Rating:  Summary: great book Review: if you want to lower your handicap, this is the book that you want to buy. master the excercises and you're on your way to lowering that handicap. i guarantee it. it has helped me tremendously
Rating:  Summary: Very technical Review: This book was too much like an infomercial for the author's training equipment.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book to sharpen your putting skills Review: This book, however technical, was very useful is clarifying and explaining different putting techniques. After reading and much practice, my putting has dramatically improved from within 15 feet, and my handicap has dropped from a 12 to a 9.
Rating:  Summary: Very good, but obsolete Review: This is a very good book, but we must leave room at the top for better books (by Dave Pelz, of course :-) Since his "Putting Bible" came out, there is no longer any need for this book. "The Bible" has everything this book has and then some. If you are looking for a used book in paperback to save a lot of money off the hardcover bible, then this represents an excellent value, since the basic ideas are here.Note - this is not for those looking for a few tips, band-aids, or just some feel-good words to make you feel better about yourself. This is serious game-improvement stuff. If you just want to daydream about being a better putter, get a putting book by one of the other guys. If you REALLY want to be a better putter, get this and get to work!

Rating:  Summary: The best book on putting Review: This is the ONLY book you need on putting!! Dave taught me things I never thought are relevant to putting.
Rating:  Summary: The authoritative cookbook for improving your putting Review: This well-written and easily digestible book by Dave Pelz is as good as any book you're likely to encounter on the subject of putting. It teaches all the fundamentals and backs them up with Pelz's research. One of the most useful parts of the book is the putting games that it describes. The most useful of them, "Safety Drawback," teaches you to hit the ball into a "cone" past the hole. Reading this book alone won't make you a better putter, of course. That'll take about 10,000 more practice putts. :) But at least you'll know what to practice. I can't find any major faults with this book. Pelz suggests a particular technique but he also accepts that many other strokes and techniques work well. Whether you're a beginner who is still trying to figure out what a decent putting stroke looks like, or an experienced player who is just trying to work out the kinks in his game, you'll find at least something in this book to help you. Highly recommended and, at present, there's no better book on the market as far as I know.
