This is the best book ever written.
If you don’t think the proper
shifting of your weight in the golf
swing is not important than you may
believe so after you read this book.
A must read for all high level players
or teachers. It will teach newer golfers
too but make sure you find a PGA golf
professional to give you some lessons.
If your instructor doesn’t teach
similar to what you read in this book
than you may want to try another instructor.
Swing like a Pro is a cutting-edge,
scientific approach to the study of
the golf swing. With scientific accuracy,
biomechanics expert Dr. Ralph Mann
and top PGA instructor Fred Griffin
present golfers with a groundbreaking
guide to a perfect swing.
They have developed a computerized
generated composite “Pro”
that embodies the swings of more than
100 PGA and LPGA Tour players. Based
on empirical evidence rather than
one professional golfer’s opinion,
these two experts combine science,
teaching experience, and the best
swings in the game to provide a consistent
approach to getting the most out of
your golf swing.
Dave Pelz is the encyclopedia of short
game statistics. The average golfer
play’s 70% of their strokes
from within 100 yards. What better
reason to put a synthetic practice
area in your backyard. The most important
and yet least focused-on aspect of
golf, your short game, can indeed
make or break your entire game.
Ben Hogan
was probably the hardest working golfer
in history. We all know he could play
the game. This book is like the encyclopedia
of golf. He covers everything from
set up to swinging the club. Ben Hogan
has given us some of the greatest
quotes about golf I have ever heard.
“The difference between amateurs
and professionals is amateurs start
their downswings with the upper bodies
and professionals start their downswings
with their lower bodies.” Another
quote I love as a golf instructor
is “Golf is a game of misses,
but the better your technique, the
better your misses.”

Tempo: Golf’s Last Secret Finally
Revealed by John Novocel
and John Garrity
When Phil
Rodgers said to me eight years ago,
“One of the worst things you
can tell someone is to take the club
back slowly.” It made me stop
and think. Every month one of the
golf magazines has an article about
how slow you need to take the club
back. Pros don’t take the club
back slowly. They actually all take
it back within one tenth of a second.
Pro’s just have such great rhythm
that they look like they aren’t
swinging so hard. The great thing
about the book is it comes with a
cd to help you practice the same tempo
as your favorite pros. I guarantee
it will seem fast at first. There
are thousands of golf books out there
on the market, this is worth reading
so you can laugh when your friends
are taking the club back slowly and
you’re hitting it by them with
every club.
