Book Reviews of Your Perfect Swing
Book Review: "Scary" First Impression but a, Really Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The title and cover image imply that this book is about positions during the swing and getting into them "perfectly." The market is glutted with those kinds of books which are basically useless to just about everyone below the professional level.
Despite the first impression, Dr. Suttie does a great job in identifying five general swing types and several alternatives within those frameworks. The five swings defined are Upper Body, Lower Body, Hands, Classic, and Modern. Alternatives within those types include "turners," "rotators," and "sliders."
The big benefit for the reader is that Dr. Suttie helps each identify the most practical swing type for him or her through simple tests and numerous examples of well-known professionals. Photographs are closely linked to words so those who learn visually can also benefit.
In the book, the author takes care to note that most golfers borrow characteristics from more than one swing type. So even if you don't exactly fit one of the profiles, there is still considerable opportunity to gain benefit from the overall concept. Dr. Suttie also makes it very clear that the so-called modern swing pushed by most instructors is not for everyone.
Golfers who should buy this book include beginners, those struggling to find a missing link in their swings, and intermediates seeking to improve. For those bombarded with tips and conflicting instruction over the years, this book will help you identify and eliminate some ideas that may not work with your best swing type.
The book is easy to read and should be very helpful for most golfers. If you fit the profile in the preceding paragraph, I recommend this book. But it probably should have been called "Finding and Refining the Golf Swing that Works Best for You."
