'Golfers' in book |
I am honest and will say that I am a terrible golfer but after reading this book I now understand what I need to do to get better and how to incorporate a routine to do so. Very helpful. Think of golf practice in a new way - less about the swing, more about skills and how to improve them.
Ball-striking and getting from here to there are given more attention than mechanics. A long read with a lot of technical information, but well worth the time to take in the wisdom. Yes, there are some editing issues. However, that should not deter the would-be reader from getting benefit from this content! Excellent approaches to training periodization.
Good self start for golf practice. As others have mentioned, definitely needs some editing and cleanup. The content and ideas about how to think about practicing are very good and something I will definitely try at the range. Greg Duddy. The best golf book I've ever read and one of the best books period. So many "lightbulb moments" and a fundamentally different and much much better way of thinking about how to improve at golf. The two overarching themes of the book could be summarised as impact and self-organisation.
It details what exactly is happening to the ball at impact and then works out from there. Too many books focus on a specific swing change which may or may not affect impact but this book correctly focuses on impact itself. The second theme of self-organisation flows from this focus on impact. In a nutshell the theory is that if we give our minds and bodies a clear goal about what we wish to achieve between the club and ball at impact then our bodies will organise themselves automatically around this goal in order for us to accomplish it.
In other words we can focus on impact and allow our technique to arrange itself on its own. This concept is one of those "This is so obvious why didn't I think about it before" moments. The author gives the example of learning to use a spoon to put food into our mouths. We would never dream of focusing on the specific muscle movements and positions required to do this but rather we focus on the goal or task of getting the food onto the spoon and then into our mouth.
Our specific muscle movements or arm positions i. When applied to golf this idea has revolutionised my understanding and training. The book also teaches us how humans learn motor skills and the different kinds of focus that we can use depending on what it is we wish to learn. Comparing the more typical golf instruction book to this book is like comparing giving a man a fish to feed himself for a day versus teaching him how to fish so that he can feed himself for a lifetime. If you want to learn how to teach yourself how to improve your golf for the rest of your golfing life I would thoroughly recommend this book.
It is truly an amazing and transformative book. Read what the author wrote in the description. It's all spot on. Very interesting golf book. Might seem wordy and repetitive at times but I think the points he is repetitive about are the important ones.

Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie. You overpaid for the doorstop. A student brought it in to the shop the other day. Said he was giving it to anyone who wanted to take it because he felt bad recycling that much paper. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes. Phil McGleno , sorry I am a little slow on the uptake I guessing you have looked at the book and don't care much for it?
Or you do not care that much for the author? Ken Proud member of the iSuk Golf Association I got the book and started reading it. I like the concept of not putting a golfer into a "BOX" Everyone has their own swing, flat,loopy,upright, feet still, feet active,long backswing, short backswing, etc The author goes on to show a myriad of different golfers with different swings,all making tons of money and collecting big time hardware.
His point being that understanding clubface and path are very important factors to scoring. Most of us practice wrong. We look great doing it though, and we don't get that much better because of it. If we practice more with a purpose and a game plan, we'd get much more out of the session. I fall into that category. I'm a handicapper. But I've been practicing since to be 'meh'. Yesterday, I tried for the first time time to work on some things the book talked about in the first couple of chapters.
Club face and path. I just either couldn't get it or didn't want to get it. I wasted time and good money with Breed because I wanted instant gratification and when I didn't get it I didn't stay with it.
Now reading the book I'm getting it. I'll practice with a different mindset now, one I should've been doing for the past year. I like the book so far. It's easy to comprehend, and the author has a good website with interesting articles. It's all about understanding the clubface and path,the instant your club makes contact with the ball Not to speak for them but I think the keys 4 and 5 are path and face, and the others have to do with contact.
There is a thread here on how to practice properly too. It's not a bad thing to see other perspectives. No agenda here. Just do not like the book. I can not find it interesting that you did not know that you had to practice things before you took them to the course? That you had to control your clubface and path? What does that have to do with anything? I have no allegiance to Erik he does not like being called Eric-He has mentioned it to me twice or ten times. I am expressing my surprise that it took a super heavy thick dense-In More ways than one-book to make you realize that you had to practice.
That you thought you could get instant gratification in GOLF? Hey it is not like I called you an idiot. I just said I was surprised it took you buying a twenty pound tome to realize that you had to practice and things would not instantly get better for you. And for those who are looking to Phil McGleno for an unbiased review - I wouldn't count on it.
The guy has a personal vendetta against me to each their own , hence the instant bashing of the book without any knowledge of its contents.
Ernest - yes, the free Ebook is what it is free and aimed more towards less info-seeking golfers. The Practice Manual is a very different animal - more for the serious golfer who wants to know more in depth details about how to link the motor learning research to practical applications. Sinned said "Now reading the book I'm getting it.
