THE A SWING: The Alternative Approach to Great Golf (St. Martin's Press, On Sale May 12, 2015, $27.99) is Leadbetter's first instruction book for 10 years, and he says:

THE A SWING – "A" standing for "Alternative" – is based on solid, scientific principles and has been studied by one of the world's leading biomechanists, J.J Rivet, who says that in his testing of students of varying abilities, he has never seen such consistent results and improvement in accuracy and distance. THE A SWING is simple to teach and easy to learn, and fixes most of golf's common faults. In conjunction with a 7-minute practice plan, THE A SWING enables a golfer to reach their potential in minimal time. The genius of THE A SWING is in its simplicity with over 200 helpful illustrations, Frequently Asked Questions sections, easy summaries and a line of specially designed training aids – the book is a complete toolbox for self-improvement. Any player frustrated with their game or not satisfied with their progress needs to try THE A SWING.

"This is an extension and evolution of my philosophy over the years," says Leadbetter, "and is the result of the time I've spent teaching the world's greats, and recreational golfers alike. The A Swing, like hickory to steel and persimmon to metal heads, is a revolutionary advance in golf instruction. My goal has always been to help golfers improve and enjoy the great game of golf and realize their potential," says Leadbetter.

For the past 30 years, David Leadbetter has been considered the world's leading golf instructor, whose students have won hundreds of professional tournaments, including 19 major championships. He has numerous golf academies around the world and many of today's leading instructors graduated through the Leadbetter Academy system.

THE A SWING will allow the golfer to find their "A" game and is set to turn the golf instruction world upside-down.

"The A Swing I have worked on with David is so easy to do and repeat, and when it goes off I have a clear picture of what to do to get back on track." - Alexander Levy (France), Two-time European Tour Winner

"A simple and easy way to understand and practice the Golf Swing. I wish we had figured this out years ago. The "A Swing" could change the way the Swing is taught. Anyone can do this." - Denis Watson, 11 Time tournament winner Including the World Series of Golf 1984 and the Senior PGA championship at Kiawah Island 2007 

"I have been a passionate, competitive senior golfer for many years, winning tournaments all over the world. When David introduced me to the A Swing with a few tournaments to go to reach the 200 mark, it made all the difference. It is so understandable and answered all my questions. My consistency has improved immensely and it makes practicing more productive. The A Swing has given me a new lease on life and I know I can still improve and hopefully win many more tournaments." - Arlene Mckitrick, senior lady golfer, winner of over 200 tournaments

"I know it sounds crazy to say, but with The A Swing I am honestly at times hitting the ball at least FIFTY yards longer and straighter. FIFTY yards, no exaggeration, my caddie is my witness. He knows my game, and he says, if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it! The secret that the A Swing has revealed is synchronization, which is the key to consistency repeatability, power and accuracy! The A Swing has answered so many questions for me and I now have an exact road map to playing great golf. - Greg Kraft, PGA Tour winner - about to embark on the PGA Champions Tour 

"There is a wonderful simplicity and logic to the A Swing which produced instant results in my game, making range time meaningful and, gave my confidence a huge boost on the course in competition. One of the keys to playing better golf is 'trusting your swing', entertaining no self doubt and with a firm conviction that it will work as required especially under pressure. The A Swing does what it says on the tin!  The scientifically proven biomechanical advantage of this swing speaks for itself, and I can say without doubt it has made the single greatest positive on my game in 40 years." - Robin Sieger, Peak Performance Coach, and Author of the best selling Silent Mind Golf
