so many players had their left hand grip too much in the palm.
I see that trying to either lag the club, or trying to put it into any position on the downswing, as another form of manipulation, which inhibits centrifugal force. Better to just float the club up, making a full shoulder turn and just leave it at the top of the backswing, without any intention to strike the golf ball. Surrender to the laws of gravity and the rotation is automatic and spontaneous. The reactive part of your brain will deal with this, without conscious thought, in order to prevent you falling over.
@@davidmcnamara3243 I agree with your premise of letting the club force define the swing plane but the golfer can and does exert conscious control over the path by how they grip the club. Something I came to realize about the Laidlay/Vardon grip is how it automatically causes the trail wrist to extend to the max which forces elbow to bend predictably which guides the club up to the top and back down to the ball, then after impact causes the same sequence to occur with the lead arm - forcing wrist into extension and elbow down in a mirror image of the takeaway trail arm action. It is why grip is such a fundamental and why golfers with good grips seem to swing the club effortlessly in balance and those with poor grips struggle and wind up trying to reflexively react to an unbalanced path by steering the club head back to the ball with the hand-eye coordination and wind up finishing off balance.
@@swisstrader i've had the book for 40 years and it's a tough read for us golfers. i've gotten a lot of insight into it on youtube. i always got a kick out of the girl swing model in her skirt and penny loafers, maybe it was homer's wife.
@@steveperry1344 I've watched it several times. I think there's a conspiracy to make golf instruction unintelligible in order to keep instructors in business forever. One thing I'm almost sure of is that some of the old timers lied to us and said they did things they didn't in order to confuse or bewilder their opponents. Guys like Snead were smart and they were competitors. Why give away your real secrets to the public or your competitors, if you can lie and confuse them and no one will ever know? People have told me and commented that they haven't told their friends about my channel because they didn't want them knowing what they learned from my videos and they liked beating their friends.
@@HolyGrailOfGolf i think it gets down to each guy kinda has their way to do it and they found it out for themselves and maybe that's where the big mystery comes from. i've been playing studying and trying to figure it out for 40+ years. for me what works one day can turn out to be sh- - the next day. i think it's like the body action is sort of rotational and the arm and club action more vertical up and down and tying the two together is the problem and it's not very instinctive at all. the other problem is when you want to swing down fast and hard the body tenses up to brace for the hit and stops moving and i stop turning and stand up and no good. i'll get it one day. i've been a 12 to 13 hdcp. for 30 years, just can't get it down.
@@steveperry1344 We need to get you down to a 4 or 5! There absolutely is a right way to swing the club unfortunately not many people know how or worse yet, how to explain how to do it. I played with a guy the other day who I could see had golf experience but had forgotten. He lived on a golf course and played really well as a kid but then took 20 years off and forgot how to swing. He was only driving the ball about 210. By the time we got to #10 he was hitting it about 260 and playing much better. Send me a video of your swing, hitting a real ball and let me have a look. OverhandGolf@usa.com Check this out, this is how to swing a golf club properly! ua-cam.com/users/shorts8bbntFukPxc Chase Duncan is his instructor and teaches the same type of swing that I do.

@@HolyGrailOfGolf he wore plus fours and later wore slacks with loose fitting shirt and tie tucked in, joned had one of the longest swing arcs in golf's history and had no trouble swinging. His 13 majors by the age of 28 in which hr retired is incredible. Plus the fact he rarely touched a club between tournaments. His 66 during a round during a British open qualifying roung would be like shooting a 55 today. He playef with wood shafts and a ball that was inferior even with what jack played. In jones playing time, you could not touch the ball until it was in the cup making scoring much more difficult. Playing partners have given accounts if jones hitting over 300 yards, i have on video jones hitting into a green 270 yards with his big spoon, a modern 3 wood, every shot was on the green with some very close. I would love to see how far he could've hit with today's ball and club, he worked on a larger club that he hit well over 300 yards but he didn't like that he couldn't control it every time, he called it the dreadnaught. Im glad i have all his instructional videos on dvd, his swing was poetry.
About 40 mins to much info what 6 positions stage no wonder golfers are confused about golf come on just move the ball FORWARD that's it no more complicated than that stick ball ball stick holy shit OTT video or what NASA stage rocket launcher scientific over kill 🤪

Greg, why even bother with this? Especially when we have the simplicity of the Holy Grail. Maybe you posted it because he was a character and for the historical value. You explained the whole thing in much less time.
Bother with this?? I would imagine Mac hit the ball better then anyone on this post and understood the golf swing. He also won a couple times on the PGA tour...so there is that also. Not sure if Overhand has won on the PGA tour??
That book is one of the most convoluted, over engineered descriptions of the simple thing called swinging the golf club. If you want to completely mess up your mind, read the book

Bother with this?? I would imagine Mac hit the ball better then anyone on this post and understood the golf swing. He also won a couple times on the PGA tour...so there is that also. Not sure if Overhand has won on the PGA tour??
is this Superstition Mountain?
I'm pretty sure it's Palm Desert, CA.
You would be WAY better off to read The Golfing Machine than to spend you time on this video.
That book is one of the most convoluted, over engineered descriptions of the simple thing called swinging the golf club. If you want to completely mess up your mind, read the book
I have read Acts of Parliament and mind numbing legal textbooks which were easier to read than The Golfing Machine!
@@maralvor agreed. Worst golf book ever written at least from a comprehensive standpoint
I just takes it back and I wacks it :
Sam Snead.
