Summary: not proofed very well
Comment: In the text on the set-up several times he says bend from the waist,in summing up he says bend from the hips; as a scratch golfer who has played for more than 55 years I know you cannot have it both ways.
Rating: 5
Summary: step-by-step from one of the best
Comment: Excellent didactic from grip through follow through. This book simplifies the swing to its bare essentials. Excellent anecdotes and swing drills included. Most impressive to me is his criticism of Ben Hogan's classic "Five Step" book with reference to the shoulder plane during the swing and how it forced his swing as a young man to be too upright. This book is not for the 25 or above handicapper simply because the numerous descriptions and examples would probably hurt a very-high handicapper rather than help him/her. But for those below a 25, who are familiar with golf lingo, this book provides excellent structure for working on one's swing.

Summary: Hogan Passes the Torch to Price: "The Swing" is a Masterwork
Comment: As a boy, back in the 60's, the first golf book I ever read was Hogan's "Power Golf". Soon after I read his "Five Lessons." Both are classics. The later, revered as an almost "holy" exposition of swing thought. Since that time, I've read most all the available golf texts. I have never failed to learn something from all of them, but I never felt that any of them were as seminal as either of Hogan's. Nick Price has now taken the Hogan torch. In "The Swing" he has written the next absolute classic. This book IS seminal and a must read for any golfer at any skill level. Price relates swing theory in a readable and understandable way while creating in the mind of the reader the belief that a consistent and functional golf swing is attainable. Get it, read it, live it! You will be a better golfer for having done so
