Will the Medicus help my game?

[r7 425]

You don't need any training aids until you read Ben Hogans Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf.

Yes i agree..Ben Hogan was the best teacher i think ever existed. Simply because he simplified the swing in a way you could understand..Hogan's swing also seemed to be down to earth...good call on the book

I recommend the momentus over the medicus, I have both and i see much more improvement with the momentus than the medicus. If you use the momentus correctly it will teach you tempo as well as a good inside-out approach. The homemade inside-out training aid is also a good exercise to use. Another thing the momentus forces you to learn to use your lower muscles and not just the upper muscles which might cause you problems.

When I first started, I couldn't hit an iron longer than an 8 iron. Someone gave me their old 5 iron Medicus and it worked for me. It reinforced the one piece takeaway, proper swing plane, and tempo. However, when I was relearning the game (when I had the $h@nk$), it didn't help since I had lower body errors that the medicus did not help.

I proceeded to get the Refiner driver which has helped me with the hybrids through driver.

The makers of this product say it is for a certain type of swing and not all golfers will benefit. I have a Leverage type of swing which is a variant of the one plane swing.

every time i've tried the medicus, it says I break too quickly & hinge my wrists too early. I've hit maybe 2 clean shots with the medicus, and that's it. Yet, my ball striking from sw - 3 iron and drives are on point....go figure.

I own the medicus and it seemed to help for about the first month I used it. My body then "trained" itself just enough to not cause it to break but still do my old bad habits.

If you have a herky jerky swing, it can help you develop a one piece take away and help on tempo. Not a cure all like the ads lead you to believe.

Please share ur thoughts on this, i have thought about getting one but wondered how good it really works and if its worth the money.

The 5 iron really helped me with most of the clubs in the bag. I got it for free from someone.

The driver was a bit heavy.

The Refiner is actually a lot lighter. If I practice nightly with the driver, I actually do well. If I did not use it regularly my swing atrophies (breaks down). However, I am finding that I do not have to use it as long (I used to swing 20 swings/night). Now I do about 5-7 swings over a training mat and an empty tee in the driveway (I know the neighbors have to be wondering what in the heck I am doing).

I use the Momentus to warm up. Not as a game improvement/swing improvement club.

I have used it before and i find it helpful. I think its worth trying it.
