Complementary to the 8 Step Swing

This is a solid book to help reinforce lessons based upon Jim McLean's 8 Step Swing. This covers the full swing down to putting. A brief introduction followed by simple illustrations and explanations help the student understand the necessary movements. Many of the drills are covered by websites and monthly golf magazine articles; however, this is a compendium of drills to help any level of golfer. Overall, this is a book that complements conventional golf techniques.

How to Fix What Ails Your Swing

To change a swing you've got to groove it. To do that, you need a drill. Here is a book of over 100 of them, from a full-swing to short game, to alignment and warmup.McClain does a great job here, and the illustrations are helpful. Excellent helps for correcting a slice and increasing club head speed.

Practice Drills for the Perfect Game

Practice makes perfect - so goes the saying. This holds true in that wonderful game of golf. The Book of Drills teaches the golfer (of whatever skill level,from beginner to competitor) to hone on his skills and play better golf. One may also use it to aid a beginning golfer - a must for all golfers, especially instructors.

Wow, what an effective book!

This book is great. It lowered my score by ten strokes. I am only fifteen, five foot five, playing for two years and I hit the ball an average of 215 yards off the tee and fairly straight. I have hit straght shots up to 260 yards, when my previous average was 165.
