Book Reviews of Understanding the Golf Swing: Today's Leading Proponents of Ernest Jones' Swing Principles Presents a Complete System for Better Golf
Book Review: Simply put - a Great book.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever wondered how good golfers swing effortlessly, but whip the club through the ball and hit it farther than one of your caveman, ex-baseball player swings - read this book!
One of my top 5 favorite golf books. I am going to buy Manuel's DVD next. I watched a few clips of him on youtube and am amazed at how sound his swing is at his age. This book states simply, what Ernest Jones says in his book. To clarify, Jones' book is small, but wordy. Really wordy. Though the concept is timeless, the Jones book is dated. This book by Manuel is right to the point. Simple.
Manuel de la Torre gives a fresh view, and simplifies the Jones method wording and explains it in a way that is easy to understand. Manuel expands on it and explains faults, causes, solutions, etc... His tips and drills are great. His personal essay at the end is really good reading, too.

Summary of Understanding the Golf Swing: Today's Leading Proponents of Ernest Jones' Swing Principles Presents a Complete System for Better Golf
"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 ChampionThis 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.
