The Fitness Approach yo Power Golf Review

I found the book easy to follow and motivational. It shows the salient elements of getting fit to play golf. The best feature I found was the diagnosis he offers. If it hurts here after a round of golf do this exercise. I used to get a pain in my inner thigh that I got rid of by doing the prescribed exercise every second day for three weeks. While I haven't read every book on the market I found this one satisfied my requirements so I didn't look further.

The Fitness Approach yo Power Golf Overview

Filled with more that one hundred photographs and charts, a new guide teaches golfers how to work the muscles they use while playing golf and emphasizes the art of improving the two key factors of a better swing--strength and flexibility.

The Fitness Approach yo Power Golf Specifications

Think golf is a sport played by chain-smoking, Scotch-swilling, quadruple-bypass-awaiting country-club ghouls? Okay, it is, but that doesn't mean you have to play it that way. Carrido shows how a fitness program, consisting of lots of flexibility and strength-training exercises and a healthy dose of cardiovascular work, can improve your game by helping you hit the ball farther and play injury-free.

Nothing the well informed does not already know - max fischer - New York, NY United States
I suppose this book does a thorough job of covering all aspects of a fitness regimen for a golfer including stretching, weight training, diet and injury prevention and it often offers golf specific exercises. If you've never really been on a consistent exercise program and don't have any other fitness books and you play golf, then I guess this book may be an option for you.

But I have two main problems with this book:
(1) First, this really is just a general fitness routine book that could be applied to almost any sport, or if you were just interested in general fitness, no sport at all. Yes, the book does approach the exercises from a golfer's perspective, but a perspective is all. None of the weight training exercises or stretches are any different from what you would read in any other general fitness book, and you shouldn't be performing them any other way lest you hurt yourself. As far as the eating tips, if the saturation of news reports in the last decade on eating a low-fat, high-fiber diet haven't convinced you to eat well, then one chapter in this book ain't gonna do it either.
(2) I think the premise of the book and specifically the book title is just wrong. It has been shown through application and studies (see my review of The Physics of Golf on this site) that distance off the tee is not affected that much by moderate amounts of muscle gain, especially the amount that one could get by lifting. Golf is a game of fluidity and vectors, not solely raw power. Some of the longest hitters on the tour now (2003) are some of the skinny young kids on the tour. I agree with the author that stretching is key, but you don't need this book for that (see my review of Bob Anderson's "Stretching").

I'm confident most people already know the basics of a good golf fitness regimen: eat healthfully, jog 3 times a week and stretch all parts of your body well before and after a round or hitting the driving range.






Short on the why and the how of golf exercise - -
I exercise regulary, and have bought just about every golf fitness book. I found this one short on the theory part, like what does weight training do for golf? Also, pictures were hard to follow, some showed the end position of the exercise, some the middle or start. The title and back cover promised a 1/4 pounder and I got the kiddie veggie burger.

Golf Instruction - How to Cure a Golf Slice

Is there anything more embarrassing to a golfer than the dreaded slice? I mean other than the total whiff, what golf event has you feeling the need to explain yourself to your playing partners. I've said or heard all of the excuses. Like someone blew a car horn, the dog was barking or even the crows were too loud to list a few. Embarrassing indeed. No wonder so many of us are saying, "Someone please help cure my slice!"

I remember my moment of desperation. I was playing a long par 3 when my attempt at a tee shot went terribly to the right. It started out briefly on the correct line, but then not far past the ladies tee it turned hard to the right. This was more than your normal slice. The ball seemed to turn nearly 90 degrees! What made it worse was that there were homes along the hole. This ball hit someone's aluminum patio enclosure with such force it sounded like a gun shot. Folks all over the course took notice of the sound. Everyone within view was staring at me, the folks on the green, the next tee and the prior green. What a hopeless duffer.

I began in earnest to seek an effective golf slice cure. I bought books, read magazines, talked to my golf buddies, searched websites and even paid for lessons. They all offered good advice but I had little success in finding a slice correction. So I bought training gadgets and tools. Still little progress.

Then I came across a popular eBook a guy recommended to me during a golf tournament. It is written by Jack Moorehouse and has helped over 100,000 golfers improve their game.

You see what I learned is that it is not just a grip change, or just stance adjustment, or just a takeaway or a downswing correction that is needed. What I needed and was able to do with Jack's help was work on all the swing components that factored into my striking the ball with an open clubface causing the slice. Eureka! I found a cure for a golf slice.

No longer would I have to aim far left and hope the ball stayed in play on the right somewhere. Golf has been a lot more fun for me since then!

Jack Moorehouse is considered one of the best golf guru's in the country and he's here to help you with his best-selling golf eBook, "How to Break 80...And Shoot Like the Pros."

If you are really serious about fixing your slice I could not recommend any better source to you than "How to Break 80...".

The best thing is that all of this help is less than most lessons with a pro, a single training aide or instructional DVD. And he is offering a 90-day money back guarantee, so if you don't like the book simply return it. But, once you get into his drills, I highly doubt that you'll need that guarantee.
