Redditor's online golf instructor resource guide

This is almost impossible to do and the target is always moving, but here's his (or her) attempt to get everything classified in a spreadsheet for well known instructors. Anyone know what Lockey Cast is?

"Lockey Cast" must be something said in one of his videos. 

Seems almost the information comes from watching their online videos. Some reading, but mostly online free video content.

I'm also curious what pendantic language is?

Makes sense for both points. I think someone who's more experienced with instruction wouldn't attempt this. It's just a little more "art" than science in choosing/assessing instructors. Personality plays into it too. You can't really put in a column for "deals well with fools/patience", that sort of thing. Points for trying though.

Luckily almost all of those guys on the list have videos online for free that you can view to see what they teach or if their style will fit with you. Challenge is, each of them says their way is the best way, and yada yada, you'll get better if you do what I say. Like you say though, at least it is the start of a way to know who is out there.

It is a drill/feel from Mark's colleague Coach Lockey that they talked briefly about to help fix pushing the ball out to the right.  From memory he feels like the clubhead is coming past his hands almost at the start of the downswing (or at least much sooner than impact).  I think he came up with it after visiting PING where they were discussing where is the last point that you can affect the swing with your conscious brain and it was about 9 o'clock on the downswing. So he started trying to fire the clubhead forward from there and it gave him good results. ymmv
