Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

[Warning!!! This post contains 3 skills. Anyone with a 3 Skills allergy should not read further]

Swing Dynamics and 3 skills:

I have been considering the question of whether it is possible to concentrate solely on the 3 skills or if you need to also work on swing dynamics to make them effective.

The jury is still out at this moment but I am warming to the view that if the 3 skills are practiced and perfected then the swing should follow. I think basic fundamentals like grip, posture and address should be taught first. It is not possible to make good ball contact with the 3 skills unless you are fundamentally using your body in a way that allows them to be executed. This suggests that if you are able to execute the skills then your body movements must be correct.

If you had a reverse pivot, for example then you could not use exercise 1 correctly. If you come over the top you could not achieve 2. If you had too much body sway then again you would not achieve 1 or 2. And so on.

So! as I said I am warming to the theory that if you have a good swingpath through impact that creates the desired ball flight then your body must be doing the right things without focusing on them.

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

All this and I still cant get a full round in cos of the back situation didnt get 100% better and I pushed it too far. Hence no golf again,

What are we debating
For
a really good theory that honest fair minded people on here have seen work at 1st hand and who have put the idea into practice and its worked for them.

Against
Some narrow minded people that seem to be obsessed with swing mechanics, fundamentals and a paranoid belief that they are trying to be ripped off.

Nobody is forcing you to buy the book or try the 3 skills

Sorry if it upsets but try it or dont simple

P.S f**k it am not sorry I cant play cos of my back so hence the wrath

Ahem, "cough", Oi, excuse me.

I think I was one of the first people to ask whether the 3Skills are more effective for those with sound fundamentals than for those without.

I don't believe that I am narrow minded, anyone less obsessed with mechanics of the swing than me would hard to find and I have never suggested that there is some lying, devious rip off sales campaign going on - I have even bought the book and am trying to implement the theories - so whilst I'm not firnly in the pro group yet I kind of resent the implication that I might be in the latter.


Hope your back gets better soon btw.

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

hi Keith
i don't think i am narrow minded but i use a different system to 3 skill's. i know my system is working for me and i don't want to change but that don't mean i am against the 3 skill's. up to now i have never commented on it and i won't as i have not read the book and as such don't know if how good it is.
my game is good and i know my system really well now but i know it wont work for every one.
please don't make out that that every one that don't use the 3 skill's means there against it, it just some of us are happy with what we have.
i also have back problems and not played this last few weeks due to it so know how your feeling.
hope your back swinging soon.
best regards
bill

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

lmao I wasn't implying anyone who doesn't use it is narrow minded
What I am saying if you don't want to try or use it then don't and stop the whining about whether it right or not for beginners, it 's good for you or whatever.
The people who have posted on here that my comment is aimed at, know who they are, the people who are taking offense at what i said then I am sorry for your guilty conscience.
People either are for it or against it, those against it 1 comment saying it not for them is sufficient then post no more. As for the people over using their belief and enthusiasm for it, they are answering peoples questions and inquiries on the subject and trying to point them in the right direction. Yes there are people in between who cant make up their mind thats why they ask questions but it is up to that individual to take on the theory, peoples opinion who have tried it and offered advice. Then make up their mind if and when they try it. All the negativity from others is neither wanted or needed.

Thanks peeps if it offends then look in the mirror and ask yourself why.

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

hi Keith
what your saying is if it works for you then tell about it on here but if it don't then shut up. sorry i don't see it like that if it don't work for you then you have the same rights to talk about it at the many on here that it has worked for, this forum is big enough for both views to be heard. i for one want to hear the good things and the bad so i can make my own judgments just the same as you have done.
i don't have the book but that don't mean i am not interested in reading it at some later date.

I had the weird idea that this was a discussion forum. Maybe it was the little "Our golf forum has 59,714 discussions" at the top of the page that gave me that idea. So it seems to me that things such as whether it's good for beginners, or whether it works for me or anyone else are things that we might want to discuss.

In fact, we have been discussing them. I imagine we'll continue.

Thanks peeps if it offends then look in the mirror and ask yourself why.

No mirror needed. I think the answer is that we didn't need or ask for instructions about how to discuss the three skills.

Did I say you couldnt comment? If its not for you, I said comment and thats it! why would you want to say more? again and again but the others who it is for, are discussing how's why for's and ifs n buts.
This is a thread about the 3skills if you dont like or it doesnt work for you then whats to discuss? give an opinion then leave it, unless you want more info or tips etc on how to make it work.
My comments again are not aimed at the people who are asking questions or giving reasons or are generally interested. But there are one or two that seem intent on rubbishing what they have not seen, tried or even researched.
My opinion

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

hi again Keith
you said, (if its not working for you then whats to discuss?)
if its not working for you then why not discuss it at you might be doing it wrong and someone could put you right or you might have the wrong interpretations the instructions and someone here can put your right. lets allow an open view on all mater on this forum and help everyone not just them that we agree with.

Hi mate I think thats what I said, am all for asking opinions and advice but its the 1 or 2 thats just intent on rubbishing it as some kooky idea

Come on Robin, I dont think this was pointed at you.

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

Crikey..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

............I have to agree with Keith to some degree, thoses of us who were there also Brian and a few others who has found instant success, have found ourselves commenting that we are not a sales team and do not have any commission for the sale of this book....why!

I have no problem with anyone who whats to know more about the 3skills, or who just has a general interest in the technics etc.

Brian made a good comment that sound fundimentals are needed to start with..................I agree whole hearted you must.

I wrote this on a previous page:

I have just returned from the British Masters, I followed the winner Westwood, Monty, Sterne, Poulter and many more:

1) I pre-shot the same
2) I set-up the same
3) I use the same equipment
4) I swing on the similar plane
5) My ball position is the same
6) I use the same balls
7) I look stronger than a few, some are tall, some are short, fat and thin also..!!!

So I ask myself what is different It is there ball striking, it is so much more solid and powerfull.......?????


How is this achieved I ask myself...................3skills springs to mind.


I have to say this is as close to reality as you get,

Ian.


P.S Robin I have not found any of your comments offensive at all.

good post ian
i suppose because i worked hard on my fundamentals prior to seeing 3skills thats why i have had some instant success with it.
perhaps i should have titled the thread " i already have good fundamentals and nailed it with 3skills"

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

Brian Robin you are asking genuine questions and are concerned how 3skills can develop your particular game, as are others. Some are saying its the best thing since man first had a b*** job, (me included mind is it that good? lol)
Again I stand by what I meant to say (but rather awkwardly it may seem)
There are people on here that want to rubbish the 3skills and loosely point an accusing finger at those who are saying it really works. Why ? does it possibly affect there profession? or a friends ? I dont know but a discussion is a 2 way conversation about PRO's and CON's and those who need and are asking for help, but not the way this thread has headed, with people chipping in every now and then saying its shit, it dont work you need lessons, maybe not used those exact words but if you read this thread from start to finish as I did to catch up (been away) then you can see my point.

Cheers peeps
Hi to the Arden posse hope all goes well
