Dan, From the activegolf.com site I have been playing golf for the last 20 years. I started golf late in life. Over the course of time, I had the opportunity to take lessons from what the golf community considered the best of the best instructors. I read books on the golf swing and subscribed to golf magazines and membership sites, all with the objective of finding the perfect swing. I was searching for a repeatable swing and for instruction that made perfect sense. I wanted to understand the golf swing and cause and effect. I am very analytical, critical, rational and diligent in researching any topic. I would like to share with those of you who are still searching for a better golf swing that I have finally found the best and most knowledgeable golf teacher around . Dan Shauger in my opinion is a gifted instructor who understands the golf swing and can explain it better than any other person whom I know. I am really blessed to have read his material and taken lessons from him. I improved my golf striking abilities after only two lessons. I am not only able to strike the ball farther and straighter but I also now understand the game and have learned the real secrets to a repeatable and powerful swing. Dan also taught me secrets of the short game that make it so much easier to score from 80 yards in. I have seldomly in life recommended anything. I am very private. But in this case, I am touched by Dan's willingness to share with the golfing public years of work and discovery, a lot of it from Mike Austin. I did take lessons from Mike on a number of occasions. But I must admit that he was very difficult to understand at times and impatient to say the least. Dan is really gifted as a teacher. He is able to convey critical information exceptionally well. Trust me. Try him. You will never be the same again. Paul email pnsaleh@gmail.com BOOK REVIEWS The 21st Century Golf Swing Simple & effective; easy on the back, April 10, 2007
Senior golfer - Mr D Mann - Australia, March 14, 2007 Great Golf Swing - Distance and Accuracy, A great follow-on book to "How to Kill the Ball". Teaches an athletic swing with distance and accuracy that is easy on the body. Seniors will love this method. Get the books and DVDs, work on the swing and you will continually thank yourself as you hit the ball further and further and staighter with little effort. At a pro tournament last year I was amazed at the different sound their ball makes coming off their drivers at the range. I'm now generating the same sound and results with this swing! In my opinion is that Dan is the number 1 golf teacher in the world! I will be forever grateful. Congratultions Mr Shauger. Between this and your previous book "How to Kill The Ball", you are revolutionising the golf swing. HOW TO KILL THE BALL Really helps understand some important aspects of the MA swing, I have had the peace river tape for about four years. Until I read this book, I never really fully comprehended the throwing the club intricacies. After reading this book and ordering the accompaning DVD, I finally tried out the swing at the driving range last night. I really enjoyed the crack sound of the driver as the ball took off. I am eagerly anticipating taking this swing to the course and further perfecting the swing over the next few months. The only way to play golf! Reviewer: Michael Tillison "Michael" (Colorado) I've been playing golf for 40 years and as I've gotten into my 50s I've lost distance and the game was becoming difficult. I was about ready to give up the game when I discovered Dan's book. I've been working on the swing as taught in the book for about 5 months now and the difference is amazing. Driver from weak 225 yards to booming 275 in the air. 150 yard club from 6 iron to 9 iron. This swing's release makes accuracy easy. This swing is very easy on the body. His follow-on book "The 21st Century Golf Swing" expands on the swing principles. If you want to get good at this game, get the books and DVDs and spend some time! You will be delighted.
