There's a reason why i say the only 2 training aids you need is golf are:
tac-tic
plane laser

However i've recently added to my list, any type of inside approach and the speed stik. Yes, the speed stik....for reasons that they don't list in the informercial
I had read your thread many moons ago. I didn't question your good judgement, I was counting on it. I bought into the lasers a few years ago because they are slow-mo engrainers. I get hesitant over dynamic aids.
Re: other devices. I think the Inside Approach needs "coaching". I had the kids try them. It helped the OTT ones. But the ones who had a pretty good plane to start, tended to "take the whole bottle of aspirin". They tended to drop below plane to ensure they would get underneath. This really screwed the Hinging with the Hitter. The "orange loop" knockoff on ebay seemed to work better because it emphasizes the still head, making most compensations difficult.
For what do you use the speedstick? I borrowed the range pro's stick, but didn't like it because it doesn't hold or behave like a golf club. I got the kids a Momentus with a training grip. Not ideal, but better.
Currenty dabbling with the Whippy Tempomaster in the Hitter context. Great aide to teach transition, smoothness and use of CF for the pop culture "swing". They tout it as an exposer of right hand use (a no-no for them, the body activated arms/hands drag crowd). If you put it into the Hitter's linear drive though, it may in fact expose right hand throwaway. We'll see.
