Mac O’Grady and the Magic Move of the Greats

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

Recently a bunch of Mac swings were posted on YouTube, and I encourage everyone to check out his action to see how it changed over time.  It was always a great swing, and his ball-striking abilities are legendary.  He is also known for his knowledge of swing mechanics and just about any other subject regarding the game, but his eccentricities have kept him from rising above the cult status that he currently possesses (although I’m sure he could care less).  In this video I take a Mac swing from down the line that demonstrates what I consider to be the optimum way to change direction (right upper arm adduction, right forearm supination, and right shoulder external rotation) and compare it to some of golf’s all-time greats, including Hogan, Snead, and Nelson.
