Always great

McLean always great...The stories are awesome and the instruction is magnificent and way ahead of its time.. He's the best, no doubt in my mind..The book is a must read for anyone who knows anthing about golf.

Good stuff on technique

I found this book to give interesting info on golf technique. The X-factor seems to make sense but it is a theory. I'm not sure if I totally believe in this theory. However, this book does offer some solid technique advice on how to play better and to hit the ball further. I also read recently "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better" by Patrick Leonardi. This book gives you all the necessary and concise information on how to become a scratch golfer. I know because I used it and it helped me shoot scores in the 70-75 range.

The best book I have read on the long game.

I have read several books on golf and the golf swing and this is the best describing the long game. If you want to know how to generate power in the swing, this is the book. Most golf instruction books, videos and television shows describe the golf swing as unusual, unnatural and not anything like other sports. Jim McLean shows how the golf swing is very similar to other sports and imitates common athletic moves. After I read this book I was able to put Jim's concept of the X-Factor to immediate use.
