My best live lessons are ten minutes long.

Nine minutes of dialogue. One or two balls hit by the student.

Because what matters in swing development is understanding and athletic execution — knowing what to do and why, in relation to your fit.

I’ve learned what I know in an unconventional way. Not through studying averages or classroom models, but through a decade of deep experimentation with the inner layers of the golf swing.

I kept asking one question: What is it that the player is doing that creates what we see?

The best of the best didn’t do anything complicated. They simplified and focused on what mattered. Then they simplified some more.

Great players do different things, but they share common denominators. Those inner intentions create patterns — and those patterns are highly achievable.

So it all boils down to fit. When it fits your brain, you can actually accomplish what you want.

Power. Consistency.

I love old-school fundamentals because they, when applied in a certain way, build a foundational, powerful golf swing.

Modern instruction is very potent if you already have a functioning motion. Old fundamentals create the functioning motion.

These old gems are mostly explained at a superficial level but are very rarely taught in an achievable manner. This is what the FMM Swing Academy is about: explaining what is never said and making it achievable by focusing on what actually matters.

The most major wins in golf belong to this pattern. Quite possibly the easiest form of a golf swing that still delivers tremendous amounts of power with decent control. This would include anyone from Nicklaus, Weiskopf, Watson, Ballesteros, Stewart, Els, Woods, Scott, McIlroy (early years), and, of course, Scheffler.

The power protocol is fundamentally about stimulating the base pendulum of a golf swing in both the downswing and the follow-through. Understanding how you act here creates the big harmonic motions that we love, but it’s quite different from what you think.

How do some of these players have their arms in the sky, come almost “over the top,” and still deliver almost positive numbers at impact? The shallowness created by the club in the downswing.

Get over on your lead side and release as early as possible. Sounds familiar? It matches up with the power protocol of stimulating (and not breaking) the base pendulum.

It’s the easiest to teach and the easiest to perform, since you get most of the body action completely for free when you assign the swing leadership. If you fit.

What it looks like on Skillest Courses

This is a very simple release motion for golfers who are trail-arm dominant. You’ve been told not to use the downswing, right? Just let the club fall? Well, that fits pretty nicely with some of the backside releaser patterns, but here it’s all about powering that downswing.

This is the realm of players like Craig Stadler and Ian Woosnam; to some extent Colin Montgomerie, probably Nick Price, Lee Westwood, and quite possibly the inner layers of Henrik Stenson’s power. I would also place Mr. O’Grady’s early-’80s swings in this bucket. He came from an over-casting motion and, back in the ’80s, taught something very similar.

They’ve built their entire careers on trail-arm usage.

And the cool statement from Ian Woosnam — “the release is like hitting the ear of the barley” — perfectly describes the release exit and the adapted layer of blade control that made him a major winner. This statement also aligns with ’80s MORAD early wrist recock.

You have loads of elements of verticality in it, and it makes sense from a brain perspective, since the ball is on the ground, right? But you need space for momentum to make that club work for you.

Your body pattern will be different than the above two, since your power profile is so clearly trail-side dominant. How do you make as much as 80% of your body movement reactive?

This pattern will fit you that love to feel a bit of a hit.

In the base variation, you trap the golf ball in a push-draw pattern. Pretty neat, right?

This is the realm of anyone from Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, George Knudsen, Peter Thompson, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, and many, many more. I’m deep in the works of developing achievable patterns here.

The easy variation is represented by Trevino, Thompson, and Moe Norman. What do they share from a ball-striking perspective? Accuracy. It’s a push-based shot, quite easily accomplished.

Another variation is the beautiful swinging motions of anyone from, e.g., Sam Snead to a more contemporary Fred Couples. It’s about providing tranquility in the downswing so that you can exit in a swinging fashion. It demands more from the player, but if you fit, it’s a thing of beauty.

