How John Carlton Hooks The Audience With The Headline
“If petite women and 12-year-old kids are using the secret to hit perfect drives over 250 yards, imagine what it can do for you.
How does an out-of-shape, 55-year-old golfer, crippled by arthritis & 71 lbs overweight, still consistently humiliate PGA Pros in head to head by hitting every tee shot further and straighter down the Fairway?”
Wow! This is simply genius.
The heading and the subheading do a great job of hooking the readers instantly, by sharing the story of a 55-year-old golfer who, while overweight and suffering from arthritis, consistently beats PGA Pros.
That is indeed surprising - and thus, deeply drives curiosity.
As a quick note, it is a sign of good copy when you really want to know what happens next.
Moreover, the subheading makes a huge claim that 12-year-old kids and women are using this technique to hit perfect drives over 250 yards, and therefore, so can you!
As a reader within the target audience, you will be instantly sold - and that’s why the copy is very effective.

After reverse-engineering 100 world-class sales letters in 100 days...
I've put together a FREE 7-part guide that reveals a unique persuasion method secretly used by the greatest copywriters of all time called:
"Neuroplastic Belief-Shifting"
Revealing The Solution Early In The Copy
“It is an amazingly simple ‘two-step’ maximum distance revelation that will take you just 3 swings to master yourself
…instantly pumping massive payloads of accurate power into your swing no matter how uncoordinated or out of shape you are
.… and guaranteeing your very next tee shot will be a breathtaking dead solid straight drive of 250-plus yards. Plus, if you aren’t convinced, these guys will pay you $10.”
Well, I am blown away by the lead.
This is why I am analyzing the lead and the rest of the copy in separate videos, so we can break down every section of the copy in detail.
Now, the target audience has already tried several programs over the years. They are struggling with health problems and want to play golf like a pro.
Well, the copy promises just that!
A simple 2-step technique that you can master in 3 swings, which guarantees accurate shots within 250 yards.
Or you get $10.
This is the kind of confidence you want when selling a product.
John Carlton’s copy is very specific. He has made sute that every word earns its place in the copy.
This ad is also a great example of how to do ‘the slippery road’ right in your promotions - cultivating the need to the reader to read the next sentence.
