It worked for me! 295yd drive!
At 63 years old, I noticed a big drop in clubhead speed and distance from the last few years. The last time I hit a 300 yd drive was 4 years ago. My average driving distance dropped from 250-260 in 2019 to 220-230 in 2022. I bought this book in March and although I haven't kept up with the recommended 3 times a week, it has made me feel stronger, more flexible and better balanced over the ball. My driving distance in July is now back to 2019 levels and I hit a drive 298 yds the other day. Perfectly flat fairway, rain overnight and that morning, no wind, no cart path help, just a great drive. I am now disappointed anytime I don't drive it at least 250. Thanks Joey D! My only negative, is i think it would be helpful to have the page number for each exercise on the workout lists for reference.

Golfer workouts that make sense
This book offers very clear text descriptions of an extensive set of exercises for golfers. It includes an assessment, similar to what Titleist Performance Institute certified trainers offer. It includes a basic set of 12 essential exercises as well an additional 20 or so that are targeted to specific weaknesses or range of motion limitations identified by doing the easy 6 part assessment. (easy to complete, not easy to do well)Reviews that complained about black and white photos almost kept me from getting this book on my Kindle, but with the exception of one exercise photo set, I found it to be complete and quite clear as to the expected movements. The author writes in a clear and engaging style which made it more interesting to complete the book (exercise descriptions are difficult to make interesting). In addition, he explained WHY some swing flaws occur from a range of motion and strength perspective. I found this content very, very helpful. I highly recommend this book.

Useful material for golfers, photos hard to see and amateurish
To the point , well written , easy to read , organized , great and useful content . Photos are poor quality, hard to see. Looks like an amateur took them . on top of that , cheaply printed. I only gave 4 star rating because the photos are needed to explain the exercises. Other than that , The material is great .

Updated to 5 stars.
Updated to 5 stars: I messaged Joey D on FB and asked about reps and sets. They got back to me and let me know it is on page 196 in the edition Amazon is selling. It's on one page in the whole book but I guess their logic is that it is just a recommendation and eventually you'll be customizing the workout to your own needs.Original Review: This is an awesome book for showing you your weaknesses and the exercises you should do to strengthen those weaknesses, but sadly it doesn't tell you how many rep/ set of each exercise to do. So you get the list of exercises for your weakness but no rep/ set numbers about how many times you should do it. Having played college football and lifted heavily in my past, I think the missing info is some of the most important. To have absolutely no guidence in this regard makes the book nearly unusable.

I'm hopeful and get the logic of this instruction
updated- my game is improving as is my fitness. When you get to really understand what is being trained, I realize that doing the movements is a form of golf training in itself. I can hit 50 to 100 balls every day with little fatigue and I'm mid-50's. With most driving ranges closed, I do a light version of one of the workouts before I get to the course to get me loose.When you buy something like this I see only two ways to judge it. 1- are you doing it and 2- does it help. The book is clear enough in most places that I can do the moves. Note that I'm a lifelong weight lifter turned golfer in mid-life so exercise instruction I understand.This is not a general fitness or bulk up book. This is work to improve muscles involved in the golf swing. I will note right away that I think this book has helped with some back pain I've had on and off for 20 years already.Does it help my golf game? Well it is July 2018, the reality is I will find out in March 2019 when the season starts. Like any conditioning program this is not a get rich quick scheme. I've seen enough positive about the authors ideas though that I don't see any risk or downside to working on this over the fall and winter. I continue to lift normal weights 2 days a week in addition to this program.

The problem is me…
I began noticing I just wasn’t getting the distance I once was capable of. I bought new clubs, specially fitted for me, and while my performance got better, I still wasn’t satisfied. I knew as I got older my body wasn’t working as well as when I was younger. So, I decided to investigate ways get back my youthful performance. I realized from taking the assessments for different areas of my body and the effects on my swing, I need to change me. I have taken steps to improve my golf experience seriously and feel great about starting to see results. I feel this book could help anyone, any age, any body shape enjoy playing golf more.

Golf swing
Clear and to the point. It takes practice to a different level. Easy to understand. It takes practice without hitting golf ball

Heavy on the waffle, light on content
A really basic book, rife with trivial nonsense and 'motivational' waffle. 'Revolutionary' it is absolutely not. 'Biomechanics' is a nice marketing word, but apart from the front page there is no relevant content. The physiological and neurological aspects of golf fitness are also missing. The first 70 pages can be skipped, as there is nothing there of use. Poor illustrative photos are barely visible; basically a dude taking photos of his buddies doing the exercises in random gyms. The lack of explanation and detail would most likely cause injury more than anything. If you've done a cursory search of youtube for 'golf fitness,' you already know more than what's in this book, and could probably do the exercises more safely. Not happy to have wasted a chunk of money.

Scientific approach to better your game
Amazing information to let you know how to improve your game from a body shape perspective. Fitness plays a very important role in how you play and how to improve. If you're looking into what exercises you should do to play better golf, this is it. I'm a man in his low fifties and although I'm in shape somewhat, I did also start to loose flexibility and get occasional pain or limited movements due to tightness from age and sedentary life.

Y’a plus qu’a
Le livre est bien fait, les tests sont terriblement révélateurs ( malheureusement) et le remède ne semble pas impossible à atteindre même pour quelqu’un assez âgé et manquant de souplesse. Après c’est peut être le courage qui manque mais cela ne dépend ni du livre ni de ses auteurs mais de nous. Je ne vous souhaite pas bonne chance mais bon courage
