Manuel De La Torre Swing
Good read on MDLT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_de_la_Torre_(golfer)
I like watching Monte Scheinblum. His no cast turn video really is amazing. He’s a LD guy so I like his instruction because it’s always going to be speed related. Swinging your arms faster is the key to hitting it longer.
I’ve picked up some good winter drills from him and a few others to increase strength in my left side and increase arm speed.

This makes too much sense. lol
"The club-focused instruction long advocated by de la Torre and Ernest Jones prior to him has now been validated by new research performed by Dr. Gabriele Wulf at the University of Las Vegas and by Dr. Bob Christina at the University of North Carolina.
In their studies players of all skill levels improved faster when given club-focused instruction."It has been recognized that the golf club is a tool and humans are remarkable in their use of tools (hammer, scissors, scalpel, knife, tooth brush, etc.). With none of these, or any other tools, does a person attend to how the body is used. The body action is a subconscious physical response to the user's conscious mental intention."[7]"
Sneakylong Who Knew?! We are actually predisposed to the Jones/MDLT method.

Sarnella I don’t, I get bored at the indoor golf place I work at so I do the drills. I’ll hit a few balls indoors to make sure my numbers are still up. I went to the range twice this year just to make sure I’m still hitting it over fence at the end of the range is all. I hate sending around doing nothing

This describes what happens in a powerful golf swing. When an MDLT swing can produce a 300 yard drive, let me know.
I'm currently using the anti MDLT swing I guess. I take it back and my only thought on the downswing is turn my left hip behind me. That pulls everything down and through. If I think about using my arms or hands at all it ruins everything. Really easy on the body and so far very accurate. Even my nephew mentioned that I look like I'm putting no effort into the swing. Just shows anything can work for somebody and there are no absolutes.
I apologize. When I hear of swing methods, it's a trigger for me. Take for example instructors David Leadbetter and Sean Foley. Under their tutelage, the swings of Tiger Woods, Lydia Ko and Michelle Wie were ruined.
Here's a famous quote from Leadbetter in 1997
"Right now, Tiger is a one-dimensional player who swings full on practically every shot.....Another thing that will prevent Tiger from winning a major is pressure. There’s a big difference between winning at Las Vegas and winning at Augusta… He has to pay his dues."

As you know everyone online has a schtick... try MY swing, try MY swing... always gonna be some crap out there. Some good and some bad. You really have to look at it and make sure is not too far "out there"
