Medicus Dual Hinge Driver – Do the Infomercials Tell the Truth?

The infomerical made very bold claims in terms of what the dual hinged driver could do for any golfer’s game. It looked like another pipe dream, promoting a quick and easy fix to a very hard game.
The driver is the key to a good score – The Medicus dual hinge driver claims to be 100% about getting that ball in the short grass by diagnosing swing flaws, and getting the further down the fairway by reducing mishits. We’ve referred to the driver as the “spoon” of an ice cream sundae. Sure we can eat a sundae without a spoon but it is much messier. Likewise in golf, I can birdie or par holes by not hitting the fairway but it places immense pressure on the short game. Most pros can’t even pull it off on a regular basis.
Driver utilizes a slightly different swing than irons – Woods use a sweeping motion and a wider swing. Irons strike on a more downward blow and are more narrow. Of course we try to keep the golf swing basically the same from shot to shot but it is different. Thus the need for 2 different training aids – golf is a sport of millimeters so slight differences off the clubface can make the difference between a birdie putt and a shot in the hazard.

Evaluating Medicus’ claims

We purchased the Medicus 5 iron years back in 2002 and extensively tested it. Our overwhelmingly positive results with that club actually led to us creating Groove-it Golf in the first place. Catching you up on what we found was that:

• the Medicus golf driver training aid covers 9 possible breakpoints in the swing, which makes it the most versatile golf swing flaw diagnostic tool on the market. Most cover one or at the most, two.
• increases distance by getting shots more square an improving confidence in our swing
• lowers scores by getting our head on the strategy and not the swing
• you can hit real golf balls with it so practicing can be done in real course conditions
• money back guarantee if you can’t get it to work (but if you give it an honest try, that won’t happen)
• durable – our Medicus 5 iron from 2002 still works like the day we bought it
• It only took about 15 minutes to start seeing results. We still have to use it on a regular basis as golf swings slide in and out of being correct
• Medicus ensures they have the lowest price on their website, as opposed to getting it at a golf discount retailer
• Free shipping at the company site
• Comes with bonus DVDs which actually are helpful & not fillers. They have come a long way since our Davis Love video back in ‘02 and contain some real “meat.”

Bottom Line on the Medicus dual hinged driver

Good for any golfer’s game, and the price tag is easily offset in the first year just in lost golf balls, not to mention the added enjoyment or possible winnings from our playing partners (shh!) Purchasing the dual hinge driver at the Medicus site provides the lowest cost option for purchasing

GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR PRE-SHOT ROUTINE, AND USE IT FOR BOTH PRACTICE AND PLAY...

GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR PRE-SHOT ROUTINE, AND USE IT FOR BOTH PRACTICE AND PLAY...
By Ed Grant, Author of Subconscious Golf

You should get comfortable with your pre-shot routine on the practice tee, then take it to the golf course. Make it a well-grooved habit. Go out late at night or early in the morning when you're not rushed and just really focus on making your pre-shot routine a habit under playing conditions. Adapting a pre-shot routine will actually allow you to play faster. You'll get rid of indecision, you'll feel more confident, and in turn you'll play quicker. Make a pre-shot routine part of both your practice and play, and it will really help add consistency to your game.

Swing Easy When it's Breezy...
With Roger Gunn, So.Cal PGA Teacher of the Year

If you hang out with some of the great players over the years, sooner or later you'll hear "Swing easy when it's breezy". Is that right? Or is it just some old cliché that doesn't apply any more?

Most clichés are based in truth, and "Swing easy when it's breezy" is no exception.

When you're playing in the wind, a ball with too much backspin can be a real killer. Too much backspin makes the ball balloon up into the air where it's really likely to be blown offline. Using more club than usual and swinging much easier will keep that spin rate down, which will give you much more control.

Does that mean you never want to swing hard on a windy day? Not exactly. When you have a shot that's straight downwind, that's when you can take the shorter club and swing away.

"Swing easy when it's breezy," now that's some advice that really stands the test of time!

Keep your head steady to make more short putts

Keep your head steady to make more short putts
With Bruce Fleisher, PGA Professional

Many of my pro-am partners miss key short putts during their rounds because their eyes are moving during the stroke. As a result their heads are not steady. What I try to do from four feet and closer is to focus on the ball and then listen for it to go in the hole. Try this tip, and you'll be amazed at how many putts you'll make it. If you learn to use the ears during your putting stroke, you'll become a better short putter.

Some quick tips on reading the grain...

Some quick tips on reading the grain...
With Roger Gunn , So.Cal PGA Teacher of the Year

Reading the grain of the grass can be done in a very simple way around the hole, and that is to see how the hole is cut. That's right, if you look when you cut a hole, it basically cuts down through the root structure of the grass, so the grass that's growing in this direction is actually going to have its roots cut and it's going to die. Basically what happens pretty quickly is that you'll see a little dead spot on one side of the hole. Whatever side of the hole that dead spot is, that's the way the grass is growing. You can actually look around the hole and get a really good indication as to what the ball's going to do.

Another tip is to go ahead and look towards the sun, if you can, and try of look at what's happening in terms of if the green is shiny or if it's not shiny. If it's shiny, that means those blades of grass are lying away from you, and that's the direction that the grain is going. If it's not shiny at all, if it has a dull look, then that means that the grass is growing towards you, you're seeing basically the tops of those blades of grass, there's nothing to shine off of, and so that's the grain coming into you. That's also an excellent way to take a look at the grain, to see which way it's going and you can factor it in to see how it might influence your putt.

Take More Loft Off The Tee

Take More Loft Off The Tee
with Jack Lumpkin

Take a club with sufficient loft that you can hit down the fairway. Too many people think they have to drive with the driver. The driver may or may not be the best club for you. For players with a slow swing speed, the driver may not get the ball up in the air enough, and you may find a 3 wood will actually give you better distance.

A good rule of thumb. If you're shooting in the mid-80's and down, you should probably use the driver. If your driving poorly, use a little more loft. If your shooting in the mid-80's and up to 100, you may find that you can actually get more distance with a 3 wood. If you're a beginning golfer, you might even want to try a 5 wood.

Take a little more loft, and improve your driving!
