    Small practice plate(after watching Sam's dvd)

    I looked at some of Sam’s trailers for his videos and they seemed very GRS centric. Is that true? Or in the actual video does he cover alternatives as well? I ask as I can’t pick up a DVD or book and flick through to see before buying and I think the all look really good from the website but...
