Some reader reviews:

Clear, Succinct and Informative

This is an excellent book that is clear, succinct, and informative. The book simplifies the putting process, and has a superb summary chapter that distills the key ideas. I was immediately able to apply many of the ideas. One of the authors has a distinguished history. Before opening his own company, Frankly Golf, he invented graphite golf shafts, and was the technical director at USGA. If you go the website for Frankly Golf, you can discover much more and also learn about the putter Frank Thomas created, the Frankly Frog (Im not kidding here), which is now in my bag.
