THE FUTURE OF GOLF
GOLF'S ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR
FOR SPEED, WHAT'S THE ONLY CLUBHEAD MOTION THAT CREATES
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE? WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE REPETITIVE MOTION?
IT'S THE ONLY SECRET TO GOLF! LAWS OF MOTION PROVE MECHANICS
IS NOT THE CAUSE OF GOOD AND GREAT GOLF. MECHANIC FIXES GET
EXAGGERATED, THEN YOU NEED A NEW FIX. THIS FACT KEEPS YOU
ON THE EXPERIMENTING MERRY-GO-ROUND FOREVER. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO EXAGGERATE A SWINGING MOTION. WITHOUT A SWINGING MOTION
PRESENT IN THE CLUBHEAD BASIC LAWS OF MOTION PROVE IT'S
SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY GOLFER TO PLAY WELL. WITH A
SWINGING MOTION ANY GOLFER CAN PLAY WELL. FOR DECADES I'VE
SEEN SWINGING THE CLUBHEAD BY FEEL WORK FOR ALL STUDENTS.
THE ICONIC LATE TEACHER ERNEST JONES PUT IT WELL, "MECHANICS
ARE A LONG CIRCUITOUS ROUTE TO GOOD GOLF." MORE THAN A
CENTURY OF SUCCESS PROVES THERE IS A SIMPLER, SOUNDER, SAFER,
AND SELF-CORRECTING WAY TO PLAY GOOD AND GREAT GOLF.
WHAT IS A SWING?
FOR DECADES I'VE ASKED THE ABOVE QUESTION TO NUMEROUS
STUDENTS, TOUR PROS, TEACHERS, AND GOLF MAGAZINE EDITORS.
IRONICALLY, THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER CAME FROM A BEGINNER
STUDENT WHO HAD NEVER HELD A CLUB. THE ENGLISH WORD SWING
IS THE MOST MISUSED WORD IN THE WORLD OF GOLF. THE OXFORD
DICTIONARY DEFINES THE NOUN SWING AS A SWINGING MOVEMENT.
THIS MEANS WITH ALL CLUBS YOU DON'T HAVE A SWING UNLESS YOU
MOVE YOUR CLUBHEAD WITH THE MOVEMENT OR MOTION OF A
SWING -- THE SPECIFIC MOTION OF A CHILD SWINGING ON A SWING.
BASIC LAWS PROVE IT'S THE ROOT CAUSE OF GOOD AND GREAT GOLF.
A SWINGING MOTION IS PRESENT IN THE CLUBHEAD OF EVERY GREAT
PLAYER THAT EVER LIVED!
GOLF IS A GAME OF FEEL
COMPUTERS CAN'T FEEL!
ALL SPORTS PLAYED WELL ARE PLAYED BY FEEL. THE USBGA TOLD ME,
"A BLIND GOLFER SCORED 74 FOR !8 HOLES." A NEVADA COLLEGE PhD
KINESIOLOGY GOLF TEAM STUDY PROVED THAT SWINGING THE CLUB
BY FEEL IS BETTER THAN MECHANICS. NOW, YOU'LL HAVE A SPECIFIC
CLUBHEAD MOTION, WITH A SPECIFIC FEEL, THAT ALWAYS WORKS FOR
ANY SHOT IN GOLF. I TEACH ALL STUDENTS HOW TO GET THAT FEEL,
PRACTICE THE FEEL INDOORS, ON THE RANGE, AND HOW TO GET
THE FEEL BACK WHEN ELUSIVE.
TWO "HUGE" ADVANTAGES OF PLAYING BY FEEL
PLAYING BY FEEL ELIMINATES THE TWO GREATEST OBSTACLES FOR
ALL GOLFERS -- YOUR MIND AND EYES. YOUR MIND GETS YOU
THINKING TOO MUCH. YOUR EYES SEE ALL THE HAZARDS ON THE
COURSE. TOO OFTEN SIGHT HURTS, BUT FEEL ALWAYS HELPS.
