Review: Sonic Golf System-1

By Sean ⋅ June 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

A couple months ago the people at Sonic Golf sent me one of their System-1 Golf Training Systems. I had heard about the acoustic golf learning system through the grapevine. It had created a lot of buzz at the PGA Merchandise Show and even made an appearance on The Haney Project. So, I was pretty anxious to get my hands on the device and see what it could do for my game. Let’s have a look!

Review: Power Blade

By Sean ⋅ June 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Everyone wants to add yards to their drive. You know you want to belt it 325 down the middle like Tiger. There are plenty of training aids out there on the market claiming they will add 5..10…25 yards to your drive, but most fall short in delivering on those promises. The problem generally is due to the fact that even with the greatest of training aids, you must put in the work with it to see results. So the challenge for a training aid designer is to create an effective tool that both shows results and is fun to use. Is the Power Blade the answer? We’ll find out!

Review: Refine and Accelerate

By Sean ⋅ March 4, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

Not long ago I wrote about the GyroSwing which will soon be released by SLKZ golf. They also happen to offer a few other training aid products, a couple of which caught my eye: The Refiner and Swing Accelerator. The refiner is a hinged driver which works on getting your golf swing on plane. The Swing Accelerator, on the other hand, is a weighted club which targets the distance part of your game. We will have a look at both of these devices today and see if they can help your game.

Floppy Releases New Practice Ball

By Sean ⋅ February 8, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Early last year I had a look at The Floppy, a soft indoor practice ball. I still use it to this day, chipping/flopping around the house. I have had a look at a bunch of practice balls at this point, and The Floppy is definitely the one to use inside the house. Recently the guys who created The Floppy released a new version with a more durable design and some fancy packaging. Adam, president of The Floppy, was kind enough to send along a sleeve of the new guys.

Medicus Driver

A few months ago I wrote up a review of the Momentus Power Hitter. I really enjoy working with that club. I remember when I first picked it up and took some swings, I was sore for the next three days. Now, I really feel as if I have picked up some flexibility and perhaps [...]

Gyro Swing – Feel The Correct Plane and Release

By Sean ⋅ January 29, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Of all the products shown on the Fore Inventors Only show on The Golf Channel last year, the Gyro Swing really piqued my interest. If you did not see the show, what I find revolutionary about this device is that it actually makes you feel a proper release and what it is like to be on the [...]
