As a person of 1.90 m height (6'3") I was attracted to Brad's teachings after watching and listening to Brendan Todd and his swing story. Brad was more than helpful for someone like me; brought some joy back into my game. As a decent player that lost it (completely) I'm now playing ok again. Brad has been instrumental in helping me enjoy my golf.
Just my experience. After years of being in the golfing wilderness with different instructors, I had a lesson with this humble genius in his native country, Australia. This is absolute gold. My second lesson was on what happens after impact. Straighter and longer was the result. The other thing, seldom spoken about these days, is that the ball flight became more penetrating with a better landing. I strongly recommend anyone in that predicament to have a lesson with him. Practice his drills daily and find the joy in golf again like I did. Amazing
You can post that on every golf swing lesson video and you would never be wrong. The only problem is, only 1 percent of the people reading it would now what you are talking about.😁
Fascinating how Mac O’Grady dramatically changed his teaching methodology away from the 1986/87 MORAD model. I don’t get why he did that considering he won twice on tour during that time and finished T7 in the 1987 US Open. I wish Mac were not so much a recluse these days and was more public about his swing theories. Fascinating stuff.
The later swing he taught and played was easier on his back than the 80’s heavy rotation based pattern. He blew out his back and also had a degenerative spine disorder
Interesting that Chris never mentions during the discussion about O'grady, that he was also an O'grady student. Chris attended at least 1 MORAD school (in 2006), after approaching Mac in a tournament parking lot when he (Chris) was still a young assistant pro in the LA area.
It all comes back to Mac, all these coaches have a link to what Mac was about ... como takes and applies what works from others as any coach now does - does not make him any different from any coach now... thats why Mac was so ahead of his time...
If you are doing this drill best to use an older heavier club and make the lie angle 3 or 4 degrees flat. Also follow up with Brad's (Golf Aus channel) videos on lie angles for his reasoning on this.
