REVIEW FROM

~the PUTT GURU

I stumbled on to a web site which caught my attention. Breaking 80 without practicing was what I needed. The pitch on the web site was compelling enough and if it worked for me I wanted to market it from my site.

I called the contact number to see if we could work something out.

"Hello! Break 80 Golf... this is Craig."

"Hi, this is Karl Higham and I have a web site that focuses on sidesaddle putting." I replied. " I think I would like to sell your program on my site."

"Hi, Karl" "This is Craig Sigl." "Don't you remember me?" "I got a sidesaddle putter from you."

I knew right then I was talking to someone who knows how to identify and process credible information.

The next step was to see how well he could convey it.

Break 80 Without Practice arrived and I dove right in.

Now in my 70th year with arthritic knees, I need to play with a handicap flag on my cart so I can drive right up to the greens. It is virtually impossible for me to practice. I cannot flex my knees when I stand or during a swing. I am able to make a small stiff-legged weight shift however so I can still hit the T ball around 225 while shooting in the mid 80's. For me to consistently shoot in the 70's needs a different kind of fix.

Over the years... like Craig, I have studied so many golf teaching techniques and quick fixes that seem to contradict each other so much that all I ended up with was like a huge box of pieces from a dozen jigsaw puzzles all mixed together with no pictures on the box.

While listening to the first CD, a picture did begin to emerge.

I always knew that at least 90% of the game was played in the 6 inches between the ears. All of the better teaching concepts... in one way or another... utilize this idea.

The problem with all of them is: The What, Why, Where and When is explained but the HOW has been sorely lacking.

I have always said that if we could put our practice swing on the ball or bring our range game to the course we wouldn't need any pros. I knew the subconscious side of the brain could do it if I could get out of it's way... But HOW?

As I went on to CD's 2, 3, and 4 the picture on the box became clear and Craig explained which puzzle pieces actually belonged and how to use them.

The next day I played a round. I chose only one piece to work on that day. ( Establishing and using the same routine for every shot.) This was something I had trouble with because I thought I needed to get to the ball quickly, hit it and get back in the cart before the knees gave out. So what I did was make that my routine. The simple difference was that I had consciously thought of it as a routine instead of a mindless activity.

My focus was absolute on every shot... something I had only experienced on occasional shots.

I only scored an average round but the reason is kinda' weird. I had added some distance to my drive due to a more relaxed swing with better contact and was using different clubs for second shots which I kept blowing over the greens. I'm sure I'll no trouble fixing that.

Craig shows which things work and more importantly HOW to easily make them work.

You don't have to complete the whole puzzle to see results.

(Here's a hint: A simple revelation that lets you come to an agreement between the left and right side of your brain so that they can work together.)

WOW! Worth the price by itself.
