Product Description
Putting has often been described as an art, but the author of this book, by trade a physicist, has analyzed it as never before, using scientific principles. Pelz has come up with a system to perfect your putting stroke -- or at least to come as close to perfect as humanly possible.

Scientific approach to putting August 9, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I remember buying this book over a decade ago. It is a truly amazing book.
Putting is simple in concept. (On the putting green, use putter to hit ball into hole. Repeat on next golf hole until round is done). The author's main mechanical points could probably be made into a one page "recipe" sheet as one reviewer seemed to suggest. What makes this book amazing is that it established a scienitific basis for putting improvement. This book arms the reader with fundamental putting principles in the same way that a good cookbook provides background rather than just a list of recipes. This book is more than just about the how. It is about the why.
The author's newer putting book may supercede this book, but that does not take away from this book's historical importance.
 Too much scientific approach August 6, 2004

I was quite dissapointing by this book as it contains lot of pages but only a few important messages. If Mr Pelz would put these on one A4 sheet, it would be more appropriate. If you look for organised and clear putting teaching book, do not buy this book!
 Very good, but obsolete June 6, 2001

This is a very good book, but we must leave room at the top for better books (by Dave Pelz, of course :-) Since his "Putting Bible" came out, there is no longer any need for this book. "The Bible" has everything this book has and then some. If you are looking for a used book in paperback to save a lot of money off the hardcover bible, then this represents an excellent value, since the basic ideas are here.Note - this is not for those looking for a few tips, band-aids, or just some feel-good words to make you feel better about yourself. This is serious game-improvement stuff. If you just want to daydream about being a better putter, get a putting book by one of the other guys. If you REALLY want to be a better putter, get this and get to work!

I've watched Dave Pelz on the golf channel and took some of his chipping tips to the practice green where they really helped. I expected as much from this book. Unfortunately most of the practice methods in this book require using Pelz' special practice equipment and therefore aren't very helpful unless you have these items. There is some interesting info on the lack of consistency in how a golf ball rolls, but other than that I didn't get much out of this book. I certainly didn't need to read this to know that taking several hundred practice putts a week will make you a better putter, and that is the bottom line.
