Huge Perspective on the Swing

Wolford's strength in this book does not lie in the ordinary "nitty-gritty" in the first several chapters. Arguably, none are really nitty-gritty - stance, grip, etc - because if they were, then EVERYONE would have to adhere to them. And if you see tour players, they vary from weak to strong grips, narrow to wide stances, small to long swings etc. The meat of this book, and it is very very excellent, is his ability to change your perspective in how to go the club, so that the new perspective will go the club along the assess path. 98% of amateurs have an incorrect perspective in how to go the club and body, so that the result is that they come over the top and never have a chance to feel what a real golf shot is like.
If you are an amateur, in any case of handicap, and you want to eliminate the over the top go which causes slices, pulls etc, then this book is for you. I am not aware of a further book, possibly outside of David Lee's, that describes why most people are over the top, and how to undo that. Hogan's book will aggravate that issue with every golfer who didnt start out as a hooker, Leadbetter's books never really clarify how to make the go down, and Hardy's books I reckon are a passing fad, and will promote more over the top moves than any book out there.
If you want to eliminate the over the top go, then this is the only book out there that shows you the new perspective to do it. |
An undiscovered classic!

| I have a collection of golf books that would rival any large cities store, and I have read everything I could get my hands on about the golf swing- and I have to say this is the best swing instructional book I have seen. Dudley's prose is clear and simple to follow, the diagrams are simple, straightforward, and the results are longer higher drives and irons. This book can be the only book you need to use for lessons- it has ball flight laws, small game lessons, putting lessons, mental management, and the author anecdotes place in for accent on key points. I don't write reviews often, or give 5 star rating lightly- this book deserves classic status for its clarity and its ability to deliver results. Highest Rating. |
It worked for me!

| At first I was dissapointed that the book really wasn't about just two moves, but a comprehensive look at the entire golf swing - grip, posture, ball spot - the whole deal. I delight in conception about the golf swing and I've read a lot, but this book is one of the best. There are no magic moves and not no matter what thing that I really hadn't read before, but Wolford puts it all communally in a way that makes all of those thousands of tips make sense! I've got my legs effective as they should (I've added distance to my drives), proper weight shift, timing, etc. If I do make a terrible swing on the course, I easily admit and assess my error on my next swing. The game has gotten a lot simpler! The diagrams are not fantastic, but they get the job done. Thank you Dudley Wolford! |
Excellent simplified approach

Well...its really more than two moves. There's the matter of what goes on between the two moves, but the book does help with that also.
Its written in a way that lets you sense the "suspicion" you should be
searching for in uncommon stages of setup and the swing, not to bring up helpful hints on the mental approach to the game.
In person, a few elements of this book have helped me tremendously and i've been assiduously effective on my swing for years.
I have to reckon anyone who is still searching for a sound, repeatable
swing could profit from conception this book.
One negative: I'm sold on the thought that there are uncommon appropriate nitty-gritty for the basic one plane versus two plane swing.
This is not addressed in this book.
