Product Description
Top golfing instructor Jim McLean shares the secret to a better swing and a better game
It's what every great golfer knows and every struggling player wants to know: how to find "the slot," the perfect channel through which the shaft and club head can meet the ball on the downswing for a more powerful, accurate, and consistent swing.
Great ball-strikers like Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, and Jack Nicklaus were slot swingers. Today, Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and Jim Furyk provide dramatic examples. Now leading golf instructor Jim McLean shows you how to find the slot to take your game to the next level. With step-by-step instructions and more than eighty illustrations by leading golf illustrator Phil Franke,
The Slot Swing makes it easy.
- Shows you how to find the perfect channel for a more powerful and consistent swing
- Shares McLean's secrets from more than twenty years as a top instructor to the greatest pros
- Features stunning two-color art by Phil Franke and a full-color foldout showing how the dramatically different swings of Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Bruce Lietzke and Jim Furyk all end up in the slot
- Written by the author of the classic book The 8-Step Swing, named one of the 20th Century's top 15 golf instructionals by Sports Illustrated
This book helps you get out of a golfing rut, get locked in to your slot, and find the sweet spot in your game.
Reader Reviews
I am a self-taught 11-handicap (20+ rounds in the 80s) after starting to play 11 months ago. During the never-ending process of trying to "figure" out the golf swing I stumbled upon many things that "worked" and many, many more that did not. This book discusses and explains many of the things I remember "discovering" but could not explain, recall properly, or repeat. Other books (and I read at least a dozen) mostly focus on ONE PRESCRIBED way of doing things, a set of hard rules, and a plethora of tips. Unlike them, "The Slot Swing" explains a very simple swing FRAMEWORK within which all great swings can be identified. One is free to "customize" and "personalize" how to do things as long as he stays within the described parameters. Very liberating and super-intuitive. I personally never liked how specific swing rules and tips were -- swinging that way lacked "freedom of expression" and just could not account for so much variability of good swings on the Tour. If you agree with this statement or at least wonder about how one tip works one day but it summarily disappears the next this book is for you. It might be better to learn and understand this framework instead of worrying about superficial aspects of the swing that work for someone but may completely wreck YOUR swing. Learn and then apply it in your unique way. It will work, I am absolutely convinced.
