I bought a Medicus iron yesterday to get some help with my swing. Took it home watched the 5 min video and did about 15 min of practice swings in my house (slowmo, didnt want to break anything). It instantly identified my swing faults. I took my new Knowledge to the driving range that afternoon with one of my buddies. About 10 min of practice swings with the medicus (full speed now) and my shots went straighter and longer with less effort. I still hit some 10 yard duffs, but atleast i was swinging right when i did it My friend was so amazed that he asked to use the medicus. I gave him a quick rundown and his shots improved a great deal as well. The medicus doesnt let you swing wrong! Go buy it!





Go Yanks!!

I never really believed in "training clubs" until about a month ago when I borrowed a medicus, and within an hour and 40-50 swings, I had recreated my iron swing from scratch and now i am much more consistent and gained 15-20 yards on each iron.

I tried out a medicus a while ago at a local place. It didn't break, even with my normal (and quite flat) swing. I could get it to break if I tried, but I've never really thought of my swing as the *wonder* that the medicus advertises a swing that doesn't break it as... I certainly don't look like the guys that swing it on the infomercial....

I am considering the Medicus driver. I have the iron that has SIGNIFICANTLY improved my abilities to nail the conventional 5i through LWs.

I am having an intense desire to improve my skills with the 'Big Stick'.

Believe it or not I purchased the Medicus training iron solely based on this thread. I think it's worth the money for the training purposes, also keeps me occupied while indoors.

I used one a few years ago in a shop and went out later that day and shot 3 under my hdcp...I ordered one off of ebay immeditely...unfourtunately, the learning curve stopped right there for me, and despite being able to swing the medicus, it didn't really translate to the real swing...I put it in the closet and forgot about it...two years later, lots of work and a few lessons later I am swinging the club really well, lots of confidence and good results, so I tried the medicus again...swung it perfectly, but I noticed that I changed my swing to prevent it from breaking, and rather than making the swing smoother and more powerful feeling like when you drop into the slot and everything is sleek and coordinated, I could feel that the manupilation used to keep the shaft from breaking ruined the tempo of the swing, however minute...I went to the range and swung more poorly than I have on either course or range for the last month...back in the closet...
Save your money, get lessons and practice fundamentals...I am convinced that the big hinge at mid shaft affects the swing as the club feels unbalanced and no accurate feeling of the head...medicus rescued my high 90s period a few years ago, bringing it back to the high 80s, but nothing after that...IMO heavy clubs are the best aids available...

I don't think it would help a low handicap player as yourself, Vivec, but for someone starting out or someone resurrecting their game, it likely will.

I noticed that it is difficult to swing it at a faster tempo.

I agree regarding the use of a weighted club (ie Momentus iron) to warm up and for helping with flexibility. It seems to have better 'staying power' in the bag, per se, than most.

Now that I have grooved a decent repeatable swing with my Medicus driver, I am actually getting bored with it. I will hold on to it since my golf playing will become more scarce in the next couple of months.

All you have to do is swing slow, and it pretty much wont break...I dont like it!

I meant it is hard to swing it at the very fast tempos. I cannot do it faster than a 27/9 tempo.

I do hit it as long as my conventional iron.

Don't get the medicus. I used it at a local Golf Smith for around 15 minutes and I am a 0 handicapper (just wanted to see if it was any good). It will let you make the mistake of fanning the clubface open too soon on the backswing and I just don't think it is that great of a product.

Worst training tool on the market... Get the momentus if you really want to see results ASAP. Espcecially their new driver. That thing will put you all, good players or not, in your respected places. It sure did with me and I felt aweful afterwards. To think I was a good golfer with a good swing, that put me in my place in about 2 seconds.
