cjgolf,

I believe I have now seen all the Paul Hart videos. Is that guy as good of a ballstriker as it seems? Looks like he just rips the cover off it.

Matt

he was a tour player over here in Australia, played against the likes of Nicklaus etc in the Australian Open

I had another long talk with him today and in amongst it all he said he would have paid $50,000 to have the info that is in those video clips 20 yeras ago

To be honest with you I don't know about the true quality of his ball striking and here is why:

there was one time I had a lesson with him and then he decided to hit some balls off to one end of the range

I didn't know so much about TGM then and I guess there was a kind of mystique about what he was doing when I looked across as I finished my bucket of balls

He was doing what I wld now say was a TGM waggle

everything was so precise, slow and deliberate

from memory he would hit 1 ball every say 2 minutes

I just have never seen anyone who was so certain about what they were doing with a golf club and this is something I have never spoken to him about

then he would swing and the ball would fly like an arrow

so the long reality is that i only watched from behind and afar

I find Lynn's video stuff inspiring

I find talking with Paul inspiring also

its just hard to put into words - there is something they capture that you cannot learn from a book

I have been around golf, golf teaching etc for a while and I guess I am a bit cynical

Paul Hart is one of the hidden gems in golf instruction anywhere in the world in my opinion. Not just because he is a TGM GSED but there is the X factor.

He told me today his level of appreciation of The Golfing Machine and how to teach it is growing almost exponentially in the last 6 mths.

Even a month or so ago he realised he didnt fully understand something so he went out and hit 100s of balls to grasp what it really meant

I will post more on him if anyone is interested
