I Really Like McLean's books - Reviewed on 2008-09-29

Think I've owned all his books and this one's a good read and a collection of Golf Digest articles reworked into a book. If you like this one you'll like McLean's "The 8 Step Swing"The Eight Step Swing: The Top Selling Swing System that has Revolutionized the Teaching Industry (HarperResource book), which I though was his best and certainly better than any Ledbetter book or DVD I owned. (Not to say I didn't still keep the Ledbetter stuff - I just found personally the 8 Step Swing really worked for me.)

Even if you, like me, don't intend to be a champion pro (maybe an Am champion...?), these drills will improve your game for sure. Anyway they are the pro's drills. I've checked many other sources in books and DVDs and these are the most common drills advised for golf players. And no other source were so complete. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because there are only drills. It could be completed with a swing overview, in order to make the drills more understandable (some of them are really weird and you have a hard time trying to figure out how they could possibly improve your swing). This is not in this book because the author has another book only on the 8 parts of the swing. But it worths the price. Above all, remember: these are just drills, and you are not supposed to play that way in real games!!!

This book is for the real beginner as the title of the book is totally misleading

Just an ok book. Pictures are low quality. Would have expected better from Golf Digest and Jim Mclean. It is straight and to the point but make sure you at least have a solid working knowldge of all aspects of the game before considering this book. You can get much of the same information for free at various golf web sites. Not bad but not very clear in many regards.
