Like most, I was skeptical but ordered the book. Glad I did. Best help I’ve received (and I’ve “read’em all”). Buy it, you won’t regret it.

To be honest, I was very skeptical about this book as I traditionally have preferred books from well known authors. I don’t know what finally made me push the “buy” button on my kindle.
I am very excited I did so as this decision could change my golf level forever.
I read the book in a couple of hours. The concepts were clear and simple and the method taught was definitely unique.
My handicap has been around 16 for the last couple of years and I am anxious to see what will happen in the next months after what I experienced yesterday:
I practiced the drills the night I read the book in my home and went to the practice range next day.
Believe me I had never before in my entire life hit the ball so well and so far. All my shots were going higher and further. My driver distance was at least 25 yards longer and straighter than ever. I already implemented the setup and backswing taught on the book pretty easily and think I still need to work more on the lag drills to master it.
I truly recommend this new book to anyone interested in becoming a better player.

I’m your typical weekend hack. I paly about once a week, struggle to break 100. and usually slice my drives into the adjoining fairway.
I bought this book (the Kindle version) on a lark. It was offered for only $0.99 – I figured it was worth a try. I bought Friday night, read it quickly, and practiced only a few of the drills in the mirror (without a club) before my Saturday morning round.
Everything was different during that round. I followed the setup and backswing instructions listed by Tamayo and my game changed instantly. I was hitting the ball cleanly and my power slice turned into a very gentle fade. I was hitting most fairways and many greens in regulation. I had 9 pars on the day and scored an 83! Up to this point, my low round was somewhere in the low-nineties.
What a difference. It was definitely the best golf advice I’ve ever received. If you’re struggling with your game, buy a copy of the book — you won’t regret it.

I have read quite a few golf books and magazines, and the information contained within always claimed to be “easy” or “simple”, and all that literature did was clutter my head with conflicting swing thoughts, and gave me a serious case of “analysis paralysis”. After all my reading, I figured out that I need to simplify my swing and increase lag. This little miracle of a book explains those two concepts in a way that makes it very easy to conceptualize. I just put the book down and felt compelled to write this review. I cannot wait to put the concepts that J.F. Tamayo has clearly laid out. I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to clear away all the nonsense and mumbo-jumbo written about the golf swing and just wants to learn to improve.

Mr. Tamayo has created an interesting little pamphlet here. He claims that you can improve your golf swing when you stop focusing on the little details, and just follow his three simple steps toward the secret of the golf swing. He says himself that his book is intended as a “quick fix” book… so if you want to shave a couple strokes off your handicap, you should be able to in short order if you read this.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s the case here. The tips and advice he gives are sound, and the golf pro I discussed them with agreed with me. However, you won’t go from being a 25+ handicap to a 10 handicap in one weekend.
This book is intended for someone who is inconsistent off the tee and in the fairway. It helps to break the golf swing down into simple elements, and allows you to begin crafting a more consistent swing, due to focusing on the checkpoints he gives. You will hit the ball straighter and longer, but like he says, you’ll need to engrain his advice into your muscle memory first. Like everything, it will take work. if you are below a 10 handicap, don’t bother with this. Possibly buy it as a gift for one of your fellow golfers who struggles a little more.
As many golfers know, however, the true way to really start lowering your scores is to putt, putt, putt, chip, chip, chip, and pitch, pitch, pitch. This book gives little advice on the short game, but that’s okay. It’s not what its intended purpose is. Combine this book with Secrets of the Short Game and you’ll have a good one-two punch to start improving your game.
In summary, if you struggle to swing the club consistently off the tee or with your irons from 120 yards out or further, this would be a good book for you (especially if you have a Kindle… it’s only $.99). It will teach you more consistent ball striking and give you a technique that will lower your scores. Combine it with some good short game advice for a true complete instruction.
