Money List Winner
As the title says. Trouble was it was straight after my round this morning.
The 'club' (you can't actually hit any balls on this thing), weighs a ton! You can't just snap the take-away quickly which is good, if you did you'll bust your shoulder. You don't have to swing hard at all, the weight of the 'club' does it for you. What it does teach you is swing plane. It felt very alien to me, I have a constant tendency to take-away on the inside, so this device made it feel like I was taking away on the out side to me, very weird.
After a few minutes of this, my duff shoulder wouldn't take much more, I was handed a 6 iron and told to set up. When I was, the pro put this inflatable 'T' in behind me. If I hit it I was taking the club back on the inside line again.
After the Explanar the 6 iron felt light as a feather. The range balls were flying, and I wasn't trying to nail them. Carry was over 150, and a few were 170/180!! and much straighter, with a decent flight shape. I'd normally allow 140 inc roll out for a 6 iron on the course.
Okay, it hasn't solved all of my problems, the list is endless. Alignment, face angle (open / closed), timing, follow through and finish position. But it has given me a bit more confidence about my own abilities.
Would I buy one? At £600, no. That's a lot of lessons. Would I recommend that others should get a lesson on one? Yes, and not just the high h'cappers.
My shoulders feeling it now though, and I have more games on Mon at East Horton again, Weds at East Devon Golf Club, Thurs at Teignmouth and next Saturday at Leatherhead!!
Bummer being outta work.
