From Booklist
Good craftsmen never blame their tools. Yet here we have 400 years of golfers searching for better tools. The evolution of golf's "tools" is a tribute to the maddeningly subtle difficulties of a game that motivates players to search endlessly for the putter to alleviate yips, the driver to straighten out a chronic shank, and a sand wedge to compensate for the damn driver that dumped them in the trap in the first place. Ellis is an accomplished amateur golfer who also wrote the highly acclaimed The Clubmaker's Art (1997). The format here is deceptively simple: Ellis provides a brief overview of an era and the trend clubmaking took within it. He follows with gorgeous color photographs of dozens of clubs, with brief comments on each, including designer and manufacturer. The information is fascinating, and the photography is gorgeous, but what will draw golfers to the book is the connection it will provide to kindred souls of centuries past, who are passionate about a sport in which one's only competition comes from within.

Reader Reviews
I use this book as a reference source, a coffee table book and a source of inspiration. I would say it is the best golf book available if I didn't recently acquire Ellis' other book, "The Golf Club"