ERNEST JONES -- WORLD GOLF TEACHERS HALL OF FAME
TEACHING NO MECHANICS HE MADE GOOD GOLF SIMPLE
FOR 40 YEARS, ERNEST JONES WAS AMERICA'S FOREMOST AND MOST
SUCCESSFUL TEACHER. JONES UNMATCHED TEACHING RECORD WITH
BEGINNERS TO MORE THAN 20 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS PROVED
TO PLAY GOOD AND GREAT GOLF YOU ONLY HAD TO LEARN TO SWING
THE CLUBHEAD. MOVE THE CLUBHEAD WITH A SWINGING MOTION BY
FEEL AND YOUR DONE. WITH ALL CLUBS BASIC LAWS OF MOTION
GUARANTEE YOU'LL HAVE GOOD AND GREAT SHOTS. JONES SAID,
"HOW MANY THINGS CAN YOU THINK OF AT ONCE?" ERNEST COINED
THE PHRASE, "ANALYSIS iS PARALYSIS." MY UNIQUE BACKGROUND (IN
MY STORY) MAKES ME THE LAST LIVING "PURE" TEACHER OF THE
PRINCIPLE THE BRILLIANT JONES TAUGHT. JONES SAID, "YOU MUST
TEACH IT PURE." I TELL ALL STUDENTS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. WITH ALL
CLUBS, MAKE THE WEIGHT OF THE CLUBHEAD SWING BY FEEL AND
YOUR DONE. LAWS OF MOTION DON'T LIE!
THE BIZARRE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MECHANIC INSTRUCTION
WHY A PRINCIPLE GIVES YOU A HUGE ADVANTAGE
IF THE MECHANIC FIX WORKS BASIC LAWS OF MOTION PROVE THE
CLUBHEAD IS SWINGING AND THE GOLFER DOESN'T KNOW IT. THE
GOLFER THEN EXAGGERATES THE MECHANIC FIX AND NEEDS A NEW
FIX. NOW, YOU KNOW WHY TOUR PLAYERS FALL OFF THE CHARTS,
AND MILLIONS OF RECREATIONAL GOLFERS NEVER COME CLOSE TO
THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL IN THE GAME THEY LOVE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO
EXAGGERATE A SWINGING MOTION. FROM YOUR PUTTER TO DRIVER,
SCIENCE PROVES THE LESS YOU INTERFERE WITH THE SWINGING
MOTION OF THE CLUBHEAD THE BETTER ANY GOLFER PLAYS. ONLY
THE CLUBHEAD STRIKES THE BALL! THAT'S A HUGE ADVANTAGE.
PHIL MICKELSON, BOBBY JONES, MOE NORMAN
THE ICONIC PHIL MICKELSON (WINNER OF 6 MAJORS AND 45 PGA
TOUR EVENTS) SAID, "TEACHERS SHOULD TEACH LIKE ERNEST
JONES..." AFTER A POWERFUL TALK BY ERNEST JONES TO THE
NATIONAL PGA OF AMERICA, THE LEGENDARY BOBBY JONES
ENDORSED WHAT ERNEST TAUGHT AS A SIMPLER MORE EFFECTIVE
WAY TO TEACH AND PLAY. UNWARRANTED FEAR OF NOT SELLING
ENOUGH LESSONS CAUSED A NEGATIVE RESPONSE. A GOLF WRITER
SAID, "JONES GAVE FIVE TIMES THE LESSONS OF OTHER PROS. GOLF'S
GREATEST BALL STRIKER WAS THE AUTISTIC CANADIAN LEGEND MOE
NORMAN. NICKNAMED "PIPELINE," MOE SAID, "ERNEST JONES WAS
GOLF'S GREATEST TEACHER." "I SWING THE CLUB LIKE A PENDULUM,
THE CLUB CAN'T GET OFF LINE EVEN IF IT WANTED TO." WHAT MOE
MISSED IS CRUCIAL. WITH ALL CLUBS ONLY A SWINGING MOTION
REPEATS IT'S PATH LIKE A PENDULUM -- AND THE SWINGING
PENDULUM IS THE ULTIMATE REPETITIVE MOTION.
WHY INSTRUCTION IS BACKWARDS!
WHEN THE FORMER HEAD OF THE NATIONAL PGA TEACHING DIVISION
ASKED ME, "HOW, AFTER ONLY A FEW LESSONS COULD ERNEST
JONES MAKE A BEGINNER LOOK LIKE THEY PLAYED FOR 10 YEARS?"
MY RESPONSE WAS, "INSTRUCTION TEACHES WHAT A SWING
PRODUCES (BODY MOVES, POSITIONS, ETC.). ERNEST JONES AND I
TEACH HOW TO PRODUCE A SWING. INSTRUCTION IS BACKWARDS!
