Amazing Assist Instructions
1. MENTAL PREPARATION Prior to practice, take a few minutes to close your eyes and concentrate on the motions you are about to make. If you have a model or ideal swing in mind imagine making this ideal swing.
2. GRIP Place the "V" formed by the thumb and forefinger of the left hand around the "V"markings on the grip. Then wrap your fingers around the grip , making sure they conform to the molded contours of the grip. Next, place your right hand on the grips, again placing the thumb and forefinger around the "V" marking on the grip. The little finger or the right hand should either over lap the index finger of the left hand (VARDON style) or interlock.. Reverse the hand position if you play golf left handed.
3. STANCE Take a proper stance by placing your feet perpendicular to the target line-spread about shoulder width. Your weight should rest on the inside balls of your feet about 60 % on the right side and 40% on the left side. The knees should be slightly flexed and cocked in to brace against swaying. Square your shoulders parallel to the feet and bend forward from the waist. You are ready to begin.
4. SWING Be sure you have ample room to swing and be cautious of people walking into your practice area.
Start with a relaxed grip and swinging motion. Make mini swings back and forth without stopping and then gradually build into the full swings. Simply follow the ASSIST, neither forcing too much speed nor trying to delay it. Soon you will find a comfortable tempo. Notice you are naturally transferring your weight from left to right and reverse. The release action of the wrist and hands is starting to develop and is guided and timed by the ASSIST.
PRE-GAME WARM UP Use for pre game or practice warmup by making mini swings and loosening up you primary golf muscles.
DAILY PRACTICE Practice daily swinging the ASSIST for 3 to 5 minutes per session. Daily use will reinforce the proper grip , swing , tempo, and timing while strengthening golf muscles for enhanced performance and lower scores.
The ASSIST can be carried in your bag without effecting the USGA 14 club rule, but may only be used prior to starting the round of golf. (Rule 14-3)
CAUTION: Stretching prior to practice will help prevent soreness or injury. If you experience any pain or discomfort , stop and consult your physician.
