Hi all:
>
> Thanks for your feedback. We hope to incorporate many of your ideas into the new video. We plan to use on screen diagrams to show the movements of the swing, which should be helpful, as well as frame by frame video. We've only got about one hour, but we'll do our best to respond to the feedback that we've received since the last video and provide you with an instructive, comprehensive, and high quality training video. The video will also be professionally created this time and available on DVD. A field training manual will also be included. We hope that we meet/exceed most of your expections.

Thanks for the response. I was worried my sugestions would be taken the wrong way, and they weren't, which I'm tahnkful for.
Regarding clips, I'm not a lawyer but presumably you guys have one, and you are probably right about the copyright laws. However, I think it is reaaly, really important to use a live person for frame-by-frame demos, and it would seem that a local college player would do just fine. (but don't forget, frame by frames of the "wrong" way is just as importanr as the "right" way).

As a matter of fact, it seems like HITMAN once volunteered to be your demo. I don't know where Hitman lives or how close he is to Orange County.
