Let me introduce you to the world of Medicus Golf...These clubs have completely turned my game around, no more slicing or hooking the ball and continuously finishing last I can now give my friends a run for their money on the golf course and its all thanks to the Medicus Golf Training Aid Range. Instead of my scores growing, its my bank balance that is looking healthier as the money I am saving on golf tuition and the small prices I have paid for my Medicus Golf Clubs. These Medicus Training Clubs have been the best investment I have made.

This will not be the first article that you will read about the quality of the Medicus Training Aid Range and I am sure it will not be the last..... But here is my take on the one of the more popular and revolutionary Training Aids used to improve golfers everywhere of all abilities!!!

THE MEDICUS DRIVER, THE BEST SELLING TRAINING AID EVER......

Use the Medicus Driver a golf club which has been chosen by golf pros as the Number 1 swing trainer club in the world. The NEW 460cc Over sized head is one of Medicus' biggest and best driver swing trainers. This golf club makes it easier to use on the range and hit live balls. Join the half a million amateur golfers and thousands of pros and loose your slice and learn to start hitting straighter shots which in turn will lead to you shooting lower scores around the golf course. Once you start swinging without breaking the Medicus Driver you know you are swinging in tempo and on plane. All that is left now is to see your golf game improve!!

Sound too good to be true..... It works... It has for me!!

The patented Medicus Dual Hinge on the Medicus Driver gives you instant feedback when you are swinging incorrectly so you can identify the flaws in your swing and work on where you are going wrong.

Medicus Golf knows that everyone has heard claims such as " the best on the market, guaranteed to lower your score, improve your game etc.etc..." so they went on to prove that their products actually can improve your golf game as they knew they could and would so instead of just having a slogan saying it they went on to demonstrate it scientifically. They approached TaylorMade and their TaylorMade Performance Lab and they agreed to perform testing on the Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver.

What TaylorMade Golf did was to randomly select 20 golfers and their baseline swings were measured in the Lab. They then re-measured the same golfers after 15-20 minutes practice with the Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver.

The results were astounding...What emerged was that three quarters of the group gained additional swing speed and a full third realising a dramatic increase. One golfer in the group increased her swing from approx 53 to 63 mph.

This is just one of the many golf clubs in their vast training aid range and the first purchase I made from the Medicus Range but not my last...

In fact about a couple of dozen PGA Tour pros have adopted this swing technique. But first of all we need to discuss what the Stack and Tilt golf swing is and subsequently what are its advantages and disadvantages.

The Stack and Tilt Golf Swing

In a nutshell, the Stack and Tilt golf swing advocates that a golfer's weight should remain toward the front and not shift to the back during the swing. Another way to look at it is that the head should remain in the same place during the swing. Some golfers have the tendency to "sway" during the golf swing, and in fact this works for some players. But it can only be effective if the golfer can have his club hit the ground at the right spot consistently and if the proper weight transfer occurs which will allow the player to hit the ball squarely. In fact some teaching pros advocate moving the body backward during the swing, especially with the driver, and keeping the body weight and the head position behind the ball in order to generate more power.

The Stack and Tilt requires almost the opposite in body position. That is, most of the weight is on the left side, say perhaps 60%, and remains there during the backswing. If you can picture a stick being placed in the ground that touches the golfer's left hip, his left side should remain touching against that stick throughout the swing. This would be for a right handed golfer, and the opposite would be the case for a lefty. If a player swings in such a fashion, his shoulders will be lined up vertically at the top of the backswing and "stacked" over the left hip (again for a right handed golfer). Since the body has turned and the player's back is more or less facing the target, his spine will necessarily tilt somewhat. So that is where the "Stack and Tilt" expression comes from. It would seem to be easier to just think about keeping the head in the same place and making the swing after setting up with about 60% of the player's weight on the front foot.

How Does the Medicus Trainer Facilitate the Stack and Tilt?

The Medicus trainer helps a golfer who wants to emulate the Stack and Tilt swing. The Medicus Trainer has been specifically designed to break, or become unhinged, at six different parts of the golf swing if swing faults occur. Here is an article that explains all six of these mechanisms in detail: Medicus Driver. The Medicus trainer aids in attaining a Stack and Tilt movement specifically at the moment of ball impact. That is, if the golfer's weight is positioned too far behind the ball at impact the Medicus trainer will become unhinged. This would be a pretty weird feeling to have the club break just as the ball is being hit. I doubt most golfers would want to repeat that type of thing, and in that way the Medicus almost forces the golfer to correct his swing fault.

Why Bother With All This?

The Stack and Tilt swing was promoted to facilitate hitting the golf ball squarely. If the player's weight is to the rear, it is possible he or she will not be able to successfully transfer weight to the left side (again, for a righty). The result is an open or closed clubface at impact, depending on how the player's body tries to compensate for the error. However, some teaching pros feel that the Stack and Tilt approach is not for everyone. Some high handicap players have too much weight towards their front foot already, and they also do not have the athletic ability to get through the ball squarely. For those players the stack and tilt is a bad idea.
