The total cost, including shipping came to $37.90!
Was it worth it? It does work, no question
I totally agree about the cost issue...probably cost less than $2 to make for the device itself... I got the elbow version as well and that cost similair and doesn't come with a video!

I guess the bottom line is that it does work and does help improve left wrist positions throughout the stroke. I guess its like the MasterCard commercial -- Cheap velcro and poorly constructed strap...$38 Green in regulation...priceless. Well have to see if that really happens!

Tic Tac Elobw
Keith

I am curious about the tic tac elbow and how your using it. There is no video on it and I am trying to figure out if it has any value especially in a hitting pattern. Another right elbow device is the Right link first put out by leadbetter and I was wondering if you know how the tic tac compares?

Thanks
Dave

Elbow Tic Tac
I have had this for awhile and it is a great device for making sure you have extensor action in your swing. If you do then your left elbow (if you are right handed) will not cause it to "click" until well after both arms straight.

To be honest with you I haven't used it in awhile even though I keep it in my trunk. I really like the tic tac devices cause they are easy to use and they give you instant feedback...it has really helped me with the FLW (out of the 3 imperatives this is the only 1 that I am fairly consistent with).

I haven't tried the right link so I can't really compare it, but I think the tic tac elbow can be used with a hitting pattern to make sure you have extensor action.

I am not sure you endorse the elbow plane product (whatever that means) or it helped you to the point you don't really need it. I know the wrist product was very beneficial. The elbow motion is A bit more subtle in determining the bend in the bend in the backswing and the straightening of the right arm in the downswing location wise.If there is any additional infomation than you can supply going back to when you used it I would appreciate it. Sometimes I know that is hard to tell as your own swings or hits evolve.

Regards
Dave

I do endorse it (tac tic elbow) as a product that does help with 1 particular area (extensor action). I will probably go back to using it, but I haven't used many training aids lately during the season...I try to know play as much as possible and when I am at the driving range I still work on different things, but usually not with training aids, unless I know a particular one could really help.

Hope this helps,

Keith

Thanks for the input. I tend to do the same thing in having good training aids and then start playing and don't use them when I should.
