The LAWs of the Golf Swing: Body-Type Your Golf Swing and Master Your Game

All three of the authors have great credentials and the idea is a good one. However, the neat of the book is like eating an overcooked thanksgiving turkey. It looks great but is very dry. I like the idea of
body types and the authors give great examples of PGA pros who fit all 3 types so that we can fit ourselves into the types. I found the content to be too technical while trying to be reader friendly. It reads a lot like Nick Bradley’s 7 Laws of the Golf Swing looks like in illustrations. It just has too much information to absorb. Better luck next time.
For a good book try Bob Rotella’s Golf is not a Game of Perfect and Pia Nihlson’s Every Shot Must Have a Purpose. These two books are outstanding.

I loved reading and will go out this weekend and start working on an arc style swing. I’m a tall flexible guy and never could understand why it felt so difficult to achieve what some pros would be trying to get me to do. Thinking back, most of my teachers were, by chance shorter than me. The authors explain that different body shapes require different swings and they tell you how to get to a swing to suit your body. I could relate to several of the potential problems with each swing type having suffered some of those problems with my development. I enjoyed it for being different. A little repetitious out of the gate or I would have given it a 5 star.

I enjoyed reading this book, and it certainly had some good ideas, but I’m not sure it helped my golf swing at all.
If I had been able to properly implement the instructions in the book, it might have helped more; but you can only learn so much of a golf swing motion from still pictures and written instructions.
I recommend video or personal instruction where you can see the whole swing and/or get instant feedback.
This book might be more useful to an instructor and not an amateur golfer.

I’ve read my share of golf books and taken my share of lessons, all with mixed results. This book is one of the few that matches your swing to your body type rather that trying to make each golfer use the same generic swing. I’m hitting the ball more solid than I have in three years and I have this book to thank.

Great stuff in this book. Get it, study it, learn from it, execute it.
Being a 6′3″ guy with long arms and long legs, why would I want to swing my club like Craig Stadler? Or like Ben Hogan for that matter. I’m an Ernie Els built person and should swing according to who I am.
That is what this book deals with. Build your swing around who you are – your strengths and weaknesses. I can’t count how many times I read about my specific swing (arc) and said “yes! yes! that’s me! that’s how I swing and where my faults are!”
I took this swing out to a 9 holer on Sunday and turned my drives and fairway woods into straight shots, and you don’t know what a change that is for a banana baller like me. I finally feel like I have the keys I need to make a repeatable swing. In times past I’d drive it straight, but didn’t know why. What did I do right? How can I repeat it?
With this book I now know WHAT I did right and HOW I can repeat it.
Can’t ask for much more than that.
