Product Description
100 Classic Golf Tips combines over 50 years of the world's greatest teaching pros, golfing legends, today's most notable golf instructors, and the life-time works of Anthony Ravielli, distilled into a charming package. It includes time-honored tips useful to every golfer such as how to grip the club to square clubface for an ideal impact position, allowing the wrist to hinge properly; how the downswing of the club is similar to a baseball swing as it relates to weight shift; and how working on the finish of the golf swing can help identify any balancing problems. 100 Classic Golf Tips features artwork from the archives of Anthony Ravielli, who illustrated golf technique for Golf Digest and Sports Illustrated for 40 years, as well as the seminal Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf by Ben Hogan. Comments from top golf pros annotate and amplify the illustrations. Contributors include such renowned golfers and instructors as Butch Harmon and Hank Haney, instructors to Tiger Woods; Rick Smith, instructor to Phil Mickelson; David Leadbetter, instructor to Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie; and Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, and Tom Watson.

Dissapointing January 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For me, this book becomes more and more irritating the more I read it.
The drawing for tip 94 bares no relationship to the tip. One talks about leg strength while the drawing appears to be about using a wall for club head position. The drawing for tip 97 mentions teeing up on the right side, 'aim for the left' and 'you can now fade the ball', yet the drawing shows the ball flight to the left, surely a draw or hook?
Tip 83 "Bermuda Grain". "The more pronounced the grain, the more you'll have to account for it on your read and in your stroke". Thanks for that.
While the drawings are suburb in that Readers Digest 1950's way I am yet to be convinced that they are enough to really clarify the tip sometimes. Golf tips at best are often contradictory and perhaps more than realised, not neccessarily suitable for your type of body mechanics, particularly swing tips. After reading this book several times I am left wanting.
