Okay,
here is a breif summary a each of the four instructors and what the taught there three students during the live teaching day. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THEY TAUGHT INDOORS OFF A MAT[to hide the throwaway] and into a simulator. All of the coaches when asked would always teach a full swing first and chipping last, so there was no chip, pitch, punch, swing cant bake a cup cake cant bake a cake progression, it was full swing off a tee.
DENNIS PUGH:
Taught plents off cocking and uncocking off accumulator 2, but had no regard for flat left wrist, so all of his students and innconsistent results. His understanding of the power package was good however educated hands were lacking. He did however work a little on pivot with a students hip turn and hip action components to establish a better impact an open stance might have helped him fix this quicker.
He said the Golfing Machine was too compicated and unecessary for his teaching although he said he has read it.
SCOTT CRANFIELD:
The Anthony Robbins of teaching!
Posture with a straight spine and straight neck were his mantra with all of his students and the rotation of the body and work of the pivot were very important to him. He said the correct pivot would produce balance in the swing. So it was pivot controlled hand proceedure. He had no clue that ´faulty hands could nulify it all and never be suspected.´
RANDY SMITH:
He understood and taught the alignments of a flat left wrist and bent right wrist at impact. I dont think he really knew quite how the were maintained, but at least he knew about them, which says more for him than the other guys. He also understood low point after the ball and he was big on the right forearm takeaway. He told jokes and relaxed the students with his good bedside manner. He thought clubfiting was important to compliment teaching. He didnt teach them much but in amongst the Texas jokes what he said was good stuff. I would say he teaches with about 10 of the 24 components.
HANK HANEY:
Brian would really say this guy teaches in slow motion. The same old standard stuff right forearm pick up club in front of the body used by arm rotation and a manual sweep release. I think every lesson is the same, good think Tiger Woods allreay had some physics because Haney dosent talk about the pivot much. His zones work like this zone 2 first zone 1 second and zone 3 third. He also believs the low point or flat spot is on the ball not after the ball. I suppose you cant ruin many people with his teaching but you cant teach them much either. One mor thing, he had a student that had a drive loaded hitting action and he taught him the same stuff as if his was a swinger so he obviously dosent get the difference between hitting and swinging and must sometimes experience students would have switting or hiinging.

)]. He is quite a tall guy and slaps it about 220 off the tee. A real BS baffles brains exponent that has based his style on "Grin and get Rich" Antony Robbins type self help books and high pressure double glazing salesmanship . A joke and a fraud. His slogan on his website
