"Every since Jimmy Ballard
and I started working and fixed my back, basically fixed my back. The guy is brilliant. He taught me to
swing with this thing and got the pressure off it. I changed the whole feel of my swing. I hit the ball better
than I've hit it all my life."

"Since working with Jimmy, I have never hit the ball better in my whole
life. The ball goes to the target."

"I thought I was more of an
upright swinger," Durant explained. "I had really gotten flat and around, and Jimmy, he just kind of took a couple
looks at me and said, hey, let's see you get the club a little more up instead of around. I feel like I'm tracking the club
down a much better plane now. I'm still working on it, got a ways to go, but I'm hitting a lot better shots. It does feel very familiar," Durant said. "I
was getting to the point where I was thinking that my body was starting to hurt. It had never hurt before, but because of
the swings that I had been making, I couldn't keep doing it. It feels pretty good."
Joe Durant - PGA Tour Professional
"Ballard has revolutionized the teaching of golf over the last
twenty years as much as Ping has the manufacturing of golf clubs…and he's the only teacher who can explain where the
pieces of the golf swing puzzle fit. . ."
