Gets to the root cause of good swings July 9, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I struggled for years without improvement going to mechanical teachers, and watching mechanics-based videos and books by Leadbetter, McLean, Mann and several Tour Pros. I could never understand how teaching to hit a stationary golf ball could be more complex than teaching to hit a 90 mph fastball. The answer is, it's not. The golf teaching industry has looked at the swing and said, "we see how it moves". So that's the way they teach. In a visual mode by positions. But the golf swing is really controlled by feedback (feel). You can't see your own positions. I finally drastically improved after I read Ernest Jones' 'Swing the Clubhead'. Flick's 'On Golf' is a progression of Jones' concept and gives a more indepth look at how to attain and keep a feel-based swing. We are not machines. We cannot accurately repeat positions. But we can repeat feel and Jim Flick understands that.
FEEL BETTER AND PLAY WELL February 5, 1999

In addition to a thorough explaination to the basic golf swing, this book helps the reader believe he can play golf. Jim explains how to enjoy golf more by becoming less mechanical and more in touch with what the golfer feels during the golf swing. Very enjoyable and comfortable reading. All written with the positive mind set golfers respect in the late Harvey Penick. Jim believes that you play golf to relieve tension and that to play golf well you must release tension. The book is broken down into many small lessons, each of which conveys confidence to the student. Most golfers believe that you need to relax to play your best and Jim gives the reader tactics to accomplish tension release. A great book to have at your desk during a coffee break.
