Overall, I would recommend this book to any golfer willing to learn the basics and sound fundamentals that underlie a solid putting stroke. And as a more funky note, reading this book helped me click about how to properly drive the ball.
Helped me improve the way I was approaching putting, albeit not everything fits me. I'm more a mallet-putter type and won't go back to blades, so had to work a bit around the concepts expressed in the book to adapt them to my putting style.
Good book. but Stan points rightly to the fact that only achieving consistent ball impact unlocks your "natural" talent (just as for any other club).
Still, I share a big deal of "principles" and having them laid out in plain and simple english really helped out. One example is distance control: your body has it inside, no mechanics thinking can match that.
and it works. but some work will be left for you to adapt and integrate all this into your own style.
Straight forward advice - back to basics. A great book on how to putt and how to maintain a quality stroke. Keep it simple and succeed.
Excellent book. I wish I had read it years ago. Stan Utley takes a different approach to putting and makes it less mechanical and more like the full golf swing. It certainly made all the difference in the world to me after I had the lie angle on my putter revised to his recommendations.
Mr. Utley has covered all the bases in this book. It will certainly help those in a putting slump to go back to the basics to improve their fundamentals and technique in order to "feel" a sound putting stroke.
This is an understandable, straight forward, easy to adapt to method. Probably the best treatise on putting available.
