WHY AREN'T GOLFERS IMPROVING?
WHY AREN'T WE SEEING BALL STRIKING PERFECTION?
Today's golf swing theories just DO NOT go along with what the great ball strikers of golf showed us. The great ball strikers left their blue prints for all to follow and unfortunately people aren't listening.
When I hear an instructor talking about keeping the golf club on plane I instantly cringe and settle in for a good laugh. Instructors who talk about keeping the club on the same plane going back and coming down DO NOT fully understand the golf swing. We hear about lines being drawn down through the ball and flash lights running up and down the plane line. It is an untrue concept and entirely false -- as the swings of the greats show nothing of the sort.
Let's look at two great ball strikers Sam Snead and Lee Trevino:
Do we see their club shafts on plane pointing at the ball as they approach impact at a position half way down? ......NO....of course not.....there is a reason for this and the reason is directly related to why they were two of the most consistent strikers of a golf ball history has ever shown us.
I also hear instructors talk about releasing the club with their right hand. This is again a laughable concept. This action alone closes the club face through impact and throws the club off the true line necessary for consistent golf-- making ball control and solid striking a game of chance. Some days the stars all align and a person can hit the ball well, but the next day they back in their old habits of yelling fore and searching for their golf ball all day long.
Check the comparison photos below of Ben Hogan and Gay Brewer compared to Phil Mickelson (flipped as a right hander) and an unknown PGA Tour player.
Looking at the pictures it is not hard at all to determine which players would have more control of their golf ball's direction and trajectory. It shows why swing plane going back and coming down just isn't an ideal logic. If you aren't going to keep the club going through on plane then the rest doesn't matter.
So therefore WHY do players get taught this type of action and what role does today's equipment issues have in making them swing in this uncontrollable manner?
As I have mentioned before today's equipment is not designed by quality golfers like in years past. The equipment is designed by scientists who aren't good golfers and do not understand the correct golf motion. Their sole intention seems to be directed at distance.
Clubs are lighter, longer and bigger.
The lie angles are WAY TOO upright making players bring their hands in high to the ball raising their impact plane and giving them no option but to flip and roll through the hitting area.
It is a total disaster as we now have club fitters and manufacturers telling us to hit up on the bill for DISTANCE because the drivers have sweet spots too high up on the face. So you now have two different swings-- one for a driver and one for an iron and each different action wants to be the rudder that steers the ship with disastrous results.
The equipment being produced and the club fitting process we see today breeds a vicious cycle of incorrect intentions in the swing and as a result are damaging and ruining many more golf swings in the process.
*************************************************************************
THE BACKSWING-- Why All The Fuss?
If you honestly believe that taking the club back on a path what is deemed to be "on-plane" is of importance....... then how do we explain the pics below of some of the most renowned ball strikers ever
Hogan, Norman, Green, Jones, Nicklaus, Miller, Floyd, Furyk, Trevino, Sanders
(pictured below)
How could they take the club back on almost any old plane they wanted to with their backswings and play so well and be revered for their games if the backswing was so crucial to golfing success?
Because we don't hit the ball on our backswing !!!....that's why...
The backswing's function is only a moving of the club in a manner that sets each player up for the perfect delivery into the ball. If I showed you the impact position of all these golfing greats they would look very, very similar.
The backswing is earned once you know the true feel of impact....read that again.
If you know how to find the correct path to the ball and know how to control the club through impact-- you will find your very own perfect backswing to suit that feel.......It really is that simple.
This is why generic teaching based on some formula or what the 'teaching fad' of the day is confuses people and gives them little chance of improvement.
Golfers get too much backswing information from instructors because it is slow and easy to see when in motion and they forget the important part....the path into and through impact.
We need to be interested in the blurr of the swing..not the start and the finish. That backswing and follow through stuff may make you look pretty but it won't make an iota of difference to your ball striking ability.
As we see above, history shows the backswing can be a variety of different paths
This is a FACT... not a guess or FICTION
*************************************************************************
A Pretty Swing Doesn't Necessarily
Mean It Is A Dynamic Functional Swing
It is always strange to hear commentators discuss golf swings. There is a huge difference between a pretty looking swing and a dynamic functional swing. Even with today's 'inferior equipment' there is one player that tends to stand out as being a ball striking machine. He does all the right things in the correct sequence and has always been recognized as being a tremendous ball striker even though most people criticize his swing- thinking it is too loose and requires too much timing...Nothing could be farther from the truth...that player is Sergio Garcia.
If Sergio could get the same feel and compression with his putting action as he does with his golf swing, he would be very hard to beat.
His putting stroke resembles being too careful and trying to create a roll with an entirely different looking putting action to how he swings the golf club.
His golf swing is all about creating angles and releasing them in the correct sequence with a distinct compression on the ball.
