Waste of money, get the S&T; DVDs by Bennett and Plummer instead.

Doesn't everyone at the Sand Trap already own them all?

This is a terrible method. Yeah sure, it works, but look at the timing involved. You have to be dead on accurate, and if people were that coordinated, a lot more people would be striking pure golf shots. Look at Charles Barkley. His swing is absolutely terrible, so much to the point that the average person wouldn't even be able to make contact with the ball. Now look at how well he hits it considering how absurd the swing is. He's got amazing coordination, which is the only thing that even allows him to have that swing. If a lesser athlete tried to swing like that, they'd top, duff, shank, whiff, and quit the game pretty quickly.

What do you mean? Barkley has a lot of trouble hitting the ball? He shanks and chunks A LOT. What do you mean look at how well he hits it?

Well, I read complaints about Pelz being kinda longish, AJ masters that by far. Booooooring, no info, blablabla. Glad that a friend wasted his money ... But AJ swings nicely standing on just one leg. Thats something.

I think my friends gonna sell his copy to you...

He makes contact with the ball. Most people would just whiff it with that swing.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
