 What else is there to know? September 9, 2005

I love this book. Somehow golfers always think there is some secret that once discovered will change them forever. After playing this game since I was 12 and reading more books than I care to admit, I agree with Jacobs that the only secret to golf is getting impact correct. Sensing/feeling impact isn't easy but the ball tells all. Once you know how to hold the club and line up, ball flight is your best teacher and Jacobs focuses on this fundamental fact in a way that will leave you wondering why you've looked elsewhere for answers. This is the essence of it all - impact and ball flight.

I value this book. It tells you how, like all the other books to setup correctly but by understanding the physics of ball flight it gives you the confidence to trust that setup and make adjustments. It explains what is going on with your swing and grip by helping you understand the flight of the ball. It's a quick read and re-read.

A super tool for the beginer or other golfer who hasn't figured out what's happening when they hit the ball. Good if you shoot say over 95. I was a little disapointed in the brevity of the book, ( a careful reading took me less than two hours). It is as clear as it gets and it was usefull, but if your looking to break 90 or lower, look elsewhere.

I've only golfed for about 3 years, off and on, and I've always been afflicted by a monster slice. After reading this, I noticed results the first time I played. It didn't "cure" my problem, but it vastly improved the situation by focusing me the real causes of the slice. It really helped for hitting the long ball...and translated well for the short game. I loved it.
