  Pandering to the obsessive golfer who is always looking for a way to gain that little bit extra, this book also provides a source of information and understanding that helps to cut through the sales hype when deciding on which new equipment to buy. It explains the technology and scientific principle behind golfing equipment, with a view to improving understanding of the way the game should be played. The book's topics include how a golfer should shop for new equipment; whether wood, metal or the latest high-tech material is best for clubs; flexibility and kick-points of shafts; varying grips for varying clubs; construction and characteristics of golf balls; and what to look for in shoes, gloves and swing-trainers. The author, one of Australia's greatest players, won both the US Open and the US PGA titles. Since his retirement he has been heavily involved in the design of golf clubs.
