  Been using this method for several weeks now and it has sorted - a club path that was too much from inside to out , width in whole swing,  no flipping at impact, now with right hand under and assisted by trigger finger pressure point, Can swing to the left with chest - thanks all , appreciated.

  Thanks for this one guys. I've been an A swinger since the book first came out and met David when I attended his facility in Orlando. I said excitedly, "David I've read your book 3 times", to which he smiled and with characteristic Leadbetter deadpan humour said "That's more than I've read it." What a great coach he is. I like that he has a general framework that (for me) has proven effective, but doesn't try to force every golfer into a rigid mold.   It's such a simple swing that I have the confidence, as Jodi mentioned, to be able to fix myself out on the course when things start going wrong.

  I have been playing for nearly 30 years and have been down to a 4 handicap. But over the years I have been struggling with a pull and a pull hook so as I was not enjoying the game anymore I stopped. I bought The A swing book about two years ago when it first came out. Went out on the range and thought OMG this is not for me!  around 3 weeks ago I saw something on YouTube that struck a cord with me as I am one of these people that try study the golf swing. I have read lots of books particularly John Jacobs Practical Golf. In it he says that let the ball be your teacher so by seeing my  straight pulls and pull hooks I realized that my clubface was aiming left as well as an out to in path which matched. With my pull hooks I was correcting to an inside path and a closed club face! Amateurs myself included suffer from our arms and bodies being out of sink and manipulating the club face with our hands. We also flip the club inside our hands and go back shallow which makes most of us come back too steep on the downswing. This causes 95% of us weekend warriors to slice and pull and wiff our way around leaving us in total frustration!  OK long story short I had a light bulb moment when I reread the A swing as Leadbetter states that by going back steeper you will automatically come back shallower. This makes golf easier and a lot more fun. I used to blow hot and cold ..When my timing was on I could shoot under 80. But more often than not the next time was a lottery as I could then shoot anywhere between a 92 and 85! I was like a lot of people out there an anti Leadbetter proponent but after going to the range and working through the initial moves which will seem strange at first. I went out and shot a 72 and the next time a 78. I have never shot two consecutive rounds in the 70's so a total surprise. I am hitting the ball basically on a string most of the time with a little draw which I have never been able to do as well as at least two to three clubs longer and solid out of the middle of the club face. Please don't poo poo the A swing if you are battling for consistency like most of us give it a good go get the book..Commit to it for at least a good period of time. They say the definition of madness is "keep doing what you doing and you will keep getting what you getting" At least here one has a blue print and a direction. You may well just thank me in the long run:)

  Interesting that another stick training aid, the “blue brick”, requires you to swing under the alignment stick. David’s setup has you swing over the stick.
