Author Description

The Science of the Golf Swing was the first book in the history of the game to explain exactly what a top-class player does to the club at every instant throughout the golf swing. It continues to provide deeply, insightful guidance to golfers of all abilities.<br/><br/>The book is based on engineering analysis of the dynamics of the swing, the conclusions reached are presented in simple terms understandable by the average golfer. lt clears away a host of time-honoured but misconceived ideas concerning the force transmitted to the club by the player's hands. This book therefore cannot help but give the ordinary golfer a new and simplified conception of what all golfers are aiming to achieve.<br/><br/>Although the body movements necessary to generate the force that is finally transmitted through the hands are not amenable to mathematical treatment, the fact that all is now known about that force makes it possible, via video and photos of top players, to view those movements in a new light and so to understand their true significance.<br/><br/>Women players will be interested to learn on incontrovertible grounds that there is only one golf swing, the same for women as for men, since there is nothing more certain than that physical strength has nothing to do with the swing itself, but only with its speed of execution.
