Thanks Grant.. You've really cut through all of the golf training clutter. I spent over $1,000 on new drivers the past 3 years. They didn't help. It was my swing that needed fixing. What I found most helpful was the SyberVision program. Simply by watching I was able to discern the dynamics of a correct swing and immediately apply. It's an amazing learning process. I went from shooting in the mid 90's to consistently hitting in the low 80's. Seems to be a common story.

It's hard to sift through all of the golf training clutter out there. Thanks for your work and thoughts. I remember seeing golfers like Dave Stockton, Hale Irwin, Patty Sheehan, Julie Inkster wearing the SyberVision hat and shirt in the 1980's and 1990's. SyberVision was really big then--on TV and in the airline magazines. What happened? It seemed to disappear.

Carlos says:

According to the SyberVision web site, the creator of the training technology, Steve DeVore, was ousted from SyberVision in 1990 in a hostile stock takeover. He took the company to $51 million a year in sales, was acquired by a New York stock exchange company, and then a corporate raider did a run on the stock and took over the company. Rather than work for the raider, DeVore resigned and had to honor a multi-year non-compete. SyberVision then went through three iterations of ownership and was reacquired by DeVore in 2003. He has digitized the the "classic" library and is now working with Bobby Clampett and CBS Sports "SwingVision" high speed camera technology to develop a new generation of SyberVision DVD-based muscle memory programming systems.

I'm intrigued by the possibility of a new Sybervision golf program. I did a Google search and came up with this information from this site:

Marbas to provide wardrobe for SyberVision

Marbas, a founding member of the Golf Cognoscente consortium, will provide elegant, embroidered shirts for the new SyberVision DVD featuring PGA golfer and CBS commentator, Bobby Clampett. SyberVision, one of the most successful golf training DVD's of all time, was first developed by Steve DeVore in the 1980s with swings and drills featuring Al “Mr. 59″ Geiberger - pro emeritus at Stone Eagle, another Golf Cognoscente partner. Its success and popularity, coupled with new developments in both neuroscience and camera technology, made now the right time to release a new version.

“Marbas makes world class apparel and we are thrilled to have their gracious support,” said Scott Clark, partner in Golf Cognoscente and owner of Lostball Studios, which will produce the new DVD.

“With over 1 million copies sold of the original SyberVision, Marbas is sure to see widespread value and recognition. This is not your average training DVD and Marbas is not your average apparel company.”

SyberVision will be filmed March 8-9 at the beautiful Quail Lodge golf course in Monterey, Calif. The DVD will be released later in 2009.

I'm really happy I came across this site! I would have never known about SyberVision. I didn't order the DVD but did a search on Amazon for used programs. I purchased the original VHS with audio cassettes and study guide for $18! There's a lot of other used SyberVision programs (audio and video cassettes) on Amazon for a fraction of the price you would pay for CDs. I still have the old VHS and cassette tape players, so what the heck. Did the golf program work for me? Yes. Ever since I picked up golf in my 30's (I'm now 67) I averaged about 92 on 19 holes. My best score ever was 82. A week after going through the training I shot an even par for the first time in my life. I'm not shooting consistently in the low to mid 80s --every so often creeping down to the high to mid seventies. For me, incredible results.

I searched Amazon for SyberVision and found other SyberVision golf programs featuring Dave Stockton (Putting) and Hale Erwin (Difficult Shots), Mike Dunaway (Power Driving), Jean Claude Killy (Downhill Skiing) Stan Smith (Tennis), Marshall Holman & Johnny Petraglia (Bowling) Dave Peck (Racquetball, Rod Carew (Baseball)) and a host of other used SyberVision programs at reduced prices.

I read the posts and ordered the DVD from SyberVision. At first I was a little disappointed because the golfer was Al Geiberger. Geiberger has a great swing but the film was definitely made in the 1980's. Spandex pants, funny looking golf shoes, persimmon driver. Somewhat old-fashioned. I got over that in only a few minutes. As I watched, it seemed like there was a little man inside my body performing perfect swings. It was an weird but incredible feeling. I instantly caught on and for the first time was able to understand what the perfect swing looked and felt like. My game improved immediately. It was the best golf money I have ever spent. I'm even looking to buy a used set of persimmon clubs.

I checked out SyberVision on the web and came across this site in which this guy does a thorough review of the concept, the company, and its products. After reading about his experiences, I immediately ordered the golf DVD. It's as amazing as everyone says. Not at first, but after about two weeks of watching and then visualizing the prefect swing, my entire game (driving, fairway, around the greens, putting) all came together for the first time ever. Here's a link to the articles: Optimum Performance Technologies Reviews. Pretty impressive stuff.

Like you, I've spent thousands on golf clubs and training. I've tried every new driver from the Big Bertha to TaylorMade's R9--and everything in between. I finally realized it wasn't the lack of good clubs but the lack of a good, repeating swing. And, like you, I tried the SyberVision system and it did everything for me that every one is talking about. The price is stiff at $150--but heck, it's done more for me than the $400 drivers --so it was worth it to me.

Well presented Grant. I`m going to get started now. I'll report back.

A bad golf swing and high scores is a real confidence killer --not just in golf but in life in general. Golf is a game of self-control and personal mastery. I've always struggled with an inconsistent swing. Whenever I stood over the ball, negative images of past golf failure would always come into my mind. I'd tighten up and then wonder what golfer would show up --the guy who every so often would hit it sweet and pure or the crazy man who would shank, whiff, or whatever. That uncertainty killed my game and has frustrated me for a few dozen years. I'm going to order the Sybervision DVD. I sure hope it helps. I'll let you know.

I live in London. My golf pro told me about Sybervision and how it improved his game over 20 years ago. I did a search on the internet and came across your site and review. I ordered the DVD and when I got it I was pleased to learn that it played on my English DVD player. Very impressive. Quite unique and a pleasurable learning experience.

I struggle with my game too. I recently bought the new Taylor Made R9 hoping the adjustable face will improve my game but have had difficulty getting the results.
