Adding in the lower back initiating the pull back....sorry about the clip - I did this with my phone set up on a chair.

Once you figure out the lower back - all of the things that we have talked about fall into place....

I tried really hard to follow the way that I believed Bustos took. I remember telling my kid to read "what Bustos coach says here". After a while I couldn't put together a swing with the tidbits of info that leaked out. So, with no clinics near by, and finding out the huge cost it would take to have her do a clinic, I decided to order her dvd. Boy that was fun explaining to the girls that we were taken 3 minutes later when the dvd was over. So I thought for my $30 and this three min dvd...she can help out some other way, a little bit any way. So I emailed her site....twice....no response.
Off on a journey I went to find the truth. Stuck around somewhere else for a while, but then a year or so ago some other posters were saying that guy didn't match a high level swing. I looked a ton at video of the best, and the key, I tried it all out. They were right, he didn't match what I saw and felt.
So on I moved....I knew kind of what I was feeling, didn't really call myself following anyone, even said a few times that I was a lone ranger.
Well...so as I continued to post on here, some experts posted and I knew that what they said was not true. I felt confident enough (because I swing a bat) to call them on it. Then Teacherman showed up here one day and said a whole bunch of things that made sense, and EVERYONE else was left studdering. I went back to check HI out. Saw this guy teaches what I am feeling and seeing, and he is years ahead of me in the journey. Other posters pm me and said "he is so mean"...but I always saw it different...he does the same thing I have been doing, asks people to prove what they are saying is the truth.

So now mts, I, and some others are suggesting "try this" and include that teacherman is the one who taught us. It looks like it makes you guys mad. So maybe say why...tell why you don't like people following his advice. He did a whole blog on how he believes what you, Howard, and Crystl teach does not match up to watch she does when she swings, and he swing matches closer to what he teaches. If you guys don't like him saying that, prove him wrong. You know he will debate you on it. For me it is all about the truth. I don't dislike any of you, just wish I wouldn't have tried so hard to follow that path.

I will admit I was one of the ones that pm'd RHC and probably others and told him I felt like TM probably knew something but I didn't respect anything because of the way he mocked and cut down almost everyone and a lot of people from here. I have since went back and just read some of his blogs which seem to be very informative. I have had people from both sides on this board help me and I'm thankful of all!

Mts,
Thanks for the videos and all your(others all so) help on explaining the SNF. I also like the neat shop and the bald look. We have the same barber.:D

MTS, RHC, FFS, or RDBASS,
Help me understand the purpose of the one leg rotational swing that MTS is demonstrating and what are we trying to teach in doing this?

It is about using stretch and fire to power your swing. The one legged golfer has a lot of power without a front leg. Do I believe you should swing without a front leg? No....but your engine should be the rear side snf. This drill done correctly helps you feel that power source.

Like I said, there's nothing high-level about this swing.

Among other things, notice the slow sweeping of the barrel rather than quick whipping of the barrel.

It's as misguided as the Marshall pitching motion.