Then over to the holy grail: Mr. Hogan. Backside entry into the release, accompanied by massive, synchronized body rotation through the ball. Coming from a powerful pre-injury swinging motion and shaping it into a more mechanical masterpiece in the early ’50s. Many Hogan protocols to come. This is, by far, the hardest one, since it needs input values of a great motion and/or a brain that can deal with more moving parts.

Point being — all of them utilize the same backside entry to their pretty late releases.

Aiming to have some protocols ready in Q1 2026. At least the “easy variation.”

Old-school communication leaves out all the goodness, and modern instruction overcomplicates the swing into oblivion.

FMM bridges the gap.

INNER LAYER WORK – CHANGES THAT STICKS

Normal fault-search mode with slow-motion video analysis only brushes the surface, and that’s why changing small surface details never really sticks or converts to the course. It’s the wrong layer — like painting over the rust on your car.

Act in the correct inner layer and anyone can change.

I favor old movement fundamentals because they are accessible through simple brain tasks — simple intentions. I instruct the brain task behind the desired behavior, not the behavior itself.

The point is that we only have so much brain space and IF you understand the leadership in the swing together with a positive perception you can start performing golf swings with one feel.

Inner Working in an Onion Layer Chart

Swing change starts from within. That’s why the solution for over-the-top isn’t in-to-out. You need to change your perception.

Most coaching is performed in the outer layer and that’s very potent IF you’ve already got a great motion.

A PATTERN = Your way back

You’ve got that sweet-spot feeling in your swing and you’re just killing it on the course.

For a while.

Then it leaves you, and you’re in no man’s land, not understanding what to do. You search for the fault and are exposed to superficial fixes that are 1) not addressing the root cause, and 2) often based on completely different swing styles.

It’s really hard not to take someone else’s medicine and to actually understand what to do. That’s why you need a reference pattern that provides clarity in how you create power, control, and a fully functioning motion for your swing fit. You need to understand why you miss and what to do about it.

A golf pattern isn’t only about how you build a great motion; it also creates a pathway back when you run cold.

Light & Advanced Tiers – affordable & Specific

Light Versions are for you that don’t wish to go to deep and maybe just test it out. I price it as low as possible.

Advanced Versions are deeper explanations and also what the patterns can do with shot shaping etc. A far superior product but it also demands more attention and studies from you. (Start with the light version

And thank you all for the kind words!

Petter always provides excellent feedback that is spot on. With his vast knowledge of various styles and methods of power generation, he easily dissects ones swing, identifies the areas that are helpful and the ones that need work, provides alternate methods of approach while always being encouraging and uplifting. He is a fathomless resource.

Firstly, Petter is just a great human being! You can sense his genuine love of the game and passion for teaching when you speak with him. His ability to convey complex concepts in a couple of minutes that other instructors would draw out in a 30 minute YT video is a refreshing change. Im a golf nerd and have watched more hours of golf instruction than I care to admit. Petters concise explanations provide so much in only a few words. I think this speaks to the simplicity of the style he promotes. Best of all, the first time you put together his concepts correctly and see the ball fly through the air with a flight and sound you typically only see on TV, youll be hooked.

Ive been an over the top swinger for 10 years. At first I wasnt sure I understood what Petter was talking about. But after a few days of watching his videos and hitting the range it started to make sense. Im hitting pure shots now, and if I miss I actually understand WHY thanks to Petters videos, and can easily correct. He is a phenomenal teacher. Book him now!

The most thorough coach I have ever spoke to! Very kind and full of wisdom. Greatly appreciate him laying out my options.

Incredible coach. What a wealth of information! I am smashing the ball now by default because of my swing change with Petter.

Amazing lesson as always. I always take away an incredible insight of my game. Thank you for everything.!

