    About me:



    Leap Ahead to the Next Level…

    WHAT IS LEAP GOLF™?  

    Leap Golf™ is a unique approach that blends traditional golf instruction with athletic performance enhancement and movement learning techniques to accelerate the average golfer’s ability to learn and perform the fundamental movements that make up and efficient, powerful and repeatable golf swing.

    LEAP Golf™:

    • Incorporates neuromuscular training to reprogram movement.
    • Makes performing the golf swinging motion more natural and repeatable.
    • Creates immediate results in both ball striking and “the look” of your golf swing.
    • Allows you to finally experience what “effortless power” feels like.
    • Reduces stress on your spine and body.

    Leap Golf™ is not a new theory or opinion about the golf swing.  There is no new information about the golf swing, only better ways to communicate and apply it correctly. 

    It doesn’t do you any good to continue seeking golf instruction unless your body can perform the movement – that’s what LEAP Golf™ helps you accomplish.

    Lessons include state-of-the-art
    video analysis with JC Video System.

     

    HOW LEAP GOLF™ CAN BENEFIT YOU

    Leap Golf™ recognizes that each individual has uniquely organized their movement patterns and therefore, each student will learn differently.  We specialize in systematically diagnosing each student and identifying the barriers to moving properly.

    Our approach is designed to minimize lost time or energy spent working on swing concepts that are not related to the root cause of your poor ball striking and may actually inhibit your ability to move properly and cause undue stress on your back and joints.

    One-on-one instruction to maximize the efficiency of your learning.

    You owe it to yourself to experience this remarkable system of accelerated learning.  We truly believe you will finally be able to Learn, Experience, Apply and Perform the golf swing with the fundamental movements used by great ball strikers…and pure it!

     

    JON MANACK
    Director of Golf Instruction
    LEAP Golf™

    Beginning golf at a very early age and having successfully competed at every level from junior golf to professional tours, I have spent my life learning and applying the fundamentals of efficient ball striking.

    For the majority of my career I have concentrated my efforts on what I call “staying in the shot”.  This refers to maintaining the body’s angles to properly and aggressively strike the ball in a manner which compresses it for maximum efficiency at impact.

    In my pursuit of perfecting the golf swing, I used unconventional tactics in order to maneuver my body into positions that would allow proper movement without thought or manipulation.  This process allowed me to more rapidly change what I wanted to accomplish in my swing.

    Having worked closely with top Physical Therapists and Sports Medicine Specialists in the development of Leap Golf™, we have taken those tactics and applied the scientific and anatomical principals behind them in order to develop a formula that when applied correctly, shortens the learning curve to improvement.

    Lessons conducted in a structured
    environment set apart from
    the general public.
