 Great research, lousy exercises April 17, 2000
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The research presented is interesting and suggests that the exercises would be effective. Instead, it is just more of the same old stuff. I can't see how this program is likely to help a golfer.
OK book, needs an update February 14, 2000

Not a bad book, just a little outdated from some of the information and training techniques the trainers use at my athletic club. Doesn't show enough stomach work in my estimation or work with common weight machines.
 Golf is a game that matures like wine June 27, 1999

And like fine wines, if you intend for things to turn out well in the long term, you have to set the starting conditions up right. Hospitals and clinics (and golf courses) are packed with people living in pain as a result of unwise swinging. Since it has long ago been determined that timing and flexibility, more than strength and aggression, are the keys to consistency and power in golf, you might be interested in an approach that prepares your body for just that. Simple, direct, and backed by valid research. This book will bring results. It is a great contribution to sports medicine. More pars to you!
This book is brilliant! December 31, 1998

The exercises recommended by Dr. Jobe and his colleagues work! They have helped me get from a 15 to a 7 handicap, by increasing my trunk stability, and allowing me to achieve a full shoulder turn. My shots have greater length and accuracy, and I feel better at the end of eighteen holes. I recommend this to anyone looking to improve their game and willing to put in the hard work to follow the routine.
Excellent program; easy to follow instructions. November 15, 1998

This book contains the essential elements of an easy-to-follow how-to book. The authors explain the why, what and how clearly; and the use of pictures is most helpful. The authors are highly credible (orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists). I am 50 years old and a 16 handicapper who plays three or four times a month. The last 3 or 4 years, I had been experiencing lower back pain while playing and I had lost some distance from my game (ie - drives were traveling 210-220 rather than 240-250). A physical therapist started me on this books regimine five months ago. So far, the results are improved flexibility, better strength, no more back pain and some improved distance in shot length. The daily routine takes 30 minutes or less. I will continue to follow its program and look forward to more improvement.
