Break 80 Today© presents a brand new DVD production...

We all get into trouble. But your scores don't have to. My new DVD will show you how to recover from the worst of situations within minutes.

(and today I'm giving it away for free.)

Dear Fellow Golfer,

Even the top tour pros run into trouble now and then.  The difference between them and the high handicap golfer is that they know how to get out of it.

And, soon, so will you.

In fact...

You’ll become so good at these “impossible” shots, your buddies will claim you get into trouble on purpose so you can show off.

My Trouble Shots DVD will help you lower your handicap and improve your game for years to come.

And I want to send it to you free.

In just a minute, I’ll explain.

But first, here's why I think this topic is important to your game.  When I first started to play the game I was pretty awful but it didn't take me long to get significantly better.  Much faster than my friends, in fact.

My very first score in golf was a 56 on a 9 hole course loaded with trees, water and deep rough. I forget the slope rating but it wasn't the toughest track out there.  Unfortunately, not a pushover either at 3155 yards. 

Four months later I shot a 38 on that same track. I was 11 yrs old.

And all everyone wanted to know was how did Jackie improve so much?

Take a look at the actual list I used back then (I'm nostalgic...I save these things) on the on how to improve my game (I was passionate then too about playing better :).  I've circled for you guys in red the secret to my success.

I was about 85 lbs. soaking wet and about 4'10" so I couldn't hit it a long way.  I couldn't afford a good set of irons and was missing a pitching wedge from my set. And to tell you the truth, the easiest area of my game to "fix" seemed to be hitting under, over and around all those trees on the front nine I played.

And that's it.  I got better really quick because I just figured it would be easier to find out how to GET OUT of the woods instead of how NOT to get in them.

My swing was wild and loose and at that age because I just loved taking a huge whack at the ball every time....still do today.  And my putting pretty erratic.  I had spent hours trying to practice to hit the ball straight and long and for me, I just couldn't seem to get it done. So I spent my summer time trying to master these shots.  I just realized that even if I got real good some day, I'd still be prone to hitting errant shots and landing up in jail so it would be time well spent.

I don't really know if I was right or wrong in my logic at the time but one thing I know-- it worked for me and it worked VERY well.

And that's how I began to really craft my game....from the trouble out.  My philosophy was "I don't really care if it goes in the woods on the right...I've got that shot".

But let me tell you about this DVD. 

In it, I cover the nine most common troublesome situations you’re likely to run into on a course and show you how to hit your way out of them.  I’ll show you which clubs to use and teach you the simple technique that will get you back to the green with the fewest strokes.

It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense course on how to get out of trouble on the course.  I think it’s one of the best DVDs we’ve ever done. 

Here’s a sample of what you’ll learn:

*How to hit from a hard pan lie.

Unless you’re playing in a swamp, you’ll come across plenty of these. Even the most well-maintained courses have a few hard pan spots. 

Type your question here and click Start Chat... Or let us Call you!

I’ll show you...

·         The adjustments to make from a lie that isn’t perfect.

·         How to make sure the club head doesn’t bounce off the turf.

·         How to avoid topping the ball and sculling it over the green.

·         Why your normal swing won’t work. And how to modify it so it does.

The result?  You’ll instantly hit better shots from a hard place.  And that’s a lot better than being between a rock and one.

*How to hit from the deep rough.

This one is tough because the grass seems to be trying to reach up and grab your club.  It actually does get wrapped around the hosel so you’re not just swinging the club...you’re pulling along the turf.

I’ll teach you how to...

·         Play the ball the way the pros do. It’s the exact opposite of what the average amateur does.

·         Alter your swing to compensate for the grass-grab.  Even the top pros couldn’t hit from deep rough using their normal swing. And neither could you.

·         Why greed isn’t good.  And why the deep rough is no place to be a hero.

·         How to get the loft you need to get the heck out of there.

The result?  You can expect more solid shots with greater distance if you follow my instructions.

*How to hit into the wind.

If you don’t think wind can be a factor in your game, just remember what it did to Paul Goydos at the 2008 Players.  Or how it blew Phil Mickelson off the leader board in the same tournament. 

And even though the wind may not be a big deal where you play, you never know when you might be playing in a different part of the world.

