Product Description
The legendary golf instructional, available again. This is, along with Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, THE book Golf professionals turn to.
"Thirty years ago I was recommending Joe Dante's book The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf as a must read for aspiring PGA professionals.What Dante said in '62 has influenced many of the game's finest teachers.Dante was a visionary."--Gary Wiren, author of New Golf Mind
When published, The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf radically changed the way many players thought about the golf swing.Dante's system showed how simple it was to improve one's game, and at the same time gave the golfer one of the most comprehensive analyses of swing mechanics ever published.Now, thirty-three years after its original publication, Main Street is proud to reissue this classic instructional. Dante begins by sweeping out all the misconceptions of the game."If good golf is to be learned and the poor player is to improve, a purging must take place, painful as it may be." Dante discusses a few basics of grip and stance, and then he gets to the heart of his book, the four magic moves.As he reveals each of the moves, Dante focuses on the physical checkpoints so that any golfer can make sure that his or her swing is on the right track.
The Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf is straightforward and easy to understand, yet unlike other golf books it is irreverent and audacious in its approach to mastering the game.The publication of this rediscovered classic is sure to establish Joe Dante's reputation as one of golf's greatest teachers.

This book is all you need. Don't believe the other reviews that talk about this swing needing timing, or hurting your back. It requires less timing than the traditional swing and, because the clubface is square throughout the swing, even mis-hits go straight. The biggest difference is the early wrist break under, not around, which feels weird at first. It does get you to the top nice and square, and with the neutral grip you return square as well. If you get a sore back you are doing something you're not supposed to.
If you've been a traditional golfer for a while it may take some time to learn this swing, but it's worth it.

There is a lot of rehashed material in this book and frankly its a little hard to read and not terribly insightful. I've read many many many golf books over the years and this one has some good information in it but it takes way too long to get to the point sometimes. Also, I think some of the wrist techniques are outdated and really have to be developed with perfect timing. A decent book for Novice and better golfers but NOT recommended for beginners. Their is no "magic" here folks.

Approaching sixty, for some godforsaken reason I have determined to construct a serviceable golf swing. It appears that no one book will satisfy that intention, rather one must sort through and experiment with what the literature provides. That said, the one constant during my erratic golf career, other than high scores, has been a wicked, wicked slice. It is a big reason I have only played the game some ten times in the past twenty five years, the greens fees here in Japan being another. Joe Dante's Magic Move #1 has cured me of it. Whether the 'backward wrist break' has driven a stake through Banana's evil heart remains to be seen, but each trip down to Hanazato Golf confirms that MY SLICE IS DEAD. Anyway, I think so. Joe seems to revel in the pain inducing awkwardness of the Magic Moves and the 'wrist break' has indeed caused a dull ache in my hands and forearms. One hopes it will go away. In the meantime I'm enjoying sliceless golf shots and even the occasional draw. The rest of the 'magic moves' are yours for the taking; I'm not so sure about them. I suppose any book which cures someone of a slice should get five stars but it's all so relative. What worked for me may not for you. But don't forget Fred Shoemaker's book. Or Jim McLellan's video! And good luck!

If you follow this you will get back pain and risk ending up like Fred Couples.
