Download or read book Golf Swing Solution written by Steven Nussbaum and published by Skyline Publications (FL). This book was released on 2010-09-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf Swing Solution takes a "new" angle on golf swing instruction by presenting the "foundation" for each golf swing that must be in place before all other forms of conventional instruction can succeed. Conventional Golf Instruction is Presented Backwards! - After reading many books/articles on the golf swing, watching many golf instruction videos/DVDs, taking many private golf lessons, and attending the worlds' best golf schools- including, David Leadbetter and Hank Haney, the conclusion is most golf swing instruction is presented backwards- or from the bottom up, versus from the top down- focusing on many small pieces instead of presenting the entire big picture foundation of the golf swing first. Without a big picture foundation golf swing context, most golfers end up spinning their wheels and find it hard to improve their golf games, no matter how much they practice, or no matter how many lessons they take. In 4-sections, Golf Swing Solution provides the "Critical Bridge" for all other forms of conventional golf instruction to succeed. 1. TENSION-RELEASE GOLF SWING - What you need to feel at setup? What is the proper sequence of the arms and legs? What triggers takeaway? What turns in the golf swing? What causes swing plane? How do the wrists cock? What squares the golf club at impact? How the grip aligns with golf club construction? How to apply professional golf swing tempo and rhythm? 2. TENSION-RELEASE SAND SWING - Learn the key differences between the Sand Swing and the Full Swing. Learn the key set up and swing adjustments that make it "easy to get out of the sand" every time. 3. TENSION-RELEASE CHIP SHOT - Use Tension-Release swing principles to make proper arc + pendulum adjustments for chipping. 4. BALANCE PUTTING METHOD - New and original putting instruction that applies physics and science principles to the putting stroke- including (1) Single Pivot application (2) Arc + Pendulum sequence that utilizes natural centrifugal and centripetal force to roll the golf ball straight, with exceptional touch and feel. (3) Science of reading greens and break- uphill, downhill, left and right. " I have just finished the book. On the surface it seems absolutely brilliant. In simplest form, the golf swing is just a vertical to horizontal cycle and when you apply this cycle in correct sequence, all the other parts seem to fall together and you do not have to focus on particulars like weight shift, swing plane, wrist cock, release etc. Very interesting observations, and yet to my knowledge have never seen the golf swing presented like this before. Your presentations on chipping and sand swing are equally brilliant! The putting material is more involved and will take a patient read. Now to take this to the course. Best regards, and kudos on a great job ..." (Unsolicited E-mail from Golf Swing Solution Reader).

Download or read book Your Short Game Solution written by James Sieckmann and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supported by state-of-the-art motion analysis research, "short game guru to the pros" James Sieckmann unveils his "finesse wedge" swing -- a proven and pragmatic way to learn, practice, and perform with each wedge in the bag in every situation -- and shows players that upgrading their short game is possible. Since James Sieckmann first revealed his short-game methods two decades ago, he has amassed a cultlike following of more than seventy PGA and LPGA Tour disciples and has been dubbed the “short-game guru to the pros” (GOLF Magazine). Using his system, several of Sieckmann’s students have become some of the best short-game players of the modern era. A two-time winner on the PGA Tour jumped 117 spots in the Sand Save rankings in one season; another client quickly jumped 81 spots in Scrambling percentage. The benefits of a good short game are undisputed. Unfortunately, players at all levels fail to develop effective short-game skills because instructors teach the exact opposite of the correct technique. Sieckmann studied the greatest short-game players in recent memory—including Seve Ballesteros, Corey Pavin, and Raymond Floyd—to develop a proven and pragmatic way to learn, practice, and perform with each wedge in every situation. His unique observations, which were later verified by motion capture technology, work equally well for amateurs and pros. In his long-awaited first book, Sieckmann opens up his vault of secrets for all golfers. After breaking down the basics, he presents a session-by-session training and practice guide—the same one he creates for his tour clients—to help the reader develop and sustain correct habits, avoid common flaws, and master essential skills. Next, Sieckmann explains how to optimize a player’s wedge swing for every scenario. An easy-to-learn and easy-to-use system, Your Short Game Solution will be the go-to guide anywhere golf is played.
