Hank Haney is one of the most well-respected and sought-after golf
instructors in the world today. He is famous for rebuilding the
swing of the world's #1 player, who has gone on to win six more
Majors and counting. Haney has also worked with hundreds of top
pros, including Masters and British Open champion Mark O'Meara, who
attributes the durability and dependability of his swing to Haney
and says that "Hank knows more about ball flight and what controls
it than anyone in the game." In this book, Haney goes beyond tips
and quick fixes to lay out the principles behind the perfect swing.
Point by point, chapters cover every aspect of the swing, from grip
to contact to ball flight, with 160 illustrations to help players
understand the concepts and check their form. Putting Haney's
approach into practice enables players to make the powerful,
repeating swing that can hit every kind and shape of shot--with
every club in the bag--with equal ease on a consistent basis. A
master work from a master instructor, Essentials of the Swing will
be essential reading for any golfer who is looking to reach the
height of his or her game. Hank Haney (Westlake, TX) is #3 on Golf
Digest's list of America's 50 greatest golf teachers. He's the
Director of Instruction at the Hank Haney International Junior Golf
Academy and the founder of Hank Haney Golf, Inc., which operates
golf programs nationwide. He's the author of three previous books:

Bad Shots (978-1-892129-97-0), and Fix the Yips Forever
(978-1-59240-236-6).
The professional relationship between Hank Haney and Tiger Woods
began in March 2004, when the multiple major winner asked Haney to
be his coach. 'The Big Miss' is Haney's candid and unsurprisingly
insightful account of his tumultuous six-year journey with one of
the world's greatest sportsmen.
In March 2004, Hank Haney received a call from Tiger Woods in which
the golf champion asked Haney to be his coach. It was a call that
would change both men’s lives. Tiger – only 28 at the time –
was by then already an icon, judged by the sporting press as not
only one of the best golfers ever, but possibly the best athlete
ever. But Tiger was always looking to improve, and he wanted
Hank’s help. Over the next six years of working together, the
supremely gifted Woods collected six major championships and
rewrote golf history. Hank was one of the very few people allowed
behind the curtain. Always haunting Tiger was his fear of ‘the
big miss’ – the wildly inaccurate golf shot that can ruin an
otherwise solid round – and it was because that type of blunder
was sometimes part of Tiger’s game that Hank carefully redesigned
his swing mechanics. Towards the end of their time together, the
champion’s laser-like focus began to blur and he became less
willing to put in punishing hours practicing. Hints that Tiger
hungered to reinvent himself were present in his bizarre
infatuation with elite military training, and – in a development
Hank didn’t see coming – in the scandal that would make
headlines in late 2009. It all added up to a big miss that Hank,
try as he might, couldn’t save Tiger from. There’s never been a
book about Tiger Woods that is as intimate and revealing – or one
so wise about what it takes to coach a superstar athlete.
