The X-Factor Swing
For every golfer who wants to drive the ball farther down the fairway, the X-Factor will show them how.Jim McLean's phenomenal discovery of the secret to added distance has been the featured cover story of abestselling issue of Golf magazine, the subject of a bestselling video, X-Factor, and has been integral to the raging success of the Jim McLean Golf Schools across the country.Jim McLean's theory is that it isn't how much a golfer turns, but how much the shoulders turn in relation to the turn of the hips, that creates the power behind a swing. He introduced his theory to a sports specialist who tested it out on pros like John Daly using a Sportsense Swing Motion Trainer (SMT)-a high-tech swing analysis machine which revealed that the differential between the turn of the shoulders and the turn of the hips creates the torque and the power in the golfer's drive. With The X-Factor Swing, McLean will teach the average golfer how to drive the ball like the pros.

Good stuff on technique

I found this book to give interesting info on golf technique. The X-factor seems to make sense but it is a theory. I'm not sure if I totally believe in this theory. However, this book does offer some solid technique advice on how to play better and to hit the ball further. I also read recently "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better" by Patrick Leonardi. This book gives you all the necessary and concise information on how to become a scratch golfer. I know because I used it and it helped me shoot scores in the 70-75 range.
The best book I have read on the long game.

I have read several books on golf and the golf swing and this is the best describing the long game. If you want to know how to generate power in the swing, this is the book. Most golf instruction books, videos and television shows describe the golf swing as unusual, unnatural and not anything like other sports. Jim McLean shows how the golf swing is very similar to other sports and imitates common athletic moves. After I read this book I was able to put Jim's concept of the X-Factor to immediate use.