This is a big reason why we see great ballstrikers who are average putters and great putters who are average ballstrikers.
Very few players seem to match up the finer points and feels associated with both parts of the game.
Why wouldn't you want to keep the same feeling motion throughout all parts of your game?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sergio's golf swing is uncannily similar to Hogan in many regards...but through impact he is PURE GOLD!!!... as evidenced below...
Don't EVER change what you are doing Sergio just to suit the critics...
It doesn't really get much better than this......
Sergio's feel for the proper dynamics of the golf swing is A - 1 ...as shown by just how great a driver of the golf ball he is on a consistent basis and how beautifully he delivers the club from a flat position into and through impact.
ANYONE can achieve this controlled powerful feel to their swing if given the right information and the correct methods at ingraining it into their system..
This is my main goal as a teacher of the game.
To allow people to FEEL and CREATE these dynamically correct positions. It is not done with trying to create a flat left wrist or trying to do such and such. It is done with the correct training of the body using a real golf club. No flashlights. No brooms...just real golf clubs like you use on the golf course.
Once you receive the correct instruction, that is fundamentally backed up by the best ball strikers the game of golf has put forward, you will be well on your way to your own golfing excellence.
It takes work, as any quest to improve at anything does, but anyone can improve armed with the right information and their own desire and motivation.
*************************************************************************
*************************************************************************
TIGER WOODS- Can he come back?
If we look at the golf swing of Tiger Woods from 1997 when he used shorter steel shafted heavier clubs compared to his swing of 2010 where he has an upright lie angled, lightweight, long, oversized club to wield the comparisons are shocking.
His swing has deteriorated from poor instruction. He has been taught too much backswing thought and forgot how the club is meant to be delivered to the ball. Using clubs that aren't designed to efficiently match the correct mechanics of controlling the golf ball have put him even farther off course. When your fairways hit percentage hovers around 50% for most of the past 4 years that should be all the evidence you need to know whatever you are doing is way off the mark.
Alas, his recent swing change of staying centred or 'on top of the ball' is not going to help much either. The Stack & Tilt logic can work with shorter shafted clubs but is not viable for the longer clubs. The picture below right is the proof of what happens from that logic. Towels and gloves under the arm are of no value either. Tiger is increasingly losing his feel for the club and how to swing on the correct path to help square up contact and continue on correct plane where it really counts.--- Post Impact
I wish him well in his quest to regain form but it will be a huge battle because he is getting farther and farther away from the blueprint to ball striking greatness and control that all the greats of the game left behind for us to use
We can again see the problems encountered from a front on view of an off plane release when we look at Ben Hogan and Stewart Cink. Hogan was renowned as the premier ball striker of golf- EVER. It is not hard to see why he had power and control.
*************************************************************************
If you are caught up in the never ending search for golfing success and cannot find consistency with your game...you have finally found the right place. I can show you exactly what the swing should feel like and bring your game to a higher level.
Come sign up for a lesson now and steer away from the generic teaching you receive from instructors who base their teaching on guesswork and teaching fads...
I can teach you how to promote the correct feelings and internal pressures of the swing without the technicality of measuring angles and without comparing your swing on a screen to Tiger Woods or Ernie Els. You will find your own individual swing based on the feelings of the greats.
All the greats had their own unique style and look but their swing intentions were the same where it all counted-- into impact and beyond.
So if the best all looked different when they swung, what hope do you have of trying to swing like one particular person.
It is next to impossible to do such a thing because of differing build, weight, hand size, flexibility, strength, brain power, equipment, practice time...and many more variables....so I will never try compare your swing to anyone else.
It will be YOUR swing based around the true facts and feels of swinging a golf club to it's utmost potential to gain feel, a consistent strike, increased accuracy and the maximum power and distance possible for you to improve as a golfer
*************************************************************************
Did my golf swing growing up resemble Ben Hogan's swing when viewed in
motion?
Absolutely not......
Did my golf swing growing up resemble Ben Hogans's swing when frozen at some
of the important parts of the motion?
Absolutely yes..... (as shown below)
These dynamic positions are a result of internal pressures working underneath the engine of our body that are hard to see and that your normal golf instructor never experienced or really even knows about.
You can try all you want to hit these positions but you can NEVER just stick the club somewhere and hope for a result. Positions of the swing happen for a reason...a cause and affect.
This is where split screening a students swing on a computer and comparing it to someone else and trying to stick the club in a similar position is destructive to all the other flowing components that make up the golf swing.
This is where learning from a seasoned player who is armed with this kind of information from his own experiences is more logical than learning from someone who has no internal experience of playing at a high level.

