"O.k. So, today after work I stopped at the range
to work on the elusive swing. When I tried a few swings with the driver, I
remembered the grip sequence Mark talked about on the Power Steps tape. I
tried placing it in my left hand that way. I used think I had a good grip with
it more in my fingers, but I had nothing to lose by placing the butt end of the
shaft more across the palm of my hand as well as turning the left hand over with
a couple knuckles still showing. I placed the right hand opposite the left. As
the well known South Eastern prophet would say, "Shazam!" I tried my old grip
and flew it about 225-230. I got more carry with the new grip, but more
importantly, the ball chased after it hit the ground. I hope it doesn't rain
tomorrow so I can play a few holes after work. On the page with Power
Steps and put it in a box so it will show up.
Thanks"
"One added unsolicited comment. For us barrel
bodied fellows (you too, Richard, I've seen your pic on the website}, it helps
to make sure in the address, the upper left across the left breast in front of
the chest. This allows for a much freer swing. It is often too easy for us to
hang the upper left arm to the side of the breast which is actually quite
restrictive in the swing. It also may lead to sliding nstead of turning. I love
the videos. Now I'm looking for 100 lb. weights to put on a shaft so I can
become a gorilla."

"I really do believe in your golf
instructional videos. I have complete sets of your Body Golf Videos and Short
Cuts to Better Golf. I really improve a lot in my game. Thanks to Mark for his
simple and easy to understand instructions. I am ordering this Body Golf Power
Step wishing to add more distant to my shots."

"I purchased the complete body video some time
ago and have had a great deal of success with it. I wear a permanent prosthesis
on my lower right leg below the knee so balance has been a very difficult
achievement for me. Swinging the multiple clubs has vastly improved my balance
and along with that I have learned to "tuck" the right elbow which has greatly
improved my distance since the amputation. I am the proud achiever of again
reaching bogey golf in my quest to returning to my previous standin of "shooting
in the 80s" Thanks for all your assistance...."

"I did purchase your "The Body Golf
Full Swing Clinic" and I didn't try to do everything at once but the first
exercise that was on the tape has helped me the MOST...quick and easy warm-up
and no more fairway slice!
Also the special chip shot technique works better than promised!
Thanks for all the help you give and keep the newsletter coming LONG OR SHORT"
Allen in Illinois
"Body Golf is the best set of
golf video's I have ever seen!! These video's cover it all from long game, to
short game, fitness and flexibility conditioning, and specialty shots that every
golfer should have in his bag. I could not give them a higher
recommendation."
- Jan T. Knight (retired teaching Pro), Columbia, SC
"I would like to tell you that I was surprised at how easy it was to follow and understand the drills presented in The Body Golf Full Swing Video. After practicing the drills in my garage for four days, I went to the range and was able to swing the club without thinking of what I was doing. The ball just "got in the way". Next to the course and I amazed myself with how I hit twelve of the fourteen fairways with my driver and proceeded to hit a career best 44 for the front nine. Too bad my short game abandoned me on the back but I did end up with a 91 (I usually shoot 102). This is by far the best video I own (and I own many, many tapes which only a professional could understand and emulate.)"
- J. Magri, Petaluma, CA
"Good morning, yes the body golf full swing video has taken ten strokes off my
game, you see I am a first year golfer and have a long way to go. But the
Video has really helped to improve my swing."
- R Peebler, Burlington,

"Great video. My shots are now unbelievably accurate, and my swing is completely repeatable. This is clearly the best instructional golf video ever."
- Richard Smith, Canton, OH
"Many great ideas that actually work! The biggest improvement I
have seen is added accuracy, particularly on my approach shots to the green.
Mark's advice to center your hands to the ball position made remarkable
improvements to the accuracy and crispness of my shots. My hands had previously
been well in front of the ball, causing combinations of fat, thin, and sometimes
pure, shots. I could never predict when the pure shot would occur, or the fat or
the thin for that matter! Centering the hands to the ball was worth the price of
the video alone.
Mark's lesson on chipping to the green with a 5 iron was also tremendously
helpful. I no longer use a wedge when within 20 yards off the green, which also
was wildly inconsistent. Using a putting stroke with the 5 iron is pure genious!!
My advice: get the Body Golf video and radically improve your game very easily."
- Tim Consiglio, Hauppauge, NY
"I have finally begun to enjoy golf. After viewing and practicing
the techniques from the Body Golf Full Swing Video for a few weeks my swing has
improved to the point that most of my play is from the short grass instead of
the woods. My three wood has been my driver because I did not have enough
confidence in my one wood. Now I can hit the big stick without hitting every
ball into the forest. It goes to show that with proper instruction even I can
dream of reaching par."
- J. Martin, San Antonio, TX
"I thoroughly recommend the BODY GOLF series of videos. I
am particularly enthused with the ease of learning a proper golf swing by the use of the three swing
drills. You immediately gain 'the feel of a proper golf swing' and a superb tempo within a few minutes of
using the drills. It is the most stress free, harmonious, and the least physically demanding of all the
systems I have tried to date.
I teach my grandchildren the BODY GOLF swing. You immediately use the natural, graceful, swing of
Bobby Jones with the "oiliness" of the great Sam Snead's swing. I used to enjoy "gripping it and ripping it". Now I
think of the effortlessness of V.J Singh
and David Toms and my scoring has improved dramatically."

RICHARD,
"THE FULL SWING VIDEO AFTER JUST THE FIRST VIEWING HAD MY TEE SHOT FLYING
STRAIGHTER AND MORE ACCURATE THAN I'VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO BEFORE. THE TECHNIQUES ARE EASY AND
UNDERSTANDABLE TO USE. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO THAT WORKS!"
- R. Smith, Fairfield, ME
"Simple and easy to learn. This is the best I have ever seen on improving my putting game. I took 5 strokes off my putting game after watching the video just two times. Here is my order for the other Body Golf video's."
- Ed Harris, Charleston, W. Virginia
"In my first year of playing golf, I was able to out-drive my six-foot-four, 225-pound husband. He hates it. I love it!"

L. Lemay. Leominster, MA.
"Mark's training technique should be THE training guide for the PGA."
-
M. Sahr., Golf Champion, Boca Raton, FL
"As a beginner, I was able to take 30 strokes off my game in one month!"
-
Vince S. Manchester, NH
"I turned a 12 handicap into a 6, and won my club championship in one season thanks to Mark's training!"
