Book excerpt: This book was featured on Golf Channel and recommended by America's top 10 golf instructor. It will revolutionize the way you see and learn the golf swing! Did it ever occur to you that a swing plane doesn't even exist? Do you know that Mr. Ben Hogan didn't swing on the plane he wrote about? Can you imagine that the swing plane you have in mind may be the cause of your slice or shank? In an effort to clarify the misconceptions on the seemingly simple swing plane, this book reveals the truth and fundamentals hidden behind. Here is the shocking truth: there is no backswing or downswing plane in a conventional full swing, there is only the striking plane. The book introduces the Striking Plane Swing Model, which has been extracted from the swings of numerous great ball strikers in history. The model defines the essence of the swing and the proper sequence of club movement, and is based on the laws of classical mechanics and the knowledge of human anatomy. This book will show you why and how many of existing swing plane theories are flawed. A simple but accurate swing analysis method is also introduced and can be used to analyze your swings and pinpoint your issues. Golfers of all levels can benefit from the concepts discussed in this book and will be able to look at the golf swing from a brand new perspective. Knowing the true swing plane fundamentals, an amateur will be able to better understand and diagnose his swing issues; an advanced player will be able to own his swing by creating a swing style that suits him the best.

Download or read book How to Play Golf in a Single Plane written by Billy J. Gaines Sr. and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book was not written on the life and legend of Mr. Moe Norman, rather on the contributions he made towards the single plane swing and the game of golf itself. What I am trying to do in this book is to relay to the reader what I have learned over the 13 1/2 years I spent teaching this method. Mr. Norman took a natural movement used for chopping wood or nailing nails and perfected it into the single plane golf swing we know of today. That's why this movement has been referred to as, ?The Hammer Affect?. The genius of the man was not to completely invent a new golf swing ?no?, but rather to revert back to a movement that we humans have been using since the dawn of time. He did not alter that natural motion, as stated above, but adjusted his setup to fit it and by doing so he defined the meaning ?Square Tracking?. The second most dramatic change the single plane swing gives the golfer is that the forward motion is initiated by a shoulders down (upper body) movement rather than the feet up movement as in the covenantal swing! Because of this setup and upper body swinging movement there is less stress in the low back, less back pain! Through years trial and error he produced the most repeatable and consistent swing in the game of golf. The same swing which allowed him to shoot the three 59s in tournament play. I?m convinced that if Mr. Norman had the charisma of other Pro?s, half the golfing world would be swinging in a single plane. Join me in this book and learn this wonderful swing.

Book excerpt: “Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

Book excerpt: Ah, "beach week": a time-honored tradition in which the D.C. suburbs' latest herd of high school grads flocks to Chelsea Beach for seven whole days of debauched celebration. In this dark comedy, ten teenage girls plan an unhinged blowout the likes of which their young lives have never seen. They smuggle vodka in water bottles and horde prescription drugs by the dozen. Meanwhile, their misguided, affluent parents are too busy worrying about legal liabilities to fret over some missing pills or random hookups. For Jordan Adler and her family, though, this rite of passage threatens to become more than just frivolous fun. The teen's parents, Leah and Charles, might not let their only child go at all. Their marriage is in shambles, their old house is languishing on the market, and the bills are stacking up. With all that stress, it soon seems they're behaving as irresponsibly as their daughter and her friends. With the wit of Nora Ephron and the insight of Tom Perrotta, Susan Coll satirizes a new teenage rite of passage, in the process dismantling the lives of families in transition. Beach Week is a hilarious, well-observed look at the end of childhood and the human need to commemorate it—expensively.
Download or read book The Shape of Golf Plane and Simple written by Bob Haas and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shape of Golf, Plane and Simple reveals a blueprint for hitting the golf ball with the middle of the clubface. This book describes a technique that is very likely the best way to swing a golf club by showing how the dual arc angle sets into motion the multiple arcs in the golf swing. This book shows the angles and proper observation points and describes how the body, arms, and wrist work in the right sequence to create a perfect motion that achieves great success. The book describes the two points that define a perfect golf swing. Bob Haas wrote this book based on his 20] years as a golf instructor, his experience, and his knowledge after teaching tens of thousands of different golfers. This book sets the standard in which the swing should be observed and measured for optimum ball flight and distance for all golfers. Although golfers have different builds and tempos, only one shape is known to reliably hit the ball with the middle of the clubface, which is the key for maintaining correct consistency and hitting the golf ball farther. Any golf swing can hit the perfectly good shots randomly, but golfers want to hit perfect shots consistently. Hitting perfect golf shots requires a specific technique that cannot be achieved consistently without this pattern. Based on fact and logic, the information in this book should de-mystify the right shape of the golf swing. If a golfer can practice and repeat this motion, they will truly find success in ball behavior. In fact, there's a direct correlation between this shape of golf and the shape used by the best golfers on the planet. There are more ways to swing a golf club incorrectly than there are to swing it correctly. Golf swings are chronic. Golfers have an inherent way of swinging the golf club, and they have a natural sequence of body, arms, and wrist. Identifying the natural sequence and how it influences the ball flight and changing to The Shape of Golf, Plane and Simple is the key to better ball behavior. Bob hopes you find this short book not only informative, but also helpful in your quest for perfection. Born in 1966 and raised in Boulder Colorado, Bob Haas has taught 20,000+ golfers at various facilities across the United States. He played his college golf at Southern Utah University, where he earned a B.S. in Business Administration. He also played on the Dakotas Tour and Prairie Tour, but his main interest has been in golf instruction, teaching all aspects of the golf game. Bob has taught golf for over 20 years and gives daily presentations on the golf swing. He truly loves the game and has always had a strong enthusiasm for teaching. Although Bob has studied many of the great instructors, John Jacobs of England has influenced and affected his teachings more than any other instructor. After studying golf for over 30 years, Bob found a way to observe and explain a technique to make golfers more consistently correct and to hit the ball farther. Finding the right technique has made Bob's swing much easier and the ball behavior more predictable. He wishes that he'd had this information on day 1 of his golf career, because it could have saved a lot of wasted time and energy. Bob was blessed with the ability to demonstrate the proper swing and present it to an audience, a skill that is very rare. It's taken quite a few years to perfect. Bob has always sought out the right way to swing a golf club, and he's discovered the shape of the perfect golf swing. When used with the right set-up, Bob's instructions will help golfers hit perfect shots consistently. This gives golfers a higher success rate. He hopes you find this information not only informative, but also helpful in your quest for the rather elusive perfect swing.

Download or read book Blink written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia, the landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
