Swing Factory

by Steve Gould

"Leslie King, the father of the Swing Factory method, was one of the greatest students of the golf swing." -- Gary Player "Leslie King had enormous understanding of the mechanics of golf... mechanics which David Leadbetter popularized some years later." -- Peter Townsend "Leslie King's teachings helped me win three consecutive US Amateur Championships... I went on to win two US Opens and have been elected to golf's Hall of Fame. -- Juli Inkster The Swing Factory is about golf's best-kept secret - a secret that has transformed the lives of tens of thousands of golfers over the last fifty years. It is a proven method of teaching you how to play golf consistently well. And you don't need to go to a golf course or driving range to learn how to do it... All you need is enough space to swing a golf club. The Swing Factory method is all about learning how to swing the club, not how to hit the ball. It was invented by Leslie King, who went on to teach the great players and celebrities of his day, including Sean Connery; Michael Bonallack, Britain's most successful amateur golfer; Juli Inkster, one of the greatest women golfers of all time; and David Leadbetter, the most influential coach of modern day golf. Bob Toski, one of America's foremost golf commentators, described Leslie King as 'the master of the modern swing'. The Swing Factory contains all the secrets of King's method with illustrations and photographs to help you along the way. The abiding message of this book is that 95 per cent of golfers share the same simple faults in their swings. Whether you are an experienced golfer or a beginner, learning how to swing properly with this step-by-step guide will give you the foundations for a solid golf swing and dramatically lower scores for years to come.
