Today, Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia and Jim Furyk provide dramatic examples. Now le

I finally found my Slot with this Book!,
I am a five handicap and have read an insurmountable amount of golf instruction books. However, I have never read a book that freed my mind up more than the Slot Swing. I have always though that the backswing was so important and that you had to swing it back on the same plane that it comes down on. The vivid pictures and great imagery in this book really helped me understand that all great players had their own way of finding the slot. I thought a lot about this and realized that I had always played my best when I felt like I took the club a little up going back and then dropped it back under coming down, but I always went away from it because I thought it was wrong. Jim McLean provides incredible evidence that there are three ways to find the slot and that there is no one perfect backswing!!!! I am so glad I ordered this book it has had a huge impact on my golf game. I highly recommend it.

|Excellent,
I am a self-taught 11-handicap (20+ rounds in the 80s) after starting to play 11 months ago. During the never-ending process of trying to “figure” out the golf swing I stumbled upon many things that “worked” and many, many more that did not. This book discusses and explains many of the things I remember “discovering” but could not explain, recall properly, or repeat.
Other books (and I read at least a dozen) mostly focus on ONE PRESCRIBED way of doing things, a set of hard rules, and a plethora of tips. Unlike them, “The Slot Swing” explains a very simple swing FRAMEWORK within which all great swings can be identified. One is free to “customize” and “personalize” how to do things as long as he stays within the described parameters. Very liberating and super-intuitive.
I personally never liked how specific swing rules and tips were — swinging that way lacked “freedom of expression” and just could not account for so much variability of good swings on the Tour. If you agree with this statement or at least wonder about how one tip works one day but it summarily disappears the next this book is for you.
It might be better to learn and understand this framework instead of worrying about superficial aspects of the swing that work for someone but may completely wreck YOUR swing. Learn and then apply it in your unique way. It will work, I am absolutely convinced.

|Finally the truth gets revealed!,
Over the years I`ve purchased my share of golf instruction books sold on Amazon but never considered writing a review. This book is different because it holds the secret to the pro swing and it’s pictured right on the front cover.
Mclean explains by comparative analysis that the only thing a golfer needs to accomplish on the downswing is to get on a shallow downswing plane. Jim refers to this movement as getting into the “slot”.
Jim is without question the best golf analyst of the modern era. In many ways this book is an update to Ben Hogan’s original ideas regarding the Plain of the glass concept however Jim goes all the way demonstrating the many more variables that Mr. Hogan didn’t consider. In defense of Mr. Hogan he didn’t have access to high speed film.
I warn you, once you get the feeling of the slot swing you might want to kill yourself for wasting all those rounds of golf you played hitting over the top.
If you’re ready for this material, you won’t need any other book. In my opinion this is the most valuable contribution to improving the full golf swing that has ever come along!
