Golf Digest Electric Putting Mat and Electric Ball Return

What a disappointment- my grandson opened Christmas Morning - when plugged in it started smoking. Obviously we were afraid to try to use further = ended up in the garbage. Package too big to take to UPS to return.

Tiger Woods - How I Play Golf - Book

Tiger covers every type of shot and cimcumstance that everyone encounters on the course. He breaks down all stages of his swings, explaining why particular adjusts are made. Tiger covers the basics (grip, stance, swings, ball placement, etc) as well as more complex setups for the more experienced player. A good amount of humor, insight into his professional life behind the scenes and his approach to the game make the book a great read in between the mechanics. I love the book and continue to use it as a reference to improve all parts of my game.

Grassroots Par 3 3'x9' Putting Green

Works great. I was hoping that foam underneath would extend more. I recommend getting some double-sided carpet tape to hold it in place, and combining it with the IZZO rough chipping mat and some foam wedges from foamonline.com. I ordered the following foam pieces and break and cup depth is better:
Elongated wedge 12.000"TL x 42.000"BL X 2.500"H x 34.000"D
Trapezoid 1.125"BW x 2.375"FW x 34.000"H x 20.750"D

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.

1 x 2 Commercial Grade Home Golf Practice and Driving Range Golf Mat

I was having significant trouble with my swing and decided I needed to practice at home. I bought this product, some wiffle balls, a couple good instruction books and swingyde a fairly cheap training product. Things are getting much better.

Specifically about the mat: it is durable and serves its purpose. It does move around a bit after contact, and it does sit up about an inch off the ground (you could overcome these in the right yard). But I gave it 5 stars anyway because I can practice my swing in the comfort and privacy of my back yard and then confirm progress by hitting a few balls at the range, and the price is what I was looking for.....great value.

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.
