Q: What are teaching pros saying about the AST™?

Nick Bradley, PGA Tour Coach, Author and Course Designer, has the following things to say about the AST™:

"There's nothing else like it on the market." "It's so easy to use and doesn't leave you to your own devices." "At impact, it returns the club where it was at address." "Pretty much everyone that uses the AST™ gets into great posture." "The feeling that you get with it is incredible" "You use it for 5 minutes, then go out and swing a golf club, and immediately it's imprinted in your mind." "The AST™ puts the correct sequence of events in the correct order. The AST™ has a good grip trainer and with a correct grip, other good things can happen.

Next, the AST™ teaches us about the timing of the golf swing. Most people make the mistake of working on the shape of their golf swing, what we often call the "plane" first, without looking at the sequencing. The AST™ teaches the correct sequencing of the golf club in relation to the body. And with the correct sequencing you then have a good shape to your golf swing, which breeds that consistency." "This one pretty much nails it in the correct sequence. From a technical aspect, you really can't get it wrong. And the feel will follow very quickly afterwards."

Q: What's the bottom line on the AST™?

As you consistently use the AST™, the "light will go on" about the golf swing. The AST™ teaches you the correct, natural golf swing that you see in golf magazines and on Golf TV. But instead of watching the great golf swings that the pros' make every day, you will start making that swing yourself-the golf swing you want to make on the golf course.

Q: Will the AST™ reduce my risk of injuries from golf?

While there are no guarantees in medicine and sports, a properly trained body that is fit, flexible, stable and strong will resist injury more often. The AST™ guides the body through the correct Range of Motion necessary for the most effective golf swing, with increased flexibility of muscles used in golf. These are attributes of good golf health and injury reduction. - Phillip Zinni III, DO, FAOASM, CMRO, MS, ATC; American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine; National Medical Director, The Industrial Athlete; Chief Medical Officer & President, Health Resource Professionals
