3 out of 5 stars Some good tips   January 18, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book has some good tips on the golf swing, but I wouldn't call it a must read. It also shows a number of swing faults and how to prevent them.

It does have one of the best descriptions on how to grip the golf club of any book I've read. That one section makes it worth the money.

It does assume there is only one correct system for swinging the golf club (the modern, coiling swing). If you use another swing method (swing axis, traditional swing) some of the tips may not apply.



1 out of 5 stars Not again!!!   November 23, 2007

I saw Mr. Bradley on Golf Channel Academy Live and was impressed. I then got online and waited until his book price got low enough for me to want to buy it. The other reviews seemed overwhelmingly good and every one was impressed. I got it finally. What a let down. While the pictures are great and yet disturbing in some cases I have yet to complete reading it.
I cannot get past Mr. Bradley's overanalysis of the whole swing process. If you buy anything (and I don't mean to endorse) get anything by A.J. Bonar or just to go your pro and get at least 2 lessons. Golf does not have to be Rocket science although Mr. Bradley seems to write as though it is.



5 out of 5 stars best golf information   October 5, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a must read book for every golfer. Especially mid handicapers (10- 15). He focuses on how the golf swing should feel, from grip to impact and completion of swing. He gives excellent examples for the feel, especially feather feel. I am reading this book every chance I get, I bet you will to.






4 out of 5 stars Very analytical book - good pictures   July 25, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I found the pictures in this book helpfull - they also look pretty cool. Some of the explanations of the optimal body postures are not straightforward and they require a second or a third reading - however this is a compliment since this book is not over-simplifying things - the author makes an effort explaining all the subtilities of golf.


5 out of 5 stars Long Over Due   June 1, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The brilliance of this book is in the fact that it uses pictures to explain the golf swing. As humans we think in pictures anyway and is why words alone are often a waste of time. Bradely also uses words along with the pictures but this only adds to the power those pictures have to emblazen the proper feel into the golf swing. Telling someone to feel that they have a nail driven through both hands to create a great grip is not as lasting as seeing the actual picture.
