Had time to kill today[it's snowing in the Highlands]so I pulled out
the old videos of the above that my son bought.
Forgot how many good points he really did make in his drills.
After looking at them all through [8 cassettes!] it all comes down to
one thing as far as I can see.
Secret is " A one piece take away" that's it.
He's made a wedge of cash from it!

I got something different; Hold on to the club through impact to try
and promote a square clubface from takeaway through impact and beyond.
I'm still fighting the impulse to "hold" the clubface after impact; I
wish I had never seen his method!

Not Dalton: the other people in his venture: I was told by a videographer
familiar with it that the infomercial took in $10M. He got $500K and had to
pay ALL expenses, ending up with nothing for himself.

I remember those tapes. I always liked watching them, and remember how
he is big on releasing those hands early, right from the top.

McCrary was built like a strand of cooked spaghetti. He was an amazing
physical specimen (which precludes people like me from using his
method).

Is there anything on these types of business ventures....the costs, the
investment considerations? Was Dalton in your opinion a victim of a
business scam?

According to the videographer who told me of that particular infomercial,
Dalton simply made a bad contract--and I tell it as he told it to me.
PRODUCING a 30 min. thingee is very expensive to begin with, and then airing
it comes next. Then producing the DVDs, then packaging them, sending them
to the shipper, taking orders, processing them, shipping, and finally,
paying the fees in connection with the charge services.
First there is the video and audio setup, with usually at least two cameras
and mikes. Then later, the $500,000 editing equipment needed to reduce
everything to a master tape "rents" at hundreds of dollars a day, and
editing takes a LONG time, playing, replaying, identifying breaks, adding
thises or thats, and so on. I am told that the cost of producing a Golf
Channel 1/2 hour informercial with the bells and whistles is easily $500,000
now. I do not know the cost for half-hour segments of TV all to yourself,
but when I did some one minute stuff several years ago in a LOCAL MARKET
ONLY my minimum per minute cost was a couple hundred dollars. I assume
McCrary's costs easily used up "his share" of the revenues.

Could be but I remember when that smooth talking owner brought Dalton
over to the UK,Dalton said his fee for lessons was now in the
thousands of dollars!
Now taking in a bit of blarny I still think he makes a few bob more
than he did teaching.
Wife asked me to turn the sound down when the Golf owner chap came on
but,like me,she enjoyed Dalton's "cotton picking speech"
Funny how he said release from the top when other teachers say drop
the arms down the slot.
Very good teacher though with a great swing.