LISTEN TO WHAT A 3 CONSECUTIVE U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPION
SAID AT AN ORAL INTERVIEW TO THE USGA FOR THEIR MUSEAM
"THE SECRET, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IS TO LEARN WHAT A SWING
IS AND GET THE FEEL OF A SWINGING MOTION. YOU WON'T WANT TO
GIVE IT UP BECAUSE OF THE FREEDOM IT PROVIDES. THIS IS NOT
ONLY THE SECRET BUT THE JOY OF IT." -- VIRGINIA VAN WIE. FORMER
WORLD NUMBER ONE AND ERNEST JONES STUDENT.
MY LIFE'S WORK
MY LIFE'S WORK IS TO GROW THE GREAT GAME BY MAKING GOOD
AND GREAT GOLF MUCH SIMPLER, SOUNDER, SAFER, AND
SELF-CORRECTING. THIS WILL CREATE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF
BETTER SKILLED, LESS INJURED GOLFERS. WITH TODAY'S WELL-
INTENDED MECHANIC INSTRUCTION GOLF RELATED INJURIES ARE
SKYROCKETING, AND GOLFERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS STRUGGLE
NEEDLESSLY FOR THE CONSISTENT IMPROVEMENT THEY WANT AND
DESERVE.
INSTRUCTION IS TOO HARD!
TIGER WOODS -- PAUL AZINGER
Most golfer's play poorly. Data shows that only 55% break 100, and 2-5% break 80. The problem is well-intended mechanic instruction is too hard mentally and physically and creates the experimenting merry-go-round for all skill levels. All today's teachers teach the same thing -- just different twists on mechanics. Laws of motion prove mechanics is not the answer.
On the range (on TV) at a PGA tour event in Chicago, Tiger stated that this leads to that, that to this, this to that, etc. A US Ryder Cup captain, Paul Azinger, stated that you find a fix that works, you exaggerate the fix and need a new fix. One teacher or great player say's one thing another something else. Mechanic fixes, contradictions, tips online and on the Golf Channel are endless. How many things can you think of in the approx. 1.2 seconds it takes to strike a shot?
Mechanics and golf tips are temporary band-aid fixes at best. What all golfers need is something that works for all shots, and is 100% guaranteed by laws to always work when you do it. Only swinging the clubhead by feel
gives you that guarantee. For 5 decades I've seen it work for all skill levels.
Science has no fixes or golf tips. When you feel the freedom of a swinging motion, you're guaranteed to play better golf. Fast For proven results go to some of my many students documented Testimonials.
SPENDING TIME WITH LEGENDS -- SAM SNEAD AND GARY PLAYER
POSITIONS, THE HANDS, FUNDAMENTALS, SWING PLANE, ETC.
As a teaching pro in the past, I qualified for a PGA tour event. In the locker room was the iconic Sam Snead. The winner of a tied record 82 PGA tour events was correct when he said, "You can have great positions and a lousy swing, lousy positions and a great swing." When I asked Snead, "What starts and swings the club?" Snead laughed, held up his hands and said, "What do you think I hold the club with." When I told Snead I heard you have a natural swing he said, "A million balls later." Snead validated what I teach when he said, "All I ever worked on was rhythm." My simple demo in the DVD I sell proves with all clubs only a swinging motion creates rhythm (a recurring beat) in golf.
At another PGA Tour event I qualified for I was paired with Gary Player. The iconic winner of 9 majors said, "For every fundamental in golf I'll show you a superstar who doesn't do it." Recently, I heard a PGA tour announcer on TV say, " I don't know why he missed the shot, he was on plane and everything looked good." With a trained teaching eye (watching only the clubhead motion) I could see the clubhead wasn't swinging. The Shocking Instruction Myths demos in my new digital global instruction package I'm creating will be eye-opening. It will create change from the complexity and many contradictions of well-intended mechanic instruction, to the simplicity of swinging the clubhead through your own sense of feel.
GOLF'S ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR
WHAT ALL GREAT PLAYERS DO BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN
THE ONLY SECRET TO GOLF
Every golfer I've ever met would love to discover one swing thought, one feel, guaranteed by indisputable laws to work for all clubs and shots. Swinging the clubhead by feel is that one thing. A swinging motion is a very specific clubhead motion, with a specific feel, that any golfer can learn.
