I bought the next size up cause I was after larger gains and I'm pretty athletic. The heavier model wasn't a bother for me anyways.


Another thing that was relly noticeable for me when using the SC for the first time was how s..l..o..w.. my takeaway was. If you don't have a little pace to your takeaway, the chain just hangs vertical and you can't load up much resistance.
That is an excellent point sonic. It is important to keep the chain tight throughout the swing. If one has an extremely slow backswing, it will produce slack in the chain. Same thing happens if one has a big pause in the transition from backswing to downswing.

It is really interesting to watch really good players swing the chain for the first time, as well as high handicappers. The good player swings it really good pretty much right away. The higher handicapper struggles a little to start with because their swing is somewhat out of whack. But they learn when they stick with it.
