Understanding the Golf Swing: Today’s Leading Proponents of Ernest Jones’ Swing Principles Presents a Complete System for Better Golf
Product Description
“Understanding the Golf Swing covers virtually every phase of the game in the same common sense and simple approach. It is a must read for every golfer.”—Tommy Aaron, PGA Tour Professional and 1973 Masters Champion
This modern classic of golf instruction by renowned teacher Manuel de la Torre (the 1986 PGA Teacher of the Year and the #11 teacher in America as ranked by the editors of Golf Digest in 2007) presents a simpler approach to the golf swing based on Ernest Jones’ principles. Understanding the Golf Swing includes information on the philosophy of the golf swing (with emphasis on the development of a true swinging motion), the most thorough analysis of ball flights available, and analysis of the principles of special shot play (including sand play, pitching, chipping, putting, and playing unusual shots) and the mental side of golf and effective course management. The final chapter offers an organized approach to understanding golf courses and playing conditions. The result is a blend of philosophy and practical advice found in few golf instructional books. 100 b/w photographs.

Mr. De La Torre claims to be a proponent of the Ernest Jones method. Any resemblance between what Mr. De La Torre has written and the “true” Ernest Jones method are accidental at best. In fact he contradicts Mr. Jones teachings on several occassions.
If you are expecting to find the wisdom of Ernest Jones here you will be rather dissapointed.

This is the first negative review I have written on Amazon, but I couldn’t help it. This book is full of worthless drivel. There is nothing in this book that has any sound basis in science or physics. Just a bunch of one-liners such as swing the entire club or picture the shot. How many times can that stuff be written? Follow this book and waste alot of time.

I tend to read a lot of golf instruction books and this one does not add much and keeps repeating that its all personal style as to how one swings a club. There are a lot of other books that are much much better.
