Secrets of the Short Game
$29.99
From 50 yards and in, no golfer in history has demonstrated more talent, flair, creativity, and precision?or generated more raw excitement?than Phil Mickelson. His ability with the sand wedge and putter are legendary not only with fans but also among his peers, and it is his skill with those clubs that is primarily responsible for his success: winning 36 tournaments on the PGA Tour (including three major championships) and representing the United States in seven Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup competitions. In his first-ever instruction book, Phil Mickelson explains in detail how to master every phase of the short game: putting, chipping, sand play, pitching, and his forte, the flop and lob shots. Mickelson maintains that any golfer of average ability can become a deadly short-game player by approaching the subject with a blend of science (proper mechanics and setup) and art (imagination and feel). Mickelson explains the how and why of his innovative technique, combining wisdom gleaned from hard experience with discoveries from his own fertile imagination. His advice is the product of 34 years of experimentation and trial and error by a talented athlete devoted to his sport. Illustrated with 200 original instructional photographs and filled with personal tips, tricks, and secrets, this book gives all golfers a personal lesson with Phil Mickelson.

Phil Mickelson- Secrets of the Short Game - DVD

I have bought and used a number of golf training DVDs and books in the past and have been able to get something positive out of all of them.

Phil's "Secrets of the Short Game" is by far the best. The lessons are short and clear with great video examples. Because he doesn't dwell on a hundred of the finer points the process and execution are very easy to commit to memory and use on the range or course.

After the first session at the range, about an hour and a half, I had pretty well gotten the technique down. When I went to the course I didn't trust it at first but then willed myself to do it just as I had on the practice range and accept the results.

What happened is that my short game improved dramatically right away. I was more accurate and learned to control the distance to a much finer degree.

After a month and a half I walk up to a shot of a 120 yards or less and confidently smack the ball right where I want it to go. My handicap has dropped two points to 11 and the trend is down.

Now I am working on variations of loft using a higher lofted clubs and by opening the club face. I have really started to know the effects in differing conditions such as deep rough, different sand compositions, and tighter lies. It is going to take some time before I get really good in all those conditions but I am working in that direction.

A very large benefit of Phil's technique is that it has greatly improved my tempo with all of my clubs. My confidense is higher and I believe my distance has improved as well.

By far, this is the best video lesson I have and I have Ledbetter, Smith, Harmon, and a couple of others. All have their positives but this one is the best.

On a side note, the DVD set is worth the price just to watch Phil hit those astounding shots he is capable of.

Hope this helps.
