Question:
Has anyone used this method or does anyone know someone that has? Does it work or is it a bunch of BS like most things for sale on TV are?
Response:
My brother bought all his tapes and even bought a set of his golf clubs (which he ultimately sent back for a full refund). I watched the tapes and the guy is a riot, and amusing, but the method he espouses requires a great deal of practice, just like all techniques. He isn’t really full of bull, but it’s hard to do what he says. It’s basically just concentrating on the "release" and doing it very early in the golf swing. He calls it "one and roll". His premise is that the pros can "release" right at impact, but the average player cannot. If you think about trying to "release" early in the swing, you may ACTUALLY "release" at impact. Try it, it works…SOMETIMES. J.R. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Has anyone used this method or does anyone know someone that has?

I recall an episode of The Golf Channel Academy with Dean Reinmuth from a couple years ago teaching this early rotation. Jeff

You’ve hit on some reasons why I’m skeptical about his method. It sounds like an approach to make the average player a bit above average, but it also sounds like a method that should be discarded once you get to a certain level. The main complaint I’ve heard about the McCrary method is that you lose distance. A good method "if you’re satisfied with 180 yard drives," as one poster on this forum put it a few months ago. Why bother to learn a method you’re only going to have to unlearn once your skills improve? Why not learn it right to start with? John Larrabee
