Improve Your Golf Swing with the Medicus Driver

Every spring and summer a common ritual occurs across the Midwestern United States.  Men and women begin pulling their golf clubs out of the garage and start dusting them off hoping they haven’t lost whatever golf swing they may have had.  Many haven’t taken the opportunity to swing for several months.  As a result, those first few rounds of the season can be extremely frustrating setting the tone for another mediocre year of golf.

It need not be that way.  I was first introduced to the Medicus line of products while on a golf trip in South Carolina this past January.  One of the golfers on our trip was swinging the Medicus Dual Hinge 5 Iron.  I really didn’t understand it at the time, but he took a few minutes to explain how it worked.  I swung it around next to the clubhouse for a few minutes without even hitting any balls and proceeded to have my best day of the trip by about 10 strokes.  I even won just over $70 that day compared to the same total for the previous 5 days.  It stunk that this occurred on the final day of the trip.

The most common swing problem for amateur golfers is the slice with over 80% of new golfers experiencing this result.  There are several flaws in the golf swing that will lead to a slice.  The Medicus line of products including the Medicus Driver and the Medicus 5 Iron can help cure several of these common flaws.  The Medicus Driver will help you improve your swing plane.  Most golfers that slice will have a more vertical swing plane that will result in an out-to-in swing path through the striking area.  This is also referred to as “swinging over the top”.  The out-to-in swing path causes side spin of the golf ball leading to a slice and reducing distance.  The Medicus Driver also helps to close the club face at impact and improves the overall tempo of the golf swing again reducing slice and adding distance to your drives.

The principle behind this particular golf swing training aid lies in the two hinges built into the shaft of the club.  After your initial set up, if you take the club away too quickly, the hinge will break the shaft.  You need to have a nice, smooth take away which will lead to a better, more relaxed tempo.  You also need to rotate your forearms properly halfway through the backswing to keep the shaft from breaking.  Finally, you need to begin your downswing in the same plane as your backswing without swinging “over the top” or the shaft will break down again.  The end result is a smooth, steady swing in a more horizontal swing plane with the appropriate forearm rotation leading to an inside-to-outside swing path without an open club face in the impact zone.

After those few moments of swinging the Medicus 5 Iron, I noticed that my tempo had improved dramatically.  I was swinging my clubs in a smoother and more relaxed manner.  The end result was that I was able to decrease the amount of my slice and keep the ball in the fairway instead of hitting out of the rough or taking a penalty out of bounds.  In fact, I hit 10 out of 14 fairways and those I missed was only by a small amount.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic.  I haven’t been able to golf as much this summer as I had hoped which is usually the way it is with kids at home.  But I do plan on asking for a Medicus for Christmas this year so that if nothing else, I can swing the club in the garage before next year’s South Carolina trip and play better from day one.
