I watched both DVD's and overall Hank is easy to listen to but the content was on the light side.  The 2 DVD's could have easily been combined into 1 had he focused on training material and not anecdotes and name dropping.

The videos would have also benefited from additional production, graphics, slow  motion, etc to reinforce his key points.  The videos are basically streams of consciousness from Hank, where Hank talks to the camera as if it was the viewer.  The part I found most interesting was his description of the 9 types of ball flight and how to achieve them but he rushes through that part and I don't feel he explained it in sufficient detail.  Based on his examples, in order for a lefty to hit a draw, the club face should be 1* open to the target and the swing path should to the right (outside) of the target, 2 degrees.  I'll give it a try next time I hit the range.

I have hanks blueprint. He has helped my path and driving. I have zero complaints other than I'd like to see more content. I tweeted him abouth that and he says more is coming. If not I'll quit too. But he has helped me develop a sound pre shot routine with the baseball swings. I went out and won my first 3 league matches with my 3 lowest scores in my three years in the league. Doubt it's coincidence.

I took the bait...bought Blueprint before finding this site. Very disappointed. So basic and run through. I'm an 8 hcp so far from pro but I put the 1st DVD in and expected a "whole game" thoroughness type of instruction. I don't like the inconsistencies in my swing and was considering an overhaul. Just wasn't for me. Just lacking in any thorough golf instruction. I've gained more reading from this forum, especially from Mike and Erik. So I'm ordering the 5SK System. Getting a video of my swing together...then I foresee joining the Evolvr site. I like Haney, just didn't care for the Blueprint because that's exactly what it isn't , it's more of a quick sketch. If you're curious Mike or Erik, I'll send mine to you as a gift....lol

If you close your eyes really hard to visualize this, take 100 swings a day and really focus on execution, it'll "just happen."

Good Luck ;)

I was interested in finding more on the blueprint. It kept going on and I Googled it and ended up here. I read through three pages of info in this thread, signed up for this account and am typing the note while the guy is still droning on about the blueprint.

Not so sure, my attention is held anymore about the blueprint, but hey... I found this forum. So, here I am.

Think I'll turn off the ad and cruise the forum.

Wise decision. You'll get more useful information and teaching here than Blue Print. Aside from spending the day on a course with a pro, this place is the best you can do. Erik knows his stuff. I just finished [URL=http://lowestscorewins.com/]he and Dave's book and it's fantastic[/URL]. Post a video of your swing in the "My Swing" thread...and away ya go!

Thanks everyone for the real information about the Haney Blueprint. Saved me the trouble and I suspected it couldn't be substantial if the infomercial claimed a parallel swing plane was NEW!

I would like some help with many parts of my swing and short game. Where is the best starting point? Searching the "Instruction" folder or just asking specific questions?

You should post a video of your swing as said above. Really hard to help you without seeing your swing. Go to "my swing" thread. Erik probably sent you instructions on how to do this in your welcome message. BTW, Erik is "Iacas".

That website looks like it was made by Hank Haney while trying out Dreamweaver for the first time. I hope he didn't pay someone to design that.

Thanks. I can't see this video right now but I came to this post from a google search because I watched a Hank Haney video from my email "Patrick's" video and Haney talks about how his driver was one of the 4 revolutionary, or something like that, clubs that he has seen (and no they weren't all Taylormade) but didn't say what it was lol. Was killing me. I thought it might be the Jetspeed because they have the same head cover.

I ordered the Haney blueprint last night for for $70. Comes with online access and DVDS. I did not know what to expect from Haney. Some of his teachings seem to contradict a lot of other teachings from other instructors. For example swing hard and fast not smooth. So far I am open to his teachings and I'll see where it takes my game. Final thought... Haneys blue print helps you diagnose your swing by the kind of shots you are hitting. If you slice the blue print gives you recommendations and thoughts on how to fix using a one plane swing. Haney wants you to not change your normal swing he wants you to find a way to use your swing, grip, ect...to make square contact with the ball and improve your game. Good luck!

I clicked on the ad tonight, and entered my e-mail addy. What I knew from the get go was, it's not Free, yet in the tv commercials, it's advertised as free, not even close, seems pretty deceiving to me.

I'll stick with the 5 simple keys.

What I find funny about the ads is how Haney is finally going to divulge the "secret"!  If you spent money on previous stuff he peddled, wouldn't you be mad that he didn't tell you the secret before? :mad:

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
