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!”

With this book I now know WHAT I did right and HOW I can repeat it.

Can’t ask for much more than that.

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. Rating: 5 / 5 I’ve read my share of golf books and taken my share of lessons, all with mixed results.

Basso Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:41:25 +0000 http://fullswingnow.com/hp_wordpress/?p=55#comment-129 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. Rating: 4 / 5 I loved reading and will go out this weekend and start working on an arc style swing.
