Introduction That purpose of this post is to significantly lower the handicaps of golfers who are willing to accept ideas that are outside the realm of what the "conventional golf swing" teaches.
What do I mean by that? It is my solid belief that not everyone was born with the physical ability to swing the club like the tour pros.
So why are so many people wasting their time trying to learn a swing that they'll never be able to play effectively with? If you have ever read Tiger's book "How I Play Golf", you will see a perfect example of what I am talking about (if you haven't read it, I highly recommend it for short game help, and overall golf strategies).
"How I Play Golf" deals more with course management and trouble shots than it does with the mechanics of Tiger's golf swing.
Why? Because when this book was being put together the writers knew that the general golf population would get absolutely no benefit from reading a book about the mechanics of Tiger's golf swing.
They simply couldn't copy it.
Even if you are a golfer that is in great shape, it takes hours upon hours of practice to learn the conventional swing.
Not everyone has that kind of time.
If your goal is to learn how to effectively use a wrist cock at the top of your backswing or to transfer your weight through the impact zone correctly, plan on spending at least 2 years of practice just to learn these procedures, and get your muscles to memorize these movements.
Instead focus on the fundamentals that will get the club back to where it started, get it there square and get it there fast.
The weight transfer still occurs, but it happens subconsciously due to the correct actions made during the backswing and downswing.
You will still be moving forward through the ball at impact, but you will not be moving away from the target when completing your backswing.
This will help to eliminate fat shots, topping the ball, and of center shots.
The wrist cock will still naturally occur, but again, it will no longer be necessary to think about it.
Thinking about a wrist cock during your swing will throw off your timing...
and timing is everything in golf.
Learned the mechanics-based swing fundamentals that you can practice, incorporate, and benefit from in a very short period of time.
Literally, you will be able to pick up your 7 iron, and if you follow the advice given, you'll be hitting crisp, solid shots with great accuracy.
The best part is that since this is a system, you'll be able to consistently do all of the above.
There are only 5 steps to "The Simple Golf Swing".
After you have learned and practiced each one of them, you'll be hitting great shots.
5 steps - that's it.
The 5 fundamentals that will transform your game.
This works for golfers with high and low handicaps.
High Handicappers - Whether you spend a lot of time practicing, but you just can't reduce your handicap...
or you simply don't practice enough, it's time to rethink your swing.
If you don't have the time to practice, then you need to get a less complex swing.
If you practice, but can't get better, then chances are that you are practicing the wrong fundamentals, or practicing in an unproductive way.
Regardless of the situation, this swing is the answer.
Low Handicappers - You are already doing a lot of things right, and it is not my goal to totally rebuild your swing.
We have had great success with low handicappers.
Generally, the low handicapper will build a hybrid swing that is a mix of what they already know.
The result is usually a 2 to 4 stroke reduction.
It's very easy to turn golf into a complex system of turns and twists.
Our goal is to get away from that.
First, we're going to get you into a set-up position that will enable you to make solid impact with the golf ball.
You will use this set-up procedure every time you approach a shot.
You will be amazed at how much this improves your game in itself.
Next, we are going to teach you a sound grip.
Then, we're going to give you a timing drill.
The goal here is to simplify how timing may be improved, while contributing to basic swing mechanics related to our Simple Golf Swing.
We hope that you focus on this drill and truly understand it, so that when we take you through the swing process there is very little new that you will have to learn.
Finally, we give you the component pieces of your new and simpler golf swing.
You'll have a completely new swing, and it will be simple and repeatable.
We realize what you want, and your new swing will deliver.
No more studying.
No more frustrations about how to hit the ball solidly and reliably.
The time to improve your golf game is now.
It's amazingly simple, and that's why you should be so excited.