Congratultions Mr Shauger. Between this and the new book "The Golfswing of The 21st Century", you are revolutionising the golf swing. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Recommend Highly I am a low handicap golfer, having played the game for over 40 years (53 yrs. old). I constantly work on my strength and flexibility to try and maintain a semblance of my youthful distance and scoring ability. With conventional instruction, I just seemed to be spinning my wheels. The "Mike Austin Method" as described and taught by Dan Shauger has got me excited about golf again! The character and trajectory of my shots when I "get it right" is truly amazing--the ball travels like it was shot out of a cannon!! It's winter, and it seems every day I have off, it's raining; so I've only been able to hit balls a few times since I've adapted the method, but I'm very excited about the season ahead. Clarifying some confusion I want to comment on the contradiction pointed out between Dan's book and other reference materials about Mike Austin's swing. For example, the Austinology tapes and the Peaceriver tapes both indicate Austin rolled the club through impact...which he did before his stroke. Dan's materials mention a counter-rotation of the wrists in order to keep the club squarer longer. This contradiction is because in the last several years of his life (after his stroke and after he made all his other materials) Austin changed his viewpoints on how the hands should work. Dan's teachings do indeed refect the most current method that Mike taught. But unless you were actually physically with Mike during that time period like I was, you might think think that Dan's materials are incorrect. I hope this helps clarify the discrepancy. Also, having personally known both Dan and Austin, I can vouch for Dan's tremendous understanding of how Austin swung. Dan was a close personal friend of Austin's for around 20 years, is a fantastic teacher, and his knowledge of Austin's swing is second to none in my opinion. His book does have grammatical errors, however I encourage everyone to look past the appearance and presentation of the materials, and dig in and actually digest what Dan says. There is great value to be found within. :-) Not contradictory The book has a few unfortunate editorial errors in it, but overall it is an impressive explanation of a truly unique golf swing. The claim by another reviewer saying this material has been covered before in "Search for the Perfect Swing" by Cochran and Stobbs is not accurate. That book discusses very briefly a hinged wrist motion that is not the same as Shauger explains. The counter rotating wrist action described in "How to Kill the Ball" puts the club face on a completely different swing plane than the double pendulum motion discussed by Cochran and Stobbs. Further Shauger discusses in a fair amount of detail the twirling of the wrist in a "spinning of the meatballs" action that is not in "Search for the Perfect Swing". If you read Philip Reed's, "In Search of the Greatest Swing" it is clear that Mike Austin developed the hinged wrist and club twirling method. This method is different than the method Mike Austin taught in the past in collaboration with Mike Dunaway. Dan Shauger is teaching the later developed system. My person experience with learning this method is a positive one. It is not prone to lost balls and hitting fat, those occur when the swing circle moves before hitting the ball or an improper pivot motion. When executed correctly the ball goes dead straight with a long and high carry. When you feel the club head release through the ball you know it is go and go. The hinged release with left arm counter rotation works well August 4, 2005 This book is an instructional guide to the swing technique of legendary long driver Mike Austin, and his champion proteges Mike Dunaway and Jaacob Bowden. The swing, while unorthodox in several ways, appears very "normal" at speed, so no worries about looking goofy. I've been working on it for a couple weeks now. I'm very happy with the Austin release action and counter rotation of the left forearm. It is much more comfortable than the conventional "baseball" rollover release. More importantly, I have much less unplanned curvature in my shots now. (Note: The neutral grip position happens to match what I was using before. It may feel more unusual to those coming from stronger grips.) I'm docking the book a star for general lack of editing polish. It has a home-published feel, many misspelled words, and the diagrams could be greatly improved by an artist. The information itself, however, is excellent. It's well thought out with plenty of detail, and fairly well organized. This is one powerful way to swing If you really want to kill the ball, get this book. this is not your standard traditional golf swing, just flip through the book and you will see what i mean, but please start at the the beginning and no skipping around, just hang in there and you will be rewarded with one powerfull golf swing, Testimonials i purchased the whole kit and kabootle just a month ago and i cant tell you how pleased i am ...im hitting the ball farther and straighter then i have in 40 years of golfing, i been reading the books and watching the videos and praticting with the little club in the house and going to the range a few