Customer Reviews

Perhaps the best golf swing book ever!

David Leadbetter follows what the greatest Ben Hogan wrote in the 50's in the classic "Modern Fundamentals", but puts some slight changes in the Ben Hogan swing mechanics that make one's swing much more perfect and powerful. This book really teaches all golf fans what the swing must be, to achieve a solid and repeatable golf swing in which the player can trust, specially under pression. Learning and puting in practice what's in this book, anyone can score under 80.

Great Compliment

I give this book 5 stars as a compliment to three golf lessons (30 min each). Together these two sources made me enjoy the game. I had lessons every Saturday for three weeks and studied in between. The book defined THE SWING. The instructor thought me how to get there. He verified, corrected, showed, and developed a simple plan. My first two rounds of golf was fun and successful.

Excellent description of the elements of a golf swing

This excellent book contains a detailed and comprehensive description of a proper golf swing, with good illustrations and swing thoughts so the reader can incorporate the proper techniques into practice. The book includes simple, effective swing concepts that are not covered by other golf books. True to its title, this book addresses the golf swing only and does not attempt to cover the complete game. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve his or her golf swing.

great book, from cover to cover

very descriptive and informative, excellent book

A GOLF ADDICT'S KEEPER
