The OHP advertisments were always a turn-off. I could never trust the high sales pitch claims. I wish years ago that I knew it was the TGM - I would have bought some.
Now that we know the material is TGM, the ads are less suspicious. I'd like to get some of Bill's too.
I am really impressed with the one I just got and a few folks here PM'd me some others that they liked. You are right about the ads, they are overstated to the extreme with things like, drop your handicap to scratch is a week. Yeah, right. The videos I have thus far have been great. Only complaint is that they are on tape but I plan to dub mine to DVD this weekend. If I find any others I'll post. If anyone else finds something good, put it out. Its a small TGM world out there.

PS: Here's hoping Yoda gets one out soon. I'll be first on that list too. Can't get enough of this TGM stuff. Maybe I should make that my tagline.

teach,
I have the "4 Choices to More Powerful Golf" video by Bobby Schaeffer (with assist from Mr. McKinney !). It goes over a lot of TGM fundamentals as they pertain to a swinging procedure. A very good video. I would be happy to loan it to you for a few weeks if you would like. Just send me an email or PM and I'll be happy to send it if you wish. Dave Garretson
(aka Dr Dave)
I have a few of the Schaefer videos and they are all good...but all the videos I have focus on swinging. Are there any McKinney or Schaefer videos that focus on hitting?
In fact, Bobby Schaeffer made a few comments in his Ultimate Power Golf Swing video that put Radial Acceleration (Hitting) in a bad light. He said something along the lines that Radial Acceleration will take the club off plane and cause you to have 'power leaks'. Students of The Golfing Machine know that's clearly not true! Longitudinal Acceleration is not the only way to accelerate the club, but they make it sound like it is.
Also remember the concept of the 3 Zones in the UPGS video is very different to that presented by Homer. Just don't get the two mixed up.
Anyway, it's still a great video, and it will always be very special for me.
Those ads sometimes make us cringe as they're written by a professional "guerilla" marketer. The vast majority of our customers are the 50 and 60-somethings that would NEVER take any kind of lesson but would buy something that makes fantastical claims.
And, actually, we get lots of nice emails and comments from the people who bought them. Thanks, Homer, Ben and Gregg...can't wait to meet Lynn!
Anyway, The Golfing Machine is far superior to anything else those dudes have ever heard and they DO get better.
Everything is on dvd from now on.

Tongzilla, Bobby means cross shaft pressure will take the club off the plane if swinging he is really saying dont 'swit'.
Schaeffer also mixes zone 1 with zone 3, for mine I believe thats how Homer should have ordered them zone 1 hands and zone 3 pivot, but that's just my opinion. The information is correct so that's all that really matters.
Billy, Bobby , Gregg McHatton and I are conducting three X 3day schools in Melbourne and Sydney Australia in Janurary for those that want to know more contact Billy McKinney.
Billy mentioned you during our emails and spoke very well of you. Its great to see you in here and sharing your experience. Is Bobby in the building too??