To see a true swinging motion watch a child swinging on a swing. You can't see the great force (centrifugal) and accuracy because it's so smooth and even to your eye. For maximum speed only a swinging motion creates centrifugal Force. Move your clubhead with any other motion -- push, jerk, guide, etc., and centrifugal force is gone. Swinging wrecking balls knock down tall buildings. Some tour pro examples are Louie Oosthuizen, Fred Couples, Ernie Els, and Annika Sorenstam. Els, who won 4 majors said, "My swing is one smooth motion without a beginning or end." The swing is one continuous motion that can't be taken apart. Nobody draws a circle in pieces and then tries to put the pieces together like golf instruction does.
Swinging the clubhead is what all great players do but can't explain. They can't explain it because they (and you) can only feel it. For all clubs and shots basic laws prove a swinging motion is present in the clubhead of every great player that ever lived.
BOBBY JONES QUOTE
"The one idea for the golfer to keep always in his mind is that when playing a shot, his job is to swing the clubhead. If he does that hitting the ball will take care of itself." Golf's greatest player won 13 majors and retired at age 28. Jones won 44% of the majors he played in. A higher percentage of major wins than Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
ONLY THE CLUBHEAD STRIKES THE BALL!
The more you feel what the clubhead is doing, and the less know what your body is doing the better you'll play, the safer you'll be, and the more you'll enjoy golf. I've taught one arm and one leg golfers who scored in the mid 70's. One was scratch.
THE LAWS OF FORCE -- THE LAW OF THE PENDULUM
THE TRUTH ABOUT DISTANCE, ACCURACY, AND CONSISTENCY
JACK NICKLAUS ON DISTANCE, JOHNNY MILLERS HOT STREAK,
BRANDT SNEDEKER ON PUTTING
For distance and speed science proves only a swinging motion creates the greatest force (centrifugal) that a human can produce. In the Olympics the shot-putter pushes a 16 lb. weight 70 ft. The hammer-thrower swings a 16 lb. weight 280 ft. With all clubs the less you interfere with the swinging motion the greater your speed! After Morikawa won the Memorial the iconic Jack Nicklaus said, "He swings the club to get his distance." When any golfer asks, "How can I get more distance?" I tell them, learn to swing the clubhead by feel. All sports played well are played by feel.
For accuracy and consistency science proves only a swinging motion acts like a pendulum. The swinging pendulum is the ultimate repetitive motion. No wonder, Johnny Miller during one of the greatest hot streaks in the history of golf told a leading golf magazine, "I swing the club like a pendulum." In 1974 Miller won 8 PGA tour events. In 1975 he won a PGA tour event in the desert by 14 shots.
The former 2012 FedEx cup winner Brandt Snedeker has been one the best putters for years. He said, "Feel the putter head swinging." Swing the putter head, and with some practice any golfer can putt well.
THE TRUTH ABOUT RHYTHM, TIMING, AND BALANCE
SAM SNEAD ON RHYTHM -- TIGER ON BALANCE
ELIMINATE FAT SHOTS, THIN SHOTS, DECELERATING
For perfect rhythm watch a child's swinging motion on a swing. You can count to the recurring beat (rhythm) through a small arc like putting, or a large arc like driving. When the iconic Sam Snead told me, "All I ever worked on was rhythm," unknowingly Snead was working on swinging the clubhead by feel.
For perfect timing, the child's swinging motion on a swing is always accelerating at the bottom of the arc where the club and ball make contact. With a swinging motion you won't hit fat shots, thin shots, or decelerate. Your clubface always come back to it's starting point or square. It's a law! From all kinds of positions trick shot artists prove this fact.
A spinning top stays balanced because of the force. When you swing the clubhead centrifugal force keeps you balanced. My one-legged student Steve Fangio (with a great attitude) was an inspiration at golf events. Steve drove 270 yds., and shot 68 on a tough desert course in Arizona. The iconic Tiger Woods said, "My swing keeps me balanced."
THE ROOT CAUSE OF POOR SHOTS
WHY TOUR PROS FALL OFF THE CHARTS
AND MILLIONS OF GOLFERS STRUGGLE
FOR CONSISTENT IMPROVEMENT
Mechanic instruction corrects the effect not the cause -- the symptom not the disease. Golfers move the clubhead with jerking, pushing, pulling, guide/steer, and other wrong motions. With all clubs these motions destroy speed for distance, don't act like a pendulum for accuracy and consistency, and destroy rhythm, timing, and balance.
