My Momentus Swing Trainer Experience

[sonicblue]

Do you work for Momentus?

Nope, just see the benefits, that's all.

I am not suggesting lead tape as a theory... I have done it myself.

It doesn't take that much lead tape. When you apply the tape to the club head, it has a much more profound effect than if you apply it throughout the shaft, like the momentus does. In addition, it allows you to actually feel where the club head is.

Any pro shop can change out a grip for you for $10. The training grip is about the same, and is not even necessary. Some versions of the momentus don't even come with one.

So it's not really all that difficult, and most importantly, it doesn't cost $100. Maybe that's not a lot of money to some people, but if I can avoid it with something that is reasonably comparable and only costs $23, then I'm going to do it. It only has to be 1/4 as effective to be worth the money. Having used both, I can say that it absolutely is.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of lead tape, then a weighted club ring works nicely as well (by the way, it's against the rules of golf to use one while you are actually playing).

Wow... Parmasters re-grips my clubs for $3 each...

For $10 a piece, I'll teach you how to do it yourself

[Errant Dog]

Yeah I agree, I don't really notice the weight difference that much.

i love my momentus. i use it before every round and practice session to loosen up. i think its a great investment. i think mine was 70 bucks or so. not that bad. ya its more than some lead, duct tape and a new grip, but who cares. people buy scotty camerons for 300 plus and probably could putt the same with a 9 dollar putter. its golf.
