Thumbs Down : 9781600374456 : 21 Aug 2008 : 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!
