The first thing anyone needs in
order to enjoy and succeed at golf is 'WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE GOLF
CLUB?'
In a word, there is a core
concept, a motion, an action, a "thing you do" at the very heart of swinging a
club that must come FIRST in your approach to the game, without which following
directions about grip, stance, posture, alignment, etc. is empty and
sterile--and which provides the meaning behind those details.
Whether you are just taking up
the game or have played for years, you must have that to start with.
My DVD
"YOUR VERY FIRST GOLF LESSON"
was made to fill
that universal need, and to my knowledge there is no other such instruction
anywhere -- on the internet or in the literature -- that shows you the
WHAT, the HOW, and the WHY that there is in this video.
It amazes us that the world of instruction ignores this - takes it for granted,
as it were - when it is so basic and necessary, even when it has obviously been
LEFT OUT.
The DVD is produced in
extremely straightforward, simple terms and with such easy-to-understand
demonstration such that anyone, whether a child of 8 years or a senior of 80
-- or an engineer with HIS demands for technical substance -- can watch
it, "get it," and DO IT immediately. And
not only that, but by following the directions that follow, the viewer can see
RIGHT AT THE OUTSET how to hit the ball squarely, straight, and pure without
spending frustrating hours topping, hitting fat, or struggling. SUCCESSFUL
GOLF SHOTS ARE MUCH EASIER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE, AND IT IS ALL
HERE. So click HERE to order, and

(In response to an internet request about my claim of "simplicity," I taped a
short clip (10 minutes) in my own home to make a point: despite its lack of
production values, since it makes a couple of points pretty well, I decided to
post it here for anyone to watch. It will give you a good
introduction both to my teaching style and to the swing itself. Click
HERE to view it now.)
Here's an email just received about how UNDERSTANDING is so
important--from a Scotsman!--
"George, First of all can I say that before I read you book I
reckon I had read just about every other golf instruction book ever printed,
which is probably why my handicap is now 18 whereas when I was younger and just
picked up a club and swung it was 9. I eventually got completely lost reading
conflicting advice from the "experts" -- those lucky enough to have been born
able to play the game without thinking about the mechanics, and your book and
video have been my salvation in terms of understanding more about the swing and
more importantly what not to focus on in terms of plain wrong conventional
wisdom.
I should say that until I read your book I was so disappointed with my game that
I had thought of giving up golf. After reading and watching your instruction I
had several rounds where I hit the ball at least as well as I did when I was
young. In fact I felt so confident again I used both my 1 iron and my
driver off the fairway to very good effect -- something I could not have
contemplated in the past decade - I am 60 now.
Thank you for opening up the game of golf again, when I thought for me it was
time to put the clubs away for good. I had grudgingly accepted that my reduction
in length was due to age: but in fact following your instruction I find that it
wasn't age, but poor striking technique. I am from
Scotland the home of golf, and in my view you have made what I regard as the
single biggest contribution to golf instruction in the history of the game -
that is quite an achievement - think about that when you next have a moment to
yourself." David
--------
Here's another, received a couple hours later:
George, Bless you! I have long been a fan of Jim Dent and have followed
him at tournaments going back to the 70's. Tried his "Just shift your weight"
swing from a '93 video of his that I purchased and could never make it
consistent. I have loved Vijay's swing and studied it at length, but again
could never find the consistency. I am 6'3" and 205 and so have the same body
type as these players and always knew this is the way I wanted to swing the golf
club. I picked up your book at the local library, and from there ordered your
video. You gave me the missing links! I am 62 and a 10 handicap and am now
striking the ball purer and with more ease and distance than ever before. You
have given me back my natural rhythm. I also am a piano player. Your
explanation of the "pullaway" is one I have never seen anywhere! It works! I
was striking the ball consistently on the toe and damning myself. I did as you
advised and bam, center contact. Wow! Am still working to perfect your moves,
but am very pleased. Thanks,
Bob W., Delray Beach, Florida
---------- and another...
