Great Comprehensive Look at the Physics of the Game,
By A Customer
This review is from: Search for the Perfect Swing: The Proven Scientific Approach to Fundamentally Improving Your Game (Paperback)
This book will tell you everything about the golf swing from what it takes to achieve maximum power to why pros tee the ball up higher than most amateurs on their drives. This is a complete book on the physics of the game backed up by the most extensive research ever done on the golf swing. This book can help you understand the swing better than any other book, though it does not advocate any particular method, as many are effective. I advise you to read this book and if you are looking for a method that is unequivically supported by this book, there is only one. Carl Lohren's "Getting Set for Golf" is the only technique book that is completely supported by the proven physics of the game detailed in "Search for the Perfect Swing." Alastair Cochran's book is the only of its kind and can greatly improve your knowledge of the golf swing.

My Favorite Book,

This review is from: Search for the Perfect Swing: The Proven Scientific Approach to Fundamentally Improving Your Game (Paperback)
This is my favorite book of all time: a wonderful model of the golf swing that has not been surpassed since its original publication in the early 1970's. Think of all the enduring golf ideas that have followed from this book: the heel-sole weighted putter and club, the importance of the left side guiding the swing, the swing plane and curve of the golf ball, the importance of different shots, the kinetic chain for power, aim and stroke in putting, ... All current teaching and golf science started right here. It is silly to play golf without fully understanding this book.

The definitive text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Search for the Perfect Swing: The Proven Scientific Approach to Fundamentally Improving Your Game (Paperback)
When I worked at Ping 27 years ago -- when Ping was single-handedly revolutionizing the golf industry -- this was the only book I remember seeing in Karsten's office. That should tell you something. I read it about six times. It is fascinating and full of weird insights that I still manage to work into conversations today.
