Thread: Recommendations for Instructional Video?

  1. Recommendations for Instructional Video?

    I watch the Golf Channel and enjoy the occasional tutorials they air. Do any of you have a recommendation for a golf instructional video that can help me? I know there are books, but I'm very visual and I think a video could help me even more. Unless you guys think otherwise, I would appreciate some recommendations.

  2. What exactly do you want instruction on? Full swing, short game, bunker play, putting?

    Ledbetters' DVD set does a good job of covering the full swing, but has nothing on the short game.

    Do you know the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The porcupine has its' pricks on the outside.

    I found the Leadbetter DVDs a bit too dry and mostly based on range drills, so not having access to a grass range with practice greens weren't a lot of use to me. I thought the series put out by Golf Magazine as 'More...' were pretty good though, and mixed on-course tips with the practice drills, plus each tip had a different presenter which I think helped a lot as half of my problem with Leadbetter was his awful presenting style. Again they come in different specialist forms though (Power, Consistency and Ups & Downs) so you need to buy all 3 to cover the whole game.

    The best general DVD I've seen is the full version of Golf For Dummies (not the shortened version given away free with boxes of Maxfli Noodles) but that is very basic and probably not much use for anyone shooting the low 100s or below.

    She goes out in 32, but comes home in 54
    Well I told her to see the Club Pro, But she said 'n-n-n-n-n-no'
    Have you tried the overlap grips? Yeah - but still she got the Yips..."

    Youtube has alot of instructional golf vids.
    Bobby Eldridge and Shawn Clements vid on there.
    When asked how to put back spin on a i7,
    Trevino said how far do you hit it?
    The guy said 120yds and Trevino said why do you want to back it up?

    I really like Jim McLean's...

    ...The 8-Step Swing. It's packed full of information (way too much to digest in a single viewing) and the presentation is clear and straightforward. It's basically eight positions during the swing, with checkpoints, do's and don'ts for each step. I find myself going back to it every few months.
