Dave Stockton

"The Pro Tours' Hottest Coach" (Golf Digest) reveals the secrets that helped Phil Mickelson win the 2010 Masters and can utterly transform every player's game. When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game. Stockton's breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap. In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stockton's lessons have helped today's leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making.

In Swing Tips You Should Forget, you'll learn how eight "classic" pieces of golf instruction you've heard over the years-like keeping your head down or creating more lag-are actually hurting your game, not helping it. Backed by years of scientific research and thousands of hours of real-world lessons, Michael Jacobs and Shaun Webb-two of the game's cutting edge teachers-will show you how to replace old-fashioned advice like freezing your wrists and taking your arms out of the swing with modern, dynamic guidance based on sound biomechanical science and proven on the PGA Tour. The images in the book come from the GEARS system-the Golf Evaluation and Research System, which is a combination of powerful software, eight high-speed cameras and motion-capture suit fitted with 26 markers. The system, which was developed for the aerospace industry, tracks the body and club and analyzes the data from more than 600 images per swing, and is accurate within 0.2 millimeters. Used in conjunction with force plates on the ground, it measures exactly what the body and club do during the swing. In this book, you're seeing the lesson of the future, today. A handful of the very best players in the world are using this system to get an edge in their training. It takes the guesswork and estimates out and replaces them with facts. With this guide from Michael Jacobs and Shaun Webb, you'll see the same benefits. You'll get better faster. Get ready to change how you think about golf instruction. "In Swing Tips You Should Forget, Mike and Shaun will use cutting-edge research and technology to actually simplify how you approach your own game. Instead of trying to focus on dozens of different tips that may or may not apply to you-and might even be obsolete-you're getting a clear guide to making an efficient, modern swing. This kind of teaching is the future of our game, both on the Tour and for the regular player." -David Toms, winner of multiple PGA Tour events and the 2001 PGA Championship
