Your Effort-Free Solution to Great Balance and
Solid Ball Contact
                                    By Rick Semple

A real-life golf instructional book that gets to the heart of better balance, solid contact and significant, lasting golf swing improvement

Stop trying so hard to stay balanced and force the timing of your swing and start tuning in to the key feelings and mental golf ideas that promote connection, confidence, and consistency.

This book gave me some fresh, new insight into improving balance that made so much sense and is quite practical and do-able.

This book spoke to me like a real-life golf lesson and was just what I needed to hear. The rotation drill is really great. Thanks! - B. Keating, recreational golfer, Alexandria, VA

When it comes to your golf swing, do you have habitual "trying tendencies" to help your balance, power, and tempo such as:

  • Continually trying new swing methods
  • Trying to manually "time" your weight shift together with the action of swinging the club
  • Trying to move your upper body more aggressively in order to swing "harder" or "better"
  • Trying to use more physical exertion to hit farther
  • Trying to make big, long backswings in search of power
  • Continually trying to stay balanced
  • Trying to "help" the swing with your body motion
  • Trying to manually create speed

But with all the trying in your golf swing improvement, do you still experience problematic symptoms in your balance and your swing such as:

  • Getting too fast too soon
  • Having trouble getting a crisp feeling at impact
  • Not getting solid ball contact
  • Losing your footing
  • Feeling wobbly on your left (or right) foot
  • Having a choppy motion in the swing
  • Not getting a nice finish

YOU CAN GET OFF THE "TRYING TREADMILL" THAT KEEPS LEADING YOU TO FRUSTRATION AND INSTEAD USE AN EFFORT-FREE APPROACH THAT PROMOTES BETTER BALANCE, SOLID CONTACT AND SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER GOLF SWING IMPROVEMENT.

The key to great balance and solid ball contact is more subtle than overtly trying. It is small changes rather than big moves. It is tuning in to awareness and feeling rather than just trying to "rip it." It is a mental and physical "blended" approach rather than a purely mechanical one. And it is explained here in this golf instructional book in a real-life, straightforward style that makes sense and gets results.

This new golf instructional book is like standing in on a series of golf lessons on balance that guide you every step of the way.

The "Impact" Connection is written in the same unique, enjoyable and effective golf lesson format as Rick's popular book, "Swing Power" - The Stress-Free Solution for More Distance. In these lessons, fictional teaching pro, Harold Coulter guides his student, Stan, along the way to golf swing improvement. You get to "listen in" as Stan gets step-by-step guidance and insight on his path to understanding and making the most of balance and connection. You, too, get drills, tips, and instructions, along with Stan, that lead to effective change. The conversations between Harold and Stan are chock-full of real-life wisdom that will change your mental golf mindset and your physical approach, just like they did for Stan. Here are some key ideas that Harold passes along to Stan and to you, too, with plenty of straightforward explaination:

  • A high center of gravity golfer swings with his upper body, leaving his lower body with the task of keeping up with the action. A golfer who swings from a lower mental center of gravity feels a more intimate connection between his swing motion and the grounded foundation which continuously supports it.
  • The way to establish a stronger connection with your lower body foundation is through greter awareness of its supporting presence both before and during the swing motion. Greater awareness of a stable foundation is brought about by feeling it more. Small, easy-to-accomplish changes in your address posture can potentially make a world of difference in this regard.
  • Feeling a consistent level of weight pressure on your left foot during your swing is your physical and mental "ground level" connection" to impact. Consistent weight pressure equates to a consistent balance point.
  • The root cause of tension is in your mind. Tension can manifest either "overtly" (where you feel definite muscular or nervous tension) or "covertly" (you're tight but you're not aware of it). Both forms tend to restrict your freedom of motion.
  • Trying to relax or stay balance can indicate the presence of tension. Being relaxed and balanced indicates a state of freedom.
  • You can learn to be relaxed and balanced when you learn a motion which by its nature is balanced.
  • Pre-setting your weight and hands forward teaches you the feeling (and the benefits) of leading the clubhead through impact - a key to solid ball striking.
  • When and if you experience difficulty, return to and practict the rotation drill, which reaquaint you with the right feelings of balance and core rotation. And for freedom of motion and tension-busting, there is nothing like gaining the distinct, "effortless" feeling of a swinging clubhead.


Along with these new ideas, Harold mixes in some easy-to-implement tips and techniques for making real changes in your mental golf mindset, your balance and ball contact, and your overall golf swing improvement.  

THESE GOLF LESSONS GET TO THE NUTS AND BOLTS, THE VERY HEART, OF GOLF SWING IMPROVEMENT THAT LEADS TO GREAT BALANCE AND SOLID BALL CONTACT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN YEARNING FOR AND TRYING TO ACHIEVE BETTER BALANCE AND BALL CONTACT WITHOUT GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND DO IS CONTAINED IN THESE LESSONS!
