Fade, Draw and Straight shots with one really simple swing
I’ve been using the Swing Trainer quite a lot lately. Not sure why I went off it, but I’m now using it more and more because it’s such a simple way to learn a consistent golf. And I’ve made a huge realisation over the last few days that it’s actually possible to hit draws, fades…
My golf pro confused me
After about the 17th excellent shot in a row my client turned to me and said, “You make golf so much easier and simple. I no longer have to think about swinging the club on a 37.5 degree plane”. “What do you mean 37.5 degrees?”, was my instant reply. “Well, my last golf teacher put…

A few years back I discovered that using slightly larger grips had a positive affect on my game. Not only did these bigger grips feel better but they allowed me to swing more confidently and freely. Thin grips can be hard to hold – especially if you have big hands or a bit of arthritis.…
Three Killer Scientific Golf Swing Secrets
Golfers like to work on their swing and search for the ‘secret’ or golf tip that can help them improve.
