Mike Austin

Rappel du premier message :

J'ai regardé (enfin!!!) le DVD et :

J'aime bien l'idée du club toujours en mouvement par contre l'idée du double pivot bah je trouve ça moyen surtout quand on joue pas souvent !!!

Yes remember I said I hit a 3 wood 300 and driver around 340 with a smooth swing

Do you speak in yards or meters?
(300y = 274 m)

(and US$ or € ?)

Yes, the compound pivot after a waggle and forward press ensures the club goes back smoothly. This is a low maintenance swing.

And I am talking about yards for now. Meters soon as I continue to refine my technique closer to Mike Austin's! Razz

Here is my latest swing video.

It is always a work in progress!

Steve Pratt, as tu une vue de profil de ton swing et un extrait en pleine vitesse ?

I will post an HD normal speed swing soon! Those others are shot at 210 frames per second and are good for analysis!

Why not to start your swing with a little more opened left foot, so you don't have to move it to the target during the transition.
Very nice timing of shoulders and hips motion. Great swing !

Qu'est-ce qui fait tourner son pied gauche vers l'extérieur, en fin de BS? Est-ce volontaire?
Cela me paraît, en tous cas, anti-naturel. Mike Austin - Page 2 Minor

No I do not advocate moving one's foot in the middle of the backswing. Yes it would be logical to start with my foot more open. I am not even aware that I do it! It is just one of those little idiosyncracies that we all have!

It in no way affects my hitting, and it does prove that I have arrived completely on a right foot balance at that moment.

It is almost like I am stepping into a pitch like a baseball player - like a miniature Happy Gilmore move! Very Happy

Son swing avec un wedge mais on attend la prochaine vidéo avec un driver:

100 y avec un wedge, ce ne me paraît pas exceptionnel (je ne suis pas une référence...).

Cela me conforte dans l'idée que le swing de MA doit permettre de gagner pas mal de distance avec le driver, vraisemblablement avec les bois mais pas nécessairement avec les fers (variation frappe ascendante et frappe descendante).

par Invité Mar 3 Aoû 2010 - 16:14

Seconde réflexion:

Je viens de revisionner le DVD Austin/Dunneway.
Dans la courte partie où MA est en tenue "squelette", il montre un geste à une seule main (D) qui correspond tout-à-fait à ce que nous montre Shawn Clement dans la vidéo postée par Réa sous le titre "Tellement simple".

Il me semble que ceux qui frappent loin sont longs avec tous les clubs. Ce qui ne serait pas surprenant car si la vitesse du swing est plus rapide, la balle doit bien aller plus loin, peu importe le club.

Donc, ce coup de wedge à 100 v... euh, yards, ce n'est sûrement pas la distance maximale qu'il peut faire. Je fais 110 m avec un wedge à 45 degrés et à peine 200 m avec le driver... Donc je suis sûr qu'il peut taper son wedge plus loin.

This is certainly true. I was hitting a 56 degree sand wedge 100 yards there. The Mike Austin technique is very very accurate on part shots and finesse shots. I can hit the 56 up to 130 yards fairly easily - and on target - but can also hit a 9 iron exactly 130 yards with a half swing. A round of golf is not a long drive contest and we must cruise around the course using the simplest shot for the situation. We must control spin and trajectory, and the lie isn't always flat or perfect.

I believe this is the important step towards winning and placing often - Alvaro Quiroz comes to mind, and Bubba Watson, and Hank Kuehne too.

Hi Steve,

Just for my information...
Do you have any qualifications in teaching golf sanctionned by PGA of America?
Have you ever play in a long drive contest ran by LDA other than locals? And what was your results?
There so many Jack Hamm in this world that claims many things they have never accomplished...
Don't take it personal.

par stevepratt Jeu 5 Aoû 2010 - 22:36

hi there!

Let me say I don't blame you at all for being skeptical. The answers are: No, but thinking about it and No, but thinking about it. I am certified by Mike Austin's teaching association. I would learn nothing getting a PGA certification.

But then again I am not claiming to hit as far as LDA finalists. When I pop one I'll go around 340-360 with a 46" driver. When I don't get it all, I'll go 320.

What I CLAIM to be is a good coach, especially of the Mike Austin technique - and additionally I can demonstrate it well and use it to score well too. What claim have I made that you have a problem with? That I can hit a 3 wood 300 yards? Watching my video, does that seem farfetched to you?

And Jack Hamm is in the Guinness Book for a couple of records - that's real. By observation, he is a superb athlete who can swing a golf club very fast. But yes, I would like to see his competition record too - he does make a lot of claims that are sketchy.

Didn't want to be harsh!!! So take it easy...

Just wanted to get more informations on someone that post impressive length...

By the way, Jack Hamm is full of $hit... Anyone can be in the Guiness Book... He claims 6 world LD titles without competing in any event... How can you trust that???

Anyway... That is not the point... Have fun in this forum...

par stevepratt Ven 6 Aoû 2010 - 4:00

hey LD,

No I know you weren't being harsh, and yes we are just having fun in here. A little skepticism is healthy!

Yes I heard Jack Hamm's 6 world titles claim, and I would like to hear when those were. I used Google search to find out and there is no information.

LD did you really hit 403 meters? I would love to see a video of you swinging! Very Happy

Cheers!

That last post I Should Have Stated know you are not Being harsh . It lost something in the translation.

I Wonder What Mike Austin's average driving distance would if ET Be Played On The PGA Tour now.

Everyone hit long and straight today! Mike Austin - Page 2 Dans
