The flexibility of a shaft is referred to as flex, or bend. The less the bend in a shaft, the more control the powerful swinger will have. On the other hand, beginners and those with less powerful swings generally use a shaft with greater flexibility. …

First off, THANK GOD (and you) for PPGS! I’m 62 years old and have played golf off and on for 35 years or so; been as low as a 7 handicap, but never lower than a 14 since age 50. As with most older golfers, I was suffering more and more pain in my shoulders and lower back the more I played. Worse yet, I saw my game steadily deteriorating–30-50 yards had come off almost every club in the bag and despite a new round of lessons, it only got worse. I found your website, and the “don’t come in unless you’re frustrated as hell” hit me right between the eyes. I was on the verge of giving up a game I dearly love forever.

I decided what the hell, it’s only money, and bought your DVD program last Thursday. I watched it all that evening, and headed for the range to try it out Friday. The SECOND swing, I hit a 7 iron further, straighter, and more crisply than I’d hit one in months! I found that every club was responding. To me, it was nothing short of a miracle–and here’s the kicker. I played 36 holes over the weekend, with another 4 buckets of range balls thrown in, and for the first time in months, I had NO PAIN in my left shoulder or lower back. Thank you for making golf FUN again. Needless to say, I’m a believer and look foward to spreading the word to anyone I know who’s struggling as I had been doing. There’s still lots of work to do to get my full potential back, but now at least I know it’s achievable. Thanks again. Jack Gentle

Okay, here are my guesses er… suggestions as to what you might look for in your swing application by virtue of answering the following questions….

Are you moving your head laterally to any great degree?
Is there any lifting of your head (and shoulders) in the backswing?
Does your right arm have a more than necessary bend at the top of the swing?
Does your left leg start to straighten when you initiate the take away?
Do you allow gravity to take over on the downswing by way of the “bump?”
At the top, besides your left shoulder, is there anything else drifting into the “Sacred Burial Ground?

Get thee to a mirror or a camera!
