Ernest Jones' Swing The Clubhead method

Follow this books instruction and save money and frustration! Ernest Jones is the greatest golf genius who ever lived! All his instructions are spot on. Forget all the other coaching and instructional Bull Crap out there. His books are all you’ll need. I’m 60 years old and this is my first year golfing regularly (4 nine hole rounds previously in my whole life) I’m Breaking 100 consistently and have shot a few rounds below 90. Golf is fun, enjoyable, and my swing is fluid and natural thanks to Mr Jones. Read and Enjoy along with his other book; The Golf Swing.

I am blown away by the simple and yet incredible teaching this book has to offer. Who knew that golf shouldn’t be as hard as I seem to have made it. I can see “Why” the PGA would not have endorse this method so long ago. Golf teachers and their industry and all the quick fix artists would have lost millions. If you are serious about the game we all love, get this book you won’t regret it. He’s an English gentleman with a gift of an unbelievable knack for very intelligent explanations. Remember, just swing!

I started playing golf in 1973 and would shoot in the low to mid 50's for nine holes. In 2023 I was still shooting in the low to mid 50's. I never took a lesson, but had read multiple books and I changed my swing multiple times, and I could not get out of this range. In maybe 600 rounds of nine over those years I shot less than 50 around ten times and only had a handful of rounds where I didn't get an eight or higher on a hole. I was stuck at this mediocre level until reading this book over the winter and doing the simple swing drill in the book and in my first time out this year I shot a 48. I have now played twelve times with scores ranging from 44 to 50. It's unreal. I don't get 8's anymore and scoring in the 40's is like second nature now. What changed is this book taught me to swing through the ball, not hit at the ball. I learned that the arms must passively follow the lower body at the start of the downswing and any attempt to increase speed with with the arms and hands in an attempt to swing harder will ruin a true swing and leads to inconsistency. The golf swing really is simpler than its made out to be and this book will explain the reason for that. It did for me. Ten sub 50 rounds out of 600 over fifty years and suddenly I do that eleven out of twelve times. That can't be a fluke. I also want to give a shout-out to the 'Manuel de la Torre Golf Clinic - 1987 - The Swing Concept' video and his other video's on Youtube. He was influenced by Ernest Jones and his video's also helped me to learn how to swing the clubhead.

Good book on an old swing. The book conveys the method well and is interesting.

"Read 'Swing the Clubhead' by Ernest Jones and that's all you need to know about the golf swing." These words from Mark Greenslit, Director of Golf at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, sent me to amazon.com to find the book. And a small, tidy little book it is, and well worth the short time it takes to read it, and its low price, which is cheaper than a hamburger and a beer. Jones simplifies the golf swing to its basic essentials. His focus is to swing and feel, rather than the more popular method of breaking down the swing into its mechanical parts. Further, I particularly like his teaching philosophy of concentrating on what you did right rather than what you did wrong. His perspective is old-school. He played during the early 20th century and refers to and quotes the legendary Bobby Jones, who certainly demonstrated how to swing a club. This stuff is precious, and even if its not all you need to know, the golf wisdom here is right on. The direction is so simple that I intend to read it again to maybe fully understand it.

This very short and easy to read book is a positive contrast to modern technical advice and a nice addition to your golf education tools. It focuses on trusting your swing rather than heavy technical details. It's really about finding your body's rhythm to swing naturally - letting go of all the mental technicalities that run through your head and just focusing on swinging the club. It's a fresh perspective ... 63 years later! PS If nothing else, you'll be entertained by the photos from 60 years ago!

This is a great book which simplifies the golf swing. I'm a high handicap golfer and this is helping me to think less and swing more freely. The key basics taught in this book are timeless and can help anyone improve their game. I definitely recommend this as a step in your journey to understand and enjoy better golf.

After reading about the author and being inspired by the fact that he played golf on one leg after losing it in world war, I, I did some research on his swing philosophy. I've noticed that several modern-day golf instructors use the swing to club method. I was anxious to read the book. However, the author spends most of the time justifying why he believes in this process. I feel it is far too technical in his explanations. I have been very disappointed as I have not taken very much from the book. I recommend watching. Mike Bender golf instruction videos instead of buying this book.

Good instruction. Enjoyable read. It works well with Positive Impact Golf by Brian Sparks.

Very good book! Essential Information!

a si, a simple and easy to understand approach to playing golf . a must read for beginners and established players.

Old school golf swing which relates to a more natural swing which can be retain even in your twilight years. As apposed the modern swing that needs a more flexible frame. Great book to read written by a golfer who went onto play golf with a leg missing. Which he lost during 1st world war.

Excellent book. I have played golf all my life and played off scratch at one point. I was struggling with my game and came across this book after listening to the On The Mark podcast by Mark Immelman. This so different to modern teaching and means you create incredible club head speed and the centrifugal force keeps the club head on plane. In fact, the faster you swing the straighter it goes. Works for short chips too. I used it this weekend to get my first ever hole in one. 216 yd’s into the wind with a 3 iron. Never left the flag. Try this method. You will be surprised and also it requires much less effort so you will not be so tired after playing a round.
