The utility golf club, or hybrid as it is sometimes known, is a relatively new addition to the golf club family. The utility club is designed to be easier to hit for the weekend golfer and is becoming very popular because of this. In fact, it is not uncommon now to see the utility club in the bags of many touring pros.
hey all,
I received an email from one of my readers I feel is so common with beginner golfers I wanted to share with you all.
here it is…
Hello John
I am 38 yrs old and I just started to learn how to play golf. I took 6 lessons from a golf professional at the local country club and plan on taking some more. I just ordered the Medicus Driver, 7 Iron, 5 Iron, and I have the Maximus on the way as well.
After trying this training aid, did you really feel that it was a great golf aid and not just another gimmick for someone to make a quick buck? I am sure that all the pros who talk about the Medicus are paid endorsers, but I tried to look up more reviews on the internet and there were not many I could find. Good or Bad. I just don’t want to dish out a few hundred dollars on somethings that wont help me hit the ball straighter.
I would much rather put that money towards more lessons or towards a better training aid. Have you heard feedback from people you know who have used this product? Do they like it? Where they indifferent about it?
I appreciate your input and time.
Thanks
J-
Here is My response:
Thank you for your question J.
Like any training aid, you get what you put into it. I would suggest finding a teaching pro who uses the medicus as a teaching aid – there are plenty out there. The medicus is not going to be a fix all, just another tool in your bag.
What I will say is the medicus is really the only golf training aid that I have found out there that gives you instant, quality feedback when a flaw develops in your swing.
I posted an article on my blog on how important it is to practice 30 days in order for a skill to be engrained in your subconscious, click here to check out that article.
Hope this helps.
Lemme know what you think!
Ciao,
–John
Regular readers of my articles will be familiar with my rants about golfers changing their swings in response to what I see as their golf psychology problems. Sometimes they change their swings in the mistaken belief that they somehow need to play better. This generally seems to have one of two results and neither is better than trusting their unconscious golf mind to remember how to play well.
