The Simple Solution for Your Struggling Game
I think it was Gary Player who used the phrase, “the paralysis of analysis” in regard to players who have oh-so-many swing thoughts, positions, and details going on in their heads prior to each shot on the course. Here’s a comfortable, dependable approach to the game that will not only bring enjoyment back to the game but will produce amazing results as well. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Big fingers reveal amazing things.
I somehow typed the search, and I caught your video of you swinging a bath towel.
I assume that it was an joke, I did finish the
Video.
My next trip to the Course I tried it. It was a great shot, with no effort.
With a small back yard, I have been hitting
plastic lids from Plastic water bottles for practice , you will be hearing from me before
Long.
Fantastic simple to read Book.

This is a modern version of a classic!
I especially like the tips on how to relax and enjoy the game. I especially like the tips on the grip and timing. Also the next time I am on the course, I will try the one-man-scramble.

Fun and interesting to read
I liked it enough that I scheduled personal lessons with Erika. I’ve always been a “hitter” and now that I’m 73 years old, I need to make myself more of a “swinger” (ala Stacy Lewis’ beautiful swing).

The best golf instruction book I’ve read in a long time. Her videos are also quite good. Honestly, just watching and reading I’ve lowered my score, plus I make more flush contact. I swing “easier” or better to say, “with less manipulation” in Larkinspeak.

Average
I think the book is probably very well written. The advice just didn't work for me. Way too technical. I skipped a lot of it.

The book describes more in detail what I think happens naturally when you swing the way Ernest Jones instructs.
It also descibes the sience behind it in an interesting way.

Great book!
Erika is a great teacher of the game of golf and explains ideas in an easy to learn way. I anticipate incorporating her ideas in my teaching.

This book is all you need!
I’ve read loads of golf books over the last 30 years, this is the best because of its simple technique, good drills, and repeatable swing.

Great Book
I have played golf for 60 years and have taken many lessons and learned how to swing a golf club. I was a decent golfer but could never put it all together. This book and the “True Swing” method has made me a better golfer. At 80 years old I can hit the ball as far as ever and do not have to worry about hitting the correct position! Makes the golf swing seem easy!
