There's two books that I often use/read when I want to improve on some aspect of my game. Videos are nice, but for some reason I get the most out of these books.

My Dad gave me this book a couple of months ago and it has helped me a lot. Right off the bat it helped me with my strong grip, making it more neutral which helped me tone down my draws. All the pictures are drawings, but that doesn't seem to bother me. You still get the same effect and can perfectly see what he's talking about. It's worth a shot to pick it up if you have some extra cash and could use some tips. Here's the link for amazon. You could probably find it somewhere else, but I thought this would be the easiest. There are A LOT of pictures, which can help with things like grip. It isn't a book that has pages of nothing but words, which is nice and easy to understand.

I also have the book Tiger made, and that has also helped me, especially with putting. It's also pretty cheap if you can get it used. You can see the similarities between the two guys. Also, having both may give you two things to try out. If something Jack wrote doesn't work for me, maybe the thing Tiger does.

Just thought I'd share this in case someone hasn't heard of this book before. The copyright is 1978, but it still has helped me improve.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
