What’s a big arc golfer?
You see that person with a swing that seems to pull them through the shot.
You see that golfer with harmony, yet loads of power in a flowing motion.
The non-choppy movement all the way to the finish.
Nicklaus, Watson, Weiskopf, Kite, Ballesteros, Norman, Els, early Tiger, Scott, early Rory, and parts of Scheffler.
To name just a few…
who is it for?
You who want a harmonious, flowing golf swing.
You who value effortless speed and power.
You who love a full follow-through.
You who want to understand your complete pattern, including miss explanations and shot- and club-shaping knowledge.
VIDEO ABOUT THE BIG ARC PATTERN
PATTERN KEY PRINCIPLES?
The best players developed speed in their downswing at a young age. It happened away from the target and very early. This is input speed.
Speed in this pattern is taught with an overdraw first so that the early front-side release happens in time.
You feel the energy in the shaft in this pattern, which gives you the ability to stimulate the follow-through for power acceleration.
That’s really it.
And yeah, match it with the Nicklaus/Tiger 1997 grip, posture, and backswing feels.
Then you’re golden.
HOW IT RELATES TO THE GREATS?
Why did Nicklaus say, “I release as early as possible”? Why could Tiger in 1997 be skin and bones yet outdrive the competition by a mile? Why has Scheffler been the most accurate and consistent ball striker for years?
The downswing arc.
All of these players share a fully powered downswing arc. This creates tremendous inside-speed properties.
Let’s say you had Scottie Scheffler’s downswing but not his follow-through. Think about it for a second. Scottie takes care of your backswing and downswing, but you still have your own follow-through. You’d probably be delivering the club 25 degrees from the inside at impact.
The same goes for Tiger.
So what does that mean?
The best players approach from well inside and then apply their power and body rotation in a way that supports it.
And what about Nicklaus? Well, he was taught speed first and accuracy second. He also said that all great golf is played from the inside.
Yet all of these players chose to play a fade when faced with competitive pressure. So is it reasonable to believe that a Big Inside Arc is an absolute requirement for this performance trait?
This is the pattern behind a large portion of golf’s major champions. Nicklaus, Watson, Weiskopf, Miller, Ballesteros, Kite, Els, Woods, Scott, and Scheffler may all look different—but they’re built on a remarkably similar internal engine:
The Big Arc Power Protocol.
HOW DOES IT APPLY TO SWING FAULTS?
Over the top comes from not knowing your power concept. You have a backswing that isn’t good enough, and your power is undefined. Inside the Big Arc Swinger pattern, the “first swoosh” happens away from the target, granting you an inside path and massive input speed. The second swoosh, in the follow-through, is how you accelerate that input speed.
Hooking issues? How you exit the energy and intend the follow-through (alongside a blade opening in the backswing) allows you to turn that powerful swing into something highly functional. All great golfers have “beaten the hook,” but that means they had a hook to start with, right? You may be in line for a golden ticket here.
Early extension? Well, this happens because you have a non-optimal backswing, no downswing space, and likely the wrong balance points (together with a grip-pressure-heavy power protocol). When you perform the Big Arc Swinger protocol, you don’t fix your early extension—you make it a non-issue.
I have over 100 students inside this pattern, and it’s one of my absolute favorites because, most of the time, it’s not a “swing fixer.”
It’s a “swing replacer.”
EDUCATIONAL COURSES = PEACE OF MIND.
I hate it when someone sits on all the knowledge and drip-feeds it like some kind of money leech. Unfortunately, the golf industry is full of that. So let’s do something different, shall we?
I’ve produced all the base knowledge in educational courses. The biggest benefit of going through a course is that you understand how and why things happen. It doesn’t mean you’ll become a pro overnight, but it gives you something real to work on.
In the Big Arc pattern, it starts with power first. How do you get speed into that arc? Then we can build a backswing and a grip to match it. After that, we move into how to adapt it for different clubs and different shot shapes.

STUDENT STORIES
Fraser started golf eight years ago and quickly got down to a 4 handicap. Then something happened, and the search for his old—or perhaps an even better—swing began.
Three years of mechanical prison followed, without any real progress. We started working together and got him back to his old motion—and beyond.
Hone in on your strengths rather than trying to make your weaknesses “okay.” It’s a far better way to develop.
Oskar is a super-motivated junior who got derailed by modern BS coaching. He was the most promising player at his club but got caught in the mechanical net. He almost left the game (!).
Together, we got him back on track. From finding his base power to working toward his inspirations, and finally to building a complete bag with a stock shot for every club.
Score development? From 82–83-ish to a personal best of -2. That’s pretty damn impressive.
William is a natural talent who had somewhat lost his game. The culprit? Not being allowed to do what came naturally to him. Instead, he was taught to follow modern “rules.”
Seriously? He basically has the swing of Phil Mickelson, and you’re supposed to change that? I don’t think so. Let’s harness it instead.
William reacted instantly to the changes and is quickly learning to own his own motion. A big win for him (and for me).
Fabien never had the luxury of learning the game as a kid. Instead, he stepped into all the common pitfalls and eventually quit golf altogether.
After a long, long break, he came back two years ago. We met 4–5 months ago, and at the time he was shooting scores in the 100s.
Now he understands his power and regularly shoots in the low 80s, with scratch firmly set as his future target. Dedication and development that deserve real respect.
Josh is a long-time golfer whose life simply got in the way. When he came back to the game, he suffered so much from back injuries that he could hardly play or practice with any enjoyment.
We started working together, and I’m happy to report that he’s now rediscovered the joy of the game. Not “needing” to chase all the positions has really freed up his swing.
And most importantly: fewer injuries.
Ever heard the expression that the perfect student is a stupid person framed like a barn door?
Meet the opposite. Eduardo started golf later in life after a career in senior positions at several esteemed companies. Too much brain for golf, if you will.
FMM helped Eduardo make sense of the golf jungle, and slowly we’re getting him below 85. A real pleasure to work with!
