THROUGHOUTMY CAREER I have always been interested in looking at the
ways in which training products can help a golfer to ingrain the movement
and the feelings that we look for in a solid and repeating swing. By
and large, most of these products are limited, in that they tend to
focus on one specific element of the swing. This is why I am so excited
about the SwingSetter - an ingenious new training device that can help
golfers of all age and ability to learn a good overall swing technique
through feel. The SwingSetter came about out of my desire to create
what I would describe more as a DIY learning tool than a teaching tool.
Having said that, all of the instructors at my teaching academies around
the world now use the SwingSetter as an integral part of their teaching,
for the simple reason that it reinforces the core elements of my philosophy
on the swing. Once a student understands a handful of principles (which
over the following pages I am going to explain to you) the SwingSetter
makes for the perfect swing trainer - anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Improve your motion through FEEL
What's the common denominator we see in good players? Answer: They all
have great motion. There is a sense of flow; the clubhead is swinging
freely and it is accelerating when it meets the ball. (Poor players,
in contrast, exhibit poor motion. They appear to be hitting 'at' the
ball rather than swinging through it. And, as a result, they lose clubhead
speed and suffer a lack of distance.) Take a closer look at a good swing
and you discover that good motion starts from the word 'go'. A good
grip paves the way for a good wrist action - fundamental to the correct
'setting' and 'loading' of the club in the backswing - and the SwingSetter
will help you to negotiate these key first moves. The moulded grip guarantees
that your hands are correctly fitted, and, as a result, the wrists enjoy
the full mobility they need in order to hinge correctly in the course
of making a swing.
And once you have the feeling of 'setting' the wrists you will |
