The Simple Golf Swing
With one simple set up at address you can swing a club with the most consistency and accuracy over and over again without thinking.. without the use of any swing gimmicks or hours and hours of practice:
The whole swing requires only a few simple things to do at set up and even if you have never played golf in your life, after hitting a bucket of balls you are ready to take to the links, full of confidence and enthusiasm.
There is no video to watch, no book to read, no alterations to your clubs. Only a few steps to take in the whole Swing Set Up:
Very simplified and easy To Do
Once you have used this, you can even teach it to others for profit if you so wish, because this Swing is like no others. It is so easy to do and brings immediate results.
Having played and taught the Traditional swing for years, there is no question it does have the advantage, ( provided that Proper Sequential Motion is achieved ) it will hit the ball further because it incorporates both the wrist roll and also the wrist break to create two levers. With the use of the two levers it can increase club head speed through the impact zone however if the club head has not returned to square, misdirection is problematic. As soon as you roll your wrist on the back swing the club face is no longer square to the direction which is why there are so many swing gimmicks on the market place trying to find answers on how to obtain the square at impact.
However the very best ball striker ever in golf is the late Mr. Moe Norman who never.. ever used the Traditional Swing and instead used only what has been termed, the "Natural Swing". The very same swing used in every other sport.
For the Simple reason....he said that he wanted to keep the club head square through out the swing and felt that consistent accuracy with the ease of swinging without all the PSM was the only way to play the game....No gimmicks...no hours of practice...no expensive golf instruction....Let the big hitters keep worrying on trying to find a way to hit the ball straight .Many of them have to spend more time practicing recovery shots than they do on putting.
I personally reverted back to using the "Natural Swing" as it's being taught by so many but I wasn't comfortable with all the instruction given for it, like the wide stance and the extender arms that is prescribed together with longer length clubs. So I said to myself "all this is swing stuff is just plain crazy...just go up and hit the ball". So I grabbed my regular length clubs, took a stance that was comfortable and just swung the club...using the grip that eliminates the wrist roll. And yes I did lose a few yards of distance but every ball hit was within yards of each other but as with everything in life ...consistency... means success.
The results: The Simple Golf Swing.
Is this swing for everyone.... Absolutely not. Some will want to continue to struggle with the "Traditional Swing", others will want to learn the simplified "Natural Swing" using the longer clubs and wider stance but then there are the vast majority who will want to grab their bag, to run up to the first tee, to stand over their shot without their knees shaking and then to Slam-it right down the middle:
With all the game improvement equipment, all the teaching videos, manuals and gimmicks yet the average golfers score has only dropped about one stroke. This alone should signal that there is something wrong in the approach to the use of the Traditional swing. Even the very best golfers in the world have their instructors in constant tow wherever they go....and have to constantly work on their PSM. So the question .....is there a better way ?
