    The document provides instructions for Jack Kuykendall's E2E (Elbow-to-Elbow) golf swing method. It states that the basic drills should be performed a minimum of three times a week for two years to fully ingrain the motion. Within 90 days the new swing patterns will be established in short term memory, and accuracy and power will improve over six months and two years with persistence. It then details the key aspects of the single-axis right hand grip and stabilized-wrist-on-plane left hand grip, and illustrates the swing motion in a series of photos with explanations. Finally it outlines some sample drills to practice the method along with notes on developing consistency in distance control

    (patent pending) Jack Kuykendall’s E2E (Elbow-to-Elbow)

    The Basic E2E drills consist of hitting 40 balls each practice session. The second drills are hitting 4
    balls with each club with a full shot, two partial shots and one open stance shot. You should perform
    the basic 40 ball drill a minimum of three times a week for the next two years. Neuroscience
    references state that this is the time frame for the motion to become automatic (move from short term
    memory to the outer cortex). The first 30 days will be as frustrating as anything you have ever done to
    change your mechanics. You have no brain patterns established to allow your body to perform the
    E2E mechanics. Until a pattern is established in short term memory (the hippocampus), every
    movement will be difficult to perform. It takes about 30 days to establish useable patterns. Within 90
    days, you will establish useable patterns in short term memory and will be striking the ball better.
    Around the six month time frame, you will start to believe that you have conquered golf mechanics. If
    you stop doing the drills, short term memory will dump the patterns and you will be starting over
    again. You must persist for two years.

    pronated on top of the grip.

    The SWOP grip allows the wrist to remain stable from address to impact. The back of the leading
    hand remains on plane from address to impact. This allows for a double shortening of the radius
    during the downstroke. The combination of on-plane and double shortening of the radius produces
    greater clubhead speed and dramatically improved accuracy.

    accuracy.
    After impact, chase after the ball with the right arm. Let the
    hands rotate naturally to the position shown. Keep the eyes
    focused in the impact zone.
    DRILL #1:
     Hit 10 balls off the Alignment/Practice mat with a wedge
    using the E2E trainer and MGNS.
     Swing at 20% clubhead speed. This drill is to train your
    elbows to move around your spine.

    DRILL #2:
     Hit 10 balls off the Alignment/Practice mat with a wedge using
    the LPG and MGNS trainers
     You can obtain 90% of your distance with these two training
    aids.

    DRILL #3:
     Hit 10 balls off the Alignment/Practice mat with a wedge
    without training aids.

    Drill #4:
     Hit 10 balls off the Alignment/Practice mat with a wedge sitting
    on a stool
     This is an extremely important drill; it lets you prove to yourself
    that clubhead speed comes from the arms and that the body is
    just a stabilizer.
    o You should hit the ball within 5% of you standing up
    distance.

    Scoring in golf takes place from 100 yards and in shots. You must know the distances and have
    extreme confidence in producing partial shots. When you complete the chart distances, your scores
    will be optimized.
    Wall Sponge Trainer:

    Using the E2E Trainer, take the SWOP left hand grip with separated fingers or with the index finger
    wrapped around the grip. Pull the right elbow back and rotate the shoulders until the sponge touches
    the wall. Pull the left elbow around the body. Do this drill for 20 repetitions every day.

    Alignment Practice Mat:


    I have many students who hit the ball as-good-as or better than I do on the range. When we do a
    playing lesson, they play very poorly. The majority of the time, the reason is alignment. The majority
    of golfers line to the right and pull their arms back across the body. This is a vision problem that can
    only be corrected with a training aid that allows your vision to continually observe correct alignment.
    Again, a training aid is needed to assure correct alignment. The brain has to build patterns for correct
    visual alignment. Watch tour players warm up before a tournament. They practice alignment and
    tempo. Correct alignment is a continuous training of the brain’s visual patterns.
