The reviews on YouTube for this product are bad- and by bad I just mean the reviews themselves. Not their opinions of the PlaneMate. The reviews are quite favorable-Very positive. They're just poor vi

I think it will definitely help with what you want to work on. I agree with Erik about following the protocol. Hell I even used it with one of our instructors at my club. I knew if I went at it alone

So if I preorder one now, it says availability date is Feb 24, I probably won't get one until like mid March?

The videos, the 7-day protocol, even if you don't have one, have a lot of good information.

Yeah, but maybe a bit earlier. Use the link earlier in the topic, and let me know if you do.

The eBay market is drying up, if you don't love it, though. 🙂

I received mine today.  My son and I worked through the day 1 protocol.  I can see that this will help, but my son did better than I did hitting balls (plastic ones in the basement) than I did.  He hit almost every one crisply, whereas I mishit several. He said he noticed me doing some kind of weird double clutch takeaway that was probably affecting me. However when I took it off and hit with the ghost feels, I everything well.  Looking forward to the day 2 or maybe repeating day 1.

I think I got FOMO or something, I bought one (through the link here) because after watching all the videos, the official ones and on social media, it looks like this aid might help me with the pivot, Key #4 and the short game. Looking forward to trying it out in March.

Just don't let it encourage you to pull the handle low left.

After a couple weeks of playing with this in the basement with plastic balls and half swings I got to use it outside hitting real balls into a net.

Full swings with the planemate on a PW felt good and even better when I took it off and hit a 9I.  

When I put the long green band on a 7I it was hard to make solid contact. That could be why they suggest using a tee which I was not doing.  However when I took it off and hit a 6I, it felt good.

The short band on the driver was also hard to use, but it felt ok without the band.

I feel like I am pivoting and finishing better. This is one of my bigger faults, so it is good to see it help with that. I need to be more deliberate with my practice with it. 

Today was the first time that I have ever hit balls in February.

War Eagle!

I think the short band is not for the driver, it's just for hip-high swings.

They have a video showing the short band on the driver. Claims that Darren Clarke told them that he likes the short band on the driver.

Yeah, I think that can be good for little swings. I don't see myself ever using the short band on full driver swings.

Mine is getting delivered Friday. I reviewed the 7 day protocol videos and remarkably it is very similar to the drills my Evolvr instructor has be doing. I'm excited to get started with it and reinforce all the other work I am doing.

Mine came today. Of course, it’s 22F out with 20 mph winds!😜

Undaunted, I set up a drop cloth in my basement and did the day 1 protocol hitting foam balls, and some real balls, into it. I had practiced the motions without the PlaneMate the last couple of days, so I would be ready. Doing this helped the learning curve.

I think you will like it. It works on the same thing you and I have been doing drills on this winter.

In one of the YT videos where setup is shown, there are two D rings and there are two pieces to the band. Mine is just one piece and one D ring, so I guess they've modified it since.

Mine is the same as yours. Works fine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
