Thats the good thing about this, this is not the boring "PGA standard lesson" you see everywhere.

Watched "The Move" which advocated:

1. Take your stance
2. Turn your back foot into the ground
3. Turn your shoulders into that foot on the backswing
4. Turn your body through

Tried this setup at home. Feels weird.

Doesn't mention weight bias at address though.....

What other videos would you recommend?

Who is this guy? Is he a player? Coach?

The videos are from Sevam1, he studied with Moe as I understand.

The pivot point of the swing is the most crucial point of your swing, it is where you control and power the swing,
by controlling I mean center the swing pivot so you can strike the ball in the right spot,
by power is the spot you load all your mussels so they can fire in the trough swing.

Thats why Mr Hogan, put a extra spike in that exact spot, the swing pivot.

By pivot is the spot for pivot and load, not the spot to put your body wight at set up! that remains 55-45, or 50.50 if you want.

Yeh, him and the guys from Golf Evolution (the former biggest S&T instructors on the web for 5yrs).



In reality none of it matters though, the ball has to be hit in a certain way to fly properly, there's only so many ways (or few) that this can happen regularly that pretty much all instruction is going to follow the same principles as it's obvious that standing on your hands and gripping the club between your toes won't work. A bit like cars.... 4 wheels, an engine and some body work yet all car dealers will tell you just how great their car is compared to all the rest - but the principle remains the same.

Trackman, flightscope, ProTracer, Konica Swing Vision etc etc have changed instruction forever... for the better.

I know it all ends the same way, but to get there I have to understand the fulcral point
and the loading of the right leg I never saw nobody telling, the understanding of the full swing pivot was fulcral
to me. I had 1 lesson so far,but Im a good observer, and I enjoy learning the game by myself....its late!

Secrets you don't learn in lessons... here's one.

Want to know how to hit a 7 iron 230 yards?
Try laying up with water at the end of the fairway...
