5.0 out of 5 stars anlytical approach to a repeatable swing, July 2, 2000

This review is from: The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although some of my friends thought there was too much detail (and I did on first viewing), this video becomes more and more simple the more you view it and practice his steps. Indeed, the beauty of the video is that it is detailed and can serve as a one stop clinic for developing the same swing that the pros use (and most good golfers even if not pros). Try it and review it over and over after you practice. It is very good and I am a highly critical person. It is not for people who are intuitive about their swing but is excellent for people who are analytical.

5.0 out of 5 stars The eight step golf swing, November 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the first golf video that I have purchased. I has been more than 10 years since I have played. I was not much of a player before. Working with a large mirror and this tape, I was able to correct errors in my swing. This makes golf a lot more fun. The golf swing takes a very short amount of time, and I think that breaking it down into 8 steps gives detail to every part of the swing. The drills that he gives helps to get the actual feel of the instruction before you go out on the fairway. I was able to lower my score by some 20 strokes. I consider this video the best thing that has happened to my game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only for the serious golfer, June 29, 2001

This review is from: The 8-Step Swing by Jim McLean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a self tought golfer and have wondered for years what I was really supposed to be doing; now I know. This video is extremely detailed and may confusing to a beginner. However, if you're serious about being good then this is the tape for you.
