A negotiable golf swing is a compatible arrangement of the many permissible alternatives that, while not conforming to the computer models of the perfect golf swing, can still function very well to get the job done. By identifying and organizing these negotiable swing components, The Negotiable Golf Swing will show you how you can use basic swing components and their permissible permutations to negotiate a better game of golf.
In other words, you can learn how to play a better game of golf with a lot of what you're already bringing to the table. Few swings need a complete overhaul, a total retooling from setup to finish position. It's more likely that you, like thousands of erstwhile golfers, just need to learn what's negotiable with the golf swing and what's not. The Negotiable Golf Swing covers the nonnegotiable as well, that is, all those immutable laws of ball flight, which are determined as the clubhead moves through the impact area making contact with the ball.

The Negotiable Golf Swing will provide you with an understanding of how basic human skills are learned and how to apply them to your game, how to grasp and meld the negotiable with the nonnegotiable, which will help you build an effective golf swing, and ultimately, improve your game. This eye-opening tutorial will empower golfers from beginners to seasoned to single-digit handicap players.

Many swing gurus try to convince golfers that they must have perfect form - even a model swing - in order to play better. This is simply not true, and in The Negotiable Golf Swing you won't find any "one size fits all." Rather you will learn not only how a negotiable golf swing can work for you, but also why it's the best and fastest route to success.

From the Back Cover
"Respected cognitive-science research into the nature of learning anything, even golf, has shown that a teaching, fixing, get-it-right approach to progress is less effective than a learning, developing approach. This reality is at the core of Joe Laurentino's approach to golf instruction and The Negotiable Golf Swing, which suggests that golfers stop spending time fixing their golf and start investing time learning to play and learn golf in their own unique way. This can improve a golfer's learning potential, which then improves performance. Joe Laurentino's love of the game of golf and passion for helping golfers can be felt on every page of The Negotiable Golf Swing."

"I have known Joe Laurentino for over 30 years. We grew up at the same public golf course. We both love this game. His passion for his craft shows through in this wonderful book, in which he's clearly done his homework. If you're interested in clear, concise and fundamentally sound information that will in fact make you a better player, The Negotiable Golf Swing is the read for you."

"Read this book, it will help you understand what the clubface is doing while in motion, what's important in hitting a golf ball, and why the golf ball flies the way it does. The explanation in The Negotiable Golf Swing of the movement of the right arm and right shoulder in the downswing is the best I've ever read."
