How do you produce powerful, controlled golf swings without using injury-inducing body angles? How can a golf swing be so simple that you could hit the ball blindfolded?

A good golfer is often referred to as talented. Not really. We just figured it out. I teach talent.

Forgotten Master Moves is a research project I started in 2016, which has led to my ability to teach the Base Level FMM Swing. It has led me to the following core conclusions:

• The observation is deceiving. What you see isn’t what someone else is actually doing. When you look at my swing, it looks like I’m rotating and hitting the golf ball. Guess what—I’m doing something completely different from what your eyes perceive. My intentions are focused on the core elements that create this appearance.
• Simplified Abstract Intentional Concepts should take care of all the technical and mechanical components of your golf swing. Intentions are the brain’s coordinates that allow you to influence your current swing state. They are the door openers to swing change and great golf.
  • Example: You should never have to think about swing planes, shallowing, or specific body parts during the downswing; instead, your abstract striking intention should take care of it.
• Most of the power in golf is created before the ball, not after it. Sure, it may look like it happens afterward, but the intentions take place well before the ball is struck.
• The body can be reactive, so you never have to think about it. After the backswing, I “have no body”—it just reacts.
• Base before Master-Level. Everyone tries to teach the pinnacle of golf swings—the final layer of the masters. Guess what: they built a solid base-level swing before adding the small quirks that made them absolute master winners. Their base alone is good enough for a +5 handicap. Sounds alright to you?

In the research, it quickly became clear that the best swings of all time happened in the 1940s to 1960s—and after that, it’s basically been downhill. I’m not going to get into the reasons, but let’s put it this way: if 23-year-old tour players are leaving their careers because of back injuries, something must have gone terribly wrong, right?

The Golfing Machine answers the question: “What is a golf swing?” I ask and answer a different question: “Which core intentions were used in the 1940s–60s to produce the amazing motions of players like Snead, Hogan, Thompson, and a young Nicklaus?”

On April 29th, 2025, I laid down the final brick for my Base Level FMM Swing, completely inspired by the old greats—not just what and how they did it, but more importantly, HOW YOU CAN LEARN IT.

I teach how to fundamentally strike a golf ball with power and control—how to perform a solid backswing and which power intentions are used not only to compress the golf ball but also to create a reactive, high-functioning body.

There are roughly six swing-defining characteristics that make the old greats’ golf swings possible. Some relate to the setup, some to the backswing, and—most importantly—two of them are about the strike. I call these the Forgotten Master Moves.

This is, in my opinion, as close as you can get to the holy grail of golf—at least if you’re into the swings of the old greats from the 1940s to 1960s.

You need to understand the technical mechanics on a theoretical level, but that’s all their role is.

In the actual golf swing, you only utilize abstract intention concepts that take care of the technical parts of your swing.

The backswing involves some mechanics, but the strike has none. It’s entirely intention-based, and your body becomes reactive to these VERY POTENT intentions.

• Step 1 – Free Evaulation – We start with a joint meeting to see if we’re a good fit. You send over some swing videos, and we talk.
• Step 2 – Theoretical Base Knowledge – You watch 30 short videos about what the Base Level FMM Swing is all about. This will eliminate your insecurities and put you in the driver’s seat.
• Step 3 – Training Phase – Let’s use the Forgotten Master Moves. You’ll go through 3 crystal-clear change steps with 16 specific videos. You learn a perfect non-stuck backswing and after that, it’s all about learning the strike by using the intentions of the old greats—abstract, simple, intentional concepts.

• Evaluation and Starting Meeting is Free.
• The Base Level Swing is $399, and you get 1 hour of effective feedback time with me. However, you’ll likely only need 30 effective minutes.
• By the way, you’ll need to sign an NDA because this is the real deal.

I teach once—that’s it. You get all the knowledge and become your own coach. (Of course, I’m available for feedback and consultation if you need it.)

  When you use the swing arc as your engine shot shaping becomes simple and enjoyable.

• 

  Being centered and effortless is the outcome of actually dancing around on your feet. 

  If you follow the natural movement it becomes a more effortless feel.

• 

  What’s the engine of a golf swing? What truly drives it? The answer depends on the swing system you follow. In the FMM Swing—rooted in the timeless motion of the old greats—the engine is a combination of the club, hands, and arms, along with the intentional tasks you give them.

• 

  If you know how to generate and accelerate power effortlessly, you’re on the verge of playing unmanipulated golf. This style of swing requires less training and allows you to focus more on playing.

• 

  You don’t need to manipulate the golf swing. By relying on the swing arc for power, you can bypass many difficult and unnecessary moves. The transition should be as effortless as possible, especially since it happens in a part of the swing that’s hard to consciously control. The greats of the past figured this out long ago.

• 

  There are many different swing styles, but the classic golf swing was built around one key principle—utilizing the swing arc. Over the last ten years, I’ve studied what the greats did and how they did it. Through the FMM swing, I teach the inner driving components of the swing arc, which comes with a major advantage: It creates automatic, synchronized body rotation in the golf swing.

• 

  I prefer to play golf with an abstract feel. Being too mechanical and overly internalized makes both the game and performance suffer. Most importantly, it takes you out of the moment and makes you less of a player.

• 

  Effortless power is incredible to achieve, but effortless playable power is even better. Playability means finding the perfect balance between power and control. The great golfers of the past mastered the swing arc to generate early power and accelerate the club through precise mechanics. But how do you accelerate a circle? You act towards the center.

• 

  If you’re into golf technique, you’ve probably heard the term “golf system” more than once. The FMM Swing System is heavily influenced by the swings of legends like Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Nicklaus, and Watson. At its core, it’s about training your swing with the simplest possible intentions to achieve complete club connection—just like the greats did.

• 

  If you understand how to generate and accelerate power while also being aware of clubface closure, you unlock true control in golf. This is the best feeling, no matter which swing system you follow.

• 

  When you use the swing arc as your main power source you are active from the top backswing position all the way until the end of the follow through.

• 

  Training the two intentions that I teach puts you in direct contact with the dynamic energy in the golf club.

• 

  If you actually allow your club to overtake your hands you help out to release centrifugal force. This is a pillar of what the old greats did and creates effortless power.
