Anyone use one of these before? It's basically an Iron that has a hinge towards the club head that breaks if you swing it improperly. My uncle has one and after getting about 10 good swings in I started hitting my clubs and hitting them great.

I was surprised at how heavy the club head seemed with the Medicus 5 Iron. As I started taking practice swings it felt like the thing would break in two! The more I swung it the more I began to realize just how durable this golf swing aid really is.

Then I hit some balls with my regular clubs. They felt lighter and easier to hit than normal, and that was after practicing with the Medicus 5 Iron for only a few minutes.

2 thoughts.. First it is a great way to get in someone's head before a round even starts

Second, I have found that hitting balls with it is pointless but it is helpful to groove a smooth take-away. The weight is also good to loosen up with instead of swinging 2 clulbs, etc... Would I spend the money again, prob not...

The most benefit you will get from that club is a better sense for tempo. Makes your swing smooth. Also gets you pulling the club and swinging into the ball instead of hitting the ball. doesn't have indications on your fundamentals though. great for getting a feel if you've lost it or haven't found it.

For a beginner golfer would this be a good training aid, or would be constant visits to a pro for one on one lessons be a better place to spend money?
I have just been curious about this product and wondering how beneficial it really is, its been on the market for ages!

I personally would always lean to 1-on-1 lessons if had a choice. The medicus IMHO is a good tool like someone said above for tempo (to develop or if you lost yours) but as far as learning fundementals a pro is preferred.

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.
