Martin,

I purchased your video and have enjoyed multiple viewings.

One thing I notice is that if I wind the 'hulk' way, I generally get a big power fade quite easily without conscious clubhead 'release'.

If I wind the 'alternate' way, I generally get a right-to-left flight.  Lower, probably due to a more easily bowed left wrist?

Do you find that typical?  I tried implementing it on the course yesterday (switching feels for shot shape) and did not have much success (unlike the range with multiple attempts to get 'feel').  Probably a bad idea?


Both methods work at the range for me however, with a few swings to switch.  Felt like I got a little more pop from the 'hulk' windup.  Easy full (75% or so) wedge swings were the biggest boon - felt like Freddie Couples tempo, with massive smash, no effort, greenfinders..

Any tips for hitting a draw from the 'hulk' windup?  Should I be focusing on release, or just angle of attack, or something else?

NVM, Martin..  I figured it out on another viewing - nothing to do with winding, obviously..  I was directing the 'energy' in the wrong direction..  When I direct it in the way you show in the video - wow..  now I'm hitting straight balls out of the driving range..  have never hit one out of the park..    I have never hit the ball with this much 'smash' so easily..  and I might be the world's worst swing  tinkerer.  Thanks for the video.  I know everybody can benefit from the video, but I really think this gives decent mid-cappers whose ballstriking is holding them back the keys to the low-capper kingdom..

How would you rate Martin Ayers video?  I'm thinking about purchasing it.  I don't understand some of his clips on youtube but when I put my right had in the power position I was hitting the ball really straight. I didn't get any more distance but I couldn't miss a shot today.

Any feed back would be appreciated. Thank you.

Good score, if it works..than go for it

Like working on the swing,,score means nothing to me. Might just go to the range and give up playing... ( might happen)

Wish it was that simple..( 5 mins) .. I did his program for a year and couldn't do it. It took me another 6 months working with his #1 prodigy ( via email after email after email and phone call after phone call after call and text after text after text) to finally understand it. I do agree with a lot of it now, but being easy and simple I disagree. We all learn differently, and martins teachings are so radical compared to what is out there. Does it work? Yes.. Will it work for everyone? I would honestly say no..Does it take a lot of relearning and a lot of hard hard work? Yes. He has 2 ways of doing it (standard twirl/ with moving with out moving) , which led to a generation of people missing high and right.. (Alt twirl/ shovel method/ with moving with out moving) which is actually easier to grasp for casual golfers like me. I find a lot of his videos and work ingenious now, but when I was in the program I was confused and frustrated by my lack of getting his info. So 5 minutes is hard for me to believe. Took me almost 2 years..but I at least get it now I understand working against the swing..and moving with out moving concept Still great playing..hope it leads to more good scores for you Chris

Chris, i did not copy his move exactly, but the left wrist and right hand on take away are very close, looking straight ahead and relaxed, my arms move my shoulders and body , the spine is relatively straight up, swing my hands directly at the ball from the top …not complicated at all.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
