Provides everything recreational players need to add big-time yards to their tee shots with swing moves and positions anyone can master, plus a few new ticks that add eye-popping speed almost overnight. In it readers will learn how to tweak their gear to get the most yards out of their motions, mechanics for building power without swinging harder, and the end-all, be-all method for matching their driver swing to what their body can muster so they can finally realize their true distance potential and split the fairway every time. Lessons in GOLF Magazine's The Best Driving Instruction Book Ever! Are complemented by 400+ full-color photos that make each tip easy to comprehend, practice and put into play, as well as a DVD to see the lessons come to life. Like the rest of the Best Instruction series, Driving is also backed by years of experience with the award-winning instruction readers can only find in GOLF Magazine.
