Golf From the Ground Up - Bob Mullen - Bog - Burford Books,U.S. - Plusbog.dk
With it''s refreshing common-sense approach, clear explanations, and helpful drills, this book by USGTF Master Pro Bob Mullen makes the perfect "go-to" reference for any golfer who wants to bring a sound, repeatable foundation to their swing. Mullen emphasises the critical importance of the "platform," the synergy of grip, stance, footwork, rotation, alignment, and ball position. A repeatable swing cannot happen until the fundamentals of the platform are mastered. Errant shots come from errors in the platform, not the swing. "Get your platform fundamentals correct", writes Mullen, "and the swing corrects itself". Topics covered include: Grip -- and how seemingly slight changes in grip can wreak havoc on ball flight; Stance -- three positions for the feet, always the same; Footwork -- truly "golf from the ground up"; Rotation -- the engine of the golf swing; Alignment -- and how optical illusions can lead to misalignment; Ball Position -- three positions, moving the feet, not the hands plus drills to practice until the skills become permanent. This book also addresses the slice -- "the number one fault in golf" -- with a fresh analysis of why the slice occurs and how to cure it. And the Author''s Notes section breaks new ground on one of golf''s perennial questions, "Hogan''s secret", with Mullen''s insightful analysis of how Hogan achieved his remarkable club-head speed.
