From one of Golf Digest’s Top 5 teachers a simple, scientific program to build a great swingMost golf instruction is based on helping students emulate the best players, but for top golf teacher Mike Bender, physics provides a better model for developing a swing that is as efficient, consistent, and timeless as that of Iron Byron, the PGA robot that tests clubs and balls. Now Mike Bender shows you how to put the secrets of science into your own swing with a simple, proven program that will take your play to a different level and transform your approach to the game.Explains Mike Bender’s unique biomechanical approach to building a simple, repeatable, and effective swingShares the same approach Bender teaches his students, who include two-time U.S. Open winner Lee Janzen, PGA Tour winner Jonathan Byrd, and 2006 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year Seon Hwa LeeShows you how to build your scientific swing step by stepIncludes 150 photographs to help you put principles into practice on the golf courseIncludes a Foreword by Zach Johnson, 2007 Masters champion and one of Mike Bender’s star studentsAs Mike Bender puts it: would you rather fly in an airplane that was built by engineers who understood the principles of lift and acceleration, or would you rather fly in one built by people who simply went out to the airport and watched them taking off and landing? Once you develop a scientific swing, it’s your own game that will really soar.”

Clear straightforward golf instruction ; dodgy physics This is probably the best written golf instruction book I have read ,and I have read quite a few. Mike explains very clearly the way he wants you to swing ,then gives practical drills to help you get there. A nice change from the impenetrable complexity of ‘golf machine’ or ‘stack and tilt’.Mikes ideas area little different than most recent ones I have heard-e.g. the downswing starts with the arms rather than with the lower body, and the downswing path for arms is above the backswing…
A little complicated but still an enjoyable read for the … A little complicated but still an enjoyable read for the true golf nut does require you to build your own swing station? But modern theory with a hi of hogan.
A very good description of the modern swing The concept described by Mike follows the bases of a classic swing. Everything is well presented with nice B&W pictures and reading is straightforward. What changes from other methods are essentially the drills. Most of them use a negative or positive feedbacks, which, I think, help the swing changes take go faster and are the signature of Mike Bender’s teaching. A must read!JD P (Switzerland)
