From: larry on 10 Jul 2007 14:04 http://www.tempomaster.com/videos/commercialrender.wmv I have come around (again) to believe that this is still the best training aid for beginners and even for most handicap golfers. If your problem continues to be lagging back and too often hitting OTT, learning to hit one of these clubs consistently straight is the cure. However, it is NOT easy! I wouldn't be surprised to learn that at least half of those who buy this training club fail to learn to hit it straight. They just give up. The clubs come with a video and brochure that describe a very good set of drills, the same drills recommended for regular golf clubs, BTW. Fundamentals are still fundamentals and they apply to all clubs. Like learning arithmetic before Calculus, the skills required to swing correctly (hit a Whippy) must be accomplished sequentially, so you can build upon them. If you have ingrained poor habits, become handsy, right side dominance, inability to get off your back foot, etc. these skills will feel totally foreign. Even if you persist (and most won't) that can take weeks of practice sessions on the range. AND, during this period, every time you play and revert to what you were doing before, you risk losing what you have gained. But it will be worth it for those who persist. Watch this clip as Dr. Melvin demonstrates some of the drills. I recommend the 5i first. http://tempomaster.com/videos/irons.wmv Their web site is http://tempmaster.com You will see many good videos there, especially the long drive champions hitting them 300+ with the Whippy driver.

Heaven forbid discussing a serious training aid. But I get tired of arguing about Al Queda, etc. The half dozen flaming libs here are so predictable that I could write their posts. Larry |
