 Top Class December 18, 2008

This is not a 'stick your left hand here, right hand here, swing it like me and you'll beat 70 in a week' type of book. Nick Bradley, whose career I have followed closely, started by reading any and every instructional book ever written and over the next few years worked with some of the world's greatest teachers to hone his skills. He has coached at every level of the game and, having had tuition from him myself, can personally attest that he is good, really really good. This book takes a look at the fundamentals of the game from a new slant, using powerful imagery to create lasting impressions. I can guarantee that Bradley will not claim to have reinvented the wheel, but it's now got shiny new alloys and white wall tyres! I have dozens and dozens of instruction books on my shelf, and this is the one that gets thumbed through most often when I'm seeking inspiration. A great read, treat yourself.

If you only ever buy one golf instruction book get, your hands on this one.
As a former player and now PGA instructor I can honestly say that this is the most informative and simple to understand piece of instruction I have ever come across.
All the great information is carefully explained and greatly illustrated like no other golf instruction book before.
You will never regret buying this book
Bradley's 7 Laws of the Golf Swing reappraised September 8, 2008

It was disappointing to read the recently posted critical reviews of Nick Bradley's 7 Laws of the Golf Swing. Obviously one cannot please everyone but, sadly, it gives rise to speculation as to whether the reviewers had made an in depth study of the contents of what has become the most highly commended instructional book on the technical aspects of the golf swing published in the last few years and which arguably has set the new bench mark standard for innovation in golf tuition rendering obsolete much of the previously published work in this field
This comes over as the work of a truly dedicated and passionate believer in and exponent of the game virtually guaranteeing that anyone who is prepared to analyse and commit to study and practice will be in a position to raise their performance to levels only previously dreamed of
Unsurprisingly the majority of readers do find the book a great help and let us remember that Bradley not only coaches Justsin Rose but also many top professionals and amateurs in Europe and the USA
If you need more then check out his background and achievements on his web site

Looking at the other reviews for this book it appears to have divided peoples' opinions. Personally I found it hard to follow. There appeared to be contradictions - e.g. an exercise on increasing leg flexion during the swing followed by a point about keeping belt buckle height constant throughout the swing. The visual images were uninspiring. The text has many pseudo-anatomical references with no convincing evidence to support them.
I'm sure Nick Bradley is a great golf coach in person. Unfortunately he is a poor writer. There are plenty of better books available.

First, the artwork.
If you like your golf instruction books to be intersperced with glossy, simplistic images of moodily lit drums that would make an orthopaedic surgeon jibber then great. Similarly, if you want a set of images that give you an idea of what Salvador Dali might have done with the topic of 'The swing' then fine. Indeed, if you like images of men clad in nothing but CK boxer shorts you're laughing. If you don't or might be looking for compehensive, informative, coherant or in any practical sense- useful pictures then FORGET IT.
Banal analogies- Frankly I have no idea what planet the author was on when he came up with some of his analogies but they left me guffawing. I would personally be embarrased to publish such inane drivel for fear of ceasless ridicule from anyone that knows me but hey, someone must have fallen for this child-like shtick at some point.
While peppering us with the kind of simile that would make Shakespear weep (with laughter), Mr. Bradley then goes on to butcher the english language with his quite unique combination of patronising smugness,helplessly combined with an overarching tone of obsequios , reification to his 7 allegidly biblical laws of golf, a tone which pervades every nerve jangling syllable of this tome.
I have come away from this book feeling the exact opposite to the way I felt having read Tiger woods book, which was clear, simple, enthusing and inspiring. This book may leave you befuddled, frustrated and angry at having wasted your money on , at best, a coffee table book.
I would be stunned if anyone other than a newbie to the world of golf instructional books found anything remotely useful in here. To those out there with a few titles on the bookshelf already- avoid.