The best ball strikers ever left a treasure trove of fundamentals and feels of the golf swing that are just not being taught any longer for various reasons. It's time to reverse the trend.... Come see me for your path to better golf.

ONLINE LESSON TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS:
Bradley,
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how excited I am about my golf swing. It seems like I have spent thousands of dollars and hours trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. The drills you have given me have made a huge difference already in both my length and straightness. I am finally getting a quality of strike on the ball.. Wow and thank you.
T.A
****************************************************************************************************
Dear Ralph (Gotham Golf Blog),
I wanted to pass this along to you about an internet golf lesson I recently received from one of your guests- Bradley Hughes. This was probably the best $50 I have ever spent on golf. Since 1985 I have had many lessons- some from well known 'golf gurus'- and no-one has ever pointed out stuff about my swing like this before. Thanks for bringing another great 'underground' talent to our attention.
J.M
***************************************************************************************************
Brad,
After working on your recommendations I eventually found my groove and started to stripe my driver 20 yards farther than I ever have on the range I practice at (i know this range well!!!). I can't explain it other than the fact your drills started to take affect. I felt like I was holding 'lag' longer on my downswing and could go harder at the ball than I ever imagined I could and stay in balance with more control. Thankyou!
J.N

I pride myself on being able to teach all standard of golfers how to reach their maximum potential.
The golf swing is ALL about IMPACT.. I will show you how to get your impact correct and then build your swing around that sensation.
Your swing will develop based on the correct sensations, and feelings and imagery that the golfing greats of every era have used as their foundation to great golf.
TOO much of today's generic golf instruction is based on observation and guesswork....... come learn from someone who played with the best golfers at the highest level of world golf and receive true insight and instruction based on feelings and thoughts and truths that were tested under tournament conditions and that are proven to improve any golfer of any standard.

Student testimonials:
" I have worked with Bradley on my game for approx 18 months now. When we first started out my normal score was around 120. Within 6 months I had broken 100 for the first time...(shooting an 88!!) and now my low score is a 75 !!!
I never imagined I could reach such an improved standard so soon. Thanks to Bradley for his easy to follow instruction thoughts and swing training ideas that took my game to more than the next level"..... R.P
====================================================================================
"I could play a good game of golf every so often, but consistency was a huge issue for me. Great one day, and then awful the next 3 days. Bradley explained to me in easy to understand terms what makes the swing tick and how to achieve the correct impact positions to make me have more control of my golf shots on a more regular basis. I also had a putting lesson from Bradley which really made me capitalize on my better play. My handicap is dropping and so are my putts ".....R.H
====================================================================================
"I really got a passion for golf later in life but had no formal instruction growing up. Bradley has put me on the path to golfing fun and pleasure. His method of teaching and the recommended drills that help me improve are priceless and his communication in making sure I understand the reasons behind what we are trying to achieve with my swing is fantastic. He wants me to improve just as much as I want myself to improve and I couldn't be happier with the direction my golf is headed. I can't wait to see what feeling I gain from my next lesson "... T.M

