This is a great video on the release for early MORAD and how to basically practice it in your living room. There is a comment below on how the release helps you stay balanced. I agree with the statement.

I find it so difficult to have the punch hold release in short irons but more of an earlier release head further back for longer clubs.

is there any videos on him getting from p3-p4 they all seem to be about the follow through

The last 12 minutes of this is like a personal lesson with the great man himself.He is very flexible in his back and wrists.

High Kevin from p4 is the left arm which is on the chest trying to get off the chest as quickly as possible or dose it stay on the chest until cf releases it .

Not sure where this video was taken or exactly when in May 1994 but I was at St Mellion that year in May for the Benson and Hedges which Seve won and remember seeing Mac there with him. Watched Seve on practice round and he was pretty wild off the tee but as I remember had a hole in one on 11th ? Ground was super hard and he practised on several holes hitting low iron shots short and running them onto the green. Saw him also winning on last day !

the LEAN is a good idea but it can be over done and cause swing issues; its just a slight re-centering. Great stuff Kevin!

Gary Edwin was the PGA swing coach who taught Pampling & Co

Hey Kevin. I was thinking.... To me, it would be a great learning experience to see footage of Mac O'grady's swing BEFORE he reworked it. Any biographical narration by Mac on his time during the reworking of his swing would be fascinating. I know I would appreciate it greatly

Hi, where do I get access to Mac’s website? Can’t find it anywhere by searching ‘Mac O’Grady golf school’…

Great video. Always loved Gary Hallberg's action. My long time teacher (Carl Lohren) worked quite a bit with Gary when he first came out on Tour. I was lucky enough to see Mac play in person in New Orleans back in the day. His pre-round warm up was interesting. He only hit 3-irons off of a tee for his entire warm up. There were several Tour pros that interrupted his warm up to ask him questions about the Golfing Machine (Gil Morgan was one of them). I was impressed that - even though they interrupted him - he was very kind and patient with each one of them.

So is he explaining that unfolding the trail arm earlier keeps the hands lower through impact which keeps the body turning on plane?

Seems like many people were fascinated by Mac’s personal dynamics and behavior, which of course included infinite information all about golf. So lots of instructors were fascinated by his knowledge and skill. Who are the tour players that used and benefitted from his direct intent- we know Seve had lessons but was that like stopping in to see one of Trevino’s clinics before chasing your tour card? Lots of contributors to golf lure and instruction like Homer Kelley and handicaps keep getting higher… But very interesting.. Now we see mixing Golfing Machine, Morad and Stack and Tillt - bet all crossed paths on the way to becoming “a method or pattern”.

You could be explaining Tiger and Rory in relation to activating Ground forces into the downswing then retaining height through the ball

Mudd best swing no one talks about ...one of the best ever. Arguably even 2nd best after Hogan

Hey Kevin, wondering if you had the answer or insight on this one… Mac had his hand low at setup and impact in the late 80’s, but it never seemed like the toe was in the air at setup as I would expect. Do you know if he ever had his lie angles flattened?

Walking into Morad is too much like walking into an ice cream shop and having to choose a favorite flavor.

Hey Kevin. I recently started implementing the morad swing into my game and it’s been working great for me. Im more consistent and my power feels effortless. However, I find myself on the range sometimes shanking the golf ball. You think it could be related to set up, or am I just not hitting all the positions correctly? Love to hear your thoughts.

interesting seeing mac hitting it lefty and tiger hitting it tee ball style, i always wanted to try that.

this is around the time i really got serious about the study of golf and at the time none of the teachers in books were really talking or teaching the body pivot action, they would vaguely just say turn. i did mostly slashing at the ball with my hands and arms and finally figured out the pivot only a few years ago on my own and with help from youtube.

i watched mac's swing a bunch of times at different speeds and kind of ingrained his movements into my action by mimicry and it has helped me.

mac does not seem to not turn his hips much but big shoulder turn.

it's like the other guys are seeking mac out for advice.

Thank you Kevin for these videos! Referencing Tommy Fleetwood..he says he starts downswing with his left hip going straight back. Does that conflict with earlier Morad? Seems like a good way to stay in posture. -C ruclips.net/video/Kh50UfMS_Qc/видео.htmlsi=VI1JpxJpwDRWi7Jg

Always enjoy your examples Kevin,very informative. Your interview was also engaging. For my understanding the difference is the emphasis of the "Flying Wedges" - which is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging. Would appreciate your slant on this

Nice episode Kevin. I also was a fan of old MORAD. When I see you swing however displaying both forms your interpretation of the new MORAD looks best to me and actually closer to the Original methodology.

I find your golf course, and its "less manicured" essence, extremely beatiful. It's a tribute to golf in its origins and to the pioneers of golf course design.

49:29 - not so easy on the brain I’ll stick with 2 turns and a swish Mahalo

Glad to see another installment of G.i.t.C! Very much enjoyed the interview!

Is MAC still doing clinics?

Oh shoot you are the KMR school of gold pro from Koolau! Just watched the adventures in golf episode a few days ago. Great stuff!

You can certainly see the passion Mac has for golf. It’s infectious! Thanks, Kevin for putting these together. This is pure gold!

You are an awesome teacher Kevin Ralbovsky... You go beyond Mac and Homer. So many of their ideas I had read without understanding them properly. You "enlighten" so much complex stuff... I would love to be able to visit and take some lessons from you, without my wife threatening with divorce...

谢谢！

Mac O’Grady….grandfather to the modern golf swing…..brilliant dude

To do what Mac says, you can't take the club up , with.your hands arms or shoulders. You take it back with the traps and then relax the traps at transition, keeping your arms and shoulders tension free. 25:56 Pure dead arm swinging protocal folks 😊

Basically, isn't the difference between CF and CP "Hitting" vs "Swinging" ?

There is a story of why David Leadbetter started teaching M.O.R.A.D. theory. It should have been Mac and Faldo.

Ty Kevin

Pure gold! Thanks, Kevin! This is awesome!

Tommy Armour advocated the same.

That story he is telling them about Robert Wrenn - wining the Buick Open - 26 under - I was there following Mac that week . He was at around his prime at that time - he could hit just about any shot he wanted - all he was really doing was talking swing theories - still pissed at Beaman

Kevin, do you know if there’s any video of Dave Stockton talking about his time with Mac? It’d be interesting to hear his thoughts now almost 40 years later.

Very good

I thought in the 80’s Mac wanted the club parallel at P4 and no flat wrist?

It’s pretty impressive what he say at 4:30ish. He basically nails Tiger Woods a few years before he got big

Do you find that having this setup would cause the club to lie a lot more upright? I feel like I need to adjust my clubs a couple degrees flat with my hands closer and lower to the ground.

Your commentaries before the videos are always so insightful.

Great stuff Kevin! Thanks for posting This was before he got into the “long arcing” stuff correct?
