Not just flailing arround
 

Yoda turned me on to this. I think it can help anyone that uses it. Make yourself a Golfer's Flail as pictured in 2-K#4 &#5 on page 34. The Golfer's Flail is a Mr. Kelley concepts as opposed to the Standard Flail.

My Flail, however, ends where the swivel (as pictured) begins, at the left elbow. I also put a large screw in it that does not let the secondary lever move past the level (4-B-1) position, allowing for the feel of the Rhythm #3 Accumulator. It really helps. I incorportate it into almost all of my lessons. After all the number one alignment is the flat left wrist (Law of the Flail 2-K).

The Never-Fail Flail
 

The Instructor can only inform and explain. It is the Student who must absorb and apply. Good job, Drew!

Cool! OK man for a construction neophite . . .

How exactly did you construct this bad boy? I am a stoopid.

Figure 8 strap

Could you explain what the figure 8 helps fix in the golf swing.

Thanks

Gets you on plane

greatly improves pivot and zone 1 components

shows the proper hands to body relationship (more massive impact, 'connection', what Percy Boomer calls the difference between good ball strikers and great ones)

shows the correct rate of clubface closing (gets you away from swivel as a hinge action)

shows proper startup swivel

The primary benefits are for a swingers pattern

Like to know that too and PureSwing at RoverGolf
 

I would like to know more about the figure 8 strap but I can guess it is used to somehow tie the arms together for practice. On another note on FLW. I have a Tac-Tic and love it. I have used it a great deal but had some trouble hearing it sometimes (driving around in Tanks hearing loss). Anyway, I looked around and found the PureSwing at RoverGolf and love it as much or maybe more. It is a club that allows you to feel a FLW through an extension on the butt of the club. Go to RoverGolf and give it a look. No I don't own RoverGolf. I purchased the PowerAngle Pro and then decided about a month or so later to get the others and the owner gave me the package deal (when he didn't have to). Nice folks and fast service.

Also, I do have the plane lasers from Clyde and had some trouble with the lasers too. Emailed him and he sent two new lasers in less than 3 days with no problem.

I tried the 8 and really love it. One of the things devices like this I don't totally understand is It forcing me to do the right things for feel or in reality I should at address position my elbows tightlly close together to get the same results?

I like this one too
 

I like the Momentus Power Hitter too. I received it as a gift and really like that you can feel lag pressure more using a real golf swing (unlike speed stik0. You can also use it to hit balls on the range which is great (see ball flight and work on strength). Only drawback is that it takes a while to build up to hitting the recommended 20 balls. I have the 310 which my wife thought I could use (at 5 ft. 11 inches and 189 pounds).

On the upside, I don't use a glove anymore and my drives have increased about 20 yards. Of course, I now have a power draw versus my old fade but who is complaining.

By the way, I have dowels, tac-tic, impact bag, and lasers. Love them all.

Lasers
 

I fashioned a home-made style laser club, let me know what you guys think of it. Initial feeling is really good.

First I drilled a hole in the grip cap to accept a pen style laser pointer, the interference fit holds it in place and holds down the button.

Second, I've lashed another laser pointer on top of the shaft just below the grip and shimmed it so the beam aims directly at the sweet spot about 1/4" in front of the leading edge.

From there I just trace both beams along a carpet edge as a straight line.

The first couple swings were very interesting. I had a good sense of plane line tracing already from using the dowels but I never realized where the grip cap was pointing during the takeaway and after the finish swivel. Puts the shaft in a more upright plane when I monitor the cap end along the straight line.

I want to know if you guys see anythig detrimental to this type of set-up or any suggestions to improve it. I'm unsure if the laser should point at the sweet spot or closer to the shaft.
