The information in this book is not new; the author has just given odd names to different variations of the golf swing. And much of the book is McClean proudly listing the names of old golf professionals that he has taught or has observed - and the lists of names get repeated so often it's annoying. Finally, all of the useful information in the book is contained in Chapter 4; the rest is either fluff or is repeated in other chapters.

I think I get it
I swing over the top. I know I do it but I can’t stop. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of what I have been doing and more hope that I can correct it.
