The Golf Swing Help Site recently announced a new endorsement, the Dual Hinge Medicus 5 Iron Golf Swing Trainer, aimed at greatly improving the golf swing mechanics of its clients.
Nishal Singh, affiliate manager of the Golf Swing Help Site and experienced golfer, is excited about the wide range of products recommend on his site. He knows firsthand that the Medicus line of trainers are effective as his own handicaps were cut in half after using the Medicus golf clubs, particularly the Dual Hinge Medicus 5 Iron Golf Swing Trainer.

Ben Hogan once explained the reason for his slow motion practice swings by saying, “At this pace I can control the golf club and everything in my swing. Whenever I’m working on something I always do it in slow motion. That way I can monitor what I am doing.”
Likewise those using the Dual Hinge Medicus 5 Iron Golf Swing Trainer will quickly learn that it requires the golfer to move extremely slowly in order to identify the golf swing mechanics that need improvement. Any issue in tempo or plane will result in the club breaking, forcing the golfer to take the time to identify what aspect of the golf swing mechanics need improvement. With practice and patience the Dual Hinge Medicus 5 Iron Golf Swing Trainer can dramatically improve the golf swing.

Frank, the question I have concerns equipment, right up your alley! In my pre-game warm-up I use either a weighted club, which can be used to hit the ball, and/or a weighted club NOT designed to hit the ball. Medicus is a popular brand name for both. I find that during a slow round the weighted club could help keep me loose and even with the one that you CAN hit a ball, it is a practice/development club and would never be used in play. However, recently I wondered about whether the club “counts” or not.

Most of the time I go back to the parking lot before the round, but if time is short I simply set it in the back of the car “out of play” style. Do I NEED to take it back to the car before play?

Most golfers reading this article have most likely seen the Medicus infomercial featuring Camilo Villegas and the Medicus PowerMax weighted driver.  The purpose of this article is to expand and explain further the importance of why golfers should implement this training aid into their practice, especially with the golf offseason looming.

Let’s first address the question of, “How does the PowerMax work and how will it help me in creating more swing speed, power and thus distance?”

Almost all golfers have heard the saying that, “Impact is the “Moment of Truth” in the golf swing.”  Possibly fewer golfers have heard that, “Impact is not a stopping point but should be considered a location that the swing must pass through.”  But what does this truly mean and how does it relate to power, distance and the PowerMax?

Without going into those identities which create power or are power sources, the failure of the golfer to swing all the way through destroys all chances to accomplish their personal maximum clubhead speed.  Most golfers become so “Impact Happy” that in their effort to hit the ball they induce a quitting motion through impact and thus a power loss.  Please keep in mind though that one should not sacrifice accuracy for power but the good news is that both can be accomplished with clear understanding, education, correct tools, and a plan for building ones golf swing.

This is how the Medicus PowerMax Weighted Driver will assist golfers in increasing clubhead speed and thus distance.  As mentioned above, the golfer needs to swing all the way through impact and the PowerMax Weighted Driver aids in accomplishing precisely that.  Due to the unique design of the PowerMax, including the overall weight and its placement, it makes it harder for the golfer to slowdown so it then begins to train the golfer to acquire the feel of through the ball.  In our Medicus Swingology Golf teaching, training, and in a correct golf motion, all golf swings (including putting and chipping) need to go to both arms straight and the PowerMax ingrains that feel into the golfer’s total motion.

Other attributes of distance is ones strength, flexibility, arm and hand speed.  The overall weight of the PowerMax will aid in building strength and flexibility when used daily in a planned workout.  The other unique feature of the design is that you can use the PowerMax in the comfort of your own home but you can also take it to the driving range and actually hit golf balls with it.

Remember that for power and distance the golfer must get the clubhead going at the best controllable speed and sustain it through impact with everything they have.  It is clubhead speed that determines the separation rate or how fast the ball leaves the clubface.

Here is the formula for distance, speed and thus power and distance:  70% of approach speed + 100% of separation speed is going to equal the ball speed.  This is all true unless you lose compression on the golf ball and that is where, how and why Medicus Swingology Alignments must be introduced.  The clubhead needs to be traveling as fast as possible at separation because as the formula states, you will get 100% of that speed.  You must simply have clubhead speed to be a long hitter.  No amount of effort will change it for speed alone is what determines that rate.

So the only way to gain distance is to keep the clubhead going and do not lose compression into the golf ball.  It’s not so much that you lose compression it’s just that you do not get it.