You need to know this shot.  I’ll make sure you do. You’ll learn...

·         The #1 mistake most amateurs make in club selection.  I’ll show you which club and why. 

·         Why it isn’t about swing speed.  Hitting harder isn’t the answer. I’ll show you what is.

·         The last thing you want to do when hitting against the wind.  And how to avoid doing it.

·         Why a full backswing is a no-no.  And how to positively alter yours.

What can you expect?  Greater distance with more accuracy.  No matter which way the wind blows.

*How to hit downwind.

Maybe you love it when the wind is at your back.  A lot of golfers do because they think the wind will give them a little extra distance.

Well, it will.  But it can also take your ball someplace you don’t want it to go.  That jungle over to your right, for instance. 

I’ll show you how to add extra control to the ball so it goes straight.

I’ll also show you...

·         How to avoid choosing the wrong club.  It’s the most common mistake amateurs make and it can cost you big time.

·         How to modify your swing to take maximum advantage of the wind. Your regular swing won’t help you here.

·         How to keep the ball from running past where you want it to stop. 

·         What you want the ball to do in a downwind situation.  It’s the exact opposite of hitting into the wind.

The result?  You’ll gain more height and greater control.

*How to hit punch shots.

I’m convinced the reason so many amateurs are bad at these is because they never practice them.  Then when they have to get the ball through the trees, they take out the biggest club in their bag and try to fly it out.

Maybe you aren’t the average golfer and you don’t live under the trees like most do.  But if you do find yourself spending a considerable amount of time in the forest, learning this shot will help you see more of the green.

I’ll help you...

·         Learn to stay low.  Less loft is the key to the punch shot. 

·         Modify your grip. It’s your regular grip but with an important difference.

·         Master the mechanics that are so important in this shot.  Using the right club is only half the solution.

·         Learn how to practice this shot...even if there aren’t any trees around.

Result:  You’ll get better contact with the ball and send it traveling lower.  That means through the branches and not against the tree trunk.

*How to hit flop shots.

Most amateurs love these things.  They must; they seem to want to try and flop everything.

But not every short shot should be a flop.  It’s really difficult from the rough or from a hard pan lie. 

And most of the time, it just plain doesn’t work.  The ground is much safer than the air and that’s something most high handicap golfers never learn.

I’ll teach you a flop shot that actually gets the ball where it’s supposed to go and keeps it from running once it gets there.  But that’s not all you’ll learn...

·         You’ll learn when to flop and when to stop and think it over.

·         You’ll learn how to add loft to your flop shots.  Without sacrificing accuracy.

·         I’ll show you the club to use and the technique that goes with it.

·         I’ll teach you how to modify your swing.  It’s a subtle change but it makes all the difference between a good flop and one to try to forget.

What that will do is add loft to your flops.  Plus, you’ll have softer landings.  And that means your ball won’t run forever once it lands.

*How to hit from uneven lies.

I never played on a course that was as flat as a pancake and never expect to.  Every course I’ve ever seen has little hills and valleys. 

So unless you play in a parking lot, you need to know how to hit from uneven lies. 

I’ll teach you how to handle the big four in uneven lies:  when the ball is above your feet, when it’s below them, when the ball is uphill and

when it’s downhill.

I give each lie its own special segment.  Because each one is a different situation.

Here’s what you’ll get from my DVD...

·         How to hit like you’re on level ground – even if you’re

halfway up a hillside.  (The secret?  Your shoulders.)

·         The technique to use for each lie.  It’s different for each one.

·         The club to use for every uneven lie you face.  No more second-guessing yourself.

·         How to modify your grip.  Same grip, different location.

The payoff?  You’ll hit more solid shots with the ball flying straighter and further. Plus, you won’t be playing the guessing game with your clubs any more.  You’ll know exactly which club to use for each different lie.

*How to hit draw and fade shots.

I know.  I devoted a whole video to the draw and probably ought to do one on fade shots.  I wanted to include them in this DVD because they can help you get out of trouble time-after-time. 

What I cover in this DVD isn’t the whole story on either shot.  But it’ll be enough to get you closer to the pin.

I’ll show you...

·         When to hit a draw and when to go for a fade. You’d think it would be obvious, but for some golfers it isn’t. 

