The Cost/Benefit Analysis
There is a very useful method that many accountants use called
"The cost/benefit analysis". You may be familiar with it. The
analysis is done to cut the company costs that do not provide a
specific benefit. It's done on all the different costs of the
company, and then the accountants can then analyze which costs
provide a lot of benefit, versus which costs provide little
benefit. Then quite simply, the costs that provide little
benefit are cut.
The golf swing is really quite complicated. The reason that I
wrote "The Simple Golf Swing" was to get rid of all the
unnecessary movements that end up causing many golfers trouble.
To do this, I applied the cost/benefit method, but I did it in
golf terms.
Just as an example, we'll use the wrist cock. In analyzing the
golf swing, I found that the wrist cock at the top of one's
backswing, produced great results for a few golfers. However,
for the vast majority of golfers, it actually proved to cause
MANY inconsistencies.
So it was simply cut out of "The Simple Golf Swing". That may
sound too simple of a solution, but it really works. You'd be
amazed at the consistency that is added by removing this one
small move. See, the difference is that golf magazines or
videos, want you to spend countless hours of your time
correcting this small move. You would have many disappointing
rounds if you tried to do that. It's simply not worth it for
most golfers.
I agree that you must have a significant wrist cock to compete
on the professional tour. However, it has been proven to me many
times over that you do not need a wrist cock to hit the ball 250
down the middle of the fairway. You do not need that extra 40-60
yards that professionals need. All you need to break 80 is to be
able to hit the ball 220-250 yards down the middle of the
fairway. More importantly, you need to be able to do this every
time.
Other examples of what you could easily cut out of your swing
would be the following:
- Lateral (horizontal) movement to achieve the proper weight
transfer - All lower body conscious movements. (The Simple Golf
Swing will help you to make the correct lower body movements
happen automatically, and cut out all the unnecessary actions) -
Extended backswing
Those are just a few examples. The list goes on and on, but the
point of all this is that "Simple is Better" for the vast number
of golfers. I could write forever on this subject, but I won't
take up all your time. If you would like to see the simple
method I've been talking about please check out "The Simple Golf
