THE ONLY GOLF INSTRUCTION BOOK NECESSARY

This book is excellent and will help your golf game to improve quickly. It is not as good as his previous instruction book which revolutionalized golf instruction (seriously), However it is the best available today. This book and One Move to Better Golf are great companions and the two books complete my library of golf instruction books. In 1977 I acquired "one Move" and quickly became a low single digit handicap at 15 years old after playing only 1 year, 2 years later I was able to choose my college because of the many scholarship offers. My colegiate career was blessed with 13 wins in 4 years as a result of Carl's book, Professionally I earned over $2 million before sustaining an injury that prevents me from playing 4 days in a row. However as a weekend player this method allows me to maintain a +3 handicap without hours of practice or the stregnth and flexibility I once enjoyed. BUY THIS BOOK. READ IT. LOVE IT. Write the author and ask for a re-release of the original book as well.

The Best Instruction Book in Golf, BAR NONE!

Carl Lohren teaches how to perpetuate the most important asset in the golf swing, left side dominance. His teachings of the preset and swing make it easy to keep the club on plane, get the maximum power at impact, hit the ball consistently on the clubface, and allow your "big" muscles to control the swing (not your hands and arms) for maximum control. His principle of openness at address and starting the swing with ONLY the left shoulder gives the golfer the ability to control the ball and "swing late" to maximize power without having to think about (which is nearly impossible to do). His easy to understand principles are the reason for my game's vast improvement. Treat this book as your Bible of golf and you will be amazed at your incredible increase in power and control in your game.

A fantastic, user friendly golf improvement system for all.

Carl Lohren understands the golf swing better than anyone else. The benefit to the reader of this book is that he communicates his knowledge in a simple, user friendly fashion. He doesn't fill your head with unnesssary thoughts that can destroy your swing. Carl's method allows you to focus on what you can control in your golf swing and allows you to see lasting results quickly. Unlike the methods taught in other golf instruction books, Carl's methods do not result in poorer play before you see improvement -- you see it right away.
