Unmanipulated Golf – the Holy Grail?
If you know how to generate and accelerate power effortlessly, you’re on the verge of playing unmanipulated golf.
One of the biggest advantages is developing a natural stock shot—an outcome of your inner driving intentions within the swing arc, combined with your unique strength and physical traits. I’m 180 cm and naturally stronger on my trail side, which gives me a stock push draw—an unmanipulated push draw.
Another really nice benefit is that you need to train less. Since you’re actually not offsetting any underlying swing fault but just performing your natural motion you have less to compensate for. Does this mean that you will shoot 65 every round. Of course not but it gives you a better chance of becoming consistent.
Swing Inside Out or Inside In?
A point of being unmanipulated is that you don’t actively think about path into the ball or out of the ball. Your natural swing plane and path are just the outcome of your intentions in the swing arc. At least in this style of motion.
Swinging inside out as a counter to coming over the top is, in my opinion, just a symptom treatment and doesn’t go to the root cause of the movement. It’s a manipulation of the task that you’ve given yourself. Maybe the way that you see your golf swing is more of the root problem?
The FMM swing is how I can play unmanipulated golf and it’s the outcome of a 10 year long research study in how the old greats did it.
