Break-Free from the Frustrating Swing Method Cycle

I refer to the process of going from one swing method to the next as the “swing method cycle.”  It’s a cycle because, like clothing styles, swing methods come, they go, and then they circle back again. 

For example, the first part of my career, the prevailing wisdom was that an “upright” golf swing was better than a “flat” swing.  Upright was in, flat was out.

Then, a tour player who had recently changed to a flatter swing won a big event.  His instructor and several others started expounding the benefits of a flat swing and soon that was the way to go.  Flat was in, upright was out.

From what I’ve read recently, the upright swing is back on top.  So, we’ve circled around again … upright is in, flat is out.

As I wrote in my last blog post, this pattern can be repeated with every aspect of your swing.  Which means, no matter how many times you change your swing, you’ll never be DONE … because the cycle never ends!

Sadly, most golfers don’t even realize their swing is trapped in an ever-changing sea of popular opinion, destined to follow the latest current, with little chance of ever reaching their desired destination.   

Luckily, you and I are in a different boat.  After 15 long years of searching, I finally realized my swing was stuck in a troublesome cycle, and I developed an easy way to break-free.  Now, I’m going to show you just how easy it is to break-free, too! 

What I needed then and what you need now is a surefire way to know – beyond a shadow of doubt – which swing method is best for YOU.  

What you need is to anchor your golf swing to something constant – something that won’t change over time.  Specifically, that means you need to anchor your swing to your golf club at IMPACT – the moment of truth in your swing.

As I wrote on page 32 of my newest book, Custom-Fit YOUR Golf Swing …

“Impact is that constant.  Impact is the same now as it has always been.  It doesn’t vary with the season.  It doesnt change from coach to coach.  It has never changed and it never will.  It will always be there for you.”

The only way you will ever stop circling from one swing method to the next is to base your swing on IMPACT.  That’s the “secret” to finding YOUR best swing.

In future blog posts, I will write a lot more about exactly what that means.  For now, let me leave you with another quote from page 32 of my latest book …

“A swing method isn’t right or wrong just because someone says it is.  A swing method is right or wrong based on how well it allows YOU to get your club where it needs to be at impact.

For example, if you want to know whether a flat backswing or an upright backswing is better, the answer is simple.  It’s the one that makes it easier for you to swing your club into the ideal position at impact.”

A CUSTOM-FIT golf swing starts with the club at impact and works back from there – to reveal the ONE swing that gets your club exactly where it needs to be at impact, in the easiest, most comfortable way for YOUR body. 

That’s why a CUSTOM-FIT golf swing truly is … the last golf swing you’ll ever need to learn!
