You may have seen the infomercials where this man, AJ does amazing things with the golf ball – his body contorted in strange ways, all the while using antecdotes about how he helped others learn about the golf swing.

Great point, AJ – we all tend to overcomplicate the game of golf.
Unfortunately this advice does not translate well to all players of the game. Even amongst PGA professionals, there are “feel” players, and “technique” players. Fred Couples – feel player; Thomas Howell III – technique player.
We had some of each in our testing team and learned that for the technique player, these golf instructional videos will not translate into improving your game. This video series is for the “feel” player of intermediate skill or above who wants to learn the finer points of flighting the ball, but may have gotten wrapped up in too much technique.
The positives of AJs the truth about golf
To be fair, the short game video is some of the best we have seen. It is an area of golf that nearly every golfer needs to drastically improve on, yet so few understand the subtle nuances. AJ does an excellent job of explaining the theories even for beginners to be able to use.
The negatives of AJs the truth about golf
Enough already AJ – we get it, you understand the golf swing.
The videos are long winded and get a little thick on the schtick. We all agreed that the whole set probably could have been put on one DVD.
So should I purchase AJ reveals the truth about golf?
You may find that the short game information and ball-flighting is just what you need. If so, the 90 bucks is what you would have spent on a few lessons and some lost golf balls anyway.
This is around where you say – well, I’ll just get it on ebay.
NO!!!!!!!
If you buy it used, you most likely will not be able to get your money back.
Buy it new and return it if you do not like it. Maybe then his next video will be about 30 bucks. Great marketers advise on giving the customer what they feel to be a great amount of stuff for a great price and they will eat out of your hand. I’m not saying AJ is gauging anyone, because infomercials are expensive to produce. Nonetheless, we feel the product could have had far more bang for the buck.
Bottom-line: AJ’s the Truth About Golf may be worth it for some advanced players, but we feel that the price is a bit high for the value received
2 & 1/2 of 5 stars: 
Be sure to add any comments about personal experiences you had with the AJ reveals the truth about golf video.

I bought the videos and I was very pleased with them and just lent them to my 14 year old niece who joined the freshman golf team about three weeks ago.
I bought some of the additional DVDs too and was quite pleased with them too.
I also purchased the 721 club and that was really great. I can hit it more consistently and longer than I could my old 3 wood! Wish he would come out with a driver!
Have a safe Labor Day, time to go golfing now….
It took 20 strokes of my game. This was fantastic especially for a tournament. Got a prize and bragging RIGHTS
I suspect most of these golf infomercials and the gear they try to sell is a lot like fishing equipment. “Most fishing equipment (lures) are meant to catch fishermen, not fish”.
it is a bit long and alot of shtick..but it has great info. It shaved a few strokes off my game especially the putting video. A bit pricy and it would be very expensive to go to his learning center. Overall I learned a little and was entertained. The concept is good and it works. I can now draw the ball when I could not before. I give it 4 stars…
If a batters hands are in front of the bat when he swings, what happens? The ball goes to the right! It’s all about timming hitting the ball square. You can have a ugly, inconsistant golf swing and accidently hit the ball square and make a wow shot! But you have to be consistant. Learn to turn the club over at impact. You can send me $10.00 if you want.
I am a technique player…to the max. And while it is slightly long-winded, it is the best explanation and application I have ever heard that relates our natural motor abilities (our hand-eye coordination) to the technical complexities of making a good golf swing. Every golfer knows there is no easy fix. No matter who you like, Ledbetter or AJ, it still takes a lot of time on the range if you want to get good. I have viewed AJ’s video twice and spent a few hours on the range doing his drills. They work. Plus, coming from a technician, the swing ideas are the simplest (and fewest) to implement I have ever seen. I agree that the price is steep, but with a 30 day money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose. I may even keep mine. But remember, if you are not willing commit some time to doing the few drills he gives you, then don’t waste your time.
Any comments?
I find that the comparison of the hitting area of the ball with that of a baseball bat meeting the ball is easy to remember and easy to apply.
