Kurzbeschreibung
Hank Haney is one of the most well-respected and sought-after golf instructors in the world today. He is famous for rebuilding the swing of the world's #1 player, who has gone on to win six more Majors and counting. Haney has also worked with hundreds of top pros, including Masters and British Open champion Mark O'Meara, who attributes the durability and dependability of his swing to Haney and says that "Hank knows more about ball flight and what controls it than anyone in the game." In this book, Haney goes beyond tips and quick fixes to lay out the principles behind the perfect swing. Point by point, chapters cover every aspect of the swing, from grip to contact to ball flight, with 160 illustrations to help players understand the concepts and check their form. Putting Haney's approach into practice enables players to make the powerful, repeating swing that can hit every kind and shape of shot--with every club in the bag--with equal ease on a consistent basis. A master work from a master instructor, Essentials of the Swing will be essential reading for any golfer who is looking to reach the height of his or her game. Hank Haney (Westlake, TX) is #3 on Golf Digest's list of America's 50 greatest golf teachers. He's the Director of Instruction at the Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy and the founder of Hank Haney Golf, Inc., which operates golf programs nationwide.

This book is fantastic since it describes the fundamentals of the modern golf swing without any doubts or ambiguities. Everything described in this book reflects the truth - in other words you can check pictures / videos of tour professional golf swings and you will find that they do what Haney says. If you follow this book and have your progress checked by proper video analysis, you will get close to the perfect golf swing.
Haney's book is the first book on the golf swing which really leaves you with a clear and systematic understanding of the golf swing.
The illustrations are very good, too.
I would recommend this book as a must read.

Wieder ein sehr gutes Buch von Hank Haney. Er schreibt zwar zur Technik kaum etwas Neues, bzw. nichts was er in früheren Publikationen nicht schon erläutert hätte. Es ist aber immer wieder interessant wie er die für Ihn relevanten Technikteile neu verpackt und umschreibt. Ein Muss für jeden Tiger und Haney Fan.

Great swing model; not just a set of golf tips
27. Juni 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Hank Haney's "Essentials of the Swing" is a great full swing golf instructional book. That fact his golf swing plan is based on a a-z set of golf principles, rather than a set of tips and tricks to temporarily cure golf swing defects, puts this book heads and shoulders over just about any other golf insturction book you would find at your nearest Barnes and Noble or Borders.
I have read over 40 golf instruction books over the past couples years and this book easily makes it into my top 5 books that I would recommend if you are serious about improving your golf swing and not just looking for a few miracle cures for your slice or hook. Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons," David Leadbetter's "The Fundamentals of Hogan," (Hogan's book dissected with suggestions for improvements), Nick Faldo's "A Swing For Life," (very much influenced by Leadbetter), Jim Hardy's "The Plane Truth for Golfer's Master Class," and Jack Nicklaus's "Golf My Way" are all books worth reading 5 times or more. Although I believe Jack's swing thoughts are a little less relevant to today's golf swing, it is still a classic and great read. I find myself gravitating towards Faldo's book most often. With this said, I would lump Hank Haney's "Essentials of the Swing" in with these as a favorite.
Where Hank makes a contribution is the discussion of the swing arc and swing plane. I thought I had a great understanding of the swing plane until I read Hank's book. The idea of keeping the shaft parallel to the swing plane established at address, but at times above the orginal angle throughout the swing, seemed simple yet a new thought not presented (or presented clearly) by other instructors. His swing model is one built without any compensations and built on sheer neutral and sound fundamentals.
Hank's next best contribution to golf swing literature is the chapter on shaping shots from left to right, right to left, high, and low. I think anyone with a moderate amount of skill can replicate these swings arcs to bring their game to the next level. I favor a fade but it is necessary to learn how to hit draws, low, and high shots to become a complete golfer.
All in all, it is great book and a must read. Once you get it in your hands, I am sure you will read it many times over, I am on my 4th reading!

Hank does what he does best, but not the Publisher
4. April 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Just read Hank's latest book and found it highly informative and excellent overall. His instruction is straight-forward and easy to follow...he obviously knows his subject and conveys it like you would expect "Tiger's Coach" to do. I believe it is a book that I will reference over and over like Hank states he did with Hogan's "Five Lessons..." and John Jacob's "Practical Golf." Both of which I have read and reference often also. I've also read Nicklaus' "Golf My Way" and of course Tiger's "How I Play Golf," two books that are also well written and highly informative. This leads me to the reason I have rated Hank's book with only 4 stars when I would rank the others I've mentioned with 5 stars. The editing and photographs in Hank's book are average at best (2-3 stars) and certainly not what I would expect from a hardcover 1st Edition. Hank and the reader deserve better from the publisher that he praises, John Wiley & Sons. While I'm not a professional writer myself, I do know how to run spell check on a document and proofread it. One example of several typos and grammatical errors occurs on page xii of the Acknowledgments. The editors didn't catch, "...when I first stared teaching Tiger Woods..." instead of "...started teaching Tiger Woods..." Furthermore, while the pictures of Hank are well done and convey what he is writing, they are all black and white and I don't see one drawing in the book that Hank alludes to in the acknowledgments: "...Scott Addison, thanks for your great work on transforming the pictures that Dom took into the great drawings in this book." I was expecting to see some high quality drawings like Jim McQueen's in "Golf My Way" or Anthony Ravielli's in "Five Lessons..." and "Practical Golf." Instead, it looks like the publisher just inserted the black and white photographs that would've been used for the drawings, into the book itself. I really hope that Hank takes the publisher to task and forces them to put out a 2nd edition with color photographs and/or color drawings, along with better editing. Finally, while Tiger is mentioned multiple times in the book (but not gratuitously), I find it odd that he didn't write the foreward or afterword...it's not like he didn't have the time last fall or winter. From what I've seen and heard of Hank on TV and in Golf Digest, he probably didn't want to ask, but someone else could have and should have, like his agent or publisher maybe? Well, perhaps Tiger will write something for the 2nd edition that I'll be looking for, and that the publishers should send to buyers of the 1st edition "gratis." Again, Hank does a great job, but others have let him down in my opinion. If the content wasn't so good, I would send the book back to Amazon for a refund.

"Get a Plan to Improve" Help
1. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
What I appreciate about Hank is his admiration and thanks for John Jacobs, whom is the teacher that inspired my pro. They are all about essentials: grip, stance, alignment, plane, ball flight. Everytime my swing is way off, it is usually one or more of these.
Hank has so many good points every golfer can achieve much with, e.g. "The club you want to look at the closest in determining your ball-flight curvature mistake is your driver." From this one develops a plan of improvement, with looking at tendencies and paths for corrections with these essentials. More gleanings: "If you are going to get any part of your body alignment correct at address, make it your eyes and shoulders." "If you start your downswing with your upper body, the club will likely come down on too steep a plane." "Don't go out on the range with your favorite club or clubs. .... Instead, work on the clubs you are struggling with." "During Tiger's warm-up, he practices all the shots that he feels will be critical to his round that day."
Good photos throughout. For many this could be the essential book for making our golf better.
