Occasionally, over the course of my instruction career, I have taken a break from publishing anything about my research or instruction. I take the time to evaluate every section of my system. What works, what does not, but most important what do not I understand. This time it took much longer to work through.
This past year has been one of those times. Late last year I was introduced to bio-mechanical concepts put forward by Mike Adams and Terry Rowles. The concepts, called the Ultimate Golf Lesson Screens, identify physical characteristics in a combination unique to every player. I am in no way qualified to explain in detail how they work. I will only say pertaining to putting their application has been a game changer!
On a side note, if you are an instructor or player who wants to understand the swing better, you must investigate these concepts. Regardless of any theory or method you believe, you are going to understand it better with this information.
Luckily for me it was a perfect mesh with the 9 Profiles. Perfect. Biomechanics dictate set up. Set up dictates stroke path. Match movement patterns to setup, pick a putter that is balanced to the defined stroke. Also lucky for me I have had the opportunity to work with some top instructors to test the system. I want to thank all my clients, who continue to work with me applying and testing the system
I have always used this blog as a form of peer review. Take the concepts I am working through and put them out to the public. I will continue to do so. So, I hope that those who have visited this blog over the year will continue to do so.
To my past and current clients there will be an update to the Reference Guide coming very soon, that will be emailed to you upon completion. There are 3 Guides now. How to define your Best Stroke. Putter Fitting to the Definition. Putting Strategies. I will be using Zoom or FaceTime to provide an open forum for my clients to discuss, argue and defend the concepts presented. I am also going to be offering putters built to match the system. The first 10 prototypes are finished. If you interested in participating by getting one and working with me on getting the correct fit, please reach out.
If you are interested in becoming a client either as a player or instructor, feel free to reach out as well. I have some openings and would enjoy working with you.
Finally, a word of gratitude to Mike Adams, Terry Rowles, Josh Zander, and Brett Freeman for allowing me to collaborate with you and sharing your students with me. It has been a blast and I hope we can continue working toward breaking the putting code. We are close.
