There is some good work that went into this book. You really feel like you understand about Steve Elkington’s swing. The pictures are great. I’ve also never had back spasms before until giving Elkington’s book a try. Beware the man who advises a violent turn of the abs toward the rib cage…ouch!

Like most golf books, you learn next to nothing. Elkington has one of the great swings of all time but it’s unlikely you’ll mimic it after reading his book. Poor quality photos.

I found this book enlightening, particularly with regard to the section on transition. I have squandered years trying to figure out how to get from backswing to forward swing and this book finally allowed the “light to go off.” His explanation on lowering and then raising the shoulder to initiate swings for the short game and putting are ridiculously simple. Having said that, I must say that it is a joke that the binding of this book literally disintegrates with use. I have bought 2 books thinking that the first one was just a fluke but, unfortunately both fell apart in my hands. Shame on Ballantine Books for allowing such shoddy workmanship.

This is one of the best instruction books I have found. I found this book to be easy reading with excellent swing instructions.

Possessing one of the simpliest and classically crafted golf swings of any professional, Steve Elkington makes the vision come to life with excellent practical instruction accompanied by wonderful photographs. The format is basically the same as the Hogan classic. Starting with grip, and proceeding to downswing and follow-through, Elkington’s interpretation is fresh and better explained than Hogan’s. The drawings in the Hogan book are still classic and in Elkington’s book are replaced by great photographs. Read the section on the grip and what to do with the thumbs, I’m sure you’ll find that tip alone is something you haven’t heard and well worth the price. This book belongs in every comprehensive golf library.
