Book description
From one of Golf Digest's Top 5 teachers-a simple, scientific program
to build a great swing
Most golf instruction is based on helping students emulate the best
players, but for top golf teacher Mike Bender, physics provides a
better model for developing a swing that is as efficient, consistent,
and timeless as that of Iron Byron, the PGA robot that tests clubs and
balls. Now Mike Bender shows you how to put the secrets of science
into your own swing with a simple, proven program that will take your
play to a different level and transform your approach to the game.
- Explains Mike Bender's unique biomechanical approach to building
a simple, repeatable, and effective swing
- Shares the same approach Bender teaches his students, who
include two-time U. S. Open winner Lee Janzen, PGA Tour winner
Jonathan Byrd, and 2006 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year Seon Hwa Lee
- Shows you how to build your scientific swing step by step
- Includes 150 photographs to help you put principles into
practice on the golf course
- Includes a Foreword by Zach Johnson, 2007 Masters champion and
one of Mike Bender's star students
As Mike Bender puts it: would you rather fly in an airplane that was
built by engineers who understood the principles of lift and
acceleration, or would you rather fly in one built by people who
simply went out to the airport and watched them taking off and
landing? Once you develop a scientific swing, it's your own game that
will really soar.
