The secrets were uncovered
during the late 1920’s when Leslie
King, founding father of the modern swing,
began developing his ideas which formed
the first theory and method of teaching
the golf swing. He wanted to move on from
the imitative tradition of learning and
teaching golf, and decided to apply a more
principled form of analysis to the golf
swing. These principals are at the core
of Swing Factory coaching and unlike Leslie
King who had to rely on his quick eyes
we now have state of the art golf simulators
with video camera interactive teaching
systems. So each student gets a personal
progress folder with video, notes and drills
detailing how to make their perfect swing.
This enables them to self-diagnose and
put things right on the course if they
start to go wrong – golf’s
Holy Grail.

The
image captured from video on the left
is of a pupil swinging ‘before’ receiving
tuition. Notice the hands and club
have moved across the body and are
no longer visible. This action is incorrect
and leads to the dreaded slice that
sadly affects too many golfers and
often ruins their enjoyment of the
game. The second image is the same
position in the swing captured ‘after’ tuition.
This is correct and leads to consistent
powerful straight golf shots. See how
well the student compares to the top
tournament pro on the right. This was
achieved in one lesson because the
coach delivered the best instruction
in the right way.
Whether you are a beginner or a single
figure handicap golfer, whether you are
young or old, The Swing Factory principles
will transform your game.
1.
Line at impact
The club head must be travelling
along the intended line of flight
of the ball through the impact
area.
2.
Square impact
Not only must the club-head swing
'on-line', but it must also be
'square' or at right angles to
the intended line of flight of
the ball through impact and beyond.
3.
Off the middle
The ball must be struck in the
middle of the club face.
Your club-head must
be moving squarely along the intended
line of flight of the ball before
the ball is struck and remain on
that line well after impact. The
longer the club-head remains on
the intended line of flight through
impact, the better. Or to put it
another way, you should aim to
hit the ball for a long time.
This driving forward of the ball
is what produces the long, accurate
shot that can hold its direction
in wind. It is the quality of impact
that compresses the golf ball on
the club face almost like a fried
egg at the moment of impact. This
type of impact leads to powerful,
accurate shot-making and low scores.
In this day and age it
is truthful to say, "We
can build you a golf swing".
Leslie King was doing this in 1954 from
a London basement and still it continues
long after his passing.
