Swing Thing Golf Clinics; A "New Approach" To An Old Method

The "New Approach" to the modern golf swing is based upon the swing training techniques, or methods, of the greatest players/teachers of the early modern era. The basic principle of our method is "simplicity". Our motto is "Golf is simple when you understand its complexity" and understanding is the foundation of our method. Consequently, we believe that one must be a student of the game to fully understand our method. In order to acquire this understanding, our students must be prepared to apply and commit themselves to certain required readings to give themselves the insight that is needed to be able to understand and apply our basic instruction. These required readings are a prerequisite to the physical application and training with the Swing Thing. Therefore, we teach in two stages. The first stage of our learning process is understanding through reading. In this way, you will gain the knowledge that will give you the confidence to move to the second stage, which is utilizing the Swing Thing. After you complete the second stage, you will be aware that golf is not difficult. Indeed, you will understand that the golf swing is a simple application of the basic laws of physics. This is the essence of our method. The correct golf swing can only be considered "simple" when the student has no doubt that they are executing a golf swing that is non-theoretical by nature. It is this knowledge of correctness that enables the "student of the game" to execute the golf swing with a confidence that they are swinging correctly and their only limitation will be the amount of time that is spent in practicing and refinement.

The Old Master’s Swing Thing Golf Clinics

The most serious golf swing fault is that of improper use of the right hand (of a right handed golfer) in the golf swing. Specifically, the attempt by the golfer to release or to hit the golf ball from the top of the back swing by throwing the club at the ball with the right hand. The Swing Thing will prevent this swing fault by neutralizing the capability of this interference through basic grip reduction.

How far would you hit a golf ball if it flew straight? We believe that it is the unwanted curvature of the golf ball in flight that makes golfers feel that the game is too difficult for them to master. We also believe that anyone who can hit a golf ball approximately 200 yards is an individual with excellent eye hand coordination who possesses a golf swing which is much better than he thinks it is. Anyone can swing a golf club but few can manage to hit a golf ball and fewer still can hit it long and straight. We at Swing Thing Golf are dedicated to teaching the easiest and fastest way to learn the correct golf swing.

We leave the teaching to the greatest players/teachers of the twentieth century. Specifically to Byron Nelson for pioneering and teaching the “feel” of the modern golf swing and Ben Hogan for his scientific analysis of the fundamental “mechanics” of the golf swing.

As we are a school, we require our students to read the books by these masters. As a bookseller, we offer these books to our students at suggested retail. It is of the utmost importance that students learn to swing properly from the outset and understand the natural fundamentals from the very beginning, and then the Swing Thing training aid will be able to refine their swing. This training aid will teach you the “feel” of proper release and will establish your neutral left-hand grip. It will allow you to develop proper muscular control of your swing without years of practicing. It will in fact “shorten the curve” in learning the game. It is unfortunate that we cannot sell you a Swing Thing without instruction but we do not accept failure to teach or learn with this device. Furthermore, you must be a dedicated student of the game or nothing we can do or say will help you.

You may ask, “Why do you teach the so-called ‘early modern method’?”. This is an easy question to answer. Golf used to be taught in such a way as to enable beginners to learn quickly and easily. The teachers were all accomplished professional players who knew that the game was not difficult once you understood the basic fundamentals. Golf was taught by “feel” and who was better to explain the “feel” than the best players and besides, who would believe anyone else. Since that time, golf has been taught by those who were lesser players that have to rely upon bio-mechanical positioning to facilitate their lack of “feel” for the game and this has led to contortional attempts to do something that seems entirely unnatural. This is folly and leads to swing failure. The fluidity of a golf swing should not be broken down into too many positions that require one to think too much about what they are trying to do or perform. Performance in golf, although a fairly unnatural action is most easily facilitated by a purely powerful reflex action that requires little thought although some effort must be made to be precise and deliberate.
