The Golf Swing Is Impossibly Hard

It’s not your fault that your golf game is so frustrating.  The deck is stacked against you, starting with the golf swing.

According to a study conducted by the USGA only one tenth of one percent of male
 golfers shoot par golf consistently.  Only two-and-one-half percent are below a five handicap.  Why is that?…Because the Golf Swing is Impossibly Hard!

We’ve all suspected that was the case but it took the scientific mind of Jack Kuykendal of Kuykendall Golf to discover the cold, undeniable science behind the tyranny of the traditional golf swing.

“These golfers, in great and ever increasing numbers, have gone off to some
 golf course in hopes, really in belief, of improving their golf
game.  They usually fail because they begin with a seriously
 flawed concept: The Traditional Finger-Grip Golf Swing. 

This is 
why the average handicap has remained static for years, even though
 there has been an overabundance of claimed improvements both instruction and club design.



The 
traditional finger grip demands an extremely complex, unnatural swing 
action that masters you, the average player and even 
better-than-average.  You can never master it.



The 
body, arms, hands club head and club face must be rotated on multiple
planes in both the back swing and the downswing.  These completely
 unnatural complex rotary movements make it extremely difficult to
 square the club face consistently at impact.

It
 is especially difficult even for a golfer of the highest proficiency to 
perform this action and square the club face consistently. 

Except
 for this very narrow, exceptionally gifted segment of the world’s 
golfing population and some relatively few others, all of whom have
 worked considerable long and hard at perfecting the impossible to
 perfect, it is extremely difficult to perform this complex motion and
square the club face consistently while it is moving at close to 100 
miles an hour.



Any
golfer is allowed about two degrees of club face error when hitting a
golf ball and trying to keep it in the fairway.  Not to hit it
 where it is exactly intended to go, but just to keep the ball somewhere
in the fairway.

 

Statistics
 show only 1% of golfers blessed with world class tempo and timing,
 and have at least 5 hours a day to practice, can regularly play at par 
or better.”



No wonder we’re all frustrated.  Thanks Prof. Jack.
