Easy to understand!!

I really love this book. A lot of pictures and motion sequences. I hvae read "Faults and Fixes" which is written by the same author. If you want to read this, buy together.

Great & Easy to Understand

I was attracted by "David Leadbetter". This book illustrates many simple but useful exercises for golfers/beginners. It comes with sufficient 4-color photos to illustrate, more easier to understand. Highly recommend to golfers who want to improve their games consistently and accurately.

Maximize Your Practice Time

Most golfers want to improve, but don't know how and/or don't want to put in the effort with positive practice.This is where this book comes in. It goes over basics of swing and then shows how one can track and practice those aspects of the game that are losing you shots.Diagnostics are similar to John Jacobs' "Golf Doctor" who influenced Leadbetter much.Here though in the book are really good drills and practice tips that will help the beginner through intermediate. The more advanced player is usually a good practicer already or doesn't need it.

Excellent book for a beginner

I bought my clubs on June 6, 1998, and the book a week later. I had never played golf prior to buying the clubs. I have practiced the methods David showed in the book and average a score in the high 90's. The book is very easy to understand, and the pictures show you the exact form and motions required. If you are trying to learn golf, this is an excellent purchase. (July 29, 1998)
