This book is the complete description (in plain English) of the Golf Swing invented and used by famed golf instructor and long drive champion Mike Austin. Mike holds the all time world's record for the longest drive ever hit in a professional competition, including long drive championships, PGA, or USGA golf tournaments here in the USA as well as any other sanctioned competition held anywhere in the world. He set this incredible record at the age of 64 while playing in the National Senior Open Championship; the feat was witnessed by thousands of spectators who were lining the hole. This was done with the equipment of the day, wooden headed club, steel shaft and a wound ball. Much surpassed by the technology available today, yet the record has never been threatened. Mike, as well as being a professional golfer held degrees in mechanical engineering and a Doctorate in Kinesiology (the scientific analization of human muscular and skeletal movements). This book serves as a handbook for teachers and golfers of all levels to learn a swing that is radically different from the commonly taught method. It is very powerful, accurate and easy on the body once learned. It uses all of the body's levers in the most efficient manner possible, provides balance and stability as the body supplies all of its power to the ball in a very efficient manner. Written by Dan Shauger, a teaching professional in the Los Angeles area... Dan studied under Mr. Austin for over 25 years and has captured the essence of a highly technical movement of the body and applied it to paper in words, photos, analogies and sketches that make it very understandable by the common man. Since writing the book Dan has trained 3 long drivers who have each won their divisions in Major championships. They were the only users of the method in the contests and won easily. Since self-published, and sold only over the internet by word of mouth, it has reached its second edition and has been updated. Testimonials by the hundreds have already been received.Shauger, Daniel is the author of 'How to Kill the Ball - the Mike Austin Method The Forumula for Power And Accuracy', published 2004 under ISBN 9780974611419 and ISBN 0974611417.
