Hey, wondered if anyone out there had tried one of the Medicus Maximus weighted driver. I was interested in getting one but couldn't really find any reviews on it. Wondered if it would actually do some good and give some positive feedback. Anyone's thoughts??

I think weighted clubs are one of the best training aids out there! I have no personal experience with the Medicus model, but like anything else, if you use it properly, it will help. Here's the only Amazon review for the club. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Take It Easy, February 8, 2008 By RCH "teacherrich" (Nevada City, CA USA) - See all my reviews I've used a weighted club for the past year with dramatic results. Within the first month, I was 10-15 yards longer off the tee. Irons are affected less for distance, but I spin the ball more. A year later, I have added about 20 yards to my drives. At 61 years old, that's pretty good!

I've had a few different training clubs, and then picked up the Medicus Maximus about 3 weeks ago at the suggestion of a teaching pro. I truly is the best training club or device I've used. It has really helped me set the club into the right position at the top and then drop it nicely into the proverbial slot. It also helps a lot making a smoother transition at the top to start the downswing. I've seen a noticable improvement in my consistency and ball striking since I've started to use it, and I believe my clubhead speed is starting to inch up a bit too. I'm expecting that a few months of regular use will really help me set my swing better and pick up a few yards as well.

The thing I really like about the Medicus Driver is you can hit balls with it, even with the 460cc head.

It took me a few swings as I had some obvious flaws in my golf swing I had no idea were there. Once I got the hang of hitting balls with the Medicus Driver (after about 20 minutes), my swing was no less than amazing! I suddenly realized before the Medicus Driver I had been rushing my take away, now I'm giving my golf swing time to develop which has helped my power and consistantcy tremendously. Even my 13 year old daughter was hitting balls with the Medicus Driver in no time and she's a beginner golfer. I now keep Medicus Driver in my bag! Make sure you buy the Medicus Driver from the Medicus Golf site, you'll get FREE shipping and it will ship within 24 hours. If you decide to buy the Medicus Driver on Ebay - BUYER BEWARE!! You may not get the bonuses and shipping time could take forever.

Anyone else have any experience with the Maximus Weighted Driver? I'm thinking of getting one, but debating between it and the Momentus Power Hitter.

Any other thoughts out there?

I actually picked up one and have taken a few swings with it. I had a power hitter and sold it about a year ago, I didn't like it because it just seemed way too heavy in the clubhead and screwed with my tempo too much. Anyways with those few swings I took I did notice it was a little lighter and did not seem quite as heavy in the clubhead, the weight felt much better dispursed throughout the whole club. It might be until the first of next week before I have a chance to actually hit it because we are going to be getting about 3" of snow. I will post A response with my findings, also got it on eBay for $130 with free shipping and it included the power meter as well as the manual and Camillo instructional DVD and got it in under a week. I can get you the seller info if you are interested.

I just bought a Medicus Maximus on eBay and tried it last night. It weighs around 2 lbs 4 oz, with most of the weight distributed throughout the entire shaft (the head seems lighter). I could swing it OK and definitely felt it stretching out my arms, back and waist muscles. My swing speed is not that great (right under 80mph) so I'll try it out for a few weeks and see if I notice any improvements.

I'll probably order that power meter next in order to measure my progress better.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
