“If you’ve ever stood in the tee box with your driver, and wished you were invisible, I can tell you that I wrote this book for you,” Tom Wishon said. “Golf can be a humbling game and the driver is a difficult club to hit much less master. But much of that embarrassment can be traced to drivers that are designed from the factory to be un-hittable in the hands of the average golfer.

This author is “The Man” when it comes to explaining what is the “steak and what is the sizzle” when determining what to look for in a driver..Easy to understand and the last chapters will assist most with respective swing characteristics/flaws and how certain club specs may help. Will assist most players with their other clubs although his other book,”Search for the Perfect Golf Club” is more specific for the clubs other than the “big stick”..Must read for club techies..

You go see a qualified club maker. That is the message being conveyed by the author. So even after reading the book, I don’t feel that I’m in total control of making the purchase selection of my driver since the author suggests that having the driver custom-built by the very selct few club maker in the country is the only sure way to go.
While there are some good explanations on the anatomy of the club and how they affect the swing, I didn’t find any particularly revealing information. In fact, most of them are rather common knowledge that can readily be found online and in golf publications. It probably could have been written in one or two chapters. In essence, the book recommends that you get high lofted club head with shorter-length shaft.

I thoroughly enjoyed Search for the Perfect Driver. I particularly liked the “myth busting” regarding that modern drivers performed better or got more distance when the ball struck the clubface toward the top rather than the center. The fact was/is that while one lost distance due to the ball not striking the center of the clubface, one gained distance because the loft where the ball impacted the clubface was more in line with what the golfer needed. The book is filled with such wisdom and information and should be a part of any serious golfer’s library.
