Product Description

THE THUMBS DOWN METHOD. Get ready for some out-of-the-box thinking for improving your golf game. You probably never thought of Thumbs Down as a positive thing, but now it is. In fact, this negative expression is the best thing that ever happened to your golf game. It's not just another gimmick! Making a Thumbs Down motion while striking the golf ball squares the club and provides a power booster to your existing swing. Without trying to kill the ball, Thumbs Down releases the club and magically puts you in the correct finishing position. Good putters use their Thumbs for feel, also to visualize the line. Use your Thumbs to improve your ball striking too. Lower scores are not a guarantee; They are the natural results!

About the Author

At 5'7" and 150 pounds, Alan Martin was an unlikely future star in the NFL, but that didn't stop him from trying (he had 6 pro tryouts). Alan loved sports, was very athletic, played, watched and thought about sports constantly. Being an athlete played a key role in shaping his life. After giving it his best shot but not making it to the NFL, his career path into hi tech sales began. Throughout the years, golf was the #one sport he continued to play. After searching for a solution to fix his game, Alan fixed it by himself. The solution was so unique and simple, that Alan decided to write a How To book about the method he had invented. Today, 10 years later, the book has evolved into a product line that has expanded and matured exponentially. Alan is in his early 50's, self employed and a full time author and entrepreneur in the field of golf and marketing. He loves what he does. Now when he is thinking, watching or playing golf, he is working.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! I got whole new game!, January 25, 2009

By	T. Everett (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Talk about finding a little secret to change your life. The book is simple but has the essence of what was required to change my game from a drubber to a driller. The consistent, solid contact made by using the techniques in this book is amazing.

Thumbs Down is a great read. It opened my eyes up to a very simple approach to something I've always seen as a big problem. I highly encourage any golfer looking for a simple ball striking method that actually works to buy this book. A big Thumbs Up for Thumbs Down!

Anyone who wants to have more fun and play better golf needs to buy this
book! I can't believe how simple, easy and quickly the Thumbs Down method
improved my ball striking, just as advertised. I was a slicer, and could not enjoy myself when friends invited me to join them. Now I don't embarrass myself as much. That makes the game more enjoyable.
