I was quite excited when I bought this DVD but that excitement withered as I watched it and by the time it ended the excitement had turned into disappointment.This DVD has very little instructional value. You will not see even a single putt drop into the hole. These two great putters offer no insight into how to read the greens or any others tips they may have for less than accomplished golfers like myself. They talk a little about setup which is the only instruction in this DVD. They two gentlemen talk about how they started learning and playing golf. I suppose public speaking is not Ben Crenshaw's forte because he starts saying something and can not seem to finish his thought/sentence. Dave Stockton tries to keep Ben on track but fails. At one point Dave says something to the effect of 'I was taught not to use the word *hit* when referring to putting' Ben agrees whole heartedly but then keeps saying 'hit the put' for the entire duration of the DVD. I have no doubt these gentlemen are great golfers and putters, and they seem to be talking sincerely, but this DVD needs to be re-done with the help of a filming professional and re-edited. It has poor production quality, poor visuals, and poor instructional value. I suppose Lee Trevino, Byron Nelson and Annika Sorenstam did not watch this DVD when they endorsed this product. I bought it just because I saw those 3 great players saying good things, on the back cover of the DVD. Perhaps they were referring to Ben and Dave themselves and their games/careers but not to this DVD.
