DVD & Web Video: Never Hook Again! 2.0 - w/Reviews

[jawallace]

Never Hook Again is Great!

This is such good material. I really appreciate the fact that Brian builds the pattern based on ball flight. So many, including TGMers, build the pattern based on some ideal, not knowing or caring about your particular ball flight tendencies. As a result, you end up working on stuff that is simply the wrong medicine for your particular malady. I have struggled for years with too much “hook.” I am a scratch player now and have had a few nice days in the sun in local amateur golf. That said, I’ve been fascinated with TGM for the last 5 years. I’ve worked on “right forearm on plane” “swing down the alternate target line” etc. etc. Needless to say, it hasn’t amounted to much. What works is allowing for a draw or aiming left and hitting intentional cuts. Now I have a few more quivers in my arrow when it comes to stopping the ball going too much left. Brian is the modern day John Jacobs!

Great stuff

Excellent

Great work again Brian.

Every PGA Member could learn a ton from this and all your videos.

Too bad I can't get continuing ed credits from the PGA for learning from your materials

Cheers,

Brian, Great video.

Brian at his best!

Fantastic video Brian, you really gave this great pattern the great video it deserves. This is the lesson Brian gave me a year and a half ago when I went to see him...if you are a hooker and can't see the man in person, this is the next best thing.

You're on the top of your game.....I can't wait for you to come out with more videos:
- Son of Flipper
- Short Game & Putting Matrix
- Soft Fade
- Rest of the "Friends" video

Also, it would be great to see a video on snapping the chain and getting maximum power....

Ditto on the Short Game and Putting Video...What a great Xmas gift!

Xmas

A family member likes to give me a book in the $25 range for xmas. I put the DVD on the list instead.

The videos are getting slicker, in a good way. Very nice.

Slicker??

The videos are getting slicker, in a good way. Very nice.

The short videos have always been a core strength-more of them, yes-better, well maybe. If one has all of them they can judge!

A++++++++++ Video.

This video is a 10!

For the web version at $9.99 it is a steal. There is information on here you that would cost you big bucks if it was not for Brian to offer it for that price and there are only a few instructors who know it and would teach it. I would recommend you buy all the videos Brian makes to learn about different patterns and for the low cost of the web version you should spend the extra for the DVD's.

Job Well Done!!

Just ordered the web version. Between this and the upcoming Friends video, there should be plenty of material to ponder.

EDIT: Great video. I'd recommend that all teachers buy the videos for Brian's patterns. It allows for a new perspective when you're watching your students' swings, no doubt.

 

[2mongoose]

Another gem!

The "right arm higher than left" takeaway and "down the yellow brick road" analogies are so simple and easy......this is such a steal for 10 bucks.

Brian - thanks again, another game changer for sure!

rec'd the nha2 and has straightened out my swing. still need to work on the straight back a bit more.

is Brian still going to put out the Friends video?

 

[vjsinger]

The light bulb just went off in my head. AWESOME VIDEO!!

Brian,

I wish I would have bought this with the Soft Draw Pattern, then I wouldn't have posted so many silly things. Not only do I fully understand all the terminology I've been hearing the last few months, but the golf swing just got a whole lot clearer to me because of these two videos. I'm really pissed the weather sucks here now.

 

[johnpritch]

What I really loved about this video was comparing it to Brian's others and seeing the flexibility (customizability) of his approach.

No, actually, what I really loved about this video was the entertaining way the material was presented.

No, actually, what I loved about this video was the quality of the information and the fact that I hadn't seen it anywhere else.

No, actually, what I loved about this video was the fact that the stuff works.

I really loved this video.

Btw, all of the above for COFF, SD and NSA also!!!

NSA, SD1, Building Blocks, Confessions, which one is the best pattern for someone who had not broken 95. I do not want to be buying them all and get confused and give up. Do these videos compliment each other, are they stand alone such that at the end of the day I will be able to enjoy a decent game?

I hit my driver 200 yds, my 5-w at 180, and my hybrid 5-I at 160. I just cannot put together a good long and short game. I've been getting double pars on my scorecard which ruins my game. My putting is decent. Recently, last three tournaments I joined, I won closest to the pin 3 times. I also won a low net award once.

Yes, I had taken group and private lessons, however, sometimes they teach different techniques. I search the web and found a master instructor close to where I live. He teaches the TGM concept. Do these videos teach the same concept or pattern?

 

[Brian Manzella]

...which one is the best pattern for someone who had not broken 95(?)

The Soft Draw Pattern.

...the TGM concept. Do these videos teach the same concept or pattern?

In The Golfing Machine the #1 Alignment is the Flat Left Wrist.

The best videos to learn that are "Confessions of a Former Flipper" and "Never Slice Again."

"The Golfing Machine" concept is to control the clubhead, clubshaft and clubface.

I consider these parts of the club in every video, although many of my solutions come from outside of TGM.

Just watched this one...

Being relatively new here I thought my natural swing was a fit for SD1.0, so I spent a few weeks working on that one. I had a little success with it, but came to terms this week with the fact that I've been a hooker for a while now. No two ways about it. When I was striking it well I could bomb the hell out of the ball and was pretty accurate... but more often that not I was blocking it into the next county or hitting that ugly low hook off the toe that wouldn't stop turning or rolling to save its life. Watching a little video of that swing it's a wonder that I could hit a target with that in-to-out path.

So here I am at NHA 2.0. I won't be able to work on this pattern until tomorrow evening, but having watched the video I feel a little better about being able to railroad my swing path back somewhere towards the middle.

You never realize how exaggerated the movements become in your swing over time as you try to compensate for a few bad shots with what you feel is the right movement. Thank goodness for digital cameras and a little humility.

Anyway, enjoyed the video immensely and I look forward to giving this one a whirl. Just dinking around with a PW in the back yard, it feels natural. Convincing my body to break a few years of Overkill Draw may take a little work, though.

I just got this one yesterday (should have had it long ago). I basically broke 100 with "up the wall, down the wall, left of the wall". Now that I have the vid, I can incorporate the rest of the pattern. I've tried all kinds of stuff, and Brian's info has helped me more than anything. The man knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to the day that I'm able to book a lesson, knowing it will be that much more effective than posts or videos.
