"Just joined the site and i must say im astounded! I,ve been following Brian Manzella's forum for a while and following all the recent scientific findings from Nesbit, Zick etc. What do you know, Mike Austin have found
all of it eons ago. Really felt confident learning a swing that is validated by science.
All the best!

"Hi Steve,
I think I got it!!!!! And it is exactly the way you describe it in your lessons.
It feels so EASY, the ball goes straight almost every time, and there is no
strain on the back. It just suddenly clicked that it's like tetherball- with
the clubhead as the ball, the shaft as the rope, and your SCC like the pole!
Centrifugal force!!
This morning I was hitting 103 mph with a smooth 5/8 or 6/8 swing and could
crank it up to 107 with a little more "snap." I'm 5'6" 145 lbs., wouldn't call
myself particularly strong or athletic, and have been playing golf only 3 years
(I'm 39, currently a 9 hdcp). With some more work on flexibility to take the
club back a little farther, and some speed and strength training, I can easily
see getting up to 110ss soon (something that seemed impossible last year) and
dropping my scores consistently into the mid-70s this season - as fun as it is
to see the increased swing speed, the Mike Austin technique has made pitching
the ball so much easier, and enabled me to get up-and-down 7 times my last round
(+3).
Again, so many thanks .... what a difference this will make to my game if I can
groove this motion. I'm from San Diego originally, so hopefully I can meet you
for a live lesson the next time I'm out there visiting family!"

Steve - thanks for providing the MA swing in a simple format. I feel there is a lot of information, but necessary to be explained.
I am working hard on the swing and have increased driving yardage by about 30 yards honestly. However, my miss is a pull. Can you advise of what might be the problem and solution? I understand it could have to do with my set up which has high hands at address (ulnar deviation, similar to the set up of Moe Norman in relation to the wrists). -Matt
