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!

Hell, I'm going to get a lesson from somebody in April, Master's allowing, and then I'm going to my Grinnell College 30th Reunion, renting a car, driving to MN, for awhile and then down to Bollingbrook, IL D! You can abuse me but you cannot hide! I am going to miss the Doritos, though!
