Here is a post from the www.4gea.com board. Thought it was quite amusing.Leadbetter comeup with all of his theories on his own!! Don't know the person who wrote it but he is a huge leadbeter fan. I am not the author of this thread, just copied and pasted.
"copied and pasted from GEA. Please remove if that is a problem"
You may not like Leadbetter as many others on this DB, but no one has influenced the way the game is taught more than Lead. His book, "The Swing" gave instructors a whole new language, helped push the use video by using lines, helped to define the plane of the swing in a different way and many others. Guys like Rick Smith took a lot from Leadbetter, Jim McLean, Jim Flick and even Butch take terms and definitions from him.
Prior to Leadbetter, who talked of spine angle? Early wrist set? Quiet legs? Using big muscles? Everyone will find ways to discredit him and give credit to their favorite teachers but there is no denying who positively changed the way the game is taught.
He is an innovator and revolutionary. Because of that people like to trash him like they did Galileo and Christopher Columbus.
On another note, he develops new talent more than anyone else. And his clones are doing well at that too. He does not just take good pros and try to make them better. He and his staff as well as former staff, has put a lot of people on the PGA and LPGA tours.
G-man
