Medicus Dual-Hinge Oversized Driver


This is an excellent club for grooving your swing. After just a few practice sessions, I was completely confident with the driver. The head is 460 cc's and is stainless steel. The hinge can be adjusted with an allen wrench (included) for sensitivity. The handle is a rubber wrap which a bit too firm for me but is standard in size. You can actually hit with this club but your mechanics have to be 'perfect'.

You learn the importance of tempo, swing plane and proper mechanics. The accompanying video is helpful in the appropriate use of the driver. The swing tips video is also worthwhile.

PROS
Teaches the proper swing plane for those with a smooth tempo
Adjustable resistance to hinge at a lower threshold

CONS
Heavier weight than the conventional driver which may change your perception of feel
High price

There are lower priced alternatives; however, at a fraction of the cost (Refiner Driver - has a single hinge but the action is exactly the same.

ReFiner 460cc Hinged Driver, Right Handed, Mens

SKLZ Rick Smith Refiner Driver - Hinged Training Club

VERDICT

It is a great training aid but there are other choices on the market.

Up-Tempo Practice DVD by Bob Hurley, Sr.


I got this DVD because I read a review that rated it very highly. I was a little disappointed, and definitely don't think it's worth the $40+.
Coach Hurley has many good ideas he tells you, and many good drills he shows you. But I had a hard time visualizing how my own team would benefit from them. I also couldn't see how Coach Hurley's teams benefited from them, because he never showed or explained how the drills fit with his system.
In our practices now I am using 1-2 of the many drills he showed, and I like them fine, but they're only a little better than drills we already use, and I wish I hadn't dropped $40+ to benefit from 1-2 drills.

Mini Putt Golf - Dozen - Colored Golf Balls, Orange - Sports


The only good thing I can say about these balls is they are orange. If you actually use them to play golf you will be disappointed, as I was. They feel like hitting marshmallows and fly about as far. They arrived in 2 ziploc bags and one had only 11 balls instead of a dozen. They may work for putting practice or as range balls, but that is about all I would recommend them for.

Of the 3 Tac Tic items I have purchased to date this is by far the least useful and unfortunately was the most expensive . Because of the cost of freight I purchased this with the other 2 items . Shouldnt have .!

Hank Haney Putting Track


Advertised as being adjustable in width, but is not the case. The product is much too wide for my putter.

SyncaSwing - The Ultimate Golf Swing Analyzer


I am quite pleased with the device. I don't think its small weight matters since it is positioned at a position on the shaft where it is relatively neutral to the swing weight. Very good for practising the release in a cramped area without a ball.Buy SyncaSwing - The Ultimate Golf Swing Analyzer!
