"The missing ingredient" for golfers who want to improve
...with a passion
   
BETTER BALL STRIKING
Simplified
Thumbs Down®
The
POWER MOVE
of Golf was created by
ME
Alan Martin, a single digit handicap
golfer.
"You probably never thought of
Thumbs Down® as
being a positive thing,
but this negative expression
can help improve your
ball striking, in minutes. Believe ME, it's not
another gimmick!
Turning
Thumbs
Down® while striking the golf ball squares the club
and
provides a POWER BOOSTER to your existing swing, without trying
to kill the ball."My
Problems
The
power fade which served me well for 25 years had turned into
an out-of-control slice during the early 1990's. I lost
over 20 yards of distance with every club (putter excluded) and my iron play had hit rock bottom. I struggled and
searched for a simple solution to cure the slice and regain my lost distance, but never
found it.
The Simple
Solution
During the
winter of 1994 I viewed a TV infomercial of a pro with training gadgets that promoted the wrists as an important and overlooked source of power.
Because I played baseball growing up and used my wrist and hand action to hit solid line drives, using the hands and wrists immediately made a lot of
sense to me.
It
Was Like Discovering Golf's Holy Grail
After a major change
from over rotating my body
for power, to
experimenting
for a season with the new wrist / hand action, the magic moment I was waiting for
happened in July of 1995. Although
my
lost distance was finally returning, I could feel that the
club wasn't
getting
square at impact and balls were still fading slightly away from my
targets.
One afternoon
I headed
to the course
with my wedge, a club that had totally lost it's feel and abandoned
me the most. As I chipped into a practice bunker about 20 yards away
I added my new wrist action to a very short back-swing. To my amazement,
I hit the ball
as clean and solid as was possible,
then felt it jump off
the club and saw it
fly straight over the top of the bunker. After the
second shot did the same I noticed my hands rotating down and through the
ball, like the pictures I
often saw of the best pros in magazines and on TV.
With such a short swing,
an active
rotating Thumbs Down®
motion at the ball
was the best way to describe what I saw and
felt.
When I began learning, my power came from the legs, hips
and bigger muscles, with as much turn as I could contort my
body into. Using
active hands to strike the golf ball back then was considered taboo.
Ironically, the
Thumbs Down®
rotation turned out to become the
missing ingredient
that changed everything for
ME.
Almost overnight the slice disappeared and I controlled the
ball better than ever. Not only was Thumbs Down®
easy to repeat, it didn't require changing my swing,
just some adjustments with my hand position at impact and
changes to my thinking.
GREAT BALL STRIKERS
AND SO CAN YOU
INCREASE POWER, DISTANCE, ACCURACY
AND BALL CONTROL
"The
more you read about golf technique, the more you often become bogged down in
meaningless jargon and excessive detail. Alan Martin's THUMBS DOWN®
THE POWER MOVE OF GOLF
was an absolute
revolution.
It's clear,
simple,
mechanically sound and
IT
WORKS!"

"It's
just
THUMBS UP
and
THUMBS DOWN®
WHAT COULD BE SIMPLER?"

¨
Are you're frustrated with your inability to control your shots?
¨ Do you have
a passion for the game but, tired of not improving enough?
¨ Is
hitting longer, more accurate and controlled shots
with every club in your bag
(putter excluded) and really enjoying it, something you
only dream about?
If you answered YES to all or any of the above
questions then
Thumbs
Down,
The POWER MOVE
of Golf
was created for golfers just
like you.
The more I play with everyday
amateur golfers the more I see that most of them need the same subtle adjustment
I needed, to hit the ball longer with more accuracy and control.
