Essential Full Swing Instruction Manual September 22, 2000
10 out of 11 found this review helpful

still the single best instruction manual after all these years. (and not just because of the author!) for the first time, proper setup, feel and how to shape your shots is all laid out in one terrific easy to follow book. for example, did you know that after you have mastered one basic swing to hit the ball straight, how just a few simple pre-shot adjustments using the same swing will allow you to hit on command just about any type of shot you want?: the high fade, low penetrating draw, slice or hook (yes there are times when you intentionally want to hit these last 2!) will will become a standard part of your arsenal after reading this book. I was at a clinic being delivered by Jerry Pate once where he said "no one knew how to mechanically hit these shots until Jack Nicklaus taught us all in Golf My Way. before then, it was all done pretty much by feel." I agree with Jerry.

The one thing you won't find here is adequate instruction on the short game other than putting. since chipping and bunker play was never Jack's forte (why bother when you never miss a green!), this is not surprising.

5 out of 5 stars Jack's Original Tape   September 6, 2000
38 out of 38 found this review helpful

After renting this tape many times over the years, I was happy to find that Amazon.com carries it. I purchased it and at the same time purchased "Golf My Way -- The Full Swing". When they arrived, I found that this tape, "Golf My Way I -- Hitting the Shots" is the original tape that I have rented. I also found that "The Full Swing" is EXCERPTED from this one, so I returned it. It states that plainly on the cover, but that is not clear online. One only needs this one tape. Ordering both is not necessary.

1 out of 5 stars NOT worth buying, even at the cheap price   September 6, 2000
11 out of 18 found this review helpful

This video shows absolutely NO detail and barely skims the surface regarding each technique. Then it wastes a lot of time with a rambling interviewing of Jack Grout. This video definitely falls short of what it claims to do.

5 out of 5 stars A Golfers Must   August 18, 2000
In your golf bag, you have the tools to make incredible golf shots. However, if they aren't used properly then those tools are rendered useless. This video teachs you how the master basics and to give you the confidence you need to bring your level of performance higher than you ever dreamed. Why not learn from the 20th century's best golfer. If you are a beginner or have been playing for years, this video is a golfers must.

4 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT FOR BEGINNERS   June 15, 2000
16 out of 18 found this review helpful

I found this video to be most helpful in the beginning stages of my game (before I broke a 100). Nicklaus, does an excellent job of keeping the lessons flowing and easy to understand. I would definitely reccomend this video to the weekend hacker who wants to try video lessons to get a grasp on the fundamentals of a good golf swing.
