Drawing on a lifetime of playing and teaching the game of golf, David Leadbetter has developed the unique ability to translate very difficult swing concepts and golf fundamentals into easy-to-understand language that all levels of golfers can learn and benefit from. David Leadbetter's 100% Golf is the defining point of a lifetime's theories, teachings, tips, and drills. It covers every aspect of the swing and game in general, in the smallest detail, and is free of the excessive technical jargon associated with most instructional books. From alignment, ball position, and driving to fitness, mental toughness, and problem lies, this book contains everything the practicing golfer will ever need to know. David Leadbetter has been involved in the golf community for more than thirty years. He continues to teach the art of golf through his bestselling books and videos. Now, for the first time, he compresses all the knowledge he has gathered over the years and presents it in this one volume. Leadbetter, who came to world prominence in the late 1980s after he helped Nick Faldo dismantle and then rebuild his swing, has taught many of today's PGA Tour leaders and earned himself an unrivaled reputation as the man to remedy a troubled golf swing. In 1999 Golf Digest voted him the best coach of all time; few would argue.…

Chapter One
First Things First ...
A good grip is the inspiration behind a good swing,
and enables you to hit consistently straight
and solid shots
'Good golf begins with a good grip.' No less a figure than Ben Hogan declared that to the world at the height of his career, and, as in so many things, he was absolutely right. Your ability to get the clubhead swinging with any real momentum - and so create the clubhead speed that is necessary to hit solid shots - is really at the mercy of your grip. This coupling between you and the club must allow the hands to work together for the benefit of the swing, and compliment the motion of the wrists and arms and that of the body generally.
In other words, if a good swing synchronizes the swinging of the arms with the turning motion of your body, the grip is the vital go-between that passes on (and indeed enhances) that momentum via the shaft to the clubhead. It brings a swing to life.
Another pertinent lesson at this early stage is that the distance you are able to hit the ball is not all about physique and brute strength (though let there be no doubt that improving your levels of strength and flexibility will help your golf). It's the quality of the swing and the timing that lies within it that determines your ability to maximise your clubhead speed through impact and make solid contact - and again that boils down to the way the hands work together on the club ...
