Rating: Summary: The Ultimate "How To" Catalogue for your Golf Swing Review: This enormous book (80 faults and fixes!) is the ultimate troubleshooting reference for your swing. It is laid out in an incredibly logical, easy to reference fashion, with the sections broken into chapters such as "FULL SWING -- THE ADDRESS" and "FULL SWING -- AT THE TOP" and "THE SHORT GAME -- CHIPPING" and even "THE GAME IN GENERAL." Within these chapters you are bound to locate the problems that you are facing on the course and the solution thereto suggested by Golf Digest's "Best Coach Of All Time."Most of the 80 fixes are limited to two to four paragraphs of text and a few -- usually not more than two -- illustrations, so it could be argued that the book takes on too much and accomplishes too little; but I believe that any more information on any given problem would most likely be overkill. In fact, if I have anything negative to say at all about this book, it's one of inclusion, rather than omission: I see no reason for Leadbetter to have rated each fault with a gimmicky "Golf Ball Rating" (one to three) which indicates whether the problem usually occurs with "the better golfer," "the average player" or "unversally." I mean, you either have the problem or you don't, so I don't see what purpose the rating is there to serve. But that's a very very minor annoyance that can be easily ignored, so I give this book a full five stars.
Rating: Summary: A great golfer's reference book... Review: This is a great reference book for advanced beginners and beyond. Each "fault" and "fix" is clearly described in one page. Even my husband, who has golfed for years and rarely seeks advice from books, finds this book quite useful. It will stay within easy reach on our bookshelf for as long as we play this game...

Rating: Summary: slice no more ! Review: Upon purchasing this book I was able to resolve several of my most nagging golf swing faults , i.e. slicing, topping and fat shots. I now have more confidence in my game and see the results in the form of lower scores. I would highly recommend purchasing another of Mr. Leadbetters books titled "The Fundamentals of Hogan". When used in conjunction these books are a solid referance/teaching tool that should help most golfers improve thier game. Information in one title can be found in the other but The Fundamentals of Hogan goes more in depth and is a solid starting point whereas Faults and Fixes is a troubleshooting guide for when the "basics" arent working. Overall I would say that both books are an indespesible addition to any golfers library! Happy golfing !