·         The changes you need to make to your grip for both shots.  Naturally, it’s a little different depending on whether

you’re going for a draw or a fade.

·         Why it’s important to visualize your shot.  You won’t get where you want to go if you don’t.

·         Why so much depends on your club face.  And what to do about it.

What to expect:  Instant success.  Your ball will curve the way you want it on demand the first time you apply my technique.    And every time from then on.

That’s just a quick overview of the DVD.  Now, do I want you to go out and master each segment in order?

Heck no.  That’s too much like work and I know you probably wouldn’t do it anyway.

So instead if I were you, I’d pick the shot that was giving me the most trouble and work on it till I got better.  Then, I’d go on to the next and so on.  Just do one at a time; get the mechanics down and go out and practice. 

Of course, before you do any of that, you have to let me send you the video.  That shouldn’t be a tough decisions since...

It’s yours FREE when you enroll in

my Fast Track Program.

That’s right, my new Trouble Shots DVD is yours free with your enrollment.

I’ll just ask you to pay for shipping it. That’s about seven bucks.

And since we sell most of my DVDs at from $47 to $72, I’d call that a bargain.

Now, just what the heck is this Fast Track Program?

It’s the program I started for average golfers who want to be better golfers. 

It's brand new (only been open a couple of weeks) and it's exclusive.  It's really for the committed golfer who really wants to improve and do so at an accelerated pace. 

Being a member of this program is like having your own personal pro to show you step-by-step how to lower your score significantly and become the kind of golfer you want to be.

Best thing about it, is that it that you can learn how to shave strokes from the convenience of your office...your home...your course...or wherever you play or practice.  And at your own pace. 

In my Fast Track Program, I share just about everything I’ve learned about the game in and instructing over 100,000 golfers around the world.  Everything from what equipment you’ll need to get started... to advanced stuff like how to blast your way out of a bunkers.

I concentrate on teaching the right swing and provide practice drills to burn the mechanics right into the brain. (It doesn’t hurt nearly as much as it sounds, I promise.)

Every month, we’ll concentrate on a specific part of the game.

By the end of the month, you’ll have mastered that part.  I’ll make sure you get there.

Here’s what you’ll get as a Fast Track Member.

I have these components organized for you so it's very easy for you to follow. And you can listen and watch the pieces that I give you each week anytime from anywhere...at your own pace.

And as a footnote, all DVD instruction is delivered by our top golf instructor, Bobby Eldridge.  He's the guy who leads all of our DVD instruction and his simple and effective manner of teaching is perfect for all skill levels.

Track 1: DVD Clips

This is a great way to review the How To Break 80® DVD's if you already have them. And if you don’t, a way to learn the basic fundamentals shown on each video. For example, if we’re focusing on chipping, you’ll get chipping clips from the Short Game DVD. It’ll provide a great base for you so you can move on to a better game. And yes, you'll have full access to these clips so you can watch them online, download them to your computer or put them on your iPod.

Track 2: Breakdown Sessions

We break down the chapters in-depth by utilizing screen shots of the actual video and new example photos to show you exactly how to complete that specific mechanic. You’ll get these via online video. After you’ve studied the mechanics and implemented them on the range you’re ready for some practice on your own. And yes, downloading is allowed.

Track 3: Practice Drills

I’m going to send you specific practice drills that help you complete and understand the topic of the DVD clips and breakdown sessions. These will help you understand what the correct method feels like. They’ll also help “burn in” the correct mechanics into your swing. You’ll get these via online video also. These are never-before-seen videos that are specially designed for Fast Track members only. Available for download or watch online.

Track 4: Worksheets and Assignments

No, it’s not exactly homework. It’s a way of measuring your progress. These Worksheets actually force you to play better golf. They will help you with things such as playing with the right equipment, knowing the approximate distance of each iron, knowing the distance each wedge goes (pitching), knowing your fairways hit percentage, greens in regulation percentage, number of putts per round, etc...

Track 5: Private Forum

The power of a group of like-minded people to help you on your quest is paramount to your success.  We'll provide you exclusive access to a forum where you can interact with all the other Fast Trackers.  This gives you an opportunity to talk all things golf (some not golf) and more importantly, share what's working and what isn't. You will be able to search the archives and see the answers from your fellow golfers. Never underestimate the "power of the pack."  Heck, I've met some of my best friends in forums just like these.

