Hasn't anyone tried or owned this training aid? I would love to hear from anyone who has tried it, pro or con.

A 2 index friend had a Momentus driver today at the range, and let me try it. IAW his guidance, I hit only 6 balls, then went right to wedges. Quite an eye opener, clubs felt weightless, hit dozens of perfect short irons, as if instantly grooved. There is something to these things. I’ll try weighting an older driver before buying one, and I know weight must not be too high for one's particular swing speed to have a “hittable” trainer. I’m thinking this will definitely help swing mechanics and reduce warmup time. Other’s experiences? Suggestions?

Great topic!

I was also wondering about this swing training aid. I had a chance last week to hit the driver. It felt great particularly when I switched over to my driver after a few shots. The only unfortunate thing is that I demoed it at an indoor hitting cage. It is hard to say where the ball was going on any of the shots. I would really like to test it out outdoors. Any more first hand reviews would be helpful.

Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, why are there 3 recent threads related to Momentus? Coincidental

nevermind, I have an active imagination...

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
