That is why I developed the 3-D laser swing trainer. It takes laser training to the next level. As for the bright green lasers I also use them in one of my hittable swing trainers and the retail price is $70 less than the smart stick. You can see the plane and hit balls all in one trainer. If you sold the smart stick for what it is worth and not pay for endorsements I might support it. But come on to sell it for over $200 and then sell a mat with lines on it for $50. You are telling the golfing public to bend over. Also you cannot tell if the club face is square with a dot laser. All it does is trace a line that is it. Two Mag flashlights in a PVC pipe will trace a line to. John, If you knew how the Smartstick worked you would not sound so Ignorant!! The verticle bar represents the clubface and allows the player yet another visual tool to enhance learning the proper release sequence. When I used it at the Barclays and explained the purpose of the arm PEOPLE GOT IT. Like I said before, people will pay for what they want and the market, not you or I, will set the price. I do not care if you feel the need to support it or not, just quit sounding like an arrogant, bitter man. I have been a Golf Professional for almost 20 years and I have followed some simple rules. One of them is that there are plenty of quality products in our industry so I choose to do business with people I like and respect. Unfortunately you have chosen to act in such a way that violates this rule. I know you do not care if I support your products or not so it is probably no big loss that I choose not to. It seems that you have alot of free time on your hands, might I suggest some online classes on Sales and Marketing. You might see that your products are worth more than you think and you could actually make more money. If you choose not to then at least stop making LBG your own personal website. I can see why you were banned from another site and would personally not care if it happened here. Opinions are welcome, constant berating will not be tolerated.
