Golf Swing Technique - Learn From Iron Byron
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, 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 to the right and look below at the swing sequences of
Tiger Woods and Ernie Els compared to Iron Byron, try to see the
machine as a golfer not as a robot. 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!
I have been teaching people for over 17 years. If you would like
to learn how to incorporate the 3 elements of Iron Byron into
your swing, you may wish to consider joining one of my
1, 2 or 3 day golf schools or take
private golf lessons from
myself at Bear's Best Las Vegas or if you live in Canada you can
take 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 17,000 copies and I'm
approaching
3,000 thousand testimonials from people who took the
effort to write in and tell us how Swing Machine Golf has
changed their golfing 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
904-940-4123 or visit www.worldgolfhalloffame.org.
