Starting With A Clean Slate

In March of this year I was given the chance to meet with an associate editor for a major golf magazine and give him his own private lesson. We originally met a couple of months earlier in Orlando at the PGA Merchandise Show. After showing him that people found success with The PowerSlot Swing, his interest to learn more was evident. So, in March I flew from New York to meet him at his golf club in California.

Before the lesson, I was told that he had been using the swing successfully but he only used it on the practice range so as to not receive any criticism from his fellow golf mates. After spending nearly 45 minutes with him on the range and giving him all the instruction needed to successfully master the PowerSlot Swing, the two of us went out on the course.

For me it was still very early-season golf because the New York winter had been one of the coldest on record and the time to practice real golf was fairly non-existent. Nevertheless I still managed to hit every fairway throughout the 12 holes we played together. However, and more importantly, an amazing thing happened out on the course with my student.

After playing two holes where he used his driver off the tee, he played his third drive very similar to the previous two where he hit the ball perfectly straight, but it went to the right. I asked him if he realized the mistake he was making and he said that the reason why he aimed to the right was because with his conventional swing, he had what he called a, “natural hook,” and to compensate for this hook, he aimed to the right to help bring the ball back into the fairway.

So I asked him to re-tee his driver but this time, aim in the direction where he wanted the ball to go. He then said something I will never forget. “Wait, I can aim at my target and the ball will go where I want it to go?” I said that we shall see so let’s give it a try.

Well, you can guess what happened next and for the remainder of our time together, he did not miss a fairway as well and was beyond happy with the results The PowerSlot Swing offered his game.

So I am ending this blog with one thought for you to consider. If you’re going to begin using The PowerSlot Swing and you’ve experienced trouble with your old swing, whatever the issues may have been, forget them and realize you are starting with a clean slate. In a way, you are like a new golfer with no mistakes to worry about because if done properly, just as I witnessed with the associate editor who has been playing golf for more than 40 years, you will find new success.

I Want You To Close Your Eyes

When I’m at the range practicing The PowerSlot Swing, it’s impossible for me not to notice when a person is struggling with their conventional golf swing. As the inventor of The PowerSlot Swing and knowing that any and everybody who gives the swing a try has the chance to dramatically improve their game, it’s also impossible for me not to approach that person and ask, “Would you like to learn a new way to play golf?”

One night my wife gave me a free pass to go to the range, and I found myself in a typical situation where the person hitting next to me was having a hard time with their swing. I approached him and he said he would love to give The PowerSlot Swing a try.

After 10 minutes of going through the basics of the swing and having him look back at me in utter amazement every time he hit a great shot, I asked him to take out his driver. For the next 10 minutes, I would say that 90 percent of his shots were on target and hit with fantastic power. So after working with him for a total of 20 minutes where he was finding incredible success, I asked him to do me a favor.

“For this next shot, I want you to close your eyes.” He looked at me and said there was no way he could hit a ball without sight. I explained I wanted to prove to him that the PowerSlot Swing is so fundamentally sound that he could still hit a great shot with his eyes open or closed. He agreed to give it a try, got in his set up position, closed his eyes, and “BOOM!!!” Not only did the ball go perfectly straight, but it was probably one of his longest drives of the night as well.

I’m not asking you and do not normally suggest you practice your swing with your eyes closed; however, I am asking you to see (no pun intended) for yourself that once you have made the proper connection with the golf club in your set up position, the PowerSlot Swing should and will take care of itself.

“That Was The Best Shot I Have Ever Hit.”

I had been working with an 82-year-old man trying to get him to use The PowerSlot Swing. When we were together, he would hit the ball amazingly well and he actually said out loud, “That was the best shot I have ever hit.” I had a convert, right? Wrong! I say this because every time I would go to the range, he was back swinging in the conventional way and although he agreed when we worked together he would hit some of the best shots of his life, he still felt more comfortable using his old swing and said he would continue to try to master the game on his terms.

Two provoking thoughts come from this experience. First, if you are satisfied with the way you are playing the game, then honestly, don’t change. Golf is a difficult sport and what is most important is you feel comfortable with the way you’re swinging your club. If you’re comfortable with your swing, then golf should and will be a great, challenging experience that you will hopefully enjoy.

However, the second thought is, “Change is easier for some than it is for others.” Just from my own experiences using The PowerSlot Swing, it took me a couple of years before I made the commitment to truly understand why starting in The PowerSlot Swing’s set-up position made sense for my golf game. Especially when golf has been played for nearly 200 years and one conventional set-up position had been firmly established as the one and only way to play the game. Believe me when I say this, but going against the grain of history is not an easy thing to do.

But after leaving the range today and realizing that my former 82-year-old student was going back to his old way of playing, I came to grips with the fact that change is easier for some than it is for others. However, I didn’t leave the range feeling totally deflated.

One stall over from the 82-year-old student, another student of mine who has been tinkering with the PowerSlot Swing finally made the ultimate decision to fully commit. After spending a mere 10 minutes with him and giving him the information that made sense to his swing, he said he would take the PowerSlot Swing out on the course and give it a go.

I can’t have them all but if you embrace that change can sometimes be a good thing, then you will hopefully see that The PowerSlot Swing is the swing for you.

The Definition Of Insanity

Someone once defined, “Insanity,” as the act of repeating the same action over and over again expecting different results. I don’t know about you, but if you have been using the same golf swing, taken countless lessons, read various golf instruction books and still have not seen much or any improvement in your golf game and are still driving yourself insane hoping for different results, then maybe it is time for a change. An unexpectedly easy change that I know will produce not only greater ball striking, more confidence while staring down your target and most importantly, a happier golfer that will leave the course or the practice range satisfied with the results; then welcome to The PowerSlot Swing.

Now some people call me insane for starting my swing in what seems like such an unorthodox position, but here is how I want to start my first blog.

The next time you are at the practice range, after you have squared your club head behind the ball to establish your aim, place yourself in the PowerSlot set up position making sure you keep your arms hanging naturally in front of you with your club face pointing parallel to your feet line and give it a rip. Give it a couple of shots so you can see for yourself that starting your swing in The PowerSlot set up position is not as crazy as you would think and maybe you would see that a change for the better is about to occur. And don’t be surprised if you immediately start hitting some of the best shots you can ever remember hitting.

Welcome to my blog and thank you for your interest in learning more about what I would consider to be the easiest and most natural way to play golf. As the woman in the infomercial says, “Stop the Insanity,” and I look forward to your comments and giving you more information about how to truly master The PowerSlot Swing.
