The Medicus Driver- Can That Crazy Looking Thing Work?
Submitted By: Walter Ballenberger
------------------------------------------------
Most golfers have seen videos about the Medicus driver, usually featuring Tour pros like Mark O’Meara, Camilo Villegas, or other golf celebrities, including Hank Haney, swing coach for Tiger Woods. I’ve always wondered if that crazy looking thing actually worked. The curiosity built to the point where I gave it a try.
The First Swings Cause Concern
The first sensation is that the club head is quite heavy. I didn’t expect this and it felt funny, but since this is a practice-only club, what’s the difference? I was a little afraid to take my first practice swing. I was sure the club would break somewhere during the swing, and since the thing is pretty heavy, I thought I might lose balance and fall over or something. And with that heavy driver head flopping around, I didn’t want to accidentally hit myself. Much to my surprise, however, the club did not break when I swung it. With increased confidence I took a few more practice swings and then teed up a real golf ball. As any golfer knows, it is one thing to take a practice swing and another to address a ball and hit it. Again, the club did not break down and become unhinged, and the shot felt surprisingly good. I managed to hit about a dozen balls or so, and feeling pretty good about things, I picked out a few regular demo drivers and gave those a try. After swinging the Medicus driver, these clubs felt light and very easy to swing. The heaviness of the Medicus driver club head proved to be an asset.
The Medicus Driver is Designed to Break Down at Six Different Parts of the Swing
The first place the Medicus driver will break down is on the initial take-away. This may be the best lesson the Medicus driver will teach to a golfer. Instead of yanking the club back or immediately breaking your wrists, the Medicus forces you to take the club back slowly and with a good tempo. As one of the pros said in a Medicus video, “take it back low and slow”. This is really excellent advice. If a golfer doesn’t start his swing properly, the chances of him hitting a solid drive are pretty slim. The golfer also needs to take the golf club back with his arms and shoulders together in one piece. If this does not occur, the Medicus driver will break down.
Medicus Driver Break Points Two - Six
Break point number two for the Medicus is during the backswing when the club is about waist high. At this point the toe of the club should be pointing upwards, and if it is over too far to the front or to the rear, the club will become unhinged. Break point number three is at the top of the backswing, and here the club needs to be square. If the wrists are rolled over too much to the front or back, the Medicus driver will break. Break point four is at the beginning of the downswing. If the player snaps his wrists as if casting a fishing rod, the Medicus will detect the fault and break. Another common swing flaw here for high handicappers is moving the arms outward instead of keeping them in close to the body. A sudden movement of the arms to the rear will cause the Medicus trainer club to break. Break point five is at impact. The swing fault here is having too much body weight behind the ball. If a golfer is leaning too far back at impact he is unlikely to hit a very solid shot. Most likely he or she will have the driver face too far open or closed at impact resulting in poor shots that are hit weakly and off line. The last break point for the Medicus driver is during the follow-through. If the driver stays on plane, everything is fine. But if the follow-through is made as if the golfer were swinging a baseball bat, the Medicus will break down.
The Medicus Driver Training Club Can Make a Big Difference to Many Golfers
That is no doubt the reason that the Medicus driver is the largest selling golf training aid ever. Over one million units have been sold, and that pretty much says it all. Having a training device that gives immediate feedback is necessary if a player wants to improve. Most serious golfers go out and practice hitting balls for hours and never really make any improvement. That is because although they think they know what mistakes they are making, they really don’t. And all those hours of practice really accomplish is to ingrain the mistakes they are making into their muscle memory, so the chances of making serious improvement, even with professional instruction, are lower and lower.
One last word about the Medicus driver training aid: the break sensitivity of the club is adjustable, so you can make it more sensitive and see where your swing might be marginal even if the club does not break down the first times you try it.

Article Series - How to Cut 10 Strokes Off Your Game Using Medicus
Article Series - How to Cut 10 Strokes Off Your Game Using Medicus
Submitted By: Walter Ballenberger
------------------------------------------
This is a series of articles the goal of which is to help golfers improve their game by a significant number of strokes using various Medicus products and following the advice given in the articles.
But first we need to set some baselines. It may not be out of the question for a golfer who normally shoots 100 to improve his/her game by 10 strokes and start averaging 90. Of course this would be a huge improvement, and any golfer who shoots these kinds of scores would probably be thrilled with improvement that is half that good.
