He set this record at the age of 64 using a steel-shafted wooden-headed driver and a wound Balata ball. Anyone who ever hit the old ball with the old club knows what a phenomenal feat this is. There’s no telling how far the ball would have gone if it were the new hot ball, hit with one of today’s modern titanium drivers. I called him incredible because he truly was — not only was he the most powerful ball striker ever, but he knew exactly how his swing worked and, if you had the time and patience, he could explain it to you. Fortunately for you, I had the patience and for more than 25 years picked his mind for the details of how he did it.

It took me these 25 years because he explained it in medical and scientific terminology to be certain that I understood precisely what he meant. I had to school myself as to what his words meant, with the names of all the bones and muscles and the terminology as to how they moved. Psupination, pronation, radial flexion, and palmar flexion were but a few of these.

By a gift from God, I have been blessed with a mind that enabled me to grasp these concepts and explain them to you in common language that makes the description easy to understand. While many people have told me that I am a fine instructor in my own right, and by interpreting what he meant into layman’s language have improved the way that it’s taught, I always give credit to the genius who taught me 90% of what I know. Without him, I would’ve never learned this on my own. My dear friend and mentor has passed on now, but his legend still lives on.

My goal is to see that the golf swing he invented lives on as well, not only in the history of golf but in your swing as well.
The golf swing he invented I have named “The Perfect Golf Swing” because it is just that. It is perfect because it uses the body in the most perfect way — as a leverage machine to hit precision golf shots.

Michael used this perfect swing and executed it perfectly on the day that he hit that 515-yard drive. That’s why the ball went that far. Not only does the perfect golf shot produce perfectly controlled flight to your ball as to trajectory and curvature, it also produces your maximum distance. Everyone has his or her maximum distance, and it is likely that we will not hit the ball 515 yards; nonetheless, we can attain our own maximum power.

All of this while doing no harm to your body because the motion works in harmony with the body’s design and not counter to it, so that you can hit long and powerful golf shots until very late in your life. Even now, at over 72 years old and with several body parts that don’t work well due to injuries received during my years as a construction worker, I can still hit the ball 280+ yards. I am absolutely certain that I can make you hit it farther too, since I have taught thousands of people how to hit the golf ball farther and more accurately. I have trained other instructors in how to teach the method, including long drive competitors and touring pros around the globe. While having some differences to the commonly taught motion, the swing is entirely logical, it is not a theory, and easy to do once learned.

What surprises most people is that 99.5% were able to learn it and most got it fairly quickly. No one who has learned it will ever go back to his old method. Due to the human condition, there will always be a small percentage of people who either do not have the ability to follow simple instructions or have a physical or learning disability. If you fear you are one of those people, fear not because it is likely that you are not.
