The A Swing Book Review

The A Swing from David Leadbetter one of the world's leading golf instructor, is a fun instructional book geared towards those wanting to find an alternative to all those complicated golf swings. The A Swing stands for alternative - a simple way to swing the club.

I found the book a great read well written easy to read and comprehend and the the illustrations were great. All aspects were easy to understand and digest. Once finished the book it was easy to go back to each chapter and reread and look at the what fine points Leadbetter is trying to get across with the A Swing.

 Easy to understand illustrations of the A Swing

A book that beginners should read but also is great for those just wanting to improve in certain areas. You can take as much as you want from the book, as Leadbetter mentions you don't have to take 100% of  the A Swing. What ever you feel comfortable with, it is not an exact method. It can be tailored to the individual golfer.

Highlights of the book:

• Easy to follow step-by-step approach
•  200 illustrations, '
• Easy drills 
• 7-Minute Practice Plan

The A Swing is a way to develop a consistent, repetitive motion which will improve accuracy and distance, and is easy on the body.

The A Swing has been thoroughly tested with a wide range of players, from tour level to beginner, junior to senior so why not give it a read I believe most people will only take away positives.

The book can be bought at most online book stores at a variety of prices, plus on iTunes.

His tour players, whom he has coached over the years, have amassed 19 major golf championships. David has been prolific during his 30+ year career in producing books, videos, teaching aids that have inspired golfers of every level to reach their potential.

myCharge RazorMax Review - A Must Have Power Mulligan

When I first took the RazorMax from myCharge out of it's plastic case I had just returned from a 24 day trip with the family to Spain, France and Belgium. At first glance it's the same size of my old iPhone 4s. Pretty plain looking with not a lot of bells and whistles. Little did I know from that day forward I pretty much don't go anywhere without my RazorMax.

The main reason; the RazorMax just flat out works beautifully. I have an older iPhone and the battery basically sucks and dies quickly. With the RazorMax I have no worries. Here's the specs on the RazorMax:

RazorMax:
Rechargeable 6000mAh battery

Crafted from anodized aluminum, the 6000mAh RazorMax delivers an extra 27 hours talk time for your smartphone. This powerbank comes equipped with 2 USB ports and is perfect for charging two devices at once. With a 2.4A output, the RazorMax portable charger is great for charging tablets and other power thirsty devices.

Battery Capacity: 6000mAh
Recharges Via: micro-USB cable
Compatibility: Tablets, Smartphones & USB Devices

Out on the golf course if I'm doing a course review that I have to take lots of pictures and videos or if I'm using a GoPro. The Razor Max is up to the task. With my iPhone plugged into my RazorMax there are no worries that my battery will run out. The anodized aluminum case stands up to walking or if your taking a cart.

When golfing if I'm using a GPS they tend to gobble your phone's battery. With the RazorMax you don't have to worry. With a fully charged RazorMax I never had a problem with my phone's battery and my GPS dying. The RazorMax delivers an extra 27 hours talk time for your smartphone.

When I'm delivering the mail (my full-time job) I always make sure my phone is plugged into my RazorMax. It gives me that confidence that I know I'll always have a charged battery for my phone.

The RazorMax retails for $69.99 very reasonable considering I can't live without it.
