Excellent Methodology

This fine teaching tool has been around for awhile and has stood the test of time. There is a focus on solid analysis with clearly expressed performance and "mental clarity" goals. Mr. Merrins has been a well known golf instructor for decades and this manual reflects his deep understanding of the game. The lessons about the mental setup at address, of not thinking about "hitting the ball" but, rather, producing a consistent, effective result by "swinging the handle" and using the forearms to produce power, is essential to game improvement. Check out this fine informative read by "The Little Pro", Eddie Merrins.

Similar to the book in "Stack and Tilt" golf the tips in this book work.

But also like Stack and Tilt the tips in this book may not be current with what is taught today.
The part that is different here is the "turn", when you take the club back.

Again this would be good for people who are just learning golf. It's a "system" of golf you need to commit to.

Brilliant book

Much appreciate the wisdom in this golf book. As a 5 hcp golfer with 20 plus years of playing experience, I personally learned a lot. Brilliant and much appreciated !! Thanks you sir....

Very simple explanation of the golf swing. I feel a lot of modern teaching gets a bit complex which can lead to "paralysis by analysis" - I know I can fall victim to this. The Merrins Method is the opposite of this - I am willing to try this concept and see if it works for me.

Simple techniques

I’ve been trying to find a simple golf swing for twenty years. This method is straightforward and consistent. Easy read

40 year old golf instruction books are fun. This one is written in a clear style with some excellent illustrations. Author makes a convincing case for not grounding club in the setup a la Jack Nicklaus. All in all a fun quick read.

Interesting take in golf swing. Gave me some ideas. Nothing revolutionary. Recommend reading if you have time and are looking for an out of the box view of the golf swing.

Good tips

Works if you work it. Need to re-read passages a number of times to fully understand. 4 more words required.