Peter helped me overcome my over-the-top swing and understand how to generate real power in the golf swing. I started golfing later in life and didnt truly understand how to use the club to create power efficiently. The FMM system has been an invaluable resourceits designed in a logical progression that helps beginners learn the fundamentals of the golf swing, while also offering advanced insights for players aiming to reach scratch or better. Peter is an excellent communicator and motivator. Hes incredibly patient and always goes out of his way to explain concepts clearly. He has often created customised videos to help me better understand certain ideas. I still have work to do, but with the FMM system, I finally feel like I have a blueprint to reach my goals. Overall, Im very happy with our collaboration, and I believe other players in a similar position will benefit from Peters coaching as well. Book a consultation session with Petter and youll know exactly what I mean.

I come from a long period of injury where my golf swing was forced into certain patterns. Petter made me understand how to use the forces in the club for a much more effortless motion with sustained and actually increased power. I truly appreciate our dialogue and the possibility to learn through the information material. I now have an understanding of the impact area and feel much more secure in my game. I actually felt like this in the early 90s but somewhere I forgot how to swing naturally. My game has already improved a lot and I’m really pleased with the entire process. Thank you! Stefan

Ive been working with Petter for a while now, and I can honestly say hes the best golf coach Ive ever had. Not only is he a highly skilled golfer himself, but he also brings a fantastic personality to every lesson. Hes approachable, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about helping me improve. What really sets Petter apart is his ability to communicate in a way that just makes sense. He spots issues in my swing that other golf coaches have missed and addresses them with a straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense approach that I truly appreciate. Theres no fluff just clear, easy-to-follow advice and practical drills that deliver real results. Petters FMM video series has been a game-changer for me. Its well-structured, easy to follow, and packed with valuable insights. Even better, his FMM system is gentle on my body because it doesnt require me to get into awkward or extreme positions that only elite athletes can manage. I highly recommend the video series to anyone serious about improving their golf game. If youre looking for a coach who truly knows his stuff, communicates clearly, and delivers results, Petter is your guy.

He sees more and explains it better than just about anyone I know — and I am a golf coach myself

I’ve read basically every bit of golf information on the internet and this is the first time it makes sense to me. The absolute difference between seeing and doing was the ticket. The intentions I play golf with are directly connected to the club. This is non mechanical world class teaching and I’m very happy that I’ve started with it. I’m 70+, very physically fit and hit my 5 iron 200 yards right now. FMM unlocked my power and understanding. This is great Petter.

Best instruction ever, after decades of trying this golf game.

Very clear diagnosis and instruction to fix the bad swing habits and thoughts. Petter is great!

Fantastic! found the feeling of the holy grail! No effort swing and plenty of distance! Petter is great!

If you are tired of trying to hit mechanical positions and fit into swing molds that don’t feel natural to you, Petter is your guy. He will find abstract intentions that build upon your natural swing tendencies. He is knowledgable on the swing, but more importantly how to work and communicate with other human beings.

Podcast participation – FlagHunters

Justin Tang and Jesse Perryman were kind enough to have me on their show, Flaghunters Golf Pod. Quite a humbling experience, since coaches like Mike Malaska, Jim Hardy, Sean Foley (coaching Tiger for a stretch), Bradley Hughes, Pia Nilsson, Gabriel Hjertstedt and many more have frequented the discussion over the years.

A big thank you to Justin and Jesse for the possibilty to spread my vision and philosophy of the golf swing. You find the episode here: Spotify – Apple

In relation to the FMM Academy Justin mentions performing the Trail Power Hitter pattern and makes it happen within 10 balls. Of course, he is an absolute swing change pro but it was fun to hear.

Milestones & Conclusions 2014-2025 (Click year to open)
  • Entry point into the project – find a swing that works for sub-par scoring. I came from a two-way miss and shooting 73-90 without any form of consistency.
  • First trial: Narrow-stance, less-mobility swing = scoring 75–77 without hiccups. “Boring golf” mode.
  • Second trial: Delay the release through active ground work, hand manipulation, and intentional rotation. Success. Took 6 months and 30,000 balls to accomplish. Shooting 72-78 alot but with more power and more compression.

