“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.
