Product Description
Product Description
After teaching hundreds of thousands of golfers in the Golf Digest Instructional Schools they helped to organize, Bob Toski and Davis Love, Jr. perfected a revolutionary way of bringing instinct back to the golf swing. In easy-to follow drills and exercises, How To Feel a Real Golf Swing shows golfers of all abilities how to isolate the different parts of the swing. Each step is designed so that the golfer internalizes the feeling of each part of the swing and can finally put it all together for better results.
How To Feel a Real Golf Swing is the perfect way for golfers to learn on their own time and at their own pace to develop a solid and dependable golf swing: the basis of any good golf game.
From the Hardcover edition.

This book not only informs you of where your hands, head, feet, clubhead, etc. should be at a given time, but how the swing should "feel" at that time as well. For example, I found I was gripping the club too tight just from their descriptions of what the grip should feel like. This book along with Bob Rotella's book on "Golf is not a game of perfect" should be on any golfer's reading list, if they seek improvement in the mental and the sensory aspects of the game...

The most difficult part of golf is the mental game. Though cliched, that statement is incontrovertible. For most golfers, the tendency to view the swing as a mechanized process dominates their swing thoughts. "Keep my left arm straight," "Swing through to the target," "Don't reverse pivot," "Cock/load my wrists," "Put the ball back/up in your stance," "Shorten your backswing. . ." All of these ideas, though fundamentally sound in their physical advice, tend to prevent the golfer from optimizing his/her performance because they force the golfer to consciously force a complex physical activity that should really be driven by the subconscious and feeling.
Bob Toski and Davis Love III have written a book that truly fosters golf as an athletic expression. Rather than burdening ourselves with overly precise mechanical thoughts, we must allow our natural athleticism to shine through and carry our game. The golf swing is a beautiful, fluid motion. To mechanize it detracts from its efficiency and power and renders it less graceful and effective. "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing" provides invaluable drills and advice that will allow you to understand and develop the feeling a good swing creates. It fosters the notion of allowing the arms and club to do the work of turning the body and shifting your weight.
As a serious golf addict and student of the game, this book, more than any other I've read, allowed me to understand my swing and improve my game. We all know the sweet feeling of hitting the ball on the sweet spot, this book devotes itself to the sweet feeling of the entire swing. I give it the highest rating I can.

Being new to golf, I read many books and purchased many videos. This book has been the most helpful by far. Over Jim McClain, Bobby Jones, Ledbetter etc. It truly communicates what you need to feel. Learning mechanics is one thing, but until you FEEL it, you won't progress. Personally, my iron shots now are great! From just one pointer in the book and it is now hard not to hit my irons straight. Great book. Great teachers.

Maybe this was a great book in the 1970's or even earlier, but there's plenty of better books out there today .

Only my opinion but we need more books like this.
There is just too much written about mechanics and not enough on the 'engine' of a golf swing. Read more