So what is a golfer to do? Get the hands moving back and forth with the intention of going all the way through and not stalling or slowing down at and through impact. Then begin to add those elements which contribute to good impact and in particular a flat left wrist. Back and forth and back and forth with a flat left wrist and then begin to learn too roll the hands over and over again all the way through the shot and without a ball. Now add the ball with the same intention and attention given to not quitting and total focus on the TOTAL Motion making the shot.

The above is the foundation and start point for creating power and without this basic application one will continue to hack at the ball.  Once this is accomplished one then can proceed in understanding other identities which contribute to power which includes power sources, being in shape, hand and arm speed with focus on improving all without a sacrifice of Swingology Alignments which is a major contributor of Power.

If golfers see the results of a flat left wrist, swinging all the way through and begin instilling that feel into their golf swings and game, they have no other choice but to improve.

The Medicus us Dual Hinge Driver is made to correct your swing when you are driving the ball. I love to drive so should I get this? Is it worth it.

I have read some reviews and it is almost a 50 50 thing. There are pros and cons to it.

P.s. I would get lessons BUT I have school and I do other sports and it would be too hard for me to organize lessons and different times, and I don’t always have a ride to the golf course, so at this time I can not get lessons, it is too inconvenient.

Ok, I own the medicus single hinge one and here is the deal. It is a good investment because it gives you instant feedback. BUT, here is the key, if you do not know what to do to change what is wrong with your swing and why the club “breaks” when you do something wrong, then the feedback is useless.

In otherwords, you can keep telling me I am doing something wrong, but if I do not know how to fix it, what good is that.

All in all though, it does get you to swing on plain, and it does promote good form. I would get it if I were you, but don’t expect results like on the infomercial.

I went to visit my dad over the weekend and he showed me his latest purchase in his never ending quest to perfect his golf swing.  He picked up a Medicus training club and it actually seemed pretty neat.  It has two hinges in the shaft.  The idea is that if your golf swing deviates from the correct form, the club will bend at one of the hinges.  If you do everything properly it will stay straight all the way through.  When you get good at it, you can actually hit a ball with it.

I bought myself a treat yesterday. We’ll call it a late Father’s Day gift or an early Christmas present. Anyway, I finally picked up a Powermaximus. I’ve had my eye on them for awhile. For those of you who don’t know, they are a weighted club, made by Medicus.

With hard work I have been able to really straighten out my drive, but I am just not getting the distance I want. The Powermaximus Driver is supposed to help with swing speed among other things, so I am hoping it will help me hit farther off the tee. It is a hittable swing trainer so I plan on taking out the to driving range. I have heard good things and some of the pros swear by it so we will see how it goes. I suppose a few reps on the bench press would do me some good as well. I’ll let you know how it goes.

You want to become a better golfer—you have the drive, motivation and stamina. You think you have what it takes to be a golf pro. Except for one thing… your swing needs improvement. Don’t worry, many golfers face the same problems but there is a solution. Now is the perfect time to get some golf training clubs to make those improvements.

Golf training clubs are said to be the number one training aids in the world. They’re literally fool-proof since the only way to know if you are swinging correctly is to make sure the hinge doesn’t bend. Golf training clubs will improve everything from your posture, to your stance, and your swing—all in one shot. But, there real key is to practice, practise and practise. So, all you need to do is get some golf training clubs and swing away.

3 reasons to get some golf training clubs:

1. You can literally mimic your physical movement with weighted resistance, thus improving your strength as well as your swing. Also, golf training clubs train the golfer to drive at greater distances than ever before. This is because you are training those muscles necessary to play golf, using many repetitions with the same or even greater range of motion.

2. Golf training clubs also promote a greater range of motion in the backswing and follow through. If you are trying to improve golf flexibility and power, golf training clubs are the way to do it. They provide greater impact on the ball, thus more driving force. Finally, you will gain greater head speed by using golf training clubs.

3. Weighted golf training clubs are an excellent way to warm up before a game. Swinging one 20 – 30 times will ensure greater flexibility in your muscles and allow your swing to be at its ultimate capacity. The greater the swing; the more power behind it.

As you can see, there are many great benefits to using golf training clubs. One popular golf training club is the Medicus. The system of this golf training club uses a hinge that when the swing is improper, the hinge bends or breaks. The only way to know that you are swinging correctly is if the hinge doesn’t bend or break.

Pros actually use golf training clubs themselves to keep flexibility at its optimal level. It’s no wonder—golf training clubs can provide all that you need to make the improvements you want in your golf game.
