Just got my copy today as a late Xmas gift. I am VERY excited. I didn't think anyone would get this for me but the ol' bro inlaw came thru.(and if I didn't get it for xmas it was first on my list to buy ASAP...gotta give the little kinnipaks something to get me....)
I really liked it. Much of it is probably commonsense, however, i feel there are two things that are important when reading :-
1. to learn from what you read,
2. to confirm that what you are already doing is correct.
Obviously, you need to feel confident that the authors are correct in their writing otherwise the above doesnt help.
I especially liked the downswing chapter as it put in numbers stuff that we as players often hear about but have difficulty in quantifying (for example, i didnt realise how thin the edge for winning players was).
