Different strokes. Obnoxious is absolutely his style, and it comes through not only through the camera, but in his writing. But the man was initially a rocket scientist (not to mention a pretty good golfer), so I guess it should be expected.

As with everything else, his stuff should be picked through, choosing what works for you. I like the fact that he tests EVERYTHING, and only makes recommendations based on the results of that (apparently exhaustive) testing. I liked his putting bible, but his insistance that we underread the break on putts just did not work for me at all.

I liked his short game bible considerably less, as it really boils down to grooving three different swings (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4) with each wedge. In short, practice your ass off, and know your distances. Well, no kidding.

FWIW, his teacher putting clips are the absolute bomb for grooving center contact.
