I have found the Holy Grail!

Oh the years I have spent trying to master the beautiful art of the golf swing employing various "pros" to take a look and help me to hit my shot where I’m aiming. All that occurred was a circling around the problems in my swing until I found this book. It so simply puts across what you need to know, it has identified how people, who can shoot 60, swing their golf club to produce such awe-inspiring accuracy and distance. By reading this book and taking note of every piece of content it would be amazing for anybody not to drastically improve their game. The book helps to explain how deviating from the proven successful way of swinging leads amateur golfers into allsorts of trouble. The drills that are illustrated and explained so simply help the reader to understand the mechanics of their own bodies and how to manipulate their bodies to produce the best golf swings of their lives. The illustration of the pro swing using the computer model helps the reader to visualize all the minute idiosyncrasies of a professional golf swing and the explanation of the "transition" highlights such an obvious flaw in so many amateurs swing. This is by far the most illuminating book on the golf swing I have ever read and by far and away the most useful in helping me to develop my swing so that I can shoot under 70 which, since reading this book, I have managed to do although I hasten to add it did also take a few hundred hours on the range and out on the course which this book highlights is very much part of improving your game.

| An excellent, essential book. |
|
A remarkable book. Ralph Mann, scientist, offers "reality, not fantasy"; Fred Griffin, teacher, provides useful advice on how to apply, practically, Dr. Manns computer generated "pro" to a readers golf swing. Together they repudiate the myths of the golf swing with fact-based research. This accessible book takes a step by step approach to the swing; like all good prose, it is intelligently written without being self-consciously intellectual. "Having the right information is essential to having a good swing," they say in the preface. Swing Like a Pro has the right information. This book is essential for any person who cares about the game of golf.

| The best golf swing book Ive read |
I have played golf for a few years and had lessons from several different pros. Although my game was basically OK I always felt that it was hard to find someone who could provide a definitive set of actions and drills that would allow me to build a consistent and technically sound golf swing. I read magazines but often felt that there was too much contradictory information around, with even fundamental ideas changing as trends changed.This book is excellent because it is not based on opinion, but rather on scientific research. The books demonstrates why it recommends a certain course of action using clear pictures and simple text and provides excellent drills. I found many of the ideas in the book going against what some pros had told me and certainly what many magazines say but having used the drills for a couple of months now I can safely say that they work. My handicap has dropped 5 shots (19 to 14) and I can consistently hit the ball straight. When the ball does not go straight I am now able to easily feel where the swing went wrong and correct it for the next shot. Many of the drills take a lot of practice, but we all know that to improve in this game you have to practice anyway. I am just gald to know that I can now practice things that will help my game, rather than just ingrain old habits.
