Looks like it would be a good training aid. Right now I am sturggling with a left to right ball flight . Its not as bad as a slice , starts off looking like a great shot , then tails off at the end. Center impact everytime , just has that cut spin on it.

Anyone have it , and what did you think ?

I don't have the Medicus, I just think they are cheap gimmicks that don't work. If you are going to spend 100 bucks anyway, that's around 3-4 lessons with a pro which would be a better way to spend your money in my opinion.

As for your little fade, when I'm not swinging well this is my shot. I normally draw everything, but sometimes get in a funk where I fade everything, and if you're making good contact and everything is starting off at the target and then tailing off, for me it's because I'm not releasing the club. A good way to check is take a couple slow swings and then on the follow through, just after impact when the club is parallel to the ground, the toe should be pointed up or slightly left of your target (right handed player). This may not be your problem, but this is my problem when I hit the shot you're talking about. Good luck.

Being a noobie here I figured I would use the search function to see if anyone had a question like mine instead of starting a new thread.

Has anyone tried the Medicus driver? Im pretty skeptical about infomercials on Television. My swing is not perfect, I cant hit it long and straight at the same time. Can anyone provide insight into the driver? can it really help? or should I just cut to the chase and get some lessons from a pro.

Thanks!

I would love to have that shot...I used to play it and it seems that all I hit anymore is a draw...had much better control with a fade and is about all I work on at the range lately...I have a medicus iron and find it to be a bit gimicky, but is good for tempo...wish I had the money back though...

I tried out the Iron & Driver yesterday at Edwin Watts Golf Shop in Houston. They seem to be really neat, but I think are too expensive for the amount of time you would use them.

I think you'd buy them and use them for a couple of hours the first couple of days, then easily get the hang of it (and probably see better results with your swing). But then after that, you'd hardly ever touch it again. Pretty hard to take for clubs that cost $150 each.

The secrets to the clubs (from what I did) are:
- There are 5-6 points given on the brochure that will be where your swing breaks down: takeaway, wrist cock, top of backswing, start of downswing, wrist turnover at impact area
- If you go EXTREMELY slow (compared to normal pace), you can get through the takeaway & wrist cock
- If you take the club back and then have the shaft parallel to the target line before the wrist cock, then cock your wrists and have the shaft go straight up along the same plane (which is parallel to the target line), then it wont break down. The hinges will only bend if you rotate the club a few degrees, as they should be facing perpendicular to the target line. If this is done, you can get through the wrist cock, top of backswing, and top of downswing.
-Then all you have left is the wrist release at impact area (it will break down if you cast). This seems to be the only area that will need more than 5-10 minutes of work to time just right so it doesn't break down.


I wouldn't be suprised if one could take a club that you don't use, and could mess around with, go to the hardware store and get some 4"-5" hinges to accomplish the same thing. Just fasten one on either side of the club, where if you rotate the club, the hinge will rotate and start to move away from the club.

It looks like it can be a great tool, but it would be best if you could try one out at a local store first. It would be even better if they rented them out, like $20 for two weeks or something. Because $150 is too much.

I have one, if you get one be prepared to be frustrated is all I have to say.

That may be true, but how much would the average golfer pay to get rid of his _______? (Fill in the blank with slice,hook,duck hook, Banana slice, etc.)

You could always sell it on ebay if it doesn't work for you.
I think this Path Pro thing looks neat as well.

You are right, it is a very good aid for a lot of different problems.

Fade may be caused by too much spin you might try opening your club face up a little, that was the solution I found for me. Just a thought...

Just curiuos for those of you who have the medicus driver what type of range to yall get with it???

well I bought the refiner combo set which is a competitor to them. I could swing it everytime without breaking it down and still would have that bad ball flight. Today and yesterday I went back to wooden tees instead of zero friction tees and I am back hitting it straight for the most part with a slight fade. 2 days in a row those wooden tees have put me in the fairway. Go back to a plastic tee and bam erratic. I don't line up the prongs so that might be the problem ?

Anyhow I am used to a square driver, have had one up until recently. My smt driver is -.5* instead of square. Could that have anything to do with it?

I sent the refiner combo back for a refund yesterday as it didn't show me any flaws except taking it back to quick in the beginning.
