Product Description
The difference in driving distance between short and long hitting professionals is remarkably small. How can short and skinny players hit the ball 280 yards with what appears to be effortless swings? What do they know that we do not know? What is the true source of power in the golf swing and how do you apply it to your own game? These are some of the questions that will be answered in this guide…. More >>

One more hackneyed attempt to cash in on the misuse of science. There is nothing original here. The recommended technique is needlessly complex and unlikely to work. Save your money.

Contrary to the title of the book there is little science behind its contents. The book comes across as nothing more than the author’s notes from some of the better golf instruction books (Leadbetter, Hogan, etc.) and websites he’s visited while researching the golf swing. The book also contains mistakes and misinformation. As an example, the author describes and illustrates a right handed golfer aligned to the right of the target and calls it an “open stance” while illustrating the same golfer aligned to the left of the target calling it a “closed stance”. Later in the book he claims the club bends “toe up” on the downswing. Unfortunately for the author high speed cameras and modern day club fitting have proven the club becomes “toe down” in the downswing and at impact.
If you’re looking a simple and easy to read golf instruction book this book may be of interest to you. If you’re looking for a book filled with science and technical information about the swing you may want to pass.

An interesting read but this seems to be more a matter of personal opinion than scientific fact. Nothing harmful yet nothing outstanding either. Is it worth the money? I suppose so because it is an easy read but don’t expect any huge discoveries regarding the golf game.

I got my copy of the book yesterday, purchased largely on the basis of the two previous reviews. Having studied “The search for the perfect swing” and “The physics of Golf” along with playing the game for 57 years the last 20 as a playing professional and teacher I feel qualified to give an unbaised opinion of this book. I believe the Science/Physics is spot on however when he begins to talk about the swing itself to me his comments are somewhat suspect. For example, when he talks about the swing pane and uses Hogan’s pane of glass his illustration correctly shows one of the variations of a swing plane. That the swing plane is established by the shaft line at address and you are either on that line or parallel and above it. When he begins to describe what he considers a proper swing plane later in the book he uses the butt of the club pointing to the target line. The only way to get to that position is to alter the swing plane. As a full time golf instructor for the last couple of years I could not recommend this book to any golfer looking to improve their game. You would be much better served by reading and trying to understand Jorgenson’s “The Physics of Golf”
