| Customer Reviews: Plain Speaking January 23, 2010 Mark Pastin (DC Metro) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a fascinating book in several ways. It swims against the tide of current golf trends
and instruction fashion. And it let's you inside the head of one of the greatest competitors
who ever lived. Will it help your putting? If you read it and practice what it preaches, good
results are almost inevitable. If only the goofball PGA pros and telemarketing sharks could explain
it so simply and succinctly. I think of this one as being like Hogan's Fundamentals except focusing on putting
rather than a full swing. A must have for the avid golfer.
Putting Jack's way. September 5, 2010 D. Toop (Edmonton, AB, Canada) If you want technical stand like this, hold tour hands like this, bend at the hips at x angle instruction don't bother with this book.
If you want common sense advice starting with the mental aspects and mental pitfalls of putting to how to pick a putter, how to read greens, read grain, and how to approach putts that are difficult to read, both uphill and downhill. What practice is for and how Jack used it along with the value of advice. I enjoyed reading this as much for the incidental golf advice as much as for the putting advice.
It also gives you a look at what was going on in Jack's head and hands during some of his greatest moments with a putter in his hand. In those moments you realize what made him the tournament player he was and what I need to do to be a better putter and player.
