A Religious Experience! - Rated 
A struggling 10 handicapper whose swing changes from 1 day to the next....not any more....thankyou Jim Hardy I've seen the light and it was you who showed me the way
Lessons instruction books tips from friends I now realise get you in a mish mash of trying to combine elements of the 1 and 2 plane swing
Jim Hardy explains clearly the fundamentals of each swing there's nothing new for the experienced golfer but the 'secret' is that you recognise which fundamentals apply to each swing Disregard those that do not apply to the swing you have adopted it's as simple as that
And by halving the myriad of swing thoughts one can concentrate more easily on the correct thoughts for the adopted swing!
Thanks Jim and you should increase the price of the book...it's a steal as far as I'm concerned
Should be on every golfer's bookshelf - Rated
The most amazing thing about golf is that the harder you try to get better the more confused and erratic you become.
Although this book suffers from a paucity of pictures and a rather text-heavy format, if you are a technically-minded 'student of the swing'then you will wish you read this book years ago.
I have numerous books, DVDs and subscriptions to magazines and what strikes you is how much contradictory information is out there in so-called 'instruction bibles'. With his break down of the one and two-plane swings, Hardy shows the reader why he cannot produce consistant results - because he has elements of both swings in his game.
This book is not for the absolute beginner, but for those who thought they understood the golf swing, but did not understand why they could not apply what they know, this is GOLD DUST!
Goldmine of Swing info. - Rated 
The information in this book has set me on the path of a rapidly declining handicap. (two shots last month, broke 80 for the first time)
If you want to sort out all the contradictions in swing teaching read this book and use the authours website forums. Jim Hardy has resurrected the one plane swing as used by Hogan and Snead and clarified the Montyesque two plane swing.
Why not 5 stars? The writing could be a little clearer and more pictures would help. The information is 6 stars though.
Excellent book pictures could be better - Rated
Should also buy his friend Hank Haneys book. They fit quite well together. This is a very good golf book. Where it could be better is the photos of Jim Hardy swinging the club. He says that Ernie and Michele Wie are pure one plane swingers and comparing them to his stooped over posture does not seem like a match. What I would like to see applied in the future is a re-analysis of Dr Ralph Manns and Fred Griffins "PRO" in their excellent book ,"Swing like a pro" using the one plane/two plane swing models introduced in this book to give an even better road map on how to swing the golf club. Jim Hardys one plane swing seems more Moe Norman than Michelle Wie. No bad thing when driving the golf ball but what about the short game ? The one plane swing he tells us is an updated version of the swing first described by Ben Hogan in his book.
Not For The Beginner, Hard For The Non-Beginner - Rated 
This is a strange book...on the sleeve and in the forewords,it is built up to be an absolute classic, a revolutionary new breakthrough in golf teaching...and yet, well, it's not! Not even close, in fact. The layout is confusing and very cluttered, the teachings are unclear and there is very little in the way of actual swing mechanics being taught. It's a book written as a result of his sessions with seasoned professionals, and it shows. A beginner would be totally confused at this book, I myself was confused at times and i'm a single-figure handicapper. In short, its overall idea is good, but this book is a classic example of how difficult it can sometimes be to transfer physical one-on-one coaching into a simple book with words & pictures. I'm sure the guy himself could change your game quickly in person, but this book just does not work in my opinion...such a shame because I had high hopes for it.
