The truth is he did not invent anything. He copied my pure swing guide and put two lasers in a pvc pipe. The green dot laser is nothing special and you can get the same results from a red dot laser or any dot laser.

Two Mag flash lights in a pvc pipe will do a better job and cost $30 tops. It will have some weight to it and kind of feel like a golf club which the Smart Stick does not.

With the Smart Stick or any dot laser trainers you need a mat with lines on it to show you the plane. Smart Stick will sell you that for an extra $50 bucks.

I on the other hand am a true inventor of quality swing trainers and have a 3-D laser trainer that feels like a club and shows you the base line, incline plane and club face rotation throughout the swing without a mat with lines on it.

I am release it on Monday 9-1-08 and will post a video at www.youtube.com/golfacademylive for you to see it in action.

I was not happy about the knock off my patented pure swing guide but Martin is a friend and I knew it would not affect the sales of the pure swing so I let it go.

Well I decided to patent my own laser trainer and with the patent now approved watch out Smart Stick, I am taking over the laser swing trainer market and if you try to copy this I will take legal action.

Also my 3-D laser swing trainer retails for less than a $100.

See you at the 2009 PGA Show in Orlando. I have a 10x20 booth at the front of the Teaching & Training Aids section.

The 3-D laser swing trainer is one of four new swing trainers I am showing that is going to open many eyes at the Show.

Was this post written to me, Tom or to Martin? You sound like a jilted (true) inventor. No need to take me to court, besides you will be too busy being the king of laser trainers- a concept you first developed I guess. Besides I thought Mike Austin invented everything. I was very impressed with Tom Paul and his Smart Stick. The GREEN lasers are a major improvement over the red lights (or mag lights). If I were to buy a training aid not found at Home Depot- the Smart Stick would be it regardless of yours. Tracing the straight plane line is all I need to know- I monitor my hands.
