 shows the best golf swings in the world, frame by frame August 20, 2006

If you are a visual learner, and are looking to improve your full golf swing, then I believe this book is for you. The book contains a frame by frame pictorial (in 3 different views) of some of the best golfers in the world. I think the best way to make this book work for you is to find the professional with the swing that is most similar to yours, and compare your positions to theirs. This book was eye opening for me, and helped my game (mirroring Steve Elkington's pre-impact position probably cut me down from a 12 handicap to an 8).

This is not a book of instruction: it is a book of swings, and analysis.
What makes this book so valuable is that, perhaps for the first time, people can look at many of the greatest players of all time and see how their swings differ (or are similar to) each other.
Where this book offers no great instruction, it gives the average person a look into the realm of swing analysis, that cryptic world beyond the comprehention of so many of us. It may also serve as a good teaching resource for golf instructors.
If any improvements are to be made, before and after shots of people who have undergone major swing changes, and a larger number of classic golfers (Demeret and Sarazen in particular) would be nice.