George,
I received your book
(entitled "Golf Is Not That Hard Unless You Are Doing It Wrong") and
accompanying DVD, and while I have not finished going through them yet, I am
already THRILLED with what I have learned. The materials are filled with wisdom
and essential information, lacking in all other golf instruction that I have
experienced in the past. I have experienced many "a-ha" moments when you cut
through misconceptions created by conventional golf teaching, and I feel as if
the wool has been removed from my eyes. The impact bag drill -- and the
lessons that it teaches -- alone was worth the price of the materials. Thanks
so much for putting this together. David O., Richmond, VA.

Need more encouragement for our products? Here's an email I got from an "unhappy"
purchaser:
George,
I received my package on Friday. I was a bit bugged because I had
specified 'COIL' on the order form because I wanted the coil-bound version
of the book, but I didn't get one. So, anyway, I was planning to write to you
today to complain about it.. But NEVER MIND! I went to the range today to
test out the first half of the book which I read - and just like all those
in your testimonials, I couldn't believe it.
I've never hit such hard and long shots so many times in a row. Honestly
the majority of them were not perfect - most were not on the sweetspot, but
the real beauty of this is that I still got excellent distance and direction
on these mis-hits!
Anyway, no need to go on and on - it's basically the same result/response
that you have been getting from most of your customers. I just want to add
this: I really appreciate your efforts and generosity doing this... sure you
make money from the deal, but it's a lot of work creating a book, videos,
handling customers (reading emails like this), maintaining a website, etc..
(I run my own business so I can sympathize) BUT MORE
THAN THE WORK it took to create the product - you actually put valuable
information in it and you haven't held anything back. You put your heart
into this thing and we all can feel it. There are thousands of
instructional products that profit the author, but the exchange is fair at
best. For a $50 book, one typically gets $50 worth of golf value... But your
material is more like $50 book, for a priceless value.
You know something funny? I regretted the purchase a few days after I made
it (before I received product). I was mad at myself for being impulsive and
"falling" for the testimonials (after all.. testimonials are probably THE
most powerful marketing technique!). Geez., I am now so glad that I was
impulsive.. or should I say "exuberant". Somehow that day when I stumbled
onto your website, I just had some sort of intuition that I should try it
out (I am pretty stingy and I don't normally buy instructional stuff that I
just happen to stumble on).
End of story.. I don't want the COIL bound version anymore. The one I have
now is fine by me!
BTW, this is the first testimonial I have ever written in my life - I'm 34
years old. I may never need to write another one!

---------------------
So
why would I buy anything from you, Mr. Hibbard, when I can buy books and DVDs of
the most famous, the most recognized, the most proficient golfers in the world –
Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Phil Michelson, and written/taught by the most
celebrated top golf instructors like Hardy, Haney, Harmon, McLean, Leadbetter,
etc.?
Perhaps
your library already has all their books and tapes. If you already have good
stuff, why are you here?
Aha: you
are here because you are still seeking (or you’re a beginner).
You know that you lack confidence and certainty in what you know now, and you
believe, correctly, that you CAN KNOW AND BE CERTAIN about everything having to
do with your swing and your performance. And when you get THERE, you
will not need to search for anything else--actually you will pity those who haven’t found out
everything yet! You will be knowledgeable enough to teach others because of
your certainty. You will own, you will know, you will have mastered what to do,
and you will not need someone else to inform you of more. All you will want to
do is to practice and play, using what you already know that you know. Your
excitement will capture you and keep you on the golf course!
So here IS where you need to be, because I give you information and detailed
help in areas and items that all these other teachers, good as they are, simply
don’t give you BECAUSE THEY TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED THEMSELVES and thereby
assume that others know. In working with the gifted themselves, they ignore the
“klutz” in the rest of us. Unknowingly! Giving us to expect that “practice
will take care of teaching you the rest,” (which you and I both know simply
doesn’t happen). And that is because their natural hand-to-eye
coordination and intuition gave them those insights from the earliest
years of their lives. They are clueless how to help you achieve
the kind of precision impact that they enjoy without even thinking about
it simply because they have never faced or dealt with those problems
themselves and for that reason do not know what to tell you, or that give
rise to “reasons” that don’t pan out to help as they want you to believe. YOU
ARE NOT A KLUTZ. YOU NEED INFORMATION.
