Sway to one side. . .sway back. . .swat the ball. Logic screams at us that something is wrong. . .right?

Stand over the ball. . .lift the club into position. . .strike down at the ball. . .THWACK! That’s it. . .including the sound effects. In every sport. . .we see sports physiologists contributing new ideas about how to throw a baseball. . .a football. . .a shot put. . .you name it. Runners go to these clinics and practice new techniques. . .and in every case. . .people are getting better results by bringing their motions into harmony with the way the body is designed.
We bend at the waist. We rotate. . .but not too much. We can twist our arms. . .but not too far.

The sneakers grabs the floor and won’t yield while the player is trying to pivot and something has to give. Ankles. . .knees. . .hip flexors. . .shoulders. . .all take a beating and too often cause a player to miss games.
I began developing the MONGOOSE GOLF SWING years ago. . .about 15 to be exact. I shot most of my tutorial in Palm Springs. I spent too much producing it. Way too much. I’ve never gotten my money back selling first VHS copies. . .now DVDs. But at the time. . .and I still hold strongly to this belief. . .I thought I’d made the most remarkable breakthrough in the history of the golf swing.