Beating par on a regular basis (with a weak short game). Taking one side out of the equation makes golf easier. In my case, it was about eradicating the snap-hook miss. The delayed release swing was developed and grinded into something that I could trust. Injuries started as well though….

  • Started as Instructor/Coach with high engagement and commitment. Very pleased with the results, but I knew less than I wanted.
  • “Over the Top” (90% of golf lessons) doesn’t come from an open blade or standard instruction. It comes from the task we form in our heads. Reach the inner layer, and change happens.
  • Too much target linearity leads to body-position issues. Injuries occur when you manipulate too much.
  • Instruction needs absolute personality adaptation to work. Advanced mechanical swing thoughts (like what I had done to myself at this point) don’t work for minds that are wired differently. Having one mold for all will never work.
  • Only the students who take complete ownership truly succeed.
  • There’s more than one model for a golf swing. Roughly 3–4 different swing models are used, but described very differently.
  • The old school swing style was uncovered in a couple of vague variations. Not even close to being understood though…
  • The more push based swing was less than understood but could see it.
  • The baseball sling shot motion is something quite unique and using different power mechnisms that most other motions.
  • Started PGA education properly. Met amazing people, but it wasn’t the path I wanted. Left it to pursue my new task: what is a high-functioning, achievable golf swing, and how can I teach its inner layers?
  • Results with students massively improved when I could enter swing thought territory. Could get pretty much anyone to unleash their potential in the studio but outside it? Moderate results.
  • Major insight? Knowledge is needed for true ownership.
  • Own golf? Producing amazing results and at the same time injuring myself over and over again. Lowest score 64 with 9 birdies.
  • Left on site coaching to improve my skills. Thought 2 years max. Took 7…… Contineously working with students in a tighter circle for more frequent communicaiton of feels and progression. “Test Group” formed.
  • Swing studies bonanza in combination with swing change trial and error. 5 major swing changes in one year to refine and understand the process. This is what I need to understand to be the best coach I can be. I need to understand it from the student’s perspective.
  • Change 1 – Advanced Ball Striking with the old school Hogan inspired motion. Achievability difficulty? 2/10. All in drill form which is a cool and very efficient solution. Key success factor? Drilling like crazy and tying my feelings to some kind of execution layer. Course abilities? Pretty darn good to be honest. I liked it but it also felt like I left alot out there when it came to power. My 117-118 mph clubhead speed had gone down to 106-108 and I couldn’t really perform the shallowing as much as needed no matter how much I drilled. If I wasn’t on a mission of my own I might have just sticked with this. Likely one of the best instructions in golf but I didn’t enjoy the game as much as before.
  • Change 2 – Perform the baseball style motion with a massive transition move. Achievability difficulty for me? 10/10. Key success factor? Thinking about the golf swing as three big tempos. Course abilities? Very limited. Just not a fit with my golf swing personality.
  • Change 3 – Jump into the MORAD world with Stack N Tilt. Liking the systemification of it. Limited power and some injury inducing components. Achievability difficulty? 5/10. Key Success Factor? The full body extension and less of a hit. Course abilities? Decent but a glitch in my mind with it. My body didn’t want to do it, I had to force it.
  • Change 4 – MORAD interpretations and continued work with the 80s motion. Much more free motion and a controlled feel. Achievability difficulty? 3/10. Key Success Factor? Time and space for the trail arm extension and less of a hit. More of a passive centrifugal force stimulation. Course abilities? Could never get rid of the mechanical shackles unfortunately. The geometrical idea didn’t translate into my comfort demands of a golf swing.
  • Change 5 – Moe Norman style golf swing. Too unnatural to me. Also quite injury inducing with the “hit 4 golf balls in front of the ball”. Achievability difficulty? 3/10. Key Success Factors? The distance from the ball. Course abilities? Decent.
  • This was two years of massive discovery and understanding but still not answering the questions I asked in 2018. ABS was closest to answering it though. MORAD 86 2nd place from my very personal experience of this.
