It was developed by me and my partner and is based on the powerful swing positions of the great Mike Austin. We also have a training aide to get you into the powerful top swing position. Please view www.Pause-n-go.com to see our site and youtube videos. Like the NBS method, we have seen dramatic improvements in our customers games. Wether NBS or Pause N Go, give it a chance and watch your game improve very quickly! Regards, Gary S. Pause N Go golf is very similar to the nbs method, although, there is a backswing.

You can see it on Youtube. He says he does a half swing then focuses on turning then all he does is swing down.

I was unsure because I've never tried it for those shots, and there wasn't really anything in the original article about it (from what I remember). The more I think about it, the less likely I think I would be to try it for short shots. On the other hand, the whole point is eliminating back swing errors, and they definitely happen on short shots too. Either way, I'm very interested to hear how you make out with it. John,

The reason for my question was once your in the set up position you do your turn and I was curious if this applied to other swings or as you stated start from a set position and hit without any further movement back. I am curious if you know golfers using this swing use it for full shots and then go back to the conventional swing for short shots. I asked about the effect on the knee and back because I had two surguries on my front knee and as I get tired I sometimes fail to shift my weight. This swing could help me in respect, I will give it a try. Double EagleThank you for your reply.

I've never tried it for less than full shots, but my assumption is, whatever your normal backswing would look like, just pre-set that position. I'm not sure about the effect on the back and knees. I have a feeling it's probably similar to that of a regular full swing because the real effort occurs on the down swing and that doesn't change with this type of motion. Though, maybe the fact that the transition from back swing to down swing is less drastic might change things, but I can't say for sure. John,

Chips, pitches half wedges ect. How far is the club set up for the speciality shots. Also, is this swing easier on the back and knee?

It is good for practice purposes (to groove a swing ala Mike Weir prior to his actual swing) but I had difficulty utilizing this method on the course while actually playing. Still, I am going to "tinker" with it some more in future practice sessions and some holes while playing.

I'd hit balls with a 2x4 if it helped me play well (and was legal). I agree, Joe. I’d hit balls with a 2×4 if it helped me play well (and was legal).

It is not embarassing if you do it correctly and are good at it. Scoring is the important thing not how the swing looks.

That kind of seems what Hank Haney had Charles Barkley doing this season on The Haney Project. It's certainly a valid way to make a swing. Getting to the top of the swing in the correct position is much of the battle. If you can get there in an unconventional way, it doesn't matter much, as long as you're getting there.