When a poor shot results, instead of correcting the clubhead motion teachers, golfers, swing aids, computers, correct body moves and positions, If it works the golfer attributes their new found success to the fix. The fix gets exaggerate and you need a new fix. The end result is experimentation and frustration. My powerful story in the (About) section explains my passion for instruction to change. Swinging the clubhead by feel gives golfers mental and physical freedom to play better golf, self-correct, and enjoy the great game more.
The legendary Bobby Jones said, "Probably the most important and useful concept for the golfer is that of swinging, ever swinging as opposed to forceful hitting."
ELIMINATING THE TWO GREATEST OBSTACLES FOR ALL GOLFERS
HOW TO STAY FOCUSED
"My problem today was thinking too much." Jack Nicklaus. The two
greatest obstacles for all golfers are the mind and eyes. Your mind gets you thinking too much. Your eyes see all the hazards on the course. By focusing only on swinging the clubhead by feel, you won't have time to worry about anything else -- including outcome. You won't be thinking; you'll be feeling!
SWINGING VS. MECHANICS -- FIVE MAJOR ADVANTAGES
1. You can't exaggerate a swinging motion. Any mechanic fix (body
moves, positions, etc.) can easily be exaggerated leading to new
fixes.
2. Mechanics are negative. What you do wrong can change. Creating
a swinging motion is positive. The motion never changes. All that
changes is the club you use. Ph.D. Psychologists who love how I
teach call it, "Errorless Learning." I call it a positive way to play.
3. Doing 9 different trouble shots for Golf Magazine I proved it's rare to
need adjustments. Striking good shots, the swinging motion always
brought the clubface back to its starting point or square. It's a law!
After a great show where I taught in Michigan, the late trick shot
artist Paul Hahn Jr. told me, "I use the same feel for all my shots."
4. Take your range game to the course - When you feel the clubhead
swinging on the green or range, you'll be able to take that feel to
the course.
SELF-CORRECT FOR ALL CLUBS AND SHOTS IN GOLF
5. Once you learn the feel of a swinging motion, you'll get instant feel
feedback with all clubs and shots. You become your own coach!
WHY GOLF INJURIES ARE SKYROCKETING
TIGER WOODS
One study showed 70% amateurs and 90% pros will have a golf related injury. Mechanics aren't natural. When you do something not natural to your anatomy, and repeat it over and over you're a strain or injury waiting to happen. The modern style of creating the swing is a prime example. Tiger
fired four well-known mechanic teachers. One stated that he may have added to Tiger's physical problems. Another stated that he may not know what's right but he knows what's wrong. Nobody's at fault because mechanics is all teachers are taught and know. The legendary Ernest Jones said, "You must understand motion." There is a much safer, sounder, simpler, and self-correcting way to play with more than a century of success.
SCIENCE CREATES SAFETY
ELIMINATING ALL MECHANICS IS A SAFER WAY TO PLAY
JACK NICKLAUS
With a swinging motion all body parts naturally follow the clubhead motion without strain. The outward pull of the weight of the clubhead (centrifugal force), automatically creates weight shift, body turn, swing plane, delayed release, balance, follow-through, etc. For proof watch my two min. YouTube video, and it's simply explained in The Golf Swing Motion DVD. Jack Nicklaus told a struggling OSU mens golf team player to "Swing the weight of the clubhead." Great advice from the iconic winner of a record 18 major championships.
ALL SPORTS PLAYED WELL ARE PLAYED BY FEEL
COMPUTERS CAN'T FEEL
Ask NBA superstar Steph Curry how he makes 3-point baskets from downtown. Steph feels it in his hands and fingers. He doesn't analyze body moves or positions. With 8 major wins, the iconic Tom Watson said, "The better my feel, the better I play. It's that simple." I couldn't agree more! Tom wrote me a nice supportive note with a U.S. Ryder Cup captain heading.
WHEN MY STUDENTS STRIKE GOOD SHOTS FOUR THINGS HAPPEN
1. They know the specific feel that works for all shots in golf.
2. They know how to get that feel.
3. They know how to practice the feel indoors and on the range.
4. They know how to get the feel back when elusive.
MORE THAN A CENTURY OF SUCCESS, 1924-2025
THE MOST THOUGHT PROVOKING TALK EVER GIVEN TO THE PGA
THE FUTURE OF GOLF
Because of his remarkable teaching record (teaching all skill levels to swing the clubhead), in 1951, the scholarly one-legged Ernest Jones was invited to be the main speaker at the PGA annual meeting. In one 15-year stretch, 7 Jones' students won the US National Championship and 7 finished 2nd. For 40 years Jones was America's foremost teacher. He helped tens of thousands of recreational golfers score lower, and make good golf much simpler mentally and physically than mechanics.