  • Starting to use mechanical understanding with the absolute task of simplifying the motion as much as possible. Starting to develop “my own swing system”.
  • Core swing principles were formed for the Project. The project core principles of my future golf swing system became (and still are):
    • a Non-Injury-Inducing golf swing
    • both Power & Control
    • Achievability
  • I started using the methodology I’ve brought with me from the corporate world (sales mgmt, project mgmt, business development etc). Clear structure and key success factors needs to lead the way for this massive agile project.
  • Key success factors for a student’s succes?
    • Answer the WHY = Developed the Knowledge-First Approach instead of K.I.S.S. 99% of my most successful students shared one trait: they wanted to know how it works first. Intellectual understanding leads to mechanical acceptance.
    • Encourage OWNERSHIP.
  • From a swing technique perspective heavy dialogue with fellow coach Per Källfelt. Our joint coin drop “The observation is deceiving” led the way in initial studies. What I see isn’t what you do also used as key word. Or put in a much simpler way – What’s actually behind great motions.
  • The inner layer of golf swings starting to clarify. A body can react to much simpler brain tasks. The P-system abandoned from a technical teaching perspective.
  • It became clear that simple intentions can create advanced mechanics. But what are they?
  • The modern instruction wasn’t cutting it for me. Deep mechanical instruction without catering to personalities or the mind’s abilities limits the scope of teaching. It makes it teachable only to the “talented” one. Let’s put it another way. A mechanical mind fits with mechanical instruction? Problem with that? Only 1-2/10 have that wiring.
  • The more old school the better in the performance but still not there.
  • Massive studies of old school swings followed. Questions: How does it differ from modern? How did they strike a balata ball with such distance and accuracy 50 years ago when today’s average golfer barely hits the range? How can this help me to take a 10hcp player to scratch?
  • What are the road blocks? The shut face in the backswing, the delayed release, the non stimulation of centrifugal force. This was in complete contrast to all the old school statements.
  • Discovered that Bobby Jones, Snead, Nicklaus, and Watson did things slightly differently than Hogan, Player, Trevino, and Thompson. Began studying hand-, eye-, and swing-dominance zones—completely uncharted terrain (to my knowledge) from a clarity perspective.
  • Colin Montgomery, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Payne Stewart harnessed some parts of the Nicklaus and Watson motions in a slightly more modern setting.
  • The biggest problem in golf is downswing ability. Standard “shallowing instruction” doesn’t work for 90% of golfers because of mental barriers. How can you create shallow and inside striking with a simple downswing intention?
  • Starting to digging in simple brain intentional concepts. How can I take mechanics and make them a byproduct of simpler brain tasks. 5-6 different intentions starting to form. Still not sure what they were but one thing was clear – this led to achievability.
  • If the club, hands and arms drives the golf swing then you can actually perform a much more advanced motion than if you think body first. Achievability just became much more available.
  • The concept of the black zone of the mind starting to develop = some parts of the swing are “unthinkable” and you need to match the instruction to this ability/inability.
  • Went to work with own old school exploration:
    • Ben Hogan’s swing style deciphered with pretty decent results. It was too high in the achievability score though. The biggest enigma in golf but 95% certain of how to teach it (one variation of master level in early 2026).
    • Trevino, Thompson, Player etc studies and implementations.
    • Nicklaus and Watson focus with great results. Their swing arc usage was maybe the most achievable of it all. Old sayings and quotes deciphered and (kind of) understood.
  • Refining intentions and understanding their variations. Taking 5-6 major intentions and making them into 1 downswing and 1 follow through intention. Joint it would create a simplified feel.
  • The old school mechanics with swing arc usage, club rotation, centrifugal & centripetal force interplay and how the abstract intentions leading to a reactive body starting to be more clarified.
