Thanks. I have added those to my list too. I hope to have a pretty complete library for my son when he gets a little bit bigger. One thing I know for sure, with help from folks like you it won't take him over 20 years to get a good, mechanically solid, swing.

Thanks all.

Thanks All Thus Far
Thanks to all that have contributed. I plan to consolidate the listing to post in a week or so for all. Keep them coming. Someone had recommended Bertholdy Book for exercises. Didn't like the descriptions I have heard and I'm not a big believer in your "mind" learning static positions over a long period of time. Anyone have thoughts on his book?

Golf-O- Metrics
Have any of you read the book "Golf-O-Metrics"?

I tried to find it once, but the cost was over $200.00!!

Mechanics
Burner,

I feel pretty safe at that price. Easily worth that for the pictures of how the hands work at the top alone. Easy read and you will be amazed at how much it mimics what we hear here.

Still wanting to know if anyone has info on Bertholdy (spelling probably wrong).

Lagster,

I had a chance at Golf-O-Metrics here in SA at a local store for about $70 bucks, 2 years ago. Really bad shape. Passed on it, wish I hadn't now.

I know several folks reference it and he discusses how most problems in golf are related to turn and poor hands. Be interested to hear if it is worth it.

The Bertholy book is a set of static and dynamic drills to achieve proper impact with tremendous lag. Its basic training on using the right hand properly in the golf swing. Some people have had good sucess with his approach but it does take a lot of effort.

Yoda spent some time with Bertholy and probablly could provide more insite.

Got it today and you are right.

Did you get "The Golfing Manual" yet? Now that is worth a couple of bucks!

Best Golf Book
Thank you, 12 piece bucket, for your recommendation a few months ago of Every Shot Must Have A Purpose. Not only is it the best book I have ever read about golf; it offers great lessons about life in general. I'm going to buy another copy for my son.
