Customer Reviews

Best golf book ever

As a golfer looking for guidance on how to improve my game this book was incredible. Leadbetter has a unique ability to breakdown the game to the finest detail in a very clear and concise way. One of my favorite things about this book are the drills it includes. We all know that practicing without a plan leads to little if no results. The drills give you a game plan. I strongly recommend buying this book together with the Practice Golf book also from Leadbetter. I was so impressed with these two books that I went on to buy a third book from Leadbetter which focuses on drills (Faults and Fixes). Having read Tiger Woods golf book recently I can tell you that Leadbetters books are much better.

best of Leadbetter and more

If your golf's library does not have DL's instructional videos and/or books already, this book is definitely for you. If you have, buy this book anyway, it adds to your collection, and also, gives you new thoughts on how you can best "feel" your golf swing, and thus, unlocking your true potential as a golfer, at whatever level that may be. Rather than giving us a mechnaical breakdown of how a perfect swing should be like, which mere mortal like myself would never be able to groove a swing to remotely resemble the perfect swing, DL has given us thoughts on how golf swing should "feel" like, as well as how to groove the feel so as to be repeatable. For example, the thought on how to enable a "connected takeaway" to initiate the backswing has really helped me. There are hosts of others explanations and thoughts you will find useful.

Absolutely Brilliant

Having read his other instructional books, I purchased this one thinking what else can Mr. Leadbetter share. And share he did, from basics to advanced techniques. The photographs (frame by frame) were brilliant and the text were short and crisp - drills that you can take with you to the driving range to try. It would be nicer if he had a section on course management.

The Great Book from a Great Teacher

I have to admit, that I think many other books written by Leadbetter are to mechanical to me. This one is different. I guess Leadbetter also has changed his reputation of being too rigid on mechanics as well. This is the book that I realy enjoy reading. It is the most updated summary about modern swing and who can do that better than the world number 1 teacher himself. For those who just begin golfing, you may not fully understnand what he is talking about now, but I suggest you read this book many times, until you understand what mordern swing is all about.

Throw out all your old golf books and buy this winner

This book is worth every penney in just the first couple of pages. Leadbetter has written a real gem. This book has the nitty gritty details of how to go out and play better golf quickly and easily. I have bought and read about 4 golf books this year and this book is by far the best. Leadbetter has a way of explaining golf in the form of sensations. This book has a great drill that instantly allows you to feel how the swing is "supposed" to be felt. Once I had that sensation in my mind I instantly started hitting a repeatable swing for the first time. I took my wife out golfing today and explained to her that sensation of the swing and she was hitting the ball correctly for the first time. Excellent book, its a winner.
