Tour Tempo- Golf-s Last Secret Finally Revealed

1 stars (What a Crock) - Absolutely the worst. 2/3 of the "MINI SIZE BOOK" is devoted to the subject that no one teaches TEMPO. No kidding. The other third is back to basics with the triangle take away of hands arms and shoulder-- TEMPO? and then a CD that makes you swing as if you were on speed with beep, beep, beep, sounds. What a waste of money. 5 stars (Tour Tempo helped my game) - It is well researched and easy to grasp the concept. I downloaded the CD (comes with the book) to my iPod and took it to the range, and listened in the car on the way. The tempo feels fast on the backswing, but I believe that is the key. Less time spent on the backswing forces me to take the club back on plane with less extraneous hip/knee/elbow/wrist movement. e.g. Less to go wrong. I am a 16 handicap. I normally hit my 7 iron about 155 yards, but today I hit my 7 iron 175 yards, over the back of the green. It took me a few holes to dial in my yardages, but by the end of the round I had it going and was 1 over for the final 6 holes. Are you ready to strike the ball more consistently and get yardages like what we see from the PGA pros?? Then buy Tour Tempo, it is the real deal. 5 stars (This is a univeral truth) - The "tempo" is real. Hundreds of touring pros have been measured, "timed", and they are all one of three to four swing tempos...we're talking parts of seconds here. Almost all amateurs swing too slow...learn the "tour tempo" that fits you and you will hit the ball longer and straighter and more constently....PERIOD. ...

Going Long- Training for Ironman-Distance Triathlons The Ultrafit Multisport Training Series

3 stars (A little confused) - First of all let me say that this is about the best ironman training book out there. However, there are several severe flaws. First, the authors are confused about their audience. It is never clear when they are talking to novices and when they are addressing elites. They float around willy-nilly first addressing one then the other. Warnings are given to beginners right in the middle of long spiels obviously addressed only to pros. I believe this book is probably meant for novice to intermmediate triatheletes. But the authors are inconsistent in their approach to this. Second, most of the equipment information is very shallow but nevertheless useful to novices. However, once again the intended audience is unclear. Thirdly, the training bricks, many workout, and much of the advice are clearly geared to triatheletes who are very advanced. Any first-timer is going to overtrain and many advanced atheletes will as well if they utilize some of these workouts. They authors recommend no more than two breakthough workouts per week!! Is anybody else reading this? So once again the audience is unclear. If the authors are going to address novices then they need to do so in a consistent way throughout the book. The same with elites and intermmediates etc. Despite these flaws I managed to extract a great deal of useful information from this book and will continue to use it. 5 stars (best triathlon book) - This is the best book on triathlon that I have read. I am training for an ironman and I refer to the book almost every day. Also, I used tips and workouts from the book for a 1/2 ironman last year and improved my time from by 2 hours. 5 stars (Very useful ironman survival tips) - First of all, Going Long is not a rehash of Triathlete's Training Bible. TTB gives you everything you need to prepare yourself physically to get to the starting line. Going Long gives you what you need to get to the finish line. The book addresses psych...
