Reading the reviews of The Simple Golf Swing book, it occurs to me that the net is full of useful information on how to improve your golf swing. But who has time to do the research? This author has put it all together very nicely.

The Simple Golf Swing book was one of the first golf E-Books on the internet (2002). The book contains drills - that if you do them as explained - should improve your golf swing by several strokes within weeks. It seems to me after researching this book that most people are happy with the results. RECOMMENDED.

The Simple Golf Swing

Golf Swing Basics

Here’s a Useful Image. Think of your torso as a coil spring. Imagine your shoulders at the upper end with your hips at the lower end. Do you have the picture? Now grasp your spring at the upper (shoulder) end and rotate it around its longitudinal axis without securing the lower end. As you might expect, you’ll encounter no resistance because the bottom end is not attached to anything. Now repeat the twisting action. But this time, secure the bottom end of your spring with your other hand. Notice that the more you twist the more resistance you experience as the twist (or X-factor) increases. This coiling is the mechanism behind a power swing. Now imagine suddenly releasing the shoulder end of your imaginary spring. Can you see the speed and power as your shoulder unwinds like a sling shot whipping towards the ball.
