Like the product but those green lasers suck up battery power pretty quick, so you have to unload and reload the batteries quite often. Had one laser die after a week and they did replace it.

I have been agonizing over a tool to help teach swing plane for a long time. After speaking with many other instructors, I decided to give the Smart Stick a try. I contacted the company through Yoda's Pro Shop.
Mr. Smart personally spoke with me via email, and I was VERY impressed by the service, and his willingness to discuss his product with me without any kind of hard sell, he just wanted to help me. When I finally decided to place the order, Mr. Smart made it very easy, and shipping was immediate. Wonderful customer service, and from what I have read, if there are ever any problems, I have no doubt he will continue to be helpful. I feel very good about the company, I know Yoda only deals with first class people.
I was a little nervous when I received the package, and didn't see instructions. I'm a mechnical idiot. I have both a hammer, and a screw driver, but I can never remember when to use which. I popped in the included DVD, and the instructions were on it. Mr. Smart walks you right through it step by step, and it's a piece of cake.
Martin Hall's instructional video makes it easy to get started. I was surprised to see there are many other uses other than just the swing plane, my primary objective.
For personal use, I LOVED it. I am trying to get rid of my Furyk like backswing, if it worked as well for me as it does Furyk, I wouldn't try to change, but it doesn't. This is the first time I have been able to feel where the club is supposed to go. It makes it so simple to develop feel through the proper mechanics, I think Mr. Kelley would approve. This is going to help my golf swing.
The next test, I used it in a teaching situation with a couple of friends. One has a hard time getting the club started down on plane. He wants to drop it under plane and gets badly "stuck" behind him. We have worked on it a lot this winter, but he couldn't get the proper feel and repeat it. After a few minutes with the Smart Stick, the proverbial light bulb went off in his head. He was all smiles for the entire session, problem solved!
Sorry for the long post. I appreciate Yoda and crew pointing me in the right direction on this training aid, and I wanted to let everyone know what a first class company Smart Stick is to deal with. Please remember to mention LBG when you contact them. You will be very happy you did!

I'm the slug friend, I think, that Kev is writing about. I've been absolutely hornswaggled with the drops. I'd swing the SS a couple times, grab a club and bingo! Swing the SS a couple times, grab a club and bingo! That thing really works. Kev's tireless efforts on my behalf are sincerely appreciated.
