Medicus Club Break Point Number Two- The Toe-Up Position

During the backswing the toe of the driver will point upwards at about the time the club is at waist high.  The Medicus club is designed to detect swing flaws here caused by the wrists being too over-rotated or too under-rotated.  Also, the golfer’s shoulder rotation should be fairly steep as opposed to being horizontal.  If the latter issue occurs, the Medicus club will break, as it
will for over or under rotated wrists.

Medicus Club Break Point Number Three- During the Backswing

There are several reasons why the Medicus golf club will break at or near the top of the backswing.  If the face angle of the Medicus is too open at the top of the swing the club will unhinge towards the rear.  Contrarily, if the face angle is too closed at that point the Medicus will break towards the front.  The Medicus golf club trainer will not break at the top of the backswing only if the face of the club is square.  In addition, the Medicus will break if the golfer’s swing plane is incorrect.  That is, if the club is too far forward or too far to the rear at the top of the backswing, the Medicus will become unhinged. 

Medicus Club Break Point Number Four- During the Downswing

At the beginning of a proper downswing the wrists should remain cocked and the golfer’s arms should remain close to his body and not be thrust outwards.  If the wrists are quickly uncocked, as if casting a fishing rod, for example, the Medicus golf club will become unhinged and break.  It will also break if the golfer tends to throw his arms out farther behind him.

Medicus Club Break Point Number Five- Impact

Some golfers have the habit of moving their weight towards the rear during the downswing.  If this movement becomes too severe the Medicus club will break.  The “stack and tilt” swing has been in vogue for some time now, and many PGA pros have started to use the technique.  Basically this means that the golfer’s head should stay in same position during his backswing and it should not move to the rear.  In addition, his body weight should be kept toward his left side (for a right handed player) during his swing, or at least his weight should stay centered.  Moving the player’s weight to the rear causing his weight to be substantially behind the club head is a fault that the Medicus has been designed to detect. 

Medicus Club Break Point Number Six- Follow Through

The Medicus golf club will unhinge if a golfer swings his club around his body like a baseball hitter.  In the player has a follow through that remains on-plane, the club will not break.  This swing fault normally results in golfers losing quite a bit of distance, so improvement gained by using the Medicus during the follow-through will help golfers hit the ball farther and straighter.

The Bottom Line- The Medicus Club Can Indeed Be Helpful

If you have a swing that causes the Medicus driver to break, you can improve your swing and probably your scores by buying and practicing with a Medicus club.  This is especially true if you cause the club to break during the take-away early in the swing.  In this case spending the money is definitely worth it.  Even if you correct your swing faults, hitting some balls every few weeks with the Medicus will tell you if you are back to the same old (bad) habits.  If the cost of the Medicus makes you hesitant, think about sharing the club with a golfing buddy or a golfing relative.
