Book Description

April 21, 1999
The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need, Hank Haney, one of the most respected and soughtafter golf instructors in the world, shares the secrets he's learned by observing hundreds of thousands of students--from top PGA Tour pros to high-handicappers. He explains how intelligent observation of your ball-flight tendencies--the way your shot behaves in the air--provides the answers to helping you develop a consistent repeating swing that will lower your scores. You'll also pick up valuable pointers on how to precisely match your equipment to your game.

Hank Haney believes that a "flawed swing" that still produces a good shot is a good swing. By focusing on the outcome of your swing first, rather than on the swing itself, he believes you can often avoid making the awkward and unnatural changes to grip, stance, posture and alignment that many golf instructors ask of their students.

The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need will help you straighten your hook or slice, add distance to your drives, identify and fix the flaws in your swing, and become a wizard around the greens.

"I'm proud of the way my swing holds up ion all kinds of conditions and under the severest pressure. Both are a tribute to Hank Haney and his teaching. Hank knows more about ballflight and what controls it than anyone in the game. And if you understand that, you're on your way."
-- Mark O'Meara from the Foreword to The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The daring claim of the title is a lot to live up to, and Haney works hard to meet the challenge by focusing on the most essential part of the game--the swing. The book's 10 chapters are divided into three sections: "Understanding Your Swing," "Fixing Your Swing," and "Using Your Swing." Throughout, the secret at the core of his teaching should inspire in most golfers a sigh of relief: it's not how good the swing looks that matters, it's how well that swing strikes the ball. Through clear text and photo aids, Haney helps you understand the basic requirements of each shot well enough to fix mechanical problems without winding up in traction. He certainly helped Mark O'Meara, raising him from near oblivion to 1998 champion in both The Masters and the British Open. --Jeff Silverman

Review

Mark O'Meara's coach gives you the hard truth about cause-and-effect in the golf swing. (It's) like reading a golf lesson. -- Golf Digest

5.0 out of 5 stars The book I wish I'd had 30 years ago, August 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need: Easy Solutions to Problem Golf Swings (Hardcover)
This could be the definitive modern instruction manual. Having read all the famous books from Ernest Jones to Hogan to Leadbetter and a lot of others in between, there is a lot of room for confusion. This book cleared the fog for me.

Two things in the book are revelations: the body versus hands section and the discussion of the importance of the plane. I now feel for the first time in 30 years of golf that I have the comprehension framework to fix my own swing, slowly but surely, rather than trying this and trying that. Because it takes so long to get the feel for a swing change, unless you're on the right track, you can spend a whole golfing lifetime in the wilderness, going from one teacher to another, knowing you should be playing better but never really getting there.

Thanks to this book, I can confidently analyse my own swing and, more importantly, know how to fix it.

I sincerely hope this book gets the recognition it deserves.

Nick Mount Watsons Bay, Sydney, Australia

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Swing Concept, April 9, 2001
By 
Jerry (Garden Grove, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need: Easy Solutions to Problem Golf Swings (Hardcover)
Hank Haney's concept of a swing traveling through a series of parallel planes is the most valuable golf idea I ever encountered. It changed everything for me. Now I have a really good swing that I understand. The strange thing is that nobody else writes about this concept. Other authors differ, writing about the club always pointing at the target line, or about a single pane of glass, or about a curved swing plane. However, Haney's concept makes tremendous sense and really works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Golf Lesson Ever, July 23, 2005
This review is from: The Only Golf Lesson You'll Ever Need: Easy Solutions to Problem Golf Swings (Hardcover)
Tiger Woods picked the right guy -- I am a 7 handicap and this is the best golf instruction book I have ever read (Nicklaus, Hogan, Woods, Watson, Harmon, Penick, Couples, Floyd, etc.). The one-plane angle concept is so technically sound and the only golf-aid you need to dramatically improve your swing is a mirror. Excellent pictures help capture exactly what Hank is explaining. At any level, this book is a cornerstone for building a bomb-proof golf swing. Most importantly, hit good shots and enjoy it -- instead of going to find it :)!