NEW *** ONLINE PERSONAL GOLF LESSON
------------------------------------------
If you cannot make it to see me for a lesson in person why not take advantage of my new online personal lessons.
I now accept videos of your swing sent online for viewing and assessment. I will diagnose what I believe are the key components of the swing you should work on to improve your game and I will then send you back a detailed spreedsheet of my thoughts complete with pictures and a training plan all with the sole purpose of giving you the correct tools to work with to advance your game to the highest level possible.
This is a great opportunity to receive expert tuition from a proven tour player no matter where you reside.
For $75 I will assess the video of your swing, break it down into still pics of the areas of your swing that I think need improving.
The visual photograph aids along with my own ideas and words-- you now have your very own personal swing reference guide and future worksheet to use any time you need it.
Who wouldn't want their swing analyzed by a two time Australian Masters Champion and Presidents Cup player-- a great way to improve and learn the truth about the swing from my own personal experiences--
I guarantee I will never 'guess' what might help you improve as the normal generic teaching tends to do.
My Motto: "If you want to play your best you need to learn from someone who has played with the best"
I look forward to helping you soon:
Purchase your personal lesson right now
once payment is received instructions will be sent regarding video size to send, camera angles, golfing ability information, goals & aspirations and other questions which will aid me in giving you the best advice I can to help improve your game.
please allow up to 7 days for final lesson worksheet and thoughts to be delivered to you

ONLINE LESSON TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS:
Bradley,
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how excited I am about my golf swing. It seems like I have spent thousands of dollars and hours trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. The drills you have given me have made a huge difference already in both my length and straightness. I am finally getting a quality of strike on the ball.. Wow and thank you.
T.A

Dear Ralph (Gotham Golf Blog),
I wanted to pass this along to you about an internet golf lesson I recently received from one of your guests- Bradley Hughes. This was probably the best $50 I have ever spent on golf. Since 1985 I have had many lessons- some from well known 'golf gurus'- and no-one has ever pointed out stuff about my swing like this before. Thanks for bringing another great 'underground' talent to our attention.
J.M

Brad,
After working on your recommendations I eventually found my groove and started to stripe my driver 20 yards farther than I ever have on the range I practice at (i know this range well!!!). I can't explain it other than the fact your drills started to take affect. I felt like I was holding 'lag' longer on my downswing and could go harder at the ball than I ever imagined I could and stay in balance with more control. Thankyou!
J.N

I pride myself on being able to teach all standard of golfers how to reach their maximum potential.
The golf swing is ALL about IMPACT.. I will show you how to get your impact correct and then build your swing around that sensation.
Your swing will develop based on the correct sensations, and feelings and imagery that the golfing greats of every era have used as their foundation to great golf.
TOO much of today's generic golf instruction is based on observation and guesswork....... come learn from someone who played with the best golfers at the highest level of world golf and receive true insight and instruction based on feelings and thoughts and truths that were tested under tournament conditions and that are proven to improve any golfer of any standard.

Student testimonials:
" I have worked with Bradley on my game for approx 18 months now. When we first started out my normal score was around 120. Within 6 months I had broken 100 for the first time...(shooting an 88!!) and now my low score is a 75 !!!
I never imagined I could reach such an improved standard so soon. Thanks to Bradley for his easy to follow instruction thoughts and swing training ideas that took my game to more than the next level"..... R.P
====================================================================================
"I could play a good game of golf every so often, but consistency was a huge issue for me. Great one day, and then awful the next 3 days. Bradley explained to me in easy to understand terms what makes the swing tick and how to achieve the correct impact positions to make me have more control of my golf shots on a more regular basis. I also had a putting lesson from Bradley which really made me capitalize on my better play. My handicap is dropping and so are my putts ".....R.H
====================================================================================
"I really got a passion for golf later in life but had no formal instruction growing up. Bradley has put me on the path to golfing fun and pleasure. His method of teaching and the recommended drills that help me improve are priceless and his communication in making sure I understand the reasons behind what we are trying to achieve with my swing is fantastic. He wants me to improve just as much as I want myself to improve and I couldn't be happier with the direction my golf is headed. I can't wait to see what feeling I gain from my next lesson "... T.M
