Bertholy is very geared to teaching the average golfer how the swing of a pro 'feels' so that the golfer can reproduce it. This is a 'serious' pursuit and your real swing SHOULD be 'consisteant with' the drills. What do I mean by consistant? If a part of you moves or a part pulls or pushes in the drill it will do the same at that point in the real swing.
On of the simplest of these excercises is done with the
String Ball which I've mentioned before. Don't underestimate this. If you are interested in a Bertholy swing then Make a 'String Ball' and do the excercise'. Trust that this is NOT idle play or a demonstration but a critical excercise to give you a
'FEEL' needed for the real swing. I'm certain that if 90+% of the people reading this tried to preform their current swing motion with the string ball that it would be obvious that their current swing will NOT WORK with the 'String Ball'. The first step is to understand this. Second is to revise your motion so it does work, Step 3 is to do the same basics with a golf club.
Holding the whiffle ball in the fingers of the right hand, loop of string held by left hand thumb and index fingers, make the string taut, now slowly with the 3 second count take the right hand and arm up to the top of the backswing position as the left hand and arm follows resistively keeping the string taut, now once you have reached a high quality top of backswing position with the right arm, make the first movement of the downswing a buckle of the left knee toward the target while bearing weight down on the left heel. Caution: Allow no motion to occur at the top of the backswing position, but maintain this position. Now, count two or three seconds and then slowly proceed with high quality downswing action very slowly until the left hand which has been maintaining taut string pressure on the ball held in the slowly descending right hand and folding right arm, the left hand, mind you now, the moment it passes the impact or Golf Ball position , whips with great speed pulling the String-Ball out of the right hand fingers, and the ball now whirls through the Master Path of the Golfswing toward the target, whipping with great speed, finally striking our Golfer in the middle of the back with a cracking sound and a sharp stinging sensation felt in the upper back region near the back of the right shoulder. When you have performed this skillful maneuver properly you will have experienced a most unusual sensation. WOW!___TRIPLE__WOW!!!!

This Bertholy-Method String-Ball will more precisely and definitively identify what a fine CENTRIFUGAL FORCE GOLFSWING should feel like than one hundred or more of the best books written on the Golfswing or all of the words spoken by the great strikers of a GOlf Ball.
.....
If our golfer could truly feel what Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Sam Sneed, Lee Trevino...Tom Watson, on and on, felt when they made their very best golfswing it would help our GOlfer immeasurably in his own Golfswing achievement program. But alas, the vast majority of striving Golfers have never felt the pure CENTRIFUGAL FORCE Golfswing that in these outstanding players felt when at their peak or even exceeding themselves.
Try it; and don't forget it when you swing with a club.
