Ragman,
I am referring to the drills that Dunigan provides. He has a TON of ideas and drills that I have never hear of. There are definantly more people than I listed, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Most books, videos, and lessons are just a re-hash of stuff that has already been said. Not many instructors have come up with a new way to get a point across. They try to make it new, but it isn't. There are VERY few who actually do have something new to contribute. I think Dunigan has a TON and is very overlooked. His swing concept isn't new (it's described well, but not new), but his drills and outlook is definantly unique and fresh.

I have never heard of his "tilt and go drill". I have never heard of setting a golf bag behind you and starting down by moving the club towards it do get on-plane (for people who are drastically over the top). I have never heard of his image of the golf swing being 2 circles.

The other 2 things are from his book.

ukhacker: Scott used to teach at Hainault Forest GC before he scaled up his bull****. I watched him give many lessons there on the practice ground and also at the golf range he teaches North Circular. I also know a lot of people that know him well before he got on TV. One of them is on the Euro Senior tour and is doing very well there. He said that in his opinion the only coach worth seeing over here is Bob Torrence he was not very flattering about Scott. Most of the Essex coaches teach rehashed Leadbetter type stuff and are junk. Keep away from Gary Pike he was the one who likes the head in front of the ball at impact. Over here I only will take advice from one pro and he is a friend of mine and a great player in Ireland. Other than that I learn by watching better players and off the net from Brian etc. The only guys I would like to take lessons and advice regarding the swing from would be Brian, Ben Doyle, Chuck Evans ,Bono ( Patrick/Phillygolfer) and Dude(golfing randy/randy/ro) and they are in the States. On the mental side I would take advice from keygolf( Carey Mumford)Scott likes to so called teach in this area but it is more along the self help book philosophy the "Grin and grow rich" type of thing. I do not think there are any A1s over here in the UK.
I don't doubt that at all. Nearly every book that presents alternative views (read, what isn't being taught at the time) is shot down.
Dante's book is a good example.
The proof is in the pudding as they say.... and his book/info stands the test of time. I honestly hope Brian's does too.
If there is a way to communicate to 'all' golfers how to swing that is simple, and quick to learn, the PGA, golf digest, and many, many others have a vested interest in not letting it get out. Bad for their bussiness. Gotta love capitalism. Doesn't always produce the best results for everyone but those in control.

Just like Bush?quote:Originally posted by EdZ
and Smith is where he is, and Brian is where he is... so..... what does that tell you?
I like Smith's teaching, better than most anyway... but of course none of them talk about the right hand/wrist/palm/forearm/plane, which is very unfortunate..... but then if they told the truth, they'd be out of a job - Just like Bush
Maybe I interpreted your statement wrong.....you said Bush told the truth?
...and their still looking for 'weapons of mass destruction' while soldiers get killed every day......
Yep, you misunderstood.... the guy SHOULD be out of the job, and will be once more people understand the truth. Enough politics though... let's keep this about golf, sorry I shouldn't have made the reference.
For the record, I don't disagree with most of what Brian says. It IS very good info. As with all things golf, one must take information in the context of their own situation/swing.
As far as the 'original' comments, I would like to suggest that those who feel this way read some of the material I have referenced.
The Four Magic Moves - by Dante is an outstanding book that has many useful insights into the swing, and a fair amount of Brian's approach can be enhanced by reading it. As with nearly all golf books, none can claim to be 100% the best approach for everyone, but this one applies more than most IMO.
George Knudson's book is also a must read IMO.
Those two books alone could really help people, especially when you combine their approaches.
I am not trying to discredit anyone, but I am most certainly going to debate and challenge.
It would be boring indeed if everyone agreed!
