iacas I agree with watty when he writes that he thinks you have a personal thing against Foley. You have so many posts attacking the DVD when your one review would have been quite sufficient. Also, you have a way of then becoming condescending (sorry for the big word) when someone writes a positive comment as in "Perhaps I'm over-estimating what the average golfer knows about the golf swing." There are more but I don't have the time nor inclination to look. In my case, you had to come back with a shot about me protecting a fellow Canadian and if I got an autographed DVD, all because I wrote positively about it. I'm sure Foley can take care of himself and no, I didn't get an autographed copy. I did not respond at the time because I didn't want to "dumb down" to the level you've taken your ongoing assault. ( which I have now shamefully done) I can only surmise that it's a professional jealousy thing on your part i.e Foley is well known, teaches in elite circles etc. I can't imagine any other reason. In the future, you would have some credibility if you took the lead of say, a good movie reviewer....review the movie and then.........that's it........nothing more. Also, be open-minded enough to understand that if a number of us are criticizing you, there just might be something to it. You may or may not respond but expect nothing further from me. By the way folks....the DVD is pretty decent for what it is and to whom it's aimed at.

I ordered the DVD on December 29th and received it less than a week later. I'm enjoing the content. There is no fluff or time filling chat and all instruction seems clear and concise. As opposed to some here who thinks we, the unwashed who are not professional golf instructors, may not understand the various nuances or unstated intructions, I understood every word. As an aside, I don't think instuctors should review the works of their fellow instructors. I could be wrong but I've never heard Haney, Harmon, Flick et al critique one another or their work. Personal feelings are inescapable (we're only human) and when a "leader" speaks, group think may follow. (emphazise "may") I couldn't care less whether someone tilts toward to the SnT school, A's method, B's method, Foley's method etc. It's just a golf swing. We're all built differently and what works for one may not work for another. That's why I'm opposed to instuction "methods". I've had much more success going to the practise range and sorting out my own swing as opposed to fitting into someone else's pattern Of course, this is all just my personal opinion so please accept it as such.

Thanks so much for the replies.. Mick

How important is overall club length in iron fitting? I see some on-line sites (Ping etc) saying I should be 1/2" short although a pro (where I fitted/bought my AP1's) said it doesn't matter if the lie is correct for whatever length. I was never measured for wrist-to-floor which btw is 33". Has club length made any difference to you? Thanks. Mick

aca247 Where I come from, we're taught to be a little more tolerant of each other's shortcomings. I understood your question perfectly. I think plark gave you the proper response. Cheers and enjoy your new clubs.
