I was thinking of getting either the Momentus or the 'Swing Setter' and was wondering if anyone had impressions on either of them. I read the review on this site, but was wondering (hoping) someone may have both and could compare.

All help appreciated.

We have a regular site, not just a forum, and it includes awesome in-depth reviews of products like the

Swing Setter . That should help you at least a little.

I read the review on the swing setter, it was actually what brought me to the site, I 'googled' it for a review...now I am hooked.

I was actually taking a shot in the dark on the chance someone had both, or more feedback on the momentus.

I've had a Momentus for years--the short one that you can swing indoors (when the wife's not around). I probably don't use it enough but I pick it up every few days and give it a few swings. I like it. I think it made a substantial difference in the beginning, but not as much now. It probably does help keep my swing plane in the ball park though. That said, you can find much more inexpensive weighted clubs that will do the same thing for you (unless you want the new weighted driver that you can hit or one of the other "specialty" Momentus models). I haven't tried the Swing Setter.

The momentus is a great way to get loose, but there hasn't been any change in my game. You'd be better off filling an old club with sand or something of the sort. The best training aid I've ever had is 6 ft. of pvc pipe along with a T-fitting....cut the pipe up into 2ft sections and tada...alignment tool. Best $2.50 I have spent towards improving the golf game so far.

I think 95% of the training aids out their are just gimmicks, the only way you are going to improve in a truly measurable and stable way is to practice. If you aren't making any headway on your own, you can always buy some lessons from your local PGA professional. I am still new to the game of golf, but I have played other sports, and I can say with confidence that cheap toys don't help you.

Follow along my trials and tribulations as a hoser learning the game of golf.

      My Swing (billchao)

      It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
