Unlock a Grooved, Repeatable Swing

This fully updated 3rd edition consolidates decades of coaching wisdom into a clear, building-block approach. PGA Master Instructor Jim McLean distills the true fundamentals into eight checkpoint positions, helping you develop a swing that's consistent, repeatable, and mechanically sound. Rich with accessible explanations, precise photographs, and more than 50 new illustrations, the guide translates theory into how you actually move on the practice range and the course.