Track 6: Tracking Worksheets

You'll be able to track your own progress each and every month by checking off items on the to-do list that we give you. Each month you'll receive a different list that will include watching videos, completing drills, completing worksheets, and playing rounds of golf.

This is the schedule we have planned for the program. Once you become a member, we’ll give you the exact dates so you can mark your calendar.

Lastly, here's some of my customers who have had outstanding success with the DVD's: 

"Can't believe the improvement"

"I have been out practicing your swing, I can't believe the improvement in just a couple of sessions. I am hitting the ball consistantly with a square club face and grouping the balls like never before, after pacing the distance I find I have hit it at least 10 yards further with a great ball flight, can't wait to take this swing out onto the course. I have already knocked shots off following the short game dvd, I am getting closer to the pin than I have ever done and consistantly.if its like this in just a short time. I took my new swing on the course today and broke 90 for the first time. At last the ball is going where I want it to." Barry Mortimer

"I broke 80 for the first time in many years."

"Well, as I said in my letter, I got this system at the end of the golf year. I ended my year with a local course handicap of 16. I spent the winter and spring studying the DVDs, going to a driving range with heated stalls and practicing every chance I got. I didn't want to get back to you without having more data. Here is the update: Right from the start of this year, I could tell things were going to be different. Though I have had my "blow-up" rounds, they have been in the low to mid 90's. However, my scores were much more consistently in the low to mid 80's. It didn't take long before I broke 80 for the first time in many years. Since then, I have had several in the high 70's. I want to thank you for this series of DVDs and look forward to future ones. After (not if) I hit my 75 goal, I am not sure what my next will be. I will be 47 of the 19th of June (less than two days at this writing) - is the Senior Tour too much to dream for? Just Kidding ... or am I?!?!" Jim Hager

"Lowered my score eight to twelve strokes."

"I wanted to write as a happy customer. Since I have watched three of your videos, I have lowered my scores about eight to twelve strokes. I am around 90 - 94. I now have all four of your DVD’s with my latest purchase of the short game. I want to thank you for giving excellent instruction lessons." Gary Carter

"I was amazed, hit 40 balls with various clubs and didn't slice any shot."

This is amazing, I have been a slicer all my life and have tried everything, even professional lessons and never received any assistance with the slice. After reading your email (lesson #1) I took it to the driving range and I was amazed, hit 40 balls with various clubs and didn’t slice any shot, several went straight and the majority had a slight sand. I actually hit several 300 plus drives (haven’t been able to do that for many years). I have all your DVD programs and look forward to watching your upcoming sand DVD. I must say that your method of teaching is the best I am seen, really appreciate your guidance. Thanks again, Charles A Stewart Adrian, MI

"Dropped from the upper 90's to the middle 80's."

Just a note to let you know I received your cd's and feel you did an excellent job of discussing about all the necessary areas for improving your game. I am 79 years young and have dropped from the upper 90's …to the middle 80's…I started playing some 12 years ago and now feel MORE CONFIDENT IN MY GAME AND THE JOY OF PLAYING GOLF IS GREAT. THANK YOU. Les Hier Homewood IL

"Went From a 10 handicap To 7 in 2 weeks"

 

" I Went from a 10 handicap to a 7. A 30% decrease in 2 weeks." Jim Livingstone

"My foursome was surprised"

"All I can say is I wished I could have had this kind of instruction 50 or 60 years ago (I am now 82). I  consistently watched the DVD's, downloaded the written instructions, made notes and practiced with puff balls in the back yard and then took it to the golf range, before I went out for my first attempt on the golf course. Needless to say the transformation was spectacular. I remember how surprised my foursome was of my improvement. I was starting to hit my drives strait (without the dreaded slice) and at least 10 to 15 yards longer. Cheers. Stanley Mish

"Just back from my best round ever"

Just back from my best round ever, I shot 86 on a course I had never played before. I was shooting north of 100-110. Before I saw the documents you supplied I was happy to score 95-100. Within a few months of using the advice from your DVD, the result is speaking for itself. I have taken about 5-10 shots of my scores in a short space of time. Jon Stone - Wickford. Essex. GB
