First, the artwork.
If you like your golf instruction books to be intersperced with glossy, simplistic images of moodily lit drums that would make an orthopaedic surgeon jibber then great. Similarly, if you want a set of images that give you an idea of what Salvador Dali might have done with the topic of 'The swing' then fine. Indeed, if you like images of men clad in nothing but CK boxer shorts you're laughing. If you don't or might be looking for compehensive, informative, coherant or in any practical sense- useful pictures then FORGET IT.
Banal analogies- Frankly I have no idea what planet the author was on when he came up with some of his analogies but they left me guffawing. I would personally be embarrased to publish such inane drivel for fear of ceasless ridicule from anyone that knows me but hey, someone must have fallen for this child-like shtick at some point.
While peppering us with the kind of simile that would make Shakespear weep (with laughter), Mr. Bradley then goes on to butcher the english language with his quite unique combination of patronising smugness,helplessly combined with an overarching tone of obsequios , reification to his 7 allegidly biblical laws of golf, a tone which pervades every nerve jangling syllable of this tome.
I have come away from this book feeling the exact opposite to the way I felt having read Tiger woods book, which was clear, simple, enthusing and inspiring. This book may leave you befuddled, frustrated and angry at having wasted your money on , at best, a coffee table book.
I would be stunned if anyone other than a newbie to the world of golf instructional books found anything remotely useful in here. To those out there with a few titles on the bookshelf already- avoid.
excellent.. - Rated 
This is not a book of quick fixes, like the leadbetter books for example. Rather it is framework on which to improve your swing slowly but surely, and make lasting improvements. Theres not really any anecdotes in here, not one mention of any top pro. Its such an original book. If your considering buying your first golf book or 20th this one is for you. I am sure I am going to be constantly refering to this book for years to come. Don't be fooled by the hype of a lot of other instructional books, Nick Bradley and his book are the real deal.
They best way to teach the swing. - Rated

Nick Bradley has pushed forward the boundaries of golf tuition books with this new title. The front cover is the first indication that this book isn't going to be the normal walk round a golf pro's home course. The book offers more scientific visuals to the reader on how they can improve their golf swing by following Bradley's seven laws of the golf swing. The book includes the seven laws by illustrating them in a way that gives the reader a deeper understanding. For the same price as 5% of a new Callaway driver this book is a must buy and will go much further to improving your score!

Nick Bradley has pushed forward the boundaries of golf tuition and produced a book that will change the way game improvement books are written in the future. The book offers golfers outstanding visuals to improve every aspect of their golf swing with a simple step by step approach to Nick's seven laws of the golf swing. Nick Bradley is clearly the next generation of golf teachers and no doubt his dynamic teaching methods will establish him as one of the worlds top professional coaches in the next decade. It's so refreshing to see a golf book move away from pictures of the pro playing their home course but have something more scientific that actually contains substance and fact. Personally my game has improved since reading the book and surely that is proof that this book is a success? For about the same price as a 20 min lesson with your PGA pro (who is more interested in selling mars bars and cans of coke) this book is a must buy!