At the meeting the iconic Bobby Jones told the PGA what they need is a simple effective way to teach, and that Ernest Jones gave an excellent dissertation.
When the incoming PGA President Horton Smith stated it's too simple, "We wouldn't sell enough lessons." Jones replied, "You want them to suffer further." A golf writer wrote, "Jones gave five times the lessons of other pros." Jones said, "You can always learn more about what's right." When my DVD The Golf Swing Motion came out in 1992, my national golf school filled for many years without marketing. You give more lessons because golfers really improve and tell others. Ironically, Smith, a two-time Masters winner took lessons from the brilliant one-legged Ernest Jones.
When Jones was invited to be the principle speaker to the golf writers of America he told them, "You have been printing rubbish for 50 years." His talk won over many writers. During the Jones era many writers and teachers thought golf instruction should be standardized to what Jones taught.
My late teacher Nick Martino was proud of the 15 club champions he taught on Long Island. It was from Nick that I learned the principle pure and uncorrupted the way Jones taught him. Nick called Jones "The Master." The brilliant Jones is the only teacher in The World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame who taught no mechanics. Jones called mechanics, "A long circuitous route to good golf." The basic laws, simplicity, and common sense behind the principle I teach is the future of golf. Only the clubhead strikes the ball, and the less you interfere with the swinging motion of the clubhead the better you or any golfer plays. Laws of motion are indisputable!
A golf writer wrote, "Ernest Jones never lost an argument about the golf swing." You can't argue against common sense and Newton's and Galileo's laws. Jones told a NYC newspaper reporter, "There are no golf tips. There are fundamental laws that govern the motion of the club." I'd add, and those laws are present only when you move your clubhead with a swinging motion. The precise motion of a child swinging on a swing.
VALIDATION FROM MY COUSIN THE PHYSICIST
THE ROOT CAUSE OF GOOD AND GREAT GOLF
JACK NICKLAUS ON MOTION
At the University of Colorado, I explained the simplicity of what I teach to my brilliant research physicist cousin Art, and the four doctoral students he was helping, (none played golf). They all said, "It can't be anything else. What do they teach in golf?" My response was, "They dissect the swing (which is a specific clubhead motion) into body parts, moves, positions, etc. and expect golfers to put the pieces together and play well." The iconic Jack Nicklaus remarked that like baseball, tennis, (and other sports) golf is a motion. The question is what motion? The motion must be made with the clubhead (not the handle), because only the clubhead strikes the ball.
Watching a child swinging on a swing, nobody can call anything but that specific motion a swing. Fundamental laws prove the swinging motion is the root cause of good and great golf. The less you interfere with the motion the better you play. Period! Any golfer who learns to swing the clubhead by feel will have a lifetime of good, self-correcting, injury free golf.

TIGER WOODS
Tiger talked about feeling shots with his hands. And after all his surgeries that he still had good use of his hands. Only your hands contact the club. Only through the feel in your hands can you feel what the clubhead is doing. To get the feel of the swinging motion Tiger practiced putting with his eyes closed.
GARY PLAYER
As previously mentioned I was paired with the iconic Gary Player at a PGA tour event. On the range Player said, "When you have the feel you can do anything you want." Gary changed his grip, stance, positions, and struck shot after shot at his target. With a trained teaching eye, watching only his clubhead motion, I saw a swinging motion with little interference. Nobody swings with zero interference, but you can get close. With all clubs, the less you interfere with the swinging motion the better you're shot. Period!
THE SECRET TO TRICK SHOTS
Sitting in a chair in The Golf Swing Motion DVD, I strike a full 8-iron to an uphill green for a birdie putt. All I concentrated on was swinging the clubhead by feel with my hands. I was sitting on the body's largest muscle, the gludeus maximus. The small muscles, not the large muscles swing the club. There are countless instruction myths!
GETTING A SQUARE CLUBFACE AT IMPACT WITH ALL CLUBS
The 1995 US Open winner, Corey Pavin, remarked that all he wanted was a square clubface at impact. The swinging pendulum is the ultimate repetitive motion. When you feel a swinging motion, your clubface comes back to it's starting point, or square from any position with all clubs. It's a law!
The DVD will give you more distance, accuracy, and consistency.
You'll play with mental and physical freedom free from injury.
