John, Thought you did a good job with a difficult subject. It really makes me wonder how anyone ever learned to play this game before video, Dplane, etc. I am not against learning and improving as a teacher and as a player but I wonder when it becomes TMI, especially when we take into consideration one minute on your watch is six degrees! I take the approach that much of this is to help us as teachers to truly understand what is going on with our students. I understand your point of view. I was always a 'why' learner. I think these videos are really designed for other 'why' learners. I've never met a 'why' student or teacher that believed in too much information. I always ask my students at our first lesson if they like the why or not. I can't relate to those that don't but I can follow their requests. Information is only there for those that want it. John

Folks, Here's a quick video I did about clubface direction. Hope it helps some of you see some things a little differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cCHUWsNQ5oLet me know what you think.

Excellent swing video lesson that clearly conveys very important information.

As a person who grew up not too far away from the Rochester area, I can certainly attest that John is a much better, effective and quaified teaching professional than the overwhelming majority of teachers in the Northern, Western, Southern and Central parts of the state. Believe me, I went everywhere for lessons when I was growing up in New York. He's also one of the best teachers I've come across in general and back when I was a junior living in the state of NY, I certainly would've driven 2 hours to go get lessons from him. John's Web site can be found at www.johngrahamgolf.com. You can also contact him at John@johngrahamgolf.com or at 585-752-9606. 3JACK While I am not in 3Jack's league as a golfer and instructor reviewer, I am a single digit who would suggest that he could include the Eastern portion of New York State as people who should consider John Graham. After having a local "great teacher" screw up my swing for two years, John managed to get me back to where I was in one hour.

I don't praise people that I honestly don't believe will help the majority of golfers they come across. I don't make a red cent off any of this stuff either. Nothing persuades me except for the truth and how I honestly feel. So if I praise an instructor, you best believe I mean it.

John, I just wanted thank you (and Jamie, John and Meindert Jan) for today's AimPoint fundamentals clinic in The Netherlands. I must say that I was most impressed with the quality of the information as well as with the way that it was presented. Higly recommended stuff! I can't wait to putt it into practice so I too can start to make everything. (And of course I feel honored to have been the first dutch amateur to learn AimPoint.) Hope to see you guys again some day! Paul

Paul,
It was great meeting and working a little aimpoint with you and the other guys.
Just getting back to the US now and would love to hear how things have been going so far.
