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. |
