medicus driver

[greebs]

anybody tried one or know anybody that has? their commercial seems to be speaking to me. I feel like I can hit my irons good but my driver nearly always gets me in trouble with the slice.

I play once a week or so and typically shoot anywhere from 43 - 53 on a par 35 9 hole course so have quite a bit of room for improvement and think that if I could keep my drives on the par 4 and 5 holes on the fairway, it would help me considerably. Of course I could simply use my 5 iron on those holes but what fun is that?

My dad donated a few Medicus drivers and irons to my brothers high school golf team. I tried the driver out before, and wasn't too impressed with it. Although, if you do have problems keeping your swing on an even plane, than this might help you self-correct. I personally would save the $100 or whatever they are, and just make a few visits to the club pro.

I agree with Ted. Although it may help, i think the money would be better used by going to a pro.

Not real big fan of the Medicus although it is fun to try and watch others fail at it.

I am a big believer in swinging weighted clubs like the Momentus Golf Trainer. Both for off season training and during the season to warm up quickly before a round.

FORE RIGHT!....

When I was a scratch, I couldn't swing a Medicus without it breaking. Fix your clubface and you will fix your slice.

I took you fellows advice and did not purchase the medicus. instead read a lot of articles and watched a lot of golf channel tips. I spent quite a bit on lessons last year and we focused on iron play and it helped greatly but didn't want to spend $ on driver lessons this year.

anyhow, I think I figured out that I needed to bend over a little more and get my hands a little further away from my body at setup to help my swing angle so that I have a better inside out swing plane. and I figured out I didn't have a "strong" grip that I needed to change.

went to the range yesterday and I think doing that made a much better improvement than the medicus could have ever done. I think out of the 30 or so drives I hit, only one of them sliced much at all. Actually hooked a few which never used to happen but by and large I was hitting them straight almost to the 250 yard mark on the fly on a regular basis. felt great. now to just make it a habit because I've been doing it wrong for so long.

anyhow, thanks for the advice to save my money on the medicus.
