    saw this advertised - but didn't see the price.

    A top pro in this country would be more benefit to you over 3-4 sessions than a collection of DVDs.

    Unless you have access to mirrors, video recording equipment etc. it would not work.

    For €400 you could have 4 swing analysis lessons with the National Coach!

    I have the 5 disc set.
    First 4 discs are instructional while the fifth is swing analysis software for use on a pc.
    Its not a very good series to be honest.
    Its for a beginner/intermediate golfer who doesnt know much about the technical aspects of the game.
    Its recorded in HD and has lots of high res slow motion analysis of swings which is helpful.
    I have been analysing my swing on the pc for the last 3-4 years using Cswing software and a digital camera.
    It easy to do although to see the club perfectly you really need 1000fps ,I only have 30.
    One major irk I have about Leadbetters series is that he uses Charles Howell III as his model swing.
    Howell has a very unorthodox swing though so it isnt of much use to people.
    Ernie Els would be a far better choice.
    Its around $99 to buy and definitely isnt worth it,as there are lots of better DVD's out there.