It is another thing to take a golfer who averages 80 and have him shave off 10 stokes and start averaging 70. That is asking way too much, and we start to enter into the realm of being ridiculous. However, if that golfer were to shave 2-4 strokes off his score consistently, that would also be huge, and it might be doable.
So although the 10 stroke improvement goal is somewhat of a moving target, this series of articles will be geared for the player who shoots 100 and wants to shoot 90.
Why an improvement of 10 strokes, and not 5 strokes, for example? Well a double digit improvement would be huge if attainable, and the number is rather dramatic and has some shock impact, I think. After all, even if our fictional player were to improve by 5 strokes he would no doubt be thrilled. But the chance of improving by 10 strokes the score of a player who typically shoots 100 might be enough motivation to have him give it a try.
There is another caveat that is important. The player needs to be able to hit the ball a reasonable distance with a driver. In today’s world that would be about 250 yards for men, and about 210 yards or so for women. With today’s high tech drivers, this is really not that much distance. They don’t have to hit every shot that far (I’m sure they don’t if they are shooting 100 or more), but they should have the strength to do so. If players have the strength and ability to hit a ball that far, they can possibly reach almost all par 4’s they are likely to play in two shots. I’m assuming that players who can hit drives that far are hitting them off the fairway and into trouble a lot of the time, or oftentimes just don’t hit the ball solidly. If the reason a player is shooting 100 is that he or she is now an octogenarian and can no longer hit the ball very far, his chances of improvement are certainly lowered. He or she can, however, possibly make big improvements in the area of putting.
And putting is where we will start. We’ll begin with the Medicus putter training aid, which comes free, by the way, with the purchase of a Medicus driver. The main strategy here is to eliminate 3 putts. In particular we’ll use some fun practice games that have been dreamed up by the famous short game guru, Dave Pelz. These games will help golfers to putt the ball the proper distance. And, by the way, do you know what the proper distance to hit a putt is? Here’s the answer: 19 inches past the hole. Dave Pelz determined that more putts have a chance to go in the hole if they are struck with a force strong enough to make the ball go 19 inches past the hole. Like many things in life, saying you should hit a putt 19 inches past the hole and actually doing that are two different things. We’ll get into those details in the first article of the series.
After working and improving our putting by 5 strokes a round, we’ll go after the final 5 strokes using the Medicus dual hinge driver and the Medicus Power Maximus (Medicus Power Max), which is a weighted driver training aid. This means you will have to purchase two Medicus clubs. OK, they are a bit expensive, but if you could really improve your game by up to 10 strokes, most golfers would consider the price a bargain. And remember, the Medicus putter trainer comes free with a purchase of the Medicus driver. Not only that but you can test drive the Medicus driver for 30 days for only about 40 bucks, and there is an overall 60 day money back guarantee. You can check all this out by clicking here:
There is one caveat to all this: if you want to cut strokes off your golf score, you’re going to have to put in some effort! If it shocks you that I can’t offer some sort of a magic pill to take which instantaneously cuts 10 strokes off your game, then you might as well not read the rest of the articles in the series. You will have to work and you will have to practice. But there is no reason that practicing can’t be fun, especially using Medicus products.
So click the link below to access the articles in this series. As stated, we’ll begin with putting.

The Medicus Trainer and the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing - How Do They Work Together?
The Medicus Trainer and the Stack and Tilt Golf Swing - How Do They Work Together?
Submitted By: Walter Ballenberger
----------------------------------------------
This article will explain how the Medicus trainer golf club facilitates the famous Stack and Tilt golf swing that has been very popular in recent years. In fact about a couple of dozen PGA Tour pros have adopted this swing technique. But first of all we need to discuss what the Stack and Tilt golf swing is and subsequently what are its advantages and disadvantages.
The Stack and Tilt Golf Swing
In a nutshell, the Stack and Tilt golf swing advocates that a golfer’s weight should remain toward the front and not shift to the back during the swing. Another way to look at it is that the head should remain in the same place during the swing. Some golfers have the tendency to “sway” during the golf swing, and in fact this works for some players. But it can only be effective if the golfer can have his club hit the ground at the right spot consistently and if the proper weight transfer occurs which will allow the player to hit the ball squarely. In fact some teaching pros advocate moving the body backward during the swing, especially with the driver, and keeping the body weight and the head position behind the ball in order to generate more power.
