I can't remember Tom coming on here to sell his product in the same vain as you do. I don't know how he got to Barclay but he was a perfect fit working with Hull, Noel, Castner, Fort, and EdZ. Maybe you should take a lesson in marketing from him. Lynn once handed out a small laser that you pinched with pp#3 finger to traced the plane line- in fact you can just point at it and run back and forth to train your right forearm tracing- cheaper still.

Over and Out.

monitor you hands- forget the clubface, - the hands are boss (and right in front of you)
Right on! You can use all the dowels and sticks but it just isn't the same feel as monitoring the sweetspot (#3) with a real club in your hands. I am probably one of the all time best laser plane line pointers but unfortunately there is so much more to a good strike then simply pointing a laser at the plane line.

Understood, mb, and I agree. But, first . . .

You must learn to Swing the Hands! Only then should you add the Club "to develop its TOTAL equivalent in Lag Pressure Point Feel" (Homer Kelley / 5-0).

Fortunately, a wide variety of training aids exists to bridge the gap between Swinging the Hands and Swinging the Club. And that is exactly the way we attacked the problem with all the 'Left Wrist Benders' at The Barclays.
