Recommendations for Instructional Video?

I watch the Golf Channel and enjoy the occasional tutorials they air. Do any of you have a recommendation for a golf instructional video that can help me? I know there are books, but I'm very visual and I think a video could help me even more. Unless you guys think otherwise, I would appreciate some recommendations.

I've watched dozens of them Samsonite. There's not one I can recommend. Other opinions may vary.

Samsonite,
If you're a relatively new golfer, Golf My Way by Jack Nicklaus is one of my favorite. Most of the public library would carry it.

Wink Re: Recommendations for Instructional Video?

I have 3 copies of Ben Hogans "The Modern Fundamentals of Golf", lots of Pro's study it sooner or later. Written 50 or 60 years ago it is a classic and i still refer to it regularly and would not be without it.
I am also impressed with Jim McLeans 8 step swing shown regularly on the Golf Channel, i have it all taped. Very technical and goes through the swing step by step.

That designation is related to your post count. It will automatically change when your post count goes up.

I once stumbled upon an 'adult' (x-rated) discussion board, by accident: You should have seen the designations on that!

I like McLean's 8 step swing. He is one of the most eloquent instructors and is one of the best personalities on the Golf Channel. If you have Comcast On Demand, he analyzes golfers on that service. He is a true student and master of the game.

Butch Harmon is a good instructor, too.

Leadbetter annoys me too much.

I agree with the Leadbetter comment. Not a patch on McLean if you ask me.

Re: Recommendations for Instructional Video?

I was just watching a David Leadbetter video last night actually. It's called "Practice Makes Perfect". It has a lot of drills in it that seem to make sense. I'm definitely going to try a few of them out and see if they help.

Golf My Way and Golf My Way 2 by Jack are the best videos I have personally ever seen in terms of instruction.

Golf channel also shows the "classic golf" lessons by Bobby Jones. That accent is so distinguished. The principles are similar.
