Golf Swing Technique
My golf swing technique is unique. Why? Because I use Iron Byron to back
up what I teach to my students. If you haven't seen Iron Byron in action
it really is an incredible machine. It hits the golf ball perfectly,
time after time, using any golf club in the bag. Just watch the
video on the right and you'll see what I mean.
Because Iron Byron was modeled after one of the best golfers of all
time; Byron Nelson, and it's incredibly consistent, it provides you with
the proof you need to finally understand how the golf swing works.
Imagine going to the practice range knowing exactly what to work on!
With my technique, Swing Machine Golf, there is no more guess-work. By
relating the Iron Byron back to your own golf swing, you'll finally know
exactly why you have not been improving, and you'll know exactly what
you have to work on to finally have that consistent swing you've been
dreaming of.
As you watch the video and look below at the swing sequences of Tiger
Woods and Ernie Els, try to see the Iron Byron as a golfer not just a
bunch of nuts and bolts. If you do, you'll see that the Iron Byron
really does have the answers you have been searching for!

How Can You Learn From Iron Byron?
Now that you've seen me hit balls beside the Iron Byron, and how Tiger
and Ernie are both in the same positions, wouldn't you like to be able
to do the same thing? After all, the closer you can come to replicating
the machine, the closer to perfect you will become!
So how can you learn from Iron Byron?
I have been teaching people for over 16 years. If you would like to
learn how to incorporate the 3 elements of Iron Byron into your swing,
you may wish to consider private golf
lessons from myself in Colorado or
golf lessons in Toronto with my Canadian
Instructor.
If you can't come to see us in person, you can purchase my Swing Machine
Golf 4 DVD Series or Full Color Book or Video Series below. To date, we
have sold over 15,000 copies and have received over 2 thousand
testimonials from people who took the effort to write in and tell us how
Swing Machine Golf has changed their lives!

Press Release from True Temper Sports
True Temper's 'Iron Byron' Takes Place in World Golf Hall of
Fame
Memphis, TN …A private gathering was held Monday night at the World Golf
Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida, to officially open its newest
exhibit entitled Byron Nelson: A Champion… A Gentleman. The exhibit
features various pieces of memorabilia including photographs, trophies
and personal artifacts tracing the career of Byron Nelson, one of the
greatest champions and ambassadors the game of golf has ever known. A
focal point of the display is the True Temper® club testing robot better
known as “Iron Byron” because it was designed to replicate the timeless
swing of the great Lord Byron.
“True Temper is very pleased to be a part of an exhibit honoring not
only a great man and champion, but a true golfing pioneer,” states Scott
Hennessy, President / CEO of True Temper Sports. “By assisting our
company in the development of the robot, his fluid swing helped to set
the standard for evaluation in shaft design for decades to come.”
Born out of a collaborative effort between the Ohio-based Battelle
Memorial Institute and True Temper Sports in 1964, the machine was
designed to provide comparative shaft data in a controlled environment.
“Until the introduction of Iron Byron, 100% of dynamic shaft testing was
entirely subjective,” states Bob Bush, original technical services
manager of the swing robot project. “The robot provided a repeatable
swing allowing us to quantify performance from one shaft to the next. To
this day, even the best golfers in the world can’t provide this level of
consistency.”
True Temper chose Byron Nelson as the model swing after studying high
speed photography of numerous PGA Tour players and scratch amateurs of
the time. Mr. Nelson’s swing proved to be the most efficient wasting
little energy from the top of the swing through impact. “There is one
major difference between Mr. Nelson and the robot,” continues Mr.
Hennessy laughingly. “Iron Byron putts with exactly the same stroke as
he drives.”
After two years of development and a cost in excess of $250K, the robot
was introduced in 1966 simply as the “Golf Club Testing Device”. “We
were trying to emphasize that the machine was a true research tool, not
a marketing novelty,” Bob Bush explains. “Not until several years later
did the device take on the lasting moniker ‘Iron Byron’.”
One of the key features of the robot was its ability to mimic the energy
transfer present in the golf swing. “Most golfers deliver more energy at
impact than at the beginning of the downswing,” adds Graeme Horwood, VP
of Engineering. “Through the incorporation of compressed air and a
series of pneumatic valves, Iron Byron is able to replicate this action
and closely mirror a human’s energy transfer.”
For the last four decades, Iron Byron has provided critical feedback for
every major equipment manufacturer. It also has been used to determine
equipment standards by the United States Golf Association, the governing
body of the game of golf. Continues Scott Hennessy, “One of Iron Byron’s
proudest achievements is that it has been used by the USGA to grow and
protect the game of golf.”
Byron Nelson trusted True Temper shafts throughout his illustrious
career. He is most widely known for his unprecedented 1945 season in
which he claimed 11 consecutive wins on his way to 18 titles for the
year. The exhibit is located in the World Golf Hall of Fame, which is at
World Golf Village in St. Augustine, FL. For more information, call
