If you want to hit the golf ball further (and who doesn't!) you need to do flexibility exercises on a regular basis, every body knows that, right? But what exercises should you do? Well, this Golf Flex book details the exact exercises you should do and shows you (with clear pictures) along with simple and clear instructions how you should do each stretch to get the best results for your golf game. I've started using this program and I'm already hitting the ball longer as well as feeling better physically and mentally. I highly recommend that any golfer who want's to make golf easier and more fun get this book and start using it. This book will not do anything for you unless you follow the advice but if you do, watch out - your golf shots will travel further and your golf swings will be easier.I did have a few questions about this book so I emailed Paul and was almost shocked to not only get a response back but the responses to my questions were detailed and well thought out. Get this book today and as soon as you get it start doing the program because the older you get the less flexible you will become UNLESS you do some regular stretching program!

The road less traveled

Here is an interesting route to finding the benefits of Golf Flex. I bought this book several years ago because of my back and shoulder pain kept me from playing golf. I thought it to be overly simple, quite honestly didn't think much of it. Played around with it for a few days then let it collect dust. Recently I spent 2 weeks in a health resort. Every morning we performed either tai chi or something know as the Five Tibetans. Very soothing movement with stretching. After two weeks my back pain was gone and my shoulder felt much better. After coming back home I decided that I would try golf again. I picked up Golf Flex again and it was then it dawned on me that the stretches and the movement were quite similar to what I was doing at the health resort. I've continued with the Golf Flex stretch everyday, not only for pre game stretching, but its the first thing I do in the morning. I've added some other movements that I learned in tai chi and the Five Tibetians. This takes me 10 to 15 minutes per day. My back feels great and I'm back on the course. I don't know if the author was familar with these eastern methods or if this is where east meets west. I highly recommend this book. Do not underestimate it because of it simple layout. There is a big reward for those follow this routine.

Lower your handicap and enjoy the game more

At 49 years old and lately suffering more of the pains of my college sports injuries, by following the stretching exercises in this book not only is my golf game better (handicap is dropping from 14 fast); but I feel much better in general. I had a rotator cuff injury from baseball that would not go away despite visiting the orthopedic surgeon and doing all the prescribed exercizes. If you follow the stretches in this book it will fix you up. Virtually all the soreness in my sholder has disappeared and I'm hitting the ball much better. Smoother swing too! Not only for golf, you'll feel better in general. The exercizes are easy, not time consuming and make an immediate positive difference. I highly recommend it. This book belongs next to Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons".

See ya back pain, hello fair-way!

My Grandfather was a pro and took me golfing with him when I was a young boy. As I got older, I discovered the wonderful world of bodybuilding. Although it has provided me with wonderful health and aesthetic benefits, it also caused muscle tightness and joint pains. Where I use to have a very easy time rotating my torso during the cocking action of the club, I soon began to see an extremely limited range of motion in my back, shoulder and various leg muscles. I desperately needed to stretch the sport specific muscles of my body, in order to play a good game and feel loose enough to relax while playing. This is the beauty of Mr. Paul Frediani's book, Golf Flex! When I first saw the book, I was very intrigued simply by the design and qulity of the book. I was weary though, as they say, Don't judge a book by its cover. This also applies in a negative fashion. I was shocked when I began reading! It not only provided much more than the cover promised, but also gave me a sure-fire plan to wipe my competition out! I soon began to follow Paul's stretching and conditioning program and immedietely noticed unbeleivable results. Not only did my game begin to improve by leaps and bounds, but I felt AMAZING! I am grateful for the book and highly recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in bettering their body and decreasing their score. NO MORE HANDICAP HERE BABY!

Golf Flex

Wow, what a terrific book! It was given to me as a present and was the best gift I've received in ages. My range of motion has improved, I feel more agile, and I'm even hitting the ball further. I intend to keep up with the execrises and hope that my game continues to improve. Thanks for a great, easy to read and follow manual.
