When ever I read about teaching aids I laugh. I have bought and sold just about everything out there(thousands, ask my wife). No joke.
Like myself, member:denny has thousands of dollars worth of training aids. Denny is a Collegiate golf champion, GSEB, MCI, WGCI and PGA Certified Teacher here in Mesa, AZ. He has been teaching for 20+ years and his students would include Jay Hass(grew up with him) and many many mini tour pro's, junior champions and a Senior Euro Tour Pro. Denny teaches 12 months out of the year and only takes off on Sunday's and Monday's to spend time with his family and kids. DENNY IS IN THE TRENCHES EVERY DAY FROM 8AM TO 8PM, ALL YEAR ROUND!! He loves to see people improve.
When he sets up in the morning it takes him 45 mins! Why, because he takes every teaching aid he owns out to the tee line INCLUDING his camera. Why! Because they all teach something different! Not one will teach it all! Or reinforce the properer swing of all 24 components.
Teaching aids are good for one thing, TEACHING!! They are for teachers.... a teacher that does not use teaching aids is like a mechanic that does not use tools. $119.95 spent with a TGM instructor with a teaching aid arsenal is the best money you will ever spend in YOUR LIFE. Often, range rats and students will what to come over and try them. Of course that is fine, but Denny says yes with reservation, because of the danger of ingraining something that does not even apply to your swing. example: Hitter swinging a Whippy TempoMaster or swinging a tennis ball on a rope.
I could go on and on about how teaching aids should have a Surgeon General Warning on them, but I hope you get the point.
BEST TEACHING AID - Still frame camera and something like V1 of Cswing if you have a computer. Homer Kelly says, L@@K L@@K L@@K. Problem is most people do not know what they are looking for!
Are you getting it yet!
As Denny would say "Stop the insanity", "your problem is, you do not know what your problem is"
Do like he says, post your swing photo's up, there are allot of instructors that hang out at these TGM forums.
Seek out someone who does this stuff for a living! Not the other guy next to you at the range or your golfing buddy..
Save your $$$, learn what your problem is, then L@@K L@@K L@@K