And
that is the reason for this website. HERE is where you will find what you need to know. You
can’t get this information anywhere else-- ANYwhere. Two things are
covered: The SWING, of course, which we handle with the best instruction in the
world -- to enable you to apply it to your body,
And
PRECISION IMPACT, [striking the MIDDLE of the clubface square with real
compression] WHICH IS THE AREA NEGLECTED, AND WHICH IS THE REAL SOURCE OF
YOUR PROBLEMS! See if you don’t agree as you continue here --:
-
Has
anyone told you about the “pullaway” that occurs during a good swing
that makes every beginner whiff the ball and that causes others to thin their
shots? Shock city!
-
Have
you every had anyone show you how your body stretches …A LOT during a swing,
and how that causes shanks and fat hits that take you
completely by surprise when they occur? Ugliest feeling in golf!
-
Have
you every had anyone tell you about how to find the exact right swing
plane—not by guessing, but with certainty and simplicity? As you read this,
do you entertain the possibility that you might not really be on
plane? - and that you actually can become dead certain about
getting it right? Doubt will always intimidate you!
-
Do
you slice and have you concluded “You are a slicer?” Wow, what a pity. THERE
ARE NO SLICERS: THERE IS ONLY BAD INSTRUCTION THAT MAKES SLICING INEVITABLE
AND FEEDS A KIND OF PATHOLOGICAL SELF-IMAGE THAT MAKES SOMEONE CONCLUDE THAT
HE SIMPLY ISN’T GIFTED ENOUGH NOT TO SLICE. THIS IS INSIDIOUS HERESY. DAMN!
-
Do
you struggle with toe impacts and not know how to fix them? [“Short right!”]
-
Do
you lack the distance and zing in your shots that just plain doesn’t match
your strengths and potential? You know you can do better but do not know what
is wrong? “I’m stronger than that!”
-
Does
your swing out on the golf course fail to produce the great shots you hit
during your warm-up on the range, and you are frustrated as to why? “Why
can’t I hit the ball as good when I play as when I practice?” This is one of
the most painful and mystifying issues of all. BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTION YOU
GOT FAILED TO ENABLE YOU TO TRANSITION TO THE COURSE – IT LEFT OUT WHY THAT
HAPPENS AND THE SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT PSYCHOLOGICAL: IT
IS MECHANICAL and there is a physical reason or two that fixes THAT issue.
-
Do
you not know that you can acquire a wonderfully accurate short game
without tons of practice, simply by knowing what controls distance and what
controls direction, and then using your common sense to easily execute what’s
needed? One of the great secrets of great golf is that with occasional
practice sessions of a few minutes at a time you can acquire skill that you
formerly believed would take years of practice and extraordinary hand/eye
coordination and touch to acquire? And, you know of course that your
approach shots and the “short game” account for more than 3/4ths of your final
score! YOU WILL NOT BE SHOWN THESE SIMPLE THINGS IN CONVENTIONAL
COOKIE-CUTTER BOOKS AND DVDS. THEY JUST DON’T GIVE YOU THE “SIMPLE WAYS’ TO
ACCOMPLISH PRECISION, LABORING AS THEY DO ON MECHANICS THAT ARE FOR THE MOST
PART IRRELEVANT FOR THE FIRST 95% OF THE SKILLS YOU NEED. WOULD YOU APPLY
FINE SANDPAPER BEFORE YOU HAVE PLANED THE WOOD? THEY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO SAND
WITHOUT TEACHING YOU HOW TO PLANE FIRST. WANT PRECISION BEYOND THAT SO YOU
CAN PLAY PROFESSIONALLY? FINE, BUT START WITH THOSE THINGS THAT COME FIRST!
