The Negotiable Golf Swing: How to Improve Your Game Without Picture-Perfect Form (Hardcover)


The Negotiable Golf Swing: How to Improve Your Game Without Picture-Perfect Form (Hardcover) Reviews

Finally... A Common Sense Guide to Good Golf,
Joe Laurentino is the first golf pro who confronts the fact that there are so very many contradictions between top-rated instructors. (Turn the hips... restrict the hips... legs provide the power... legs are only a support for upper body... head stays static... head moves with body turn...) Instruction is usually presented as absolute law while a significant portion is actually only personal preference of that particular guru. Joe's book is the only one that distinguishes between "Musts" and what is within your own option.

Also--the best part of the book--Joe clarifies how the path and orientation of the club face affects the ball flight. Here again most books get this wrong. Typically, teachers hold that initial ball direction is determined by the path of the club head (an absurdity that any high-school physics student should easily recognize). In correcting and simplifying this subject, Joe provides the reader with a way to diagnose and self-correct, on the spot.

The book is well written, makes a complex subject easy to understand, and the accompanying illustrations are a critical aid.
