Was asked about this book recently and while I have heard mention of a more vertical swing am not familiar with the author. Anybody read it or have thoughts?

Haven't read it, but I don't agree with this part from the part you can read on Amazon's preview:

  Quote

Why Traditional Instruction Isn't for You

The golfer who doesn’t have the range of motion he used to have. Or may not be able to pack as much raw power into his swing as he once could. The golfer who’s had a hip replacement or knee surgery or lower back pain.

      Day 252: worked on chipping for a while with my chipping net. Worked on low, medium, and high shots. Productive session.

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
