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.
