1 The Old School Power Golf move for more powerful and accurate golf shots Transform your Golf Game forever with Old School Power Golf

2 Harry Vardon who has been called the Grand Father of modern Golf was born May 9 th 1870 in New Jersey, one of 6 boys and 2 girls in his family. He grew up the son of working class parents in semi-rural New Jersey who had the good fortune of living right next to one of the first premier golf courses built on the east coast of the United States. At the age of 7 Harry watched as construction crews surveyed and built the tees, fairways and green of the Royal Jersey Golf Club. So from the age of 7 years old young Harry became a student of the game of golf and his development of the fundamentals of golf are in some opinions single handedly responsible for the growth of golf into the modern game that it is today. The Vardon grip is still widely used by many golf pros today, and of course the Vardon trophy is still awarded to the golfer who has the lowest scoring average for the entire season. So it s of little wonder that the fundamentals that Harry Vardon established back in the 1800 s are still of consequence today. What follows is the one golf move that will help all players to hit the golf ball with power and consistency, improve their swing and lower their scores. This one single move is based on specific principals that involve using the power of LEVERAGE in the golf swing. It s LEVERAGE that the top notch golfer uses for effortless power to maximize distance and shoot lower scores. Most amateur players do not know how to use this power, many play for years and years and never really understand how to use the golf club as a LEVER to hit the best shots of their lives.

3 While the golf swing is made up of many different parts there are several principals that must be followed in order in cause the golf ball to fly a certain way. Now with that being said the simplest way for you to hit the golf ball with explosive power with laser like accuracy is to use LEVERAGE I YOUR SWI G The single most important component in delivering all the power possible to the golf ball is the proper use of the wrist cock. While it may not sound like it could have such a profound effect on your golf swing, using your wrists the correct way in the golf swing will give you the power and consistency your looking for. Harry Vardon say s The power in your swing is delivered to the ball through your hands, and your hands are controlled by your wrists. This program is designed to help you FEEL AND LEARN HOW TO USE A CORRECT WRIST COCK and to incorporate this feeling into your swing as a whole. While this is only one part of the golf swing, if you master this one single move you will harness the power of LEVERAGE and be more consistent and accurate as well. Please use this e-book as a work book and take it with you to the range so

4 you can do the Power Swing Exercises properly. Changing your golf swing can be one of the most difficult things to do, especially if you have been playing golf for a long time and your swing thoughts and habits are deeply rooted. To get the very most from these 4 exercises take 1 hour of time and go to the practice range, do the exercises and then immediately go to play a round of golf. Another good recommendation that we have had great success with is to use the Backward Break move as a waggle before your hit a shot. Using the Hinge as a Waggle will help you stay focused on the feeling to develop and change your swing habits quicker.

5 Power Swing Exercise #1 Backward Break Move : {Right Handed Golfer} This is called an Early backward wrist break. This is where your power will come from! It WILL FEEL VERY DIFFERENT BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, YOU WILL HIT THE BALL WITH TREMENDOUS POWER IF YOU FOLLOW THIS SWING You must go to the range and practice these swing moves before you try it on the course.

6 Grip the golf club {Use a 5 iron} as you normally would, and set it down in the center of your stance. Read the description of the move in fig. 13A Feel your wrists and hands hinge BACKWARD as shown in 13A. If you roll your left wrist as in 13B you will open the club face and hit a weak shot to the right! You MUST follow the 13A diagram. Now your first exercise is to move the club to the inside as in 13A by using only your wrists. This will feel totally wrong at first but you need to make this move correctly to be in the proper position at the top of your back swing.

7 Practice this inside back ward break until you can do it perfectly without looking at your hands. The feeling you feel with this Hinge is the key to un-told power in all your golf shots. The proper use of a Wrist cock in the Golf swing is what set s the average golfers apart from the great ball strikers. This is what you should see as you look down when you make the Backward break

8 This is a side view of the backward break done correctly, if done right you should not be able to see any of the face of the club. The club comes backward and inside, you simply rotate up to the top while maintaining the Wrist cock and you will be in the correct position for maximum power and Accuracy. Begin by Pressing the heel of the right hand on the knuckle of the thumb of the left hand, the left hand will slightly rotate down and under. This single move if done correctly will help you to generate tremendous leverage in your golf swing to Blast the ball with total accuracy.

9 This is a side view of the backward break done WRO G, notice how the club face is WIDE OPE, do this and it will Kill all your power.

10

11 Power Swing exercise #2 -Rotate to the top. Once you master the Backward break wrist cock, simply rotate to the top of your back swing. You MUST maintain the wrist cock at the top of your swing. If your left wrist collapses you will lose the proper club face orientation and hit the ball weakly to the right. Notice the complete shoulder turn in the diagram

12 Power Swing exercise #3- Feel the shoulder turn A proper shoulder turn and swing width is critical to un-leashing the stored power in your swing. To feel the proper shoulder turn and swing width, take your normal address position with no club, make a fist and Jab your left hand {for right handed players} toward your right side. You will again FEEL the proper swing width and shoulder turn. By doing this exercise you will develop the feeling of a proper shoulder turn and how to load your right side with stored energy.

13 Power Swing exercise #4: Hinge and rotate Hinge and rotate: Hinge your wrists with a backward break for a proper wrist cock as in Exercise #1 Then rotate to a ¾ swing keeping your wrists in the hinged position. A good check point at the ¾ position is your right elbow should be over your right hip. From the ¾ position you then have a straight path to the top of your back swing. From the ¾ position simply move to the top of your back swing while keeping your wrist hinge in place. ow you have a direct line to the top of your back swing, simply continue to rotate from ¾ to the top. Can you feel the stored energy? ow simply un-wind your swing and fire through the hitting zone and your golf ball will absolutely explode off your club.

14 To strike the ball like Harry Vardon and get maximum distance with every club in your bag, you need to harness the power of leverage. It s LEVERAGE that provides the power in golf not brute strength. Although it doesn t hurt if you are big and strong and in great Golf shape when it comes to hitting the Golf ball a long way. Practice and groove these swing exercises so the Wrist Cock becomes a natural part of your golf swing. Do this, and you ll never have to buy the drinks again after your round. I hope you Enjoy blasting drives, throwing Darts with your Iron s and Dominating your golf crew with your new Old school Golf Swing and your newly found Old school power! Thank you and enjoy playing the very best golf of your life!
