For every step, as he says, there are 5 to 6 "death moves" at the very least. I'm saying this beacuse thru the video, for every of his "8-steps" he emphasizes on certain "death moves" that you should not make.
If you want 50 (negative) swings thoughts running thru your mind at the time you are going to swing, this DVD is for you. Even though he (Jim) discloses that you should not have all these thoughts while you swing, he fails to know how the brain works processing information.
I'm just going to keep it short. Thus the child, every time he walks thru a kitchen he sees a stove and thinks about his hand burned into pieces.
You can't tell the brain "don't do that" without engraving the negative impulse. It's like telling a child don't get near the stove because it will toast your hand.
He even throws in a huge graphic of a "poison skull" that I can still see in my dreams. He indicates in detail and décor, that if you make any of these "death moves" at any stage of your swing you are, and I quote: "dead, history, done, toast, thru".Any modern teacher either of golf or grammar school knows that negativity is the lethal ingredient in any learning process.
This instruction is awesome. It will however help you to construct a solid, repeatable, consistent swing. You won't be able to watch this DVD and in 2 weeks you become a low handicapper. The only knocks are that it is not for someone too knew to golf. It still takes time, but it gives you great direction. There are no instructions on setup, grip, ball placement, knee bend and spine angle. I have been playing golf now for just about 2 years and is now scoring in the mid to low 80's because of this DVD. I was not able to digest all of the instruction at once, it has taken me months of watching this DVD time and time again, tweaking my swing steps after mastering each individual steps one by one.
It will not address the "FUNDAMENTALS" of golf. It will not address game play and decision making, or short game. But you will be able to see your swing become more consistent and reliable as you master each step. I suggest you learn "fundamentals" first from someone like Ben Hogan possibly then move to this.
The guide has created a new approach in golf for me. Every steps has been described in details. especially, i love all the "death moves" warning from Jim. The only downside is that there are not many shots from side angles which is essential for a high handicap player like me as well as slow motion shots.
Clear concise instruction on how the arms and body work in the golf swing. Clear communication at a good pace makes this golf instruction DVD a worthwhile addition to your library.
Good exercises for practice. One of the best golf videos dealing with the swing. Very detailed and meant to be used in steps. He gives you strategies to practice at the range. This video has helped my game.
