5 stars (Information overload) - How much to you think you know about putting? Read greens, roll the ball at the hole, etc.. Guess what? You probably don't know the half of it. Pelz is a scientist. While his book is written to be easy to read, he does not hold back. All his data and ideas are here. He discusses everything from the miriad variety of putting strokes, to the 15 facets of the putting game he has derived. To be clear, this book is pretty heavy reading. However, his focus is not on convincing the reader of this "super technique", nor does he fill pages up with tips. He goes through and presents his data, makes conclusions regarding it, and recommends certain methods. While he doesn't force any one method on the reader, he goes to great lengths to convince you. Maybe you like your door-hinge putting arc. Fine. But why is that not as good as a pendulum-type motion (which he recommends)? He explains, not from conjecture or "years of teaching experience", but with simple scientific data and common sense. Unless you have read his other books, you most likely haven't encountered a book of golf instruction like this. It may not settle well with many readers, but if you give it a chance it will help you out. Keep in mind too that the goal he sets is not to give your stroke a quick fix with a tip. He is out to give you a stroke you will be able to use anytime, anywhere, from the time you master it until you hang your putter up for the last time. That means that there is no quick route: you need to practice. He is blunt enough to even come out and say that to groove a putting stroke requires around 20,000 repetitions. A hard truth to face, but I'd rather work towards that and develop a good permanent stroke rather than creating a patchwork stroke that breaks down every week. 5 stars (the best book you can buy to improve your putting) - an easy to read book. it explains to the core the "art" of putting. Mr. Pelz is a solid golf instructor / analyst. If you are ...
