Has any one used the Medicus driver?

Question

My gal ordered the Medicus for me (Lucky guy I know) if you have used the Medicus what are the Pros and Cons of this training tool?

Answer 1

I've used a bunch of golf training aids. The Medicus is pretty good at helping you with a smooth swing. It is pretty easy to cheat with it by just turning your wrist slightly. I do recommend it along with a few other products. Key is to practice consistantly. I'd recommend the new generation of off-course practice balls like the almostgolf ball. I hit over my house nearly every day. they pop like a real ball, but they are safe. I then take my son down the street to a course he created with the ball in the park. This is how the medicus can work for you is to bring it to the park with some practice balls and swing away for 15-20 minutes a day. Good luck

Answer 2

I've got the iron and what it does best is to help you develop a smooth takeaway. I don't think it does a whole lot for the rest of your swing.

The thing about trainings aids is that each one shows you just one piece of the overall puzzle.

Answer 3

I have it.  Pros are instant feedback.  You know when you did something wrong. Cons.  When you get the feedback, I didn't know how to correct it, only that i made a mistake.  So what you end of doing is getting frustrated trying everything to correct a mistake that you do not actually understand.  

It sat in my garage for 2 years, before I had a more basic understanding of the golf swing and started to learn why it was breaking.

Answer 4

I have the driver and the 5 iron.  Honestly, I think you're better off spending the money on lessons.  I can swing the driver without it breaking down every single time and still hit a big slice.  I was hoping the club would help correct that but it did not.  I think all the claims that buying a training aid will 'eliminate your slice' or 'shave strokes off your game' are totally false.  The only thing that works is practice and instruction.
