If your just starting out and want to build a solid swing in 6-8 month's. Go to
www.peacerivergolf.com and get the Mike Austin/Mike Dunaway video. It will show you everything and explain why you need to do it. I've seen the Harmon video, it is a waste of money. Leadbetter is good for a person who has been playing for some time. I would stake my reputation this will be the best money you can spend on golf.
Mike Dunaway also has a book on power golf. It fills in where the tape leaves off. It also has great drills.
When I teach, I use this method and study Homer Kelly's The Golfing Machine as a reference guide. Some things in The Golfing Machine are incorrect but it is the best researched reference around.
Many teachers teach what they know, but many of them don't know the facts. They try to teach technique that works for one but not many or try to change things that are not broke. I try to get to the root cause and fix that. It ripples through and fixes evrything else. Mike Austin's teachings are based on kinesiology, the study of muscle and joint movement in the body. Of all the golf swings I've seen his is the most efficient. I can hit balls for hours and not have a sore back from the improper swing sequences that are taught today. If you want to get in the 80's quick, this is the ticket.