The Stack and Tilt requires almost the opposite in body position. That is, most of the weight is on the left side, say perhaps 60%, and remains there during the backswing. If you can picture a stick being placed in the ground that touches the golfer’s left hip, his left side should remain touching against that stick throughout the swing. This would be for a right handed golfer, and the opposite would be the case for a lefty. If a player swings in such a fashion, his shoulders will be lined up vertically at the top of the backswing and “stacked” over the left hip (again for a right handed golfer). Since the body has turned and the player’s back is more or less facing the target, his spine will necessarily tilt somewhat. So that is where the “Stack and Tilt” expression comes from. It would seem to be easier to just think about keeping the head in the same place and making the swing after setting up with about 60% of the player’s weight on the front foot.
How Does the Medicus Trainer Facilitate the Stack and Tilt?
The Medicus trainer helps a golfer who wants to emulate the Stack and Tilt swing. The Medicus Trainer has been specifically designed to break, or become unhinged, at six different parts of the golf swing if swing faults occur. Here is an article that explains all six of these mechanisms in detail: Medicus Driver. The Medicus trainer aids in attaining a Stack and Tilt movement specifically at the moment of ball impact. That is, if the golfer’s weight is positioned too far behind the ball at impact the Medicus trainer will become unhinged. This would be a pretty weird feeling to have the club break just as the ball is being hit. I doubt most golfers would want to repeat that type of thing, and in that way the Medicus almost forces the golfer to correct his swing fault.
Why Bother With All This?
The Stack and Tilt swing was promoted to facilitate hitting the golf ball squarely. If the player’s weight is to the rear, it is possible he or she will not be able to successfully transfer weight to the left side (again, for a righty). The result is an open or closed clubface at impact, depending on how the player’s body tries to compensate for the error. However, some teaching pros feel that the Stack and Tilt approach is not for everyone. Some high handicap players have too much weight towards their front foot already, and they also do not have the athletic ability to get through the ball squarely. For those players the stack and tilt is a bad idea.

Medicus Golf Training Club, one of the best golf training aids to improve your game…
There are hundreds and hundreds of different golf training aids on the market today. Golfers will spend hundreds of dollars on the latest golf devices in hope of a better golf game. Do these golf training aids work the way they are advertised? Perhaps.
There are more golf swing training aids now than ever before. They are rampant and golfers chomp at the bit when a new one comes out. The only problem is are they effective at curing your swing fault. Here are a couple of golf swing training aids:
* The Medicus Golf Club is a swing trainer that is specific to many swing faults and can give you instant feedback. It has been around for a very long time and has been approved by Mark O'Meara for many years.
* Golf swing plane training devices can specifically help you get a feel for the proper swing plane for your body size. These also have stood the test of time and are used on many driving ranges as a learning tool.
* Putting is no doubt one of the most important parts of the golf game. That’s why another essential golf training aid that will benefit your golf game is some type of putting trainer. There certainly many to choose from, but pick one that specifically addresses your putting shortcomings.
* A putting track is a great golf instruction. This contraption helps keep your putter in a straight motion and really can improve your putting skills by giving stability to your putting stroke.
* Many people have seen golf putting mats, and they can be good training devices for your putting game. These are just mats – usually made of astro turf with holes or cups at the end that simulate a putting green. The golf putting mat is a great way to work on your putting game in the cold months when you can’t get on the course!
Finally, you may want to use a golf training aid to improve your golf swing speed. There are also many of these out on the market, but keep in mind that swing speed isn’t everything. A good, efficient, golf stroke is smooth and calculated and doesn’t necessarily depend wholly on the speed of your stroke so much as your form and strength.
There are many, many golf training devices available to help what’s ailing in your golf game. Some of them undoubtedly do help, but others prove ultimately to be a waste of money as well as time when using them. Do some investigation on golf training aids and choose wisely. Then, you can watch your golf game improve!
Your golfing tempo is the key to having a perfect golf game, every time. However, like baseball or any other sport, if you fall out of your swinging, or playing, tempo than the end result will be nothing more than a mess.
The loss of tempo can happen because of many variables; however, the number one reason is tension in your body. By loosing your tempo, you aren’t necessarily loosing the technique of the swing, actually the physical technique can be perfect but without the correct tempo technique means nothing.
If you are having golfing tempo problems, a golf training device can be the cure to get your swing back on tempo.
