Summary: Perhaps the best golf swing book ever!
Review: David Leadbetter follows what the greatest Ben Hogan wrote in the 50's in the classic "Modern Fundamentals", but puts some slight changes in the Ben Hogan swing mechanics that make one's swing much more perfect and powerful. This book really teaches all golf fans what the swing must be, to achieve a solid and repeatable golf swing in which the player can trust, specially under pression. Learning and puting in practice what's in this book, anyone can score under 80.

Review: David Ledbetter has presented the essential elements of the swing in an easily read and understandable format. After reading the instructions, the only conclusion one can reach is that to have a successful, repeating swing, the hands must be passive throughout the swing.The book instructs the reader how to accomplish the "hands off" swing while not becoming bogged down in endless, boring details. A must read for any golfer wanting to imporve.

Summary: Great Compliment
Review: I give this book 5 stars as a compliment to three golf lessons (30 min each). Together these two sources made me enjoy the game. I had lessons every Saturday for three weeks and studied in between. The book defined THE SWING. The instructor thought me how to get there. He verified, corrected, showed, and developed a simple plan. My first two rounds of golf was fun and successful.

Summary: Good, but...
Review: I'm a fan of this book and it really does break down the swing very nicely. There are some points, however, that quite align with "modern" practices. The grip, for instance, is a little weak compared to what Mr. Leadbetter professes in his more current instruction books. It's a good read, but if you're only going to get one Leadbetter book I'd go for Leadbetter's 100% Golf. It's a little more reader-friendly and covers not only the swing but the short game and putting as well.

Summary: Detailed Breakdown of the Golf Swing
Review: Leadbetter sure knows the golf swing, and has demonstrated that he can communicate this to others, evidenced by his renown work with some of golf's greats which he has helped. I find myself in the group which highly respects Leadbetter, but finds that he gives too much. The many mechanical steps with all their relating swing thoughts and helps makes it far too mechanical and detailed for me, as well as for the likes of Bob Tway and Seri Pak who have chosen to go to more of a feel type help. I find that John Jacobs stuff fits more to what I need from a help book, which can line up with what my ball is doing, and then offer advice to remedy it, rather than break down the backswing into ten steps. To each his own. Many wiil find this of great benefit.

Summary: Excellent description of the elements of a golf swing
Review: This excellent book contains a detailed and comprehensive description of a proper golf swing, with good illustrations and swing thoughts so the reader can incorporate the proper techniques into practice. The book includes simple, effective swing concepts that are not covered by other golf books. True to its title, this book addresses the golf swing only and does not attempt to cover the complete game. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve his or her golf swing.
