VHS Movie Reviews of The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean [VHS]
Movie Review: The most negative instructional DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm just going to keep it short. If you want 50 (negative) swings thoughts running thru your mind at the time you are going to swing, this DVD is for you. Even though he (Jim) discloses that you should not have all these thoughts while you swing, he fails to know how the brain works processing information. You can't tell the brain "don't do that" without engraving the negative impulse. It's like telling a child don't get near the stove because it will toast your hand. Thus the child, every time he walks thru a kitchen he sees a stove and thinks about his hand burned into pieces.
I'm saying this beacuse thru the video, for every of his "8-steps" he emphasizes on certain "death moves" that you should not make. He even throws in a huge graphic of a "poison skull" that I can still see in my dreams. For every step, as he says, there are 5 to 6 "death moves" at the very least. He indicates in detail and d?cor, that if you make any of these "death moves" at any stage of your swing you are, and I quote: "dead, history, done, toast, thru".
Any modern teacher either of golf or grammar school knows that negativity is the lethal ingredient in any learning process.
Summary of The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean [VHS]
Jim McLean has analyzed every aspect of the golf swing and shares his theories with millions of players as advisor to The Golf Channel Academy and owner of the acclaimed Jim McLean Golf Schools. In this Golf Channel Home Video, McLean identifies the eight key check point positions, which are the foundation of his teaching. Use these eight steps to check your swing, improve your game, and build a swing to count on for years to come.Renowned golf teacher Jim McLean's The 8-Step Swing provides a lifetime's worth of golf magazine tips compressed into an 80-minute video, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, the video will overwhelm most golfers if they watch it in one sitting. Not only does McLean break the full golf swing into eight distinct steps, or checkpoints, but at each step he provides a wealth of tips, drills, and "death moves" (faults from which no golfer can recover). Trying to keep all these pointers in mind on the golf course would be impossible. But for the golfer with the patience to consume the video in small doses, McLean's advice can help piece together a fundamentally sound full golf swing. None of the tips here are unique or unconventional. The strength of McLean's video is in the breadth of traditional fundamentals covered.
As with all golf instructional videos, The 8-Step Swing will benefit best those golfers who have a good kinesthetic sense of their body and club during the swing. Those who do not should videotape themselves to see if they are following the instruction properly. Note that McLean focuses exclusively on the full golf swing in this video and doesn't examine putting or the short game. Golfers who enjoy the video may also wish to pick up McLean's book The Eight-Step Swing: A Revolutionary Golf Technique by a Pro Coach for an easier way to look up specific tips and drills. --Eugene Wei
