Medicus Golf Club Article- The 6 Break Points

Is the Medicus Golf Club a Hoax, or Can the Thing Really Help? The 6 Break Points

Medicus Driver Improves all aspects of your swing from the takeaway to downswing.

Helpful- Or a Useless Gadget?

Every golfer has seen some of the videos of the Medicus golf club in action. Usually these clips are showing the Medicus dual hinged driver, although there is also a Medicus 5 iron and a 7 iron model. For years I wondered if this strange looking contraption was really helpful or if it was just a useless gadget.

The theory behind the

Medicus golf clubs is that the clubs are hinged near the club head, and if a golfer’s swing is not correct and in the proper plane, the club will unhinge, or break at various points during the golf swing.

At First the Medicus Golf Club Feels Funny

When you pick up a Medicus golf club the first impression is that the head of the club feels heavy. This is after all a training tool, and no doubt the weight of the head and the hinged area near it are critical in making the club break or unhinge when a golfer’s swing is off. After hitting some golf balls with the Medicus club, however, the heavy head is not a big deal. In fact the Medicus company offers another training club which is nothing more than a very heavy driver. This club allegedly loosens up the swing and makes the normal driver feel lighter, a bit like a baseball player who swings a weighted bat to warm up in the batter’s box prior to coming to the plate with his normal bat.

The 6 Break Points of the Swing

The Medicus golf club is designed to break at the hinge if there are swing faults in 6 different parts of the swing. These are the take away, what is called the toe up position during the backswing, at or near the top of the backswing, the start of the downswing, the ball impact area, and the follow through. The discussion below will go into what swing faults can cause the Medicus golf club to break at each of these swing points.

Medicus Golf Club Break Point Number One- The Take Away

Learning how to keep the Medicus golf club from breaking at the hinges during this portion of the swing might be the best lesson that the Medicus clubs teach. The major cause of having the club break here is that the golfer is taking the club back too fast. The backswing should begin low and slow and the backswing should also begin with the driver being taken back by the arms and shoulders and not a break of the wrists. So many high handicap golfers take the club back very quickly using their wrists and hands, and it is no wonder they remain high handicappers and never improve. Learning how to start the backswing with the Medicus driver such that it does not break a foot or so behind the ball is probably the biggest single thing a golfer can do to improve his swing and hit better drives. For people who have this problem and who can learn to cure it using a Medicus golf training club, the price of the club is money well spent for this reason alone. Correcting this swing flaw is bound to give better results, and we have not yet even considered the other sections of the golf swing where problems can occur.
