After watching that I thought I had just left the dome with KevCarter.
It would be very interesting to actually listen to him talk about the Machine with Machine terminology.

You do not need to be a great player to teach. Players usually know a lot about their own games. I would look here rather than Johnny Miller for real help with the game.
I think that being a great player like Johnny Miller may be a detriment to teaching. Certainly, JM knows his swing and has tweaked it over a lifetime of exceptional play and hard work. He's one of the greatest golfers in my lifetime although I haven't yet seen Innercityteacher swing the club.
What we're seeing in JM's video explanations is "his version" (pattern). He uses some demonstration, but a lot of his presentation is the explanation of his "feelings" as most Pro's do.
Most of the comments made by Pro's need to be ran through a translation algorithm. Listen to their descriptions of their procedures and try and determine their alignments and force to understand the mechanics behind their feelings.
I wouldn't say that Johnny Miller was wrong about anything concerning his Golf Swing but his explanations aren't as effective in helping others understand as he thinks they are.
"Get it down to here, and then wooooooom through impact." Johnny Miller
I respect the simplicity of that. That's how I describe my swing.

I'm becoming a vegetarian just so I can kick your but in April 3 days in a row instead of two!!!!!
No more beer, red meat, wine, and Doritos. I'll be so angry by the time April rolls around that I'll demolish you for a cheeseburger and never even notice we had a match!

Hi Roger,
I disagree a little, although your premise is perfect.
I would talk to Johnny Miller about how to play the game.
I would come here to learn how to swing the club.
Not that there aren't folks here who can play, someone with the experience of Mr. Miller has ideas on the game that would be priceless....
Just another opinion my friend.
Cheers,
Kevin

I'm sure Johnny Miller knows how to strike the ball. But I agree with Daryl here; He expresses his swing thoughts in a very feel based language. Not precise info exactly.
You need to be where he is, mentally, to grasp what he's saying. Or you need to have him watch you hit balls and then maybe he'll rephrase as soon as he sees that first message doesn't go home.

I think we are talking about the same thing. When I say great player I mean major champion level. My point is that Johnny Miller knows more about golf than most and is qualified and paid to say what he wants. However as far as learning to hit a golf ball I would rather go to Kevin Carter. I doubt Johnny would add much to my game. Kind of like getting Mario Andretti to teach someone how to drive a honda civic. Now when it turns into a ferrari, maybe Mario could add a little something. But Kevin would do much better on the foundation.
That's how I describe my swing.