  • Simplification efforts in what to say and what NOT to say. What’s not needed in golf instruction (in my opinion) clarified.
  • The golf swing just became achievable and started ginny pig testing. My own results just came naturally and started shooting under par straight of the bat (without injuries and adequate power). Test students having amazing results but my way of communicating needed improvement.
  • The fundamentals of the backswing started to be understood. What’s behind the scenes and the Tiger 00 swing led the way.
  • Creating the first version of the Knowledge First Approach – 10 theoretical concepts in book form. 90 quite unreadable pages.
  • Creating the first unoffical teaching version of the FMM Swing.
  • Understanding how one handed motions and grip pressure influence mechanics and how it can build passive swing skill.
  • Understanding how swing dominance zones can be very influencial for teaching.
  • A hybrid of drills and “thinkable” swing change starting to form.
  • The understanding that what we see in all top golf is the final layer of an already high funtioning engine. You need to develop your swing arc first and then add the layer of the greats. The base level tool box idea starting to form.
  • Myself I could break par with a completely reactive body and my ginny pigs were showing great results with a very simple motion.
  • Unofficial version 2,3 & 4 done and now pretty much good enough for the first official version.
  • Launched in Q4 2024. 3 students and all had great succes but the communication wasn’t good enough. The theoretical Knowledge First concept was still in book form but the Swing Change part was pure video. How to make the coin drops happen more efficiently and how to improve the teachings.
  • Version 2 was basically a decent explanation of the Swing Arc User entry into the FMM universe. 10 students and 7/10 succes rate.
  • The student needed too much “skill” to be able to perform it properly.
  • Clarification needed in communication and messaging. Much better than unofficial versions but still not there.
  • Clarification in how you match instruction to student personality needed both from mechanical and intentional perspective. The thought of 2 entries into old school golf starting to form.
    • The Power Hitter & the Swing Arc User.
  • Swing Arc User still needing some understandings from a communicative perspective since it involves more of “what you can’t see”.
  • Youtube channel launched with kind of unclear videos. Becoming gradually better at communicating but still novice at the whole social media space….
  • Version 3 created in late April 2025.
  • The Power Hitter route was discovered with a refininement of a very potent active downswing intentions. This style creates most power before the golf ball.
  • This opened the pathway for taking a 10 handicapper to scratch. An active downswing intention utilizing a space for momentum would ignite almost any engine.
  • Blade Control starting to be better understood and it’s relationship to the Follow Through clarifying. Ian Woosnam’s Wheat of the Shaft starting to make more and more sense.
  • The understanding of a downswing engine ignition being the biggest problem in golf (because of a shut blade in the backswing) starting to clarify.
  • The athletic low point, spine angles and ahtletic response starting to become clear.
  • 40 new students and success rate going through the roof.
  • The Knowledge First material starting to deliver but still work to be done. Almost at a satisfactory level.
  • Version 4 launched in early September 2025. This is the first version where I feel it’s fulfilling my demands and actually answering the questions in 2018. What’s a highly functional golf swing and how can I teach it?
  • 65 Knowledge First Videos in 15 ish theoretical concepts. Actually answering the WHY of swing technique on an adequate level.
  • Both Power Hitter and Swing Arc User entry into old school golf
  • 150 videos total in shorter format on a better technical solution.
  • The Execution Layer added to simplify intentions into a much simpler course swing.
  • Version 5 reworked in professional setting with all trackman numbers etc.
  • Knowledge adapted to each pattern for bigger clarity.
  • The release complexity starting to make sense. Frontside, backside, early, late.
  • Inner intentions of Trevino, Thompson, Snead, Couples etc starting to shape.
  • A pathway towards Hogan becoming clearer.
  • Light Versions & Advanced Version available on Skillset and Youtube.
  • Going deeper in development of add on courses for all existing patterns.
  • Quickly gaining ground to explain other swing models as well. All in an achievable manner.
