It looks a bit overpriced for the depth of analysis. Appears to have a very heavy reliance on Pelz.

Don't see much indication of original work / experimental data. An interesting question to explore would have been if the putting stroke is like a pendulum are both simple pendulum and driven pendulum models equally valid for results or is one better than the other across a full range of putting green variables?

Look, I know putting is a lot harder than it looks, but how can one genuinley write a whole book about it ?

I started a portion of this book so far, it is heavy in research and seems overpriced for what it is.
