  i've gotten a lot of good stuff from the pelz books.
  some of my favorites:
  the fact that even with a True Roller, only about 50% of putts from 12 feet went in
  that lee trevino was the most accurate ballstriker he ever measured
  the mega-importance of short game on score
  that putter face angle is much more important than path
  there's some not-so-good stuff as well, but hey, nobody's perfect. nor should they be expected to be.

  i still think they are fantastic. ten years on you can still build a short game around them.

  I read the short game bible for the first time last year and I had some great results with it. As much as Pelz annoys at times,( 'its made from this special steel') he does know what he is talking about IMO. I actually am looking for my copy to give it a skim through before the season begins. Last time I knew where it was my son had it. So I am sure i will find either that or the Holy Grail at some point.

  In all honesty, I have always found the science a bit weak and the academic community does have problems with his work, particularly around how the ball interacts with the hole. One of the more recent critiques is that the research was done in the 70s and actual greens have improved a lot since then. I don't see many lumpy donutes except during the winter, when the greens are wet and they don't change the pin placements often.
  So funny thing, I use Pelz's putting strategies on winter greens. I do think the majority of golfers would be better at putting if they adopted his strategies all year. However, if you are an excellent putter, the 17 inch does not a good universal. Each hole most be evaluated independently and pace range is somewhere between 5 inches to 4 feet.

  To build a little more on what dogsbe wrote there: I think that it is important to seek out as many different ideas as possible. I have read Pelz's books and I feel like I've learned something from them. I also have read Utley's books, and feel like I've learned something from them as well, even though in many ways, Pelz and Utley are almost complete opposites. Each work has strengths and weaknesses. So, again, I think that the best advice is to increase your knowledge as much as possible. Don't ever just take one person's article or book as sacrosanct and 'the only way to do it.' That is the great thing about the game of golf: that far more often than not, there are many ways to do it, and the challenge is finding your own personal best way.

  Anybody interested in taking these 2 books off my hands send me a PM.. I read & finished the putting bible and got thru 3/4 of the short game bible and it was JUST TOO MUCH information.. Got some great pointers out of both, but just have to get rid of some books from the shelves.. These 2 gotta go..

  Short Game Bible is an A+ effort in my view. It's a paradigm-shifting book that will open your eyes to how important that element of your game really is. Furthermore, Pelz gives you solid advice on basic techniques as well.
  The putting bible embraces a straight-back, straight-through stroke which most folks don't advocate. Furthermore, I believe the nit-picky, overly-analytical aspect of how it was put together makes it a dull read for those interested. I loved the Short Game Bible but yet had virtually no use for the putting bible which I was really exciting and happy to purchase given my contrary experience with the Short Game Bible. I would not recommend the Putting Bible on the basis that I'm not sure there's anything in Pelz' approach to putting that will make you better.
  The statistical analysis (an area Pelz has dedicated most of his golf career to) contained within both books is great but it's more practical in the short game approach as it WILL change how you think of the game. Plus the techniqes are universally solid whereas..in the Putting BIble, not so much.
  Putting is about practice and less about what can be summarized in a book--regardless of length or complexity.

  i've read both bibles and did get a LOT of good information from them.. one of the biggest things i got was practicing with feedback devices.. i did end up ordering the truth board and putting tutor.. also changed to left hand low.. now having said that.. the truth board and putting tutor don't know if you actually putt sbst or on an arc.. both make sure you get the ball started online.. which IMO is the most important thing with both
  edit - i've also ready utley, stockton, mickelson's short game books too.. among others

  I'm familar with Mickelson's approach and his work with the putting tutor which I think looks like a wonderful little tool.
  I think drills are great, I'm not sure I'd say physical tools are necessary but I understand how many players could embrace them. It's not like they are all created equal. I'm sure there's some good, some not so good.
  The impression I got from the Putting Bible is that based on the success of the Short Game Bible or maybe more simply inspired by the work Pelz wanted to take his analysis techniques with mass data to the max with working on the green. I think quite a large portion of that book is really more 'interesting' than applicable. There's certainly something to take away but I'd say that while the Short Game Bible was something that struck me as something every golfer should read, the Putting Bible was a bit of a let-down. For example, I think the overall length of the Putting Bible was surprising and actually quite telling of how it could be a bit more concise.
  I also have Pelz' Damage Control and while I was hoping for something intriguing I have to admit I didn't find anything useful other than the fact that it's a recognized problem. I felt the entire Damage Control book could be summed up simple ideas like 'if you're not confident in the shot, don't hit it' or 'learn to accept bogey.' I like the idea that golfers should become of aware of mistakes before they happen but again (as with the case in much of today's literature), what could've been expressed within a short essay was expressed in book form.

  I do get what you're saying about the bibles.. i admit they were a pretty tough read. and agree that putting was significantly more difficult than short game.. the 'more interesting than applicable' comment really hits the nail on the head too. with topics like the lumpy donut, wind, grain, unbalance balls.. etc. they are all interesting and things golfers should know. but they are more things to be aware of than something that can be calculated accurately..
  in hindsight. i think the short game hit home a little harder because after that i really worked on my wedge game that season and got very dialed in.. i do really like the clock method but i did end up making it my own and the 7:30 swing just never did stick with me.. as for putting. it was a bit of practice over the winter with the truth board that got me back on track and more importantly more confident on the short ones.. i also went through my rotation of putters (i was a bit of a headcase) and actually eliminated 2 very quickly because they didn't look square to me when i actually got the ball online.
  i have not even opened the cover to look at the index of damage control to be perfectly honest.. i've also read my fair share of mental game books and damage control didn't spark any interest with me..
