| Re: Leslie King Method (Swing Factory) Sounds like a classic 2 plane swing to me. The arms move the body. Nothing wrong in that at all but as with all swing theories Kings is his own perosnal view and when he states things like the body propelling the swing is not a swing at all im afraid he's talking cobblers. Ask Hogan if his body didnt propel his swing. Ask One Planers
Im a one planer and my own personal view is that leading with the arms requires a lot of timing since you have to syncrhonise the pulling down of the arms with the turning shoulders but thats my view. When I rebuilt my swing I followed the One Plane Swing methodlogies of Ballard, Hardy, Roger Gunn and Chuck Quinton and found that it worked for me. However neither way is wrong or right
With golf there are one hundred different ways to successfully swing the club dependenent on body shape, grip, posture, flexibility etc. He has one method that may work for you but the one piece of advice I would give is stick to what he says. Dont start mixing something King says with something Leadbetter or Hardy or Ballard says or a tip you see in a magazine since then you'll be mixing swing types
Indeed King and Ballard are the polar opposites in teaching terms from what I can see |
