Customer Reviews

Excellent Anaysis - if that's what you need.
At a time when I became obsessed with golf this was one of the books I had. Of it's type there's none better. But I'm not sure it will help you improve your own game and swing though - I found I got much better at analysing other players' swings. That didn't improve the harmonious social atmosphere - but if you're better at deciplining your comments, then go for it. But I did warn you. Reading this material can make you quite geeky. (You might find that people want to play with you less than they used to once you've absorbed this book's revelations.)

Difinitive answers to your swing faults.
Finally a book that gives you a difintive yes and no when it comes to your golf swing.

I have numerous golf books that give advice in a general way, essentially saying that you can hold the club with this grip, that grip, the other grip etc, and then gives general advice on if you slice try this or that etc.

This book goes into the scientific reasons why certain things happen to the ball when you swing in a certain manner, it tells you that you MUST stand in this manner to swing correctly and that you HAVE to grip in a certain way etc.

The book gives you specific swing drills to eradicate flaws in your swing and to help you groove a 'perfect' swing in relation to the model pro who's swing is based on an amalgamation of the swings of many of golfing's great players.

Without doubt this is the best golf book I have read and it is already helping me to improve my game with some subtle changes to my grip and swing. So far my handicap has come down 4 strokes so far!!!

Highly, highly recommended.

Well worth a read
I am a 17 hc and was looking to get more consistency in my game. The first chapters on set up is worth buying the book for alone especially if you have not had lessons with a pro before. The advice is easy to take on board and a few sessions down the range ensure that you set up the same way to each shot. As the different aspects of the swing have been obtained from the swings of a large number of top golfers i found myself more willing to take on board what was being explained, as it was not just from one golfer. The drills contained within are also easy to take to the range and after reading the book once i have found myself dipping into it numerous times and practising different things on the range and course. This book seems to have a more scientific approach to the golf swing, but it was still put across in a way that was easy to understand and easy to take to the range. If you are looking to progress and understand the mechanics of what you should be doing with your swing, this book is for you.
