Review of Jim McLean The Eight Step Swing

If you are looking for a great DVD that will help you improve your swing, this one may be just the ticket. There are literally hundreds of different golf instructional DVDs on the market and many fail to deliver. This is one exception that proves just how useful this medium is at helping golfers. For those struggling to perfect their swing, going to an expert like Jim McLean is often the perfect answer. For those that can’t quite pay for personal lessons, Jim will come to you in this new DVD.

If you have already read McLean’s book with the same title, this DVD is the extension of those techniques. He highly recommends (as do we) videotaping your swing and that will certainly come in handy. This is a great way to tell what’s wrong with your swing, especially if you can’t quite “feel” it yet. In fact, you may be surprised when you see your form in action and this step alone can help you take your game to the next level.

McLean breaks down your entire swing into eight parts, tweaking each step of the way until it’s time to put everything together. We’ve found that this is a very effective way to teach a player how to swing and to help a pro figure out where they are going wrong. All of the advice here is definitely top notch and very easy to follow. He’s done a great job of making everything easy to understand and pick up quickly.

There are some bonus features on this disc that you don’t want to miss including bunker shots, putting tips and some extra help on figuring out what may be going wrong with your game. The bonuses are so good they are easily worth the cost of the DVD and it’s nice to see these little extras thrown in, especially since the main part of the DVD focuses entirely on your swing and no other areas of the game.

We highly recommend this DVD to anyone regardless of how experienced they are at golf. The newest newbie will get a solid foundation for a great start in the game, while the oldest pro can still pick up some great tips to further tweak their swing. This is an area of golf where there is almost always room for improvement, unless you’re Tiger Woods, so this DVD will certainly come in handy. It would make a great holiday gift for a golfer on your list, or as a great instructional if you’re personally having some swing issues.

The price is reasonable, especially if you can pick up a copy online and for the money, this is easily one of the best swing instructionals we have found. You’d spend a lot more on lessons and you wouldn’t be getting the full benefit of having a pro like McLean show you the ropes. This is a solid buy and one that you certainly won’t regret.
