Please continue to keep checking back to this page as we are constantly adding reviews. Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com For genuine game improvement this book is THE ONE !! | Customer Rating: | Like many other reviewers I've tried various methods of improving my game over many years to little or no avail.
And then I stumbled across this book.
You can spend countless hours and huge sums of money on DVDs, lessons, gimmicks and whatever, and end up failing to improve, but for truly excellent instruction explained very clearly and graphically this book is THE ONE. The book explains many erstwhile mysteries like why you should use a strong grip, what the swing path should look like and why, and it reveals the 'big secret' transition move that gives great golfers greater distance and accuracy, which I estimate added 10-20 yards to my longer shots the very first time I tried it! There are some major surprises in this book which confounded my previously held beliefs.
A word of advice: work your way logically through the book from the beginning - there are no shortcuts to good golf and the fundamentals are, well,.......fundamental!
There's a whole load of rubbish out there in terms of instruction DVDs and books which often state conflicting OPINIONS on how to swing a club, so save yourself a lot of time, money and wasted effort and buy this book if you want to know the FACTS about how top pros really swing a golf club and how you can emulate them!
| Excellent Anaysis - if that's what you need. | Customer Rating: | | 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. | Customer Rating: | 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 | Customer Rating: | | 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. | The last word in full swing Mechanics?..check. | Customer Rating: | Just finished reading this book. I simply cannot sing it's praises more highly nor express greater platitudes than already offered by others. Perhaps the most honest thing I can say is that it will be the last book on the subject of full swing mechanics that I buy. There just isn't a need to have it explained further.Quite simply-job done. If these guys ever get around to writing a companion volume on short game I want an advanced copy!
I was guided to this book by it's excellent reviews and I hope to now have the pleasure of passing such a favour on by adding my own humble recommendation. My compliments to the authors for their clarity, logic and dilligence in bringing this tome to market. First class. |
