Very interested in the A swing. I am a beginner golfer who gets somewhat overwhelmed with all of the different components to the golf swing. The A swing seems to streamline the process into a more user friendly method. I would love to try this out and see if I can be more consistent on the course.

That sounds great Kris. We’ll get a copy of David’s book sent out to you this week. Keep up the progress!
The A Swing seems right up my alley. I’m a beginner and have only 2 full
games under my belt so far. Learning the A Swing would prevent me from
developing bad habits from the start. I think I would benefit greatly
from a simpler swing.
Eric…great point about avoiding bad habits early in the process. We’ll get a copy of David’s book sent your way!
Wow, what a catch for you guys! David Leadbetter is an icon, and even my instructor — a tried and true devotee of the traditional golf swing — says the A Swing deserves to be paid attention to. Similar to Eric and Kris, I’m pretty new to the game; I started my second season, playing two 9-hole sessions on a full size course for the first time. As Frank mentioned in the interview, my biggest issue is consistency, and if the A Swing can give me a bit more consistency and help me find a few more fairways, that will… Read more »
So true…when David speaks, people listen! Thanks for your comment. We’ll get a copy of the book sent your way. Hopefully it will be the game changer you’re looking for!
After three decades of golfing I’ve always had a problem with consistency and correct impact.
In high school I played baseball and earned a 511 batting average. If the A Swing can bridge these techniques I may end up on the PGA tour!
Greatly and gratefully looking forward to swing that I can own and performs as I want. ⛳

Great interview Frank. Thank you David Leadbetter for yet another tremendous value add to this great game. This system is so easy to comprehend in that it translates what instructors have tried over and over again to translate in terms of “feel” in to something that it tangible, repeatable, and that those of us who do not log hundreds of hours per Week or Month in to our games due to our busy lives and commitments can actually make. This podcast was exceptionally high value and the explanation of the approach from David was on point as always. #gettheleadout
Not sure if I’m too late to the party. Funny enough, I began working on getting the club head outside my hands when practicing chipping and it paid dividends. I stumbled on Ledbetter’s extension of this idea and hit some great practice shots tonight. I’d love to get my hands on the book for more detail. Thanks!