You’ll be surprised how “unconventional” and utterly simple they are to use
immediately. (“Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill…”)
In a word, do you want to learn how to golf for enjoyment without having to
dedicate your life to it? Or are you more serious, wanting to develop your game
to a higher level? Either way, do you realize how important it is that your
books, golf videos, or golf school be truly helpful?
Perfect Impact is not a new way to swing, a
personal method, or a fad with a gimmicky idea. It is NOT a compromise
from traditional golf--on the contrary. PERFECT IMPACT IS SIMPLY
GREAT BALL STRIKING, AND OUR PROGRAM IS SHOWING YOU HOW TO ACHIEVE IT with the
most perfect mechanics possible and by virtue of that integrity, with natural
and simple movements common to many everyday activities. We reduce complex
unrelated ideas into immediately understandable things you can do right now.
Walking is complex but you don't need to know physics to be able to walk.
Anyone can swing a golf club well right away if he is shown with
down-to-earth simple images and plain English.
Perfect Impact is simply a translation of golf truth into simple English.

weekend I've had the Perfect Impact tape, and my results have been nothing short
of astounding!...
It has simplified things and filled in all the gaps for me, finally. I
love this game now."

MOST
INSTRUCTION is "not
enough information." You have to struggle too much. And
sometimes what is taught doesn't fit YOU. It's not fun to hit so many ugly
shots and not know what is going wrong. GOOD INSTRUCTION GIVES YOU ALL THE
ANSWERS. DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS!
-------------------
“Hi, George. Let me begin by saying, You're a
genius! I have purchased hundreds of golf books, and until I read yours I
literally had no clue what I was supposed to do. You turned on the lights for me
for the first time. Thank you." K. B., Gallatin, TN
---------------------
These
golf instruction materials
are the golf training aids that you really need to succeed in the game of golf
because they supply what is omitted! Of course
they contain all the golf swing fundamentals (that have proven inadequate for so
many people--or you wouldn't be
here still looking), but they are explained to fit you, not the model. The problem for most people is
that they do not know what is left out. Those things are critical, and
they are hidden in subtle details! You can get "the fundamentals" anywhere,
but you won't find the critical secrets about them you need to know anywhere
else but here. The uncountable testimonials posted here and in our files
are about just that. People rave about us because before they found
us they spent years, in some cases a lifetime, looking for what they
finally did find here, things simply not available anywhere else!
Click here for the importance of this!
---------------------
Posted on The Golf Channel discussion board:
“Golf's Critical Details is one of, if
not THE best pieces of work written in the field of golf instruction in a long,
long time. Mr. Hibbard is to the golf swing as Einstein is to relativity. What a masterpiece. Anyone who wants to become a better player needs to see the swing from the clearest
perspective I've ever encountered. But what do I know..., I've only been playing this
silly game for 48 years and teaching it for half that time! Thank you,
George Hibbard. You are a genius! “Tex,” (Jonathan Jones)
----------------------
The lessons of our golf instruction books, golf videos and golf school instruction
contain everything about golf technique—how to swing, how to drive, how to putt, power golf, cures for slices and hooks,
the role of balance. It teaches you how to create precision impact -- A
CORE ISSUE THAT IS SIMPLY LEFT OUT of most other instruction books, golf videos, and golf schools. THESE are the lessons and swing mechanics you need to succeed in the game of golf.
The best golf swing aids are correct swing fundamentals and
sufficiently detailed golf instruction--the things that truly enable you by
providing everything you need to know, not almost everything (like having
only some of the numbers for your combination padlock)!
In our passion about the real issues,
our program is the opposite of unrelated, confusing golf swing tips. And need
to know that real golf instruction requires much more than just a perfect golf swing. Golf swing analysis and ball flight are also about
impact and how to accomplish it perfectly. The perfect golf swing machine Iron Byron (used to test clubs and balls) can top it, whiff it, dribble it, slice it, hook it or anything! So if its operator needs instruction, how much more do we, humans with flexible bodies. Impact position is different than setup!
