About the authors
JOE DANTE is one of America’s best-known teaching professionals. Like his father, the late James J. Dante, co-author of The Nine Bad Shots of Golf, Joe has concentrated on the teaching side of the game. The hours he spends each season on the tee and giving playing lessons will match those of any club pro in America. The esteem in which his Rockaway River Country Club members hold him is attested to by the annual “day” given him—known as “Dante’s Inferno.” He has been so plied with gifts at these affairs that, on occasion, he has had to hire a truck to take them home. Dante is married and is the father of two boys. He was recently elected president of the New Jersey Professional Golfers’ Association.
LEN ELLIOTT, sports editor of the Newark News since 1939, has studied and written extensively about both the technique and mechanics of the golf swing. As a senior golfer he has been a serious contender in both the New Jersey and New York Metropolitan championships, and in three attempts has thrice qualified sectionally in the USGA national senior championship. With Joe Dante he wrote Stop That Slice; with Jim Dante and Leo Diegel The Nine Bad Shots of Golf.

This Book Is My Holy Grail,
I have played golf for 45 years and my lowest handicap was 5.I have read and reread every single instructional book,including Hogan,Leadbetter,Ballard,Nicklaus,as well as The Golfing Machine
and The Search For The Perfect Golf Swing.My library has more golf books than I have had bogeys.I have also been to McLeans School at Doral three times.All said,I consider all of the above a complete waste of my time. Dante’s clear and precise and simple explanation of how the golf swing works from a physical as well as a theoretical point of view,including the explanation of the Coefficient of Angular Momentum,has given me
a new life on the golf course.
My ball striking is pure,my confidence is high,and my mind is no longer paralyzed by hundreds of worthless swing thoughts.
I have zero interest in any more lessons from any pro,do not read golf magazines anymore,and scoff at the latest theories
which are created just to sell more books.
I cannot wait to get to the course just to hit balls and ingrain the four moves which,essentially,promotes a flat left wrist,a firm left side,a stable body over the ball,and most importantly,starting the downswing with your hips while completely leaving your arms and hands and shoulders behind.
The ball flight is absolutely the best I have ever witnessed with the least amount of effort. I am hitting each club at least one club longer with a lot less effort.
Finally,when a shot goes astray,you get instant feeedback as to the reason and you can fix it on the next shot.
If I swear by this book,it is because it has brought new life to my golf game and I finally have the tools to get down to a scratch golfer within a very short period of time.

|Dante’s “Magic” is teaching new tricks to old dogs.,
I went from a 3 handicap in high school to what G.P.Wodehouse describes as a “goof”. When I couldn’t play every day my game went to pot. I had never developed a solid swing that I could repeat time after time, I was clueless. I am now 41 years old and this book changed my life. Well, my golf life at least. I love the game again. Joe Dante teaches the “magic moves” in a way even I can understand and I’m a hardheaded old dog to whom new tricks are hard to teach.
The key to golf is delivering the club head to the ball square to the target (accuracy) while generating maximum club head speed (distance). Dante’s early wrist break method is the key to consistent accuracy. His lateral hip shift is no secret to golf but it is the key to clubhead speed. The magic is that Dante teaches these moves in such a clear and concise way that, if you follow directions and practice his method, you will improve your golf swing and scores!

|Best Of The Best,
I don’t usually (how about never!!) write book reviews; however, this is one book I feel like deserves my input. Being a golf book junkie, I feel like I am qualified to put in my two cents. For what it may be worth, this book, in my opinion, is the absolute best book that has ever been written in regard to helping golfers achieve success. Yes, there are other books that can technically explain various positions, etc, but this book by Dante gives you practical and easily understood instructions on improving/understanding the golf swing. Simply put, this book is the ONLY book I could unequivocally give a 5-star rating.
