Rating: Summary: It's what you know for certain that's not true; that's bad Review: Some time ago I dicsovered this genius. His work on golf is the best coaching book ever. It is aslo based on research, theory and common sense. No sport has been written about more with little result. This book is the exception.This book can certainly make you a better golfer. It also explains what gives a golf swing its power and consistency. We are lucky in America to have such a person working for us as a physicist, educator, and now as an author. He book is easy to read if you want information. A little more difficult if you want proof...but he has it in depth. Where do you find enough muscle in the human body to create two horsepower in less than a second. The answer is there and if you can execute what he tells you, you too, can shoot par after a little work. The book is a steel at $30.00; but is even better if you buy it from Amazon. The going price used shows that the book gives advise to the harried golfer which results in some incredible stores of good golf. Thank you Ted for your work and thank you Amazon for letting me give praise to my new Ghuru. Dan Burke
Rating: Summary: The best insight into the golf swing I've ever read Review: The book's major contribution is that it distinguishes clearly between style and fundamentals. It focuses the reader's attention on the downswing and demonstrates the simple moves required to ensure club head acceleration through to impact. By showing how these moves differ when the shaft is above and below the horizontal and how certain other moves destroy club head acceleration in these positions the reader will probably for the first time come away with the true fundamental moves in a golf swing. The most insightful book on golf I've ever read. If you can't handle equations read the chapters for the less mathematically gifted - all the gems are still there.
Rating: Summary: Great reviews! Review: This best-selling title is now in its third printing.
Golfers and physicists alike will find something instructional and enjoyable.
"For anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." --Robert Adair, author of The Physics of Baseball
