Hank Haney is one of the most well-respected and sought-after golf instructors in the world today. He is famous for rebuilding the swing of the world's #1 player, who has gone on to win six more Majors and counting. Haney has also worked with hundreds of top pros, including Masters and British Open champion Mark O'Meara, who attributes the durability and dependability of his swing to Haney and says that "Hank knows more about ball flight and what controls it than anyone in the game.". In this book, Haney goes beyond tips and quick fixes to lay out the principles behind the perfect swing. Point by point, chapters cover every aspect of the swing, from grip to contact to ball flight, with 160 illustrations to help players understand the concepts and check their form. Putting Haney's approach into practice enables players to make the powerful, repeating swing that can hit every kind and shape of shot--with every club in the bag--with equal ease on a consistent basis. A master work from a master instructor, Essentials of the Swing will be essential reading for any golfer who is looking to reach the height of his or her game.
