Smart stick laser trainer....................................$200
Instructional video........................................... just pay shipping
A couple of dowels, pen lasers, duct tape, and a coat hanger............................................ .................................................. .
I agree that the bright green lasers are really good, especially outdoors. This is a really cool looking training aid and I was ready to order until I saw the price.
I did not mean to offend, just trying to be funny.
We have all created our own "home depot" training aids that are much less expensive. Some are just as good as the originals and some are not. I imagine it would be hard to duplicate what they have invented since the green lasers are hard to find and fairly expensive.
I haven't used other lasers pen before, but I know these can be seen in outside even with the sun right on top of me.
I thought that was pretty nice.
Just thought some guys might like it.
Last october, I spoke to the inventor on the phone for over two hours. He was just filming the info commerical at the tim,e. He can really talk. I saw the stick in a bag of an instructor at Blue Heron GC near AC. He knew nothing about TGM except he hear of it.We talked about Martin and some of the things he taught. The inventor took lessons from Martin and one day developed this stick to help him square the clubface and trace the plane line- he uses a high powerd green light I believe so it can be use in daylight. Martin was wowed by it and help finance the project. The hand guide as he explained it to me is not how a TGM would use it- he sqaures with the right hand. BUt it look interesting. I tried to get some to see if some of our AIs could use them. Henning is big on tracing drills with those thin plastic dowels. But he couldn't make anymore until they were going to be releases. Everyone was calling him from around the country. At almost 200 bucks a pop I was trying to get a sweetheart deal. He lived nearby. I haven't spoke to him since. Nice guy bur as I said he can talk for ever. Looks like a helpful product in the hands of a good instructor.
I tried to build my own but dowels work just fine.
ps- Yeah Mouse in the house is typical Martin- he is loaded with gadgets like Ben Doyle and phrases to help students visualize- Homer would get a kick out of him.
Well I have always just used dowel rods for tracing,
It really has shown me that what I thought was correct wasn't, in the beginning my laser was pointing to far beyond the plane line, this was also happening during down stroke.
I was roundhousing into the ball and arching my left wrist, the wrist bar was really pushing up against my left forearm too hard.
For me personally I have been able to feel the correct left arm flying wedge and stop from arching my left wrist which is a big deal for me.
Have you taugth Brian or John recently???
Did they have the smart stick with them?
Talked to John on the phone last night (before your post came in). He mentioned in passing that he likes the product and uses it "every now and then" to verify his alignments.
Brian learned of it through John, and we talked about it over the phone one evening last month (before he had the product). While on the phone, at my suggestion, he rigged up a makeshift version using a club and coathanger. I have talked with him a couple of times since then, but the SmartStick was never mentioned.
