Summary: GREAT GOLF INSTRUCTION
Review: George Hibbard has done it again! And this time it is even better! I helped George with the editing of this new book (his first one was entitled 'Perfect Impact'), so I am aware of the quality of his instruction from my previous exposure to it, as well as the intimate knowledge I have by being so involved in this one and with a substantial background in golf in my own right.
I have been to two of the best known golf schools in the country, my husband and I have a golf library that contains about 50 of the best known instruction books in the world, and numerous videos. Without any doubt whatsoever, this book of Mr. Hibbard's is far superior to any of those in its detail, clarity, completeness, and simplicity. It is the best instruction I have seen, both for the beginner and for the most advanced or technically inclined reader. The book is what should have been written 50 years ago in the way it uncovers so many things that have been omitted by virtually all of its predecessors - namely exactly what you need to do with the golf club to succeed, and how to make adjustments CORRECTLY for errors and faults.
This book needs to be in every golfer's library for what to start with, what to use to make progress, and what to use as a reference for virtually everything you will ever need to know to be a great golfer.

Summary: If golf frustrates you, give George a try!
Review: I found "Critical Details" better the "Perfect Impact", George's first book. I believe it's organized better and covers the topics in more detail. While both books are helpful, if you really want some help spend 3-5 days at the Perfect Impact Academy. George is probably one of the most positive individuals you will ever meet. Further, his mantra, "Make your adjustments at set up," works wonders for a struggling golfer. If you've tried other instructors and been frustrated by the minor adjustments they recommend and can't figure out what they're trying to have you accomplish, this man can get you where you want to go.

Summary: A POWERFUL WEAPON
Review: I really believe that no matter what level of golf you play, this book will improve your game. Mr. Hibbard uncovers the critical, often hidden, pitfalls that cause us to strike the ball less than perfectly while he explains through vivid mental images and photographs the reasoning behind the proper swing. You will find yourself identifying your own particular problem and then finding the solution to the problem, not just a temporary band-aid. Share this book with those golfers you would like to see improve... but hide it from those you want to beat.

Summary: Confessions of a Golf Nut
Review: I'm only on page 165, but let me tell you, this is a great book. It has very good balance of detailed instruction and easy-to-understand examples (i.e. drills) which keeps it from being too much overwhelming information. It's technical because it has to be but written in such a way as not to be technical to the point of being confusing. Anyways, if you can say a golf book is written "eloquently", this one is. Each time I read a section of the book I can't wait to get out there and try what I just read and then I can't wait to read more. In other words, it's very motivating, also. It's not just another plain ho-hum boring instructional golf book. Golf's Critical Details is actually fun to read. If you read this book, you will understand what the golf swing is all about, and if you do the drills, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much better you'll strike the ball.

Summary: Confessions of a Golf Nut
Review: Many of us look forever for the "perfect golf book" the "critical golf lesson" and never find it. One message rings true in Hibbards work; don't get too technical - then he gets too technical. My advice, the advice of a confessed golf nut, practice your short game, see a PGA pro, and quit trying to find success in all the wrong places. If you add George's book to your library, realize it for what it is, one more resource, to be taken lightly. Example: Met with a PGA pro today (I am about a 9-11) and he said two things in 45 minutes. They made sense, are easy to practice, and helped. This is not the Critical Details philosophy. Trust me.
