To change a swing you've got to groove it. To do that, you need a drill. Here is a book of over 100 of them, from a full-swing to short game, to alignment and warmup.

McClain does a great job here, and the illustrations are helpful. Excellent helps for correcting a slice and increasing club head speed.

I ordered the book over one month ago and it still has not arrived ? So how can I review the book !

While it could be used as a self-help book I think the first step should be to have a professional identify your problem rather than self diagnose. This book has,IMHO, drills to cure most every problem one is likely to encounter. Drills to ingrain muscle-memory.

This is a solid book to help reinforce lessons based upon Jim McLean's 8 Step Swing. This covers the full swing down to putting. A brief introduction followed by simple illustrations and explanations help the student understand the necessary movements. Many of the drills are covered by websites and monthly golf magazine articles; however, this is a compendium of drills to help any level of golfer.

Overall, this is a book that complements conventional golf techniques.

Practice makes perfect - so goes the saying. This holds true in that wonderful game of golf. The Book of Drills teaches the golfer (of whatever skill level,from beginner to competitor) to hone on his skills and play better golf. One may also use it to aid a beginning golfer - a must for all golfers, especially instructors.

This book is great. It lowered my score by ten strokes. I am only fifteen, five foot five, playing for two years and I hit the ball an average of 215 yards off the tee and fairly straight. I have hit straght shots up to 260 yards, when my previous average was 165.
