The Weed Cutter - Harvey Pennick

Of all the thousands of swing-training aids and gimmicks I have seen, the best is one you can buy at the hardware store if you don't already have it in your garage or toolshed.

It is the common weed cutter.

Many years ago Victor East, th genus behind Spalding clubs, send six weed cutters to me and six to Wild Bill Mehlhorn, who was teaching at a club in Florida.

A few weks later Mehlhorn sent his weed cutters back to Victor with a note that said, "These things are ruining my business. Students who use them don't need me anymore."

The motion you make lopping off dandelions with your weed cutter is the perfect action of swinging a golf club through the hitting area.

Furthermore, the weed cutter is heavy and builds golf muscles.

While you are swinging the weed cutter, pretend you are being paid by the hour, not by the job. In other words take your time.

Is this a good training aid for swingers ?

A great tool.