days a week. just wanted to thank you. i took so many lessons in my life spending thousands of dollars and nothing compared to what i learned from your books and videos Hi Dan, Can't thank you enough for all the help this past week......You cleared up some key points for me. Before i left on Friday, i was starting to really get it...throughout the bag....hit the back net on the fly three or four times...if that is only 260 I'd be surprised....but it could be the balls just don't carry off the driver......though my pure 9 irons were flying over that 148 yd green......and everything seemed very effortless.....i know it will seep into my swing more and more and my speed will get better. Take good care...Joel Waldman Dan, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your books, dvds and unmatched ability I feel that I have learned a golf system where everything taught is an Thank you so much! Jim Hello again Dan !. Jean-Pierre Raynauld Dan, I have no doubt that I have purchased the most complete work of Mr. Austin's swing to date!! Thank You!! Johnny Cho Dear Dan, I read or watch everything that comes out just for fun and ocassionally see something that that re-inforces something I knew but hadn't given sufficient weight or rarely bump into something that makes me think and change my interpretation. I am a physician so understand anatomy and physics and have helped many many golfers to understand and improve their "classic" golf swings. If I could afford to, I would quit medicine and get involved with golf teaching. I give all of this background because I am astounded by what I saw. I had no idea how revolutionary this is.Your swing in addition to using the wrists completely differently (not to mention the weight shift) doesn't use a lifting of the arms which trying to force has given me nightmares. I was so stunned I don't know if I even saw everything on the tape, but the LATE unwinding of the midbody is brilliant. Anyway I write to thank you for your efforts I give you great credit for turning Mr. Austins words into something concrete in just a few minutes. I remember him discussing the weight shifts and head position just like you do, but when he said throw the clubhead I really had no idea what he meant and I didn't get the impression of the unique motions of the wrists and elbows from him. Thankyou for giving me a whole new process to explore. I won't bother you further unless I take the plunge and find myself a plus three and then you can use me for a testimonial. George Petro Rocky Kinsey (rock28man@aol.com) You Really Can Kill it and Still Find it! For more than 10 years I have been in search of a better way to hit the golf ball. I have trained under several well know techniques and with nationally known teaching pros. My search is over. In How to Kill the Ball Dan Shauger makes power possible for anyone willing to spend the time to learn the Mike Austin method. Dan lays out in great detail all you need to know to hit the greatest golf shots of your life. Not only will you have more power than you ever felt possible, the ball flies straight and true. In three months of working with Dan's book and the Mike Austin techniques my ball striking is better than I ever dreamed it could be. In the past I have tried unsuccessfully to play some of the mini tours in Florida. In the past my swing has not held up under the pressure. In three months my shot making and scoring are becoming more and more consistent and I am breaking new ground everyday. I know I will continue to improve and pursue my dream of playing professional golf. In closing I want to add that I have hit three drives over 340 yards and seen the yardages of all my irons go up as well. If you order this book and follow its principles you will not believe what will happen in your golf swing. Good Luck and Hit IT LONGGGGGERRRRRRRRRRR A Must Read For Any Serious Golfer Reviewer: Peter Bampton (Richmond, VA) How to "Kill" the Ball is the most complete explaination of how to generate power and accuracy in the golf swing. This is a huge undertaking, and Dan Shauger has a definte "hole in one"! After reading this book, I finally "got" the golf swing . My pitching wedge immediately went from 100 yards to 110 yards. After six months, I am hitting my pitching wedge 130 yards. Don't kid yourself, turning understanding into a golf swing takes time and effort. However, Dan is helpful and will answer your questions. This book is a complete recipe for creating a powerful and accurate swing. I would recommend that you also purchase the accompaning DVD to see the concept in action. Being that golf swing is three dimensional, the video gives an excellent supplement to the book's instruction. Kudos to Dan Shauger Reviewer: John Marshall I am a professional long drive competitor and am always looking for ways to hit longer and more solid shots. I purchased Dan Shauger's book last fall and was blown away by how unique his method is compared to everything I've ever read and learned about the golf swing. In Dan's swing you break many of the cardinal rules of the swing that have been preached for centuries. In my case, I gave the method a try and am now hitting longer, straigher drives consistently. Since studying the method I have become the National Super Senior long driving Champion for 2 consecutive years. i nnovative, informative...may