Renowned golf teacher Jim McLean's The 8-Step Swing provides a lifetime's worth of golf magazine tips compressed into an 80-minute video, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, the video will overwhelm most golfers if they watch it in one sitting. Not only does McLean break the full golf swing into eight distinct steps, or checkpoints, but at each step he provides a wealth of tips, drills, and "death moves" (faults from which no golfer can recover). Trying to keep all these pointers in mind on the golf course would be impossible. But for the golfer with the patience to consume the video in small doses, McLean's advice can help piece together a fundamentally sound full golf swing. None of the tips here are unique or unconventional. The strength of McLean's video is in the breadth of traditional fundamentals covered.

As with all golf instructional videos, The 8-Step Swing will benefit best those golfers who have a good kinesthetic sense of their body and club during the swing. Those who do not should videotape themselves to see if they are following the instruction properly. Note that McLean focuses exclusively on the full golf swing in this video and doesn't examine putting or the short game. Golfers who enjoy the video may also wish to pick up McLean's book The Eight-Step Swing: A Revolutionary Golf Technique by a Pro Coach for an easier way to look up specific tips and drills. --Eugene Wei

Rating : - 5th step,,,,,,,,,,,,,is the key !
My Dad got me playing golf in the fifth grade and up until the end of my freshman year in high school,,,,I played by swinging naturally. But, the following year, my swing went down hill because I did not understand my golf swing. So, I quit playing for twenty years,,,,then started playing again. Thanks to this video, I'm improving now. This video demonstrates exactly what you should be doing in the golf swing. The way that Jim McLean repeatedly shows each position,,,,,especially the 5th position, should help to improve anyones swing. There are a couple of clips of pros that should be viewed in slow motion to view the 8 steps,,,as well as normal speed to get a sense of the timing and fluidity of a professional golf swing.
If this DVD could be improved, it would be by the addition of more professional swings which could be studied.
