If you answered "yes" to any or all of the above questions then you may want to keep reading. If you are happy with your golf game and improvement isn't an issue...stop here because you have obviously found the secret to success, and you may well could have because our system of developing consistency is nothing new. What is new is what we actually focus on during the swing. This is why your swing is already perfectly fine with the exception of a few key areas. Our latest offering is the simplest and most effective way to start developing consistency once and for all.
If you've played golf for any length of time you already know there are many moving parts to a golf swing. You also know (or have learned up to this point) that all those moving parts need to work in harmony....repeatedly, to develop enough muscle memory which in turn will result in a consistent and repeatable golf swing. Well, that is only partially true. I do agree certain things need to work to together to develop consistency. However, we don't waste time on the insignificant things, yes there are things in the golf swing that are insignificant, yet to many, occupy hours of focus that could be directed towards what's really important. Have you ever heard the phrase "don't sweat the small stuff?" We have to, and we don't, because to us it is just energy wasted.
For example, during a typical golf lesson, your pro might suggest that your lead foot (left foot for us right handed players) is moving too much or raising up too much and may have you work on keeping it more anchored. That then gets added to "the list" of things you need to remember. Each time your pro corrects what he/she feels is an issue it gets added to "the list" and by lessons end you may have 6 or 7 things on "your list" that you need to remember while making a golf swing that lasts approximately 1 second. To me that seems unrealistic which is why I have developed a very simple approach to developing consistency. I personally don't care if you are standing on your toes, standing on one leg, or bouncing the club off your head during your back swing as long as you can execute a few simple "musts" that every productive golf swing exhibits. If you can then you "WILL" be successfully consistent.
My system and teaching ideology is rooted in a few simple "musts" and that's where the focus should be concentrated....period. The system is APF-Zone 20 which takes facts that we already know and places the focus on those areas and those areas alone. I'm not interested in making your swing look pretty, I'm interested in making your swing incredibly effective. I haven't reinvented the wheel and what I teach you've probably already heard in various forms. The difference lies in the fact that the APF - Zone 20 approach keeps your focus on the few important "musts" of the golf swing while not letting you get side tracked on "other" things.
So if you like to analyze what each and every body part is doing during your golf swing then this is definitely not the program for you. All that does is create "Paralysis by Analysis" which, in my opinion, is the single most reason why golfers can't level up, especially better players. The quest for perfection ultimately causes the golfer to get in their own way, thus preventing them for taking it to the next level.
APF - Zone 20 is based at the VJF Golf Academy in Cordova, Tennessee and was developed by Director of Instruction and academy owner Vince Fratercangelo.