turn to be influential, too. Reviewer: M. Bendel "bendm" (Richmond, VA) A lot of teaching in here that I've never seen before or that goes against most "conventional" wisdom. Directions are clearly explained. Examples are clear throughout and quite comprehensive. Learning is presented in a way that makes sense (start small, building skills gradually) and that also works for short game (chipping and pitching). The DVD by the same name makes a great companion piece. Can't give it five stars (yet) because I haven't taken it out to the range and given myself time to absorb it. DAN, Your book is awesome and I look forward to meeting you. Regards, Gary Sanati Brillant, well thought out, simply outstanding work Reviewer: Rosser "001" "Chaz" (Michigan) How to Kill the Ball, by Dan Shauger. Well lets start by saying Thanks Dan! Bravo. You are the only one that has brought the Austin method to the fore front. I have known Mike Austin for some time now, and he is a tough cookie to break for the real truth of the golf swing, and you have done an outstanding job of showing through illustration, words and pictures. You are the only one that I have found that truly knows this Method, and the more I read this book, the more I know that you are the one that I would trust with my swing to learn this method. I can say this read was very enjoyable, fun and brought back a few laughs that I had with my talks with Mike Austin. Your words where chosen splendidly, through out the book. The truth be told, this method as good as it get, breaks ground from the old traditional method that has plagued so many into the wrongs of how to swing a golf club. What I find so unique is that you leave everyone the opportunity to speak to you or email you for any help one might need, that is rare, and you are to be commended. I have heard your pupil Jaacob has been granted sponsorship for one of the tours, nice work. Nobody said it was going to be easy, only with this method you now have the rights to the correct way to swing a golf club. So much Confidence one will gain from your book and from your on going assistance. You are truly a special person, Thanks a million. You have made my job so much easier. Peace my friend. Chuck Dan, I read you book "How to Kill the Ball, The Formula for Power and Accuracy"and found it to be well written and very educational. Great book and keep up the good work. Thank you. Allan Alexander Hi Dan, Jim Danny, You did a great job on the book, you are to be commended, super work. Thanks Chuck Ross Dan, You might become very busy soon as the word gets out. Looking forward to seeing you again soon, Phil Reed, Author of the book, In Search of the Greatest Swing. Hi Dan, Well, my swing keeps improving. I'm just starting to get the release timed and when I do, the results are incredible. I really like the movement you teach and wouldn't go back - it's much easier - I'm trying to figure out an excuse to come out your way (I'm in Houston) and get a lesson. Thanks, Jim Owen Dan, Thanks a lot for the great service. Tony Ragland Dear Dan, Your book and DVD are great. I've reduced by rounds by 8 to 10 stroke in just two weeks. Richard Munsterman Dan, Tony Ragland Hi Dan, Thanks again, Tom Nichol Hi Dan, I am hitting shots with accuracy and distance I and my playing partners are amazed at. I am making great progress. Rocky Kinsey Thanks Dan, Hi Dan, Majestic height with increases length. I just wanted to thank you for your previous advice and to let you know that I've seen the light and have become a convert ! Richie Hi Dan, It's been 2 weeks since I committed myself to Mike Austin's methodology & surprisingly, I am still on the path to Killing the golf ball.I have been playing for 46 years & have maintained a 5 handicap. When I first took up the game I read "square to square in pictures" which advocated a curling under of the last 3 fingers of the left hand. I grooved this move perfectly which subsequently closed the clubface etc. This move became an unconscious move which I could not eliminate! (a la Charles Barkley) My misses were either pulled low left or thin right. Voila your book condones and applauds this action. So far my ball flight has become significantly higher for my short irons with a 5-8 yard increase in distance(driver increase 10-15 yds) . Thanx Richie Sherman Hi Dan, Thanks for the book and tape!! I cannot put it down. I will give Mike Austin and you (Dan) a real effort in respect to learning and applying this incredible swing. I have fought and sometimes progressed with the "roller coaster swing action". But sometimes it feels as though my swing (PGA swing) timing will vanish in a heart beat, leaving me feeling empty and not knowing why it cannot make a solid straight shot. Anyway I will be in touch as I learn and apply the Mr. Austin swing in the months coming. Sincerely, Trevor Mellish
After reading your book and watching your video, it immediately became clear to me that this made sense. I tried it the next day on the course and shot my best front side 9. It felt great! I kind of collapsed on the back cause I was tired and started to blend the two styles together and mainly do arm swings. But my lack of focus and limited practice of the method was the problem. It was only the first day! Dan, And they just keep coming, I stopped posting them because it just gets redundant |
