Typhoon It's 'no turn, cast,' not 'no cast, turn.' He asks players to swing the club back without turning and then to deliberately cast on the way down.

    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"

                  Typhoon Someone would buy into it.

                  That's the difference between Mr. De La Torre and the YouTube schmucks of today. His teaching before the internet have stood the test of time. Read the wiki that Subsonic posted for the validity of Ernest Jones and Manuel De La Torre. Especially for the old curmudgeons on this site who all seem to have some heath issues body wise. Hmmmm, I am 73 with no knee or hip replacement or health torso issues Manuel must have been on to something. I still walk and carry 18. 😆

                      If you put in the work and read the books, the Jones/MDLT method is one of the better methods that I have seen. I wish I would have discovered it years ago.

                      Not sure club focused or body focused swings are methods. I think of stack and tilt as a method. Or Leadbetters A swing a method.

                      Maybe just semantics, but for me to fall in one camp or another it’s what you feel you are doing to swing the club.

                      I think of no body movement independent of my hands and arms swinging the club. The body just reacts and supports the hands and arms.

                      And if you concentrate on body movements first and the hands and arms are secondary then that’s a body focused swing.

                      Now you can have different club focused methods and body focused methods. Just watch YouTube. You’ll see all kinds of methods. Lol

                      Body focused swings are like 90 percent of what is taught these days.

                      Regarding distance with the MDLT swing, I have not noticed a drop off. Still poking it out there fairly well. Last week I was 189 out and used a 5 iron to put it in the center of the green. That distance is normal, but putting it on the green is not. 😀
