Product Description

About the authors

JOE DANTE is one of America's best-known teaching professionals. Like his father, the late James J. Dante, co-author of The Nine Bad Shots of Golf, Joe has concentrated on the teaching side of the game. The hours he spends each season on the tee and giving playing lessons will match those of any club pro in America. The esteem in which his Rockaway River Country Club members hold him is attested to by the annual "day" given him—known as "Dante's Inferno." He has been so plied with gifts at these affairs that, on occasion, he has had to hire a truck to take them home. Dante is married and is the father of two boys. He was recently elected president of the New Jersey Professional Golfers' Association.

LEN ELLIOTT, sports editor of the Newark News since 1939, has studied and written extensively about both the technique and mechanics of the golf swing. As a senior golfer he has been a serious contender in both the New Jersey and New York Metropolitan championships, and in three attempts has thrice qualified sectionally in the USGA national senior championship. With Joe Dante he wrote Stop That Slice; with Jim Dante and Leo Diegel The Nine Bad Shots of Golf.

I went from a 3 handicap in high school to what G.P.Wodehouse describes as a "goof". When I couldn't play every day my game went to pot. I had never developed a solid swing that I could repeat time after time, I was clueless. I am now 41 years old and this book changed my life. Well, my golf life at least. I love the game again. Joe Dante teaches the "magic moves" in a way even I can understand and I'm a hardheaded old dog to whom new tricks are hard to teach.

The key to golf is delivering the club head to the ball square to the target (accuracy) while generating maximum club head speed (distance). Dante's early wrist break method is the key to consistent accuracy. His lateral hip shift is no secret to golf but it is the key to clubhead speed. The magic is that Dante teaches these moves in such a clear and concise way that, if you follow directions and practice his method, you will improve your golf swing and scores!

I have read about every book on the golf swing. This one has changed my game forever. Other than Hogan's Five Fundamentals, I have never experienced such an immediate change in the way I swing the club than since reading this book. It was like a light went on and in a instant, I UNDERSTOOD the objective. I have read it dozens of times and bought more than one copy for friends. It examines many errors of teaching, and takes the reader to the "four magic moves" that must be mastered to create a repeating and efficient swing.

This book lit a fire in my and my love for the game, and the feeling that I can "get it", continues to burn.

I purchased this book at a used book store in 1969. After reading it I loaned it to a friend who never returned it. As a beginner at the time, it helped me more than any other golf book, before or since. I've been searching for another copy of the book in bookstores, new and used, ever since. As a lark, I decided to check the Amazon list and sure enough there it is, having been republished. I am currently a nine handicapper, but I feel I still need to have this book again. I especially recommend it to beginners, but I believe experienced golfers will also benefit. I am ordering me another copy today.

Skim read the waffle and Digest the gems
It's true that this book is full of waffle and you only really need to read about 5-10 pages of it. They are however the best 5 or so pages in any golf book (and I've read a few!). Read more

The move that avoids the easy-chair slouch and gets you to the top correctly is simply a purposeful shoulder turn with a firm retention of the wrist position gained by the back­ward break. &quote;
Highlighted by 55 Kindle users
&quote;
The hips must not only move to the left and turn, their movement must be so closely tied to the left arm that it pulls the arm and the club down and whips them through the ball. &quote;
Highlighted by 49 Kindle users
&quote;
When the hips exert this pulling action, they cause the shoulders and the left arm to revolve so fast around the axis of the upper spine that the hands have little or no time to manipulate or do anything whatever with the club except hang onto it. If there is one single secret to the golf swing, this is it. &quote;
