Best golf swing book.

This was by far the best golf swing book I have ever read. With this and Take dead aim. My golf game will improve. This will take a little getting used to. On my first try at the range I was much more relaxed and hit the ball just as far and straighter. Stop complaining about your clubs and buying the latest tech gear and learn to swing the club.

This book is a must for golfers.  I refer to it as the golf bible. If a part of your game breaks down look to this book for the answers.

I like to read the old books about golf. Five Lesson from Ben, Swing the Clubhead, etc.

I like this book, it provides insight about how to play really good golf. I have read over couple of dozen golf books and this is certainly the one in top of my list.

In comparison of new golf books versus the old ones, I found that there is more fundamental skill that descripted very clearly for the old ones. Maybe, it is because in the old days, if you need to play well, you can only rely on the technical skill, but today, you can sometimes rely on the technology. It is not easy to find those secret from the new published books.

I read this book and worked on some of the drills the following week.  It was totally worth it.  If you are a golfer that is constantly concerned about your grip, takeaway, top of the backswing position and never seem to swing down and through the ball effortlessly this book is for you.  It teaches you how to release the club correctly first and once you have that feel of swinging from a firm left side, supinated left wrist hitting down and through you can make minor adjustments to your grip, takeaway and backswing to put you in the perfect position to obtain that effortless speed you are looking for.

This book has clear, authoritative descriptions of the inner workings of Swing. Well worth the money, and superior to other Swing books.
The interaction diagrams that show how the Swing components work together to  delegate functionality are very useful.

Joseph Parent truly succeeds in integrating what he has learned from his Zen teachers and teachings with one's round of golf. His book is a must for all golfers, beginners and experts alike, duffers and long hitters. Points that Parent makes including breathing, putting beyond the cup, and not hitting "anyways shots" will truly improve one's round of golf. It will also impact a reader's attitude toward hitting the ball... from approach to follow-through, from driving to putting. Zen Golf is a great book and the unabridged book on CD is a must for travelers. The book has my highest recommendation.

I have invested the last year building a correct, accurate and repeatable golf swing.  During that time I've read more than twenty golf instruction books.  My readings have helped build my understanding of the golf swing and have supplemented my golf lessons.
This book is one of the lesser known golf instructional books by a relatively unknown author.  Through my readings I have found that the most well-known professional golfers don't necessarily produce the best golf instructional books.
For a clear, fundamental description of the golf swing, this book is one of the best.  With the instruction in the book, your understanding of the body movements required to create a correct golf swing will grow rapidly.  Using the instruction in this book, my golf swing improved dramatically in a very short time.
I highly recommend this book.  If you are just beginning to play golf or if you are a long time hacker wanting to learn a proper and correct golf swing, this is the book that will give you the instruction you need to improve rapidly.

I have played golf for some 15 years in total. A friend of mine recommended this book as I was trying to break 80.  I would honestly say that after reading it and applying its fundamentals to my swing this book has definitely changed my game and therefore deserves all 5 stars.  I now have much more control and power to my shots.  Even though the material is almos 50 years old, the text is very to the point and easy to read and I like the drawings.

As a footnote (and it is also stated in the book) you cannot accomplish all this by yourself.  It is very valuable to go through these fundamentals with a friend for instant feedback.

The best golf book I have ever read. I would recommend it to every golfer who wants to improve his game. I can't wait to hit some real balls. It is cold where I live now, but I just went in the back yard and hit some plastic balls, unbelievable.  LOL  the best one I hit was with my eves closed. 8 iron sailed over the house and settled in the front yard. I even hit my 4 iron well, That was a club I never use. Watch his videos first before reading the book. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

When published this book was regarded as the finest instruction manual for golfers, ever written.  This is still the case some 50 years later as befits its author, for me, the finest ball striker of them all.  Not just my opinion, it is shared by many eminent professionals, not least Jack Nicklaus.  Purchased this as a birthday present for my son in law who has recently taken up the game and he is already reporting speedy improvement!

This book has really helped my golf game.  It provided me with the information I needed to correct the problems I had with my golf swing and short game.  A great book.

I've been at this wonderful game of golf for over 10 years and of all of the books I've read this is, by virtue of its refreshingly sound simplicity, the absolute best. What I like is that if doesn't follow the convention of the vast majority of instructional books out there that expect the reader to have a million swing thoughts to get the job done. Guys like Peltz and Ledbetter do offer great advice but Ernie Els points to the most valuable aspects of building a swing and hammers and hammers the point home to the reader on how essential they are.  These are why Ernie Els has THE sweetest golf swing on the tour.  It is a work of art.  It's not the controlled power swing of Tiger who's textbook swing is anything but voilent, but one that is as deliberate as it is precise.  It is the result of paying attention to the basics.  In this book, El's points to the importance of fundementals.  I mean, he REALLY emphasizes their importance as the foundation to building a great, sound swing.  It may come across as oversimplified but the advice he gives on grip, rhythm, posture, and aim is put forth in an almost Zen-like fashion.  Readers are expected to pay attention to these seemingly mundane fundamentals everytime they step up to the ball. According to Els, the rest will follow from there and after following his sage advice, I've found that he is absolutely right.  Now the reader that complained that the advice is not easy to implement is wrong.  He is missing the point of the book.  El's is not trying to tell you how to swing like him, he's telling how you can build your own "classic" swing but the way I see it, you have to decide if you are patient, as well as disciplined, enough to do what he tells you.  Trust me, it worked miracles with my game and it most definitely can with yours.

The Golf Swing, by Leadbetter, is an instruction book that explains the swing in a very simple way.  Practice what he writes and develop a repeating swing.

This book will help you find it, uncomplicate it and play better the next round.
He goes step by step through the grip, setup and swing, with great photos from all angles.
Useful drills as well, especially the one about finding your tempo by gripping the clubhead and taking some swings this way.

Jim McLean is the absolute best instructor I've seen.  He takes the swing very slowly and methodically.  He demonstrates what elements are critical, and where you have room for individuality.  Even though he is on DVD, you can tell he is very patient with the amateur.  On each step of the swing, he describes what is critical, where there is some room for divergence, and what is absolutely deadly to your swing.  He also demonstrates many exercises to make sure that you perform each step correctly.  If you have a large living room, I suggest grabbing a short iron and swinging right in front of your television - you'll instantly realize where you are going wrong and feel instant improvement.  I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who has a basic understanding of the game of golf but wants to master their swing.

This book is the best book I've ever read on golf related injuries. This book is a must for anyone who wants to enjoy playing golf for a lifetime. This book not only prescribes treatment for existing injuries, but also gives valuable advice on how to avoid them. Pick it up.
