Does anyone know if there are stockists in Australia of World’s Best Driver DVD by Mike Dunaway? They stock it in the U.S. but want $30 to post it (it only costs $10 over there) It sets out the method taught by the late Mike Austin

If you are too tight to pay $40, God help you.

It will take you $5000 of man hours and 100 buckets of sweat to get anywhere with any golf swing.

Be prepared to do anything to get the result you want. Then you have a slim chance. Try to get it easy – look out for alcoholism or religion and an early death.

Pay up and go to work.

A bloke like Garry Player would travel twice around the world to learn a bunker shot or a pitch shot. That is how you get somewhere.

Inertia, you have it already. You need Newton’s Second Law.

Mike Austin had a feel versus real problem, commonly recognized. Most players who try to teach have that.
It caused Tom Tomasello to quit teaching for awhile when he recognized that he wasn’t doing what he said he was and thinking he wasn’t doing the students any favors.
Then he found TGM and it hit him and Lynn Blake simultaneously like a ton of bricks. They immediately called up Homer Kelley in Seattle and recorded it on Tomasello’s phone. I’ve heard the recording. It ended with “You boys really need to read the book.” So they went to see him, separately. HeadPro here also visited Homer once but not for a class.

Since Austin had control of the script and Dunaway is the student he is not going to say something contrary to Austin. Austin had a gruff personality and would fly off the handle. Austin, Shauger and Dunaway eventually had a knock-down drag-out split over Shauger’s book that destroyed the relationship.

So Dunaway and Austin say things that Austin didn’t do.
And it’s incomplete. Austin taught things that are not on the video, primarily a right arm throw.
And there is incorrect advice showing that Austin didn’t know much about the physics of inertia. Austin did not “throw it around the circle”, did not use gravity and there is no need to try to make the clubhead catch the hands, quite the opposite. It’s hard to keep the hands ahead of the clubhead. You must hit down to do that, pre and post-ball location.
And Austin’s biomechanics have been superseded. He said to turn on the top of the hip bone (instead of loading into the front of the hip bone.) Dunaway tried to modify that by lifting a quote from Ballard: “You can’t ‘turn’ if you have two legs.” without attributing it.
Austin enthusiasts say you could get on top of that right hip bone and pick the left foot completely off the ground and stand there awhile. Excuse me?! You’ve lost the ground forces in the right foot.

You will learn more from the Golf School articles here and Dart and Zen, a video camera and a mirror than from the Dunaway/Austin video. There is no such thing as ‘grooving’ a swing. Practice makes permanent, not perfect. (Chuck Evans)
At the request of Brownman I analyzed Austin’s swing over at LynnBlakeGolf.com as a 4-barrel swing and AFAIK it has not been contested. Brownman knew I had studied Austin extensively.
Here the analysis won’t be understood until we define what the ‘barrels’ are, the so-called power accumulators. They are out-of-line conditions in the power package (everything outboard of the right shoulder) that are inertially seeking in-line conditions. You don’t have to use all of them, depending on the shot. And a 3-barrel has nothing to fear from the imperfect 4-barrel.

The video is entertaining anyway.

as entertaining as yellow book literalism? ;-p

Heh.

I’m sorry, I thought I asked whether I could source a copy in Australia which may be less expensive that having one sent from the U.S. The attitude that you should spend whatever the cost to improve a social sport indicates a pathological obsession. I do appreciate the dissertations on physics & bio-mechanics but a yes, no, I don’t know would have sufficed.

Oh! That’s very different. Never mind. :-)

This is the Instruction forum.
Come back when/if you’re ready.

We are obsessed.
Nice to hear appreciation, though.

I don’t think I’ll ever be ready for a guru such as yourself (2315 posts, when dooooo you get the time to sail) & I thought the dvd I was seeking was an instructional one. I suppose your advice is something money just can’t buy

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

Hi inertia. I think your first post may have been misinterpreted they guys that responded are very knowledgable and don’t charge on here. Take it for what’s it worth alot of brainpower in this forum. Come join us;)

thanks

Oh, my! Thanks, Brownman.
There’s longer discussion somewhere about the 4-barrel bit.
That’s fine. Spotted a typo.

What a beautiful swing Dunaway has!

maybe this loren

INERTIA….....My apologies mate,I think it looks like a thread hijack,wasnt meant that way,I thought you may have been interested in MDs work initially,you really just wanted vid or dvd.Again my apologies

That’s JeffMann’s.

OOPS….Sosorry L

Did your dog bite you this morning paul, not yr usual type of response….?

little harsh on the op i recon.

everyone in this day and age is looking to save money here and there….

everyone in this thread has at one time or another looked for options elsewhere
