Hey guys use to be an ok golfer in my day but I have recently been trying to get back in the game and was having trouble. I read about pure strike and throught I would give it a try. I read about the 5 keys and watched a free intro video and it helped me at the range so I bought the program.

I just received the dvd's and am going to document my review in journey through the program here.

I am also interested in your review. The closest 5SK instructor is over an hour away. I thought it might be prudent to invest in the DVD to maximize my learning curve before I go and book a lesson. So please review away. I am particularly interested in how well or obtuse you think the concepts are presented. I have found, for example, Stan Utley`s Short Game book to have excellent information that resulted in noticeable improvement, but was terribly difficult to decipher. At least for me.

There are guys here that have traveled from much further away to see Dave and Erik. As for the 5 keys, although I don't have the DVD's, the video's on the website are a huge help for me..

If possible, go see a 5SK instructor, they'll help you identify and work on your priority piece.

Or you can do online lessons with 5SK instructors

Either one will speed up and simplify the improvement process

I drove 8+ hours to see Dave and Erik. 16 hours round trip. Worth every second of the drive. If I lived an hour away I'd go see them all the time, no question. In addition to being great instructors, they're fun guys.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Sorry for not being clear.  Dave and Eric are not 1 hour away, they are more like 12+ hours away. I was talking about the 5SK instructor in Myrtle Beach. I know nothing about him. That's why i thought it might be beneficial to review the DVD first and become somewhat familiar with the concepts and drills.

[EDIT: I do plan on seeing the 5SK instructor soon]

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
