Will the Medicus Trainer Really Work Well?

The Medicus driver has been extensively advertised, with several PGA stars singing praises for it and touting its various merits. But can a golf club really make that much difference on your swing, and does this product really deliver on its promise of detecting swing faults and providing instant feedback to the average amateur golfer? Let’s take a deeper look at it to see if we can prove or disprove its advertising claims. That way you can decide if the Medicus dual hinge driver is for you.

When you first handle a Medicus driver, you may find the head and lower portion a bit heavy. But because this is just a practice driver, most amateur golfers don’t really mind the extra weight. As a matter of fact, there are many who believe that working with a heavy practice driver helps in loosening up your swing, just as a weighted bat helps a baseball player prepare to take the plate. After practicing with a heavy driver, you may feel lighter and find that your regular clubs are easier to swing than before.

Hinged near the club head, the Medicus driver was developed under the premise that it will become unhinged at various points during your golf swing if the swing is not done right. There is a total of six points at which the club could break, signalling that there is something wrong with the way you execute a golf swing. These points are the breakaway, the toe up position on the backswing, at the top of the backswing, at the start of the downswing, at the ball impact point, and on the follow through.

If the club breaks at any of these points then you know that you are doing something wrong in that particular area. It could be that you are drawing the golf club back too quickly, rotating your wrists too much, or putting too much weight where you shouldn’t. Whatever the problem is, you will immediately be made aware when you are doing something wrong because the driver will break at each swing fault. This is how the immediate feedback mechanism of the Medicus driver works.

Perhaps the biggest benefit you can get out of this instant feedback feature is the fact that you can immediately identify and correct your golf swing errors and keep from doing them again and again. No matter how much you practice, it will not do you any good unless you stop committing your usual golf swing mistakes. Bear in mind that the more you commit these mistakes, they become more of a habit and get more difficult to correct in time. Using a Medicus driver is akin to having your own professional trainer, but does not cost as much as actually hiring one.

Compared to other training clubs, the Medicus is a bit more costly. But the fact that you get the same benefits as that of learning from a pro at a significantly lower cost than if you enrolled in a training program is enough reason for many golfers to want to try this out. There are also ways for you to minimise the cost of your Medicus driver. For one, you can split the cost with a few friends and share the club with them since it is meant to be used only for practice.

You could also take advantage of promotional offers like the 60-day trial period or the 20% discount and free shipping offered for online purchase. There are also added bonuses like free teaching videos and a free putter training aid. Now to answer our initial question: Does the Medicus live up to its advertising claims? Yes, it does. Just give it a try and you’ll see what we are talking about.
