4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good...*almost* great!, 3 Jan 2006
By A. Robinson "adamdrobinson" (Bolton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First thing to bear in mind, I would not say this is a beginner's book....not an absolute beginner's book, at least. However, it does not try to do this, which is where it gets it's first plus point in my opinion. Too many so-called golfing manuals try to cover the whole of the golf swing, from beginning to end, in the belief that any beginner will pick up everything they need to know from there. Given the number of books on the market, this clearly doesnt work as it is always too subjective.

This book differs vastly in the sense that it works on scientific models, gained from painstaking analysis of a wide range of pro-golfers, then presents these scientific facts in the form of disection, analysis, figures and drills. It's more a book for the struggling mid-handicapper who is constantly frustrated by attempts to improve his or her handicap by buying book after book or video after video, and finding they all present differing views and opinions on every aspect of the game.

For me, it helped a little, but it only really teases at providing the information we need to understand from their analysis in simple layman's terms...that's my only criticism...every so often I was dying for them to just spell out in simple terms a particular movement or motion.

If you're after a book that will tell you to 'pull back this way, hinge wrists here, swing club on this path' then you might be disappointed...it's more complex than that, and requires a couple of reads to get your head round the masses of scientific and statistical analyses on offer.

4 stars for me...nearly 5, but not quite!

5.0 out of 5 stars exceptional, 23 Oct 2004
By A Customer
It pains me to write this review, as i don't really like to give away secrets, but here goes. I have a libray of at least 20 of the so called "best" golf books at home. From Leadbetter to Flick, Toski, Penick, Smith, etc. I have tried most training aids. But lets face it, none of us get any better year on year. Once we reach a certain standard of ball striking our tequnique checks our improvement. In my opinion this may be the only book that will allow you to break through to a higher level of ball striking. The chapter on the setup alone is incredible. I recommend this book over all others. Good luck

5.0 out of 5 stars Technically Superb, 16 May 2004
This book is based solely on Science Fact - not opinion. The sport of Golf has more written about it than perhaps any other sport - the problem is that so much of the literature is contradictory and almost all of it has an element of opinion inherent within it. This book is different, all of the 'lessons' are based upon how the best players in the world play the game - essentially it focuses on what players actually do rather than what they think they do. If you are looking for a book that covers every aspect of the full swing in more detail than any other book then there is no other choice - FACT.
