Well I have always just used dowel rods for tracing,
It really has shown me that what I thought was correct wasn't, in the beginning my laser was pointing to far beyond the plane line, this was also happening during down stroke.
I was roundhousing into the ball and arching my left wrist, the wrist bar was really pushing up against my left forearm too hard.
For me personally I have been able to feel the correct left arm flying wedge and stop from arching my left wrist which is a big deal for me.
Have you taugth Brian or John recently???
Did they have the smart stick with them?
Talked to John on the phone last night (before your post came in). He mentioned in passing that he likes the product and uses it "every now and then" to verify his alignments.
Brian learned of it through John, and we talked about it over the phone one evening last month (before he had the product). While on the phone, at my suggestion, he rigged up a makeshift version using a club and coathanger. I have talked with him a couple of times since then, but the SmartStick was never mentioned.
So is someone going to spill the beans on the coathanger ,tape ,laser etc thingumagig.
I want one
Help is on the way, Neil!
We've spent many an hour together, and I'll be teaching in your neck of the woods [Orlando] the last week of this month. Also, during the week of the PGA Show next month. I'll shoot you a PM for a dinner date...my treat!
We'll talk then about 'home grown' training aids, and no doubt, about a lot of other things, too. Just like we did at Old Waverly in '06 after your late arrival due to that very rough and scary airplane flight. Hang on Sloopy!

Now, how could I refuse! Don't forget Boss, you always have a refuge in Orlando-AND a GOLF COURSE!!!
Hey Ed after spending a couple days with you at the Barclay's you should know that you cannot even buy the lasers for less than $160.00 for the 2 lasers. Do your homework and then apologize. No stick for you???

Amazing how many trianing aids are TGM Inspired whether they know it or not, but it appears this one has some TGM background!
Sorting Through the Instructor's Textbook.

B-Ray,
I had the opportunity to observe Martin Hall last year for a day. Without a doubt he teaches "The Machine". He had a "prototype" of this a year ago. Green lasers and PCP pipe. Most training aids are developed by one person, and given to a top instructor to endorese. I give this one a lot of merit because the person endorsing it, is also the creator. And not to mention...one hell of an instructor!
