7 years of on/off use Gravity Golf drills

About 7 years ago, I started playing golf by going through a traditional PGA professional. I was in high school at the time, so I also tried out for the high school golf time - not suprisingly, I didn't make the team. That summer, I saw an infomercial on the Gravity Golf Videos and was immediately interested (good marketing). When I saw the book in a local golf equipment store, I bought it and applied it's drills. The next year, I tried out for the golf team again and the other players and the coaches noticed how much better my swing was and how much farther the ball would travel on drives. While I was still far from being the best player on the team, I was most certainly the longest driver. The meat and potatoes part of the book is most certainly the swing drills. The chapter before hand on the theory behind the "gravity swing" is very interesting but not necessary to gain something from the book. For somebody who wants to get straight to the heart, I'd recommend skipping the first few chapters and reading the "gravity swing" chapter and onward. In essence of learning the "gravity swing" is through proprioception (a.k.a. muscle memory). In a nutshell it means learning to swing a golf club through drills. In the end, this method teaches a swing that has a lot of power but lacks control. Most of the time I can hit a predictable shot, but if I get off slightly the ball could end up anywhere (which is what kept me from doing well on the high school golf team). All in all, I'm a casual golfer and do enjoy it when I can hit a really long ball while playing a round to impress my collegues. The book really has everything you need, and despite what the book may tell you, the videos are not necessary to gain a full understanding of the process of gravity golf. For somebody looking for distance at the expense of control and some bizzare looking drills, I'd recommend this book.

amazing

This comes from a 40 year old overweight third year hacker, who couldnt break 100 with a hammer. In one month of doing the gravity golf drills i was shooting in the ninties (do to lack of short game) hitting the ball incredibly well. 4 people including a pro told me my swing looked better. It felt better my confidence is up i should be in the eighties in no time. I have tried every training aid and type of instruction there is and nothing comes close to the gravity system. Send me an e-mail for further updates.

Gravity Golf really works!

Gravity Golf really works! This book is chock-full of information on the most energy-efficent way to swing a golf club. I've read this book many, many times and the more you read it and do the practice drills, the more you will understand the information that David Lee presents. Also, the video tapes that Lee sells from his infomercials and web site are helpful in understanding the training system.Ernie Els and Fred Couples are "pure gravity" players. Many, many of the other top money winners on the PGA Tour are graviy players too. The problem is that most of these first-class golfers know how to swing using the Gravity Golf "mechanisim", but these golfers have difficulty explaining how they hit the golf ball so far and straight with so little effort using this mechainism. David Lee has developed the traing system to learn how to swing like Els and Couples. This book must be re-read many, many times in conjunction with the practice drills. The video tapes that David Lee sells are helpful too. The best of all, go to a Gravity Golf school. Then, read and re-read the book and the Gravity Golf system will become crystal clear. I belive that twenty years from now, this teaching methodology will be the "industry standard" way that golfers will trained--novice to Tour caliber. Many "copy-cat" golf instructors have already adopted many of the teaching techniques originally developed by David Lee.Be prepared to allocate the time to hit many practice balls. Golf will become fun and practice, using the drills, will become informative. You will learn how and why good shots happen and why bad shots happen. The Gravity Golf system is not an instant miricle, but it is the "real thing", when it comes to the golf swing. I am a Gravity Golf believer!

The Nicklaus Swing for Dummies

If you read Jack Nicklaus' books about his swing technique and didn't quite get it, take a look at Gravity Golf. It clarifies Jack's ambiguities beautifully and fills in a lot of the physics in laymen's terms. Best of all are the 4 effective practice drills for getting your subconsious brain to "program" the correct swing for you. My main swing thought nowadays is "don't think". (One caveat: The first 3 chapters are a tad lame. Don't give up on it without reading chapters 4, 5, and 6 where the gold is.)

Gravity Golf is indeed effortless

Reading about and visualizing the type of mechanics that David describes is the fresh approach to a solid and consistent golf swing that everyone needs. His approach to the components of the golf swing are truly amazing, and the simplicity with which they can be executed is even more amazing.
