Many have asked how Mike Austin started the backswing. Here’s how:
Remember, when you took the proper stance, the trailing leg was flexed. The trailing leg now goes into extension, meaning it straightens.
For right handers, the right hip gets a bump to 4 0’clock.
The arms begin to move because the body begins to move.
The arms do not swing independently!

Mentored By The Legend - Mike Austin 
Great Website. What a goldmine to have the chance to learn from someone who had actual lessons from the Great Mentor. I am looking forward to anything and everything that you will be sharing with us measly golfers.
Dr. Smith: So glad you are enjoying the blog and thanks for the kind words. It’s awfully satisfying to see how many Mike Austin fans are out there. I think Mike would be very proud.
I agree …….. this is very useful information for those confused by others claiming to teach the MA method. This instruction is from the man himself and mimics the Austinology series w/ Mike Dunaway. It is science based (physics/kinesiology)which is what attracted me to Mike in the first place. Keep the videos coming!
