As far as DVD's, there is a wealth of free video in our gallery which you can spend many hours viewing and reviewing. You won't find anything better for that kind of bargain. :cool:

I emailed the home office the other day. The reply stated "on or about May 1" for the latest shipping date.

you may find this to be helpfull

have a look here:

http://www.crokergolf.com/TGM_downloads.htm

in:

1.Peter and Paul's introduction to The Golfing Machine video - note what Paul says at the 32 sec mark

Declaration:

I am a bit biased probably because I have had lessons with Paul and I have a good relationship with him as a result of talking with him over the years all the way from single axis golf to detailed TGM discussions and also about his time as a touring pro

also the list of topics is very much like what I wanted to do with Paul in person on video - to stand there and have him demonstrate the 24 components etc just for my own records and then have me do them

his level of knowledge and passion are inspiring

IMO regardless of hitting versus swinging issues what Paul shows in this second clip is GOLD

on this video he talks exactly like he does in person so I feel this is not scripted

2. Paul Harts Basic Lesson - The best short lesson (utilising TGM fundamentals) you will ever see, featuring Hand action, Wrist action, the swing Plane, the Flat Left Wrist, Hinge actions, the Flail, the Swivels and achieving Power.

if you can apply what he says here you have to play good golf

I am firm believer that if you can apply say 20% of TGM stuff you can play to say 80% of your potential

hope you can get something out of it

Paul's clips are very good...I have them all and refer to them all the time for more clarity of the basics....great compliment to the book which is very difficult to digest without support from other sources. This FORUM is the best source...so many experts providing their insights and understanding for all to benefit.

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.

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

I have downloaded several of the Paul Hart videos on TGM and my first reaction was “Oh, that’s what they’re talking about.” What appears complex in print, Paul and Peter Croker make patently obvious in a matter of seconds.
Interested?
You bet!

So, I stumbled into this site and love what I am reading. I have 6 kids so I need to save some $ in order to make a trip to the swamp. Until that time, I need recommendations on how to get started. Where do I get this TGM book? Is there a video/dvd series out there by Yoda? (I do much better with motion video than reading).

Please, any and all...give me you help in getting started clearing the fog!!!!

Save your money and find a teacher that is closer to you.
