Golf Swing Speed

I posted about a golf swing tool in an earlier post. Here it is:

Measure Your Golf Swing Speed with the Medicus Power Meter

Well it's useless to me... only records up to 145mp/h. Pfft.

It seems pretty neat. Risk free trial offer + free shipping is pretty enticing.

I really like it, it adds some weight to the club and makes it feel different to swing but it only takes a few swings to get used to it, the batteries dont last long but they are cheap to replace

weight

I think the weight might effect your swing with your irons and wedges but I would like to increase the club head speed with my driver. Seems like a cheap way to find out how fast you get your woods moving. I am definitely ordering one. TOO BAD IT'S FEB!

So how much does it cost? It says $19.95 but that "risk free" has me thinking there will be another $80 on your CC in 2 months.

This is exactly right. If you keep it after the 60 days, they charge you $19.95/month for the next 4 months for a grand total of $100. I'd buy one for $20 but not $100.

Smart man
Thinking the same thing myself when I saw a device that cost $80-100 anywhere else for $19.95, especially when I saw "Today" at the end. If you read the small print on the checkout you will see the following

So it basically is about $100 or more than you can find it elsewhere.

I must be one of the slowest typers on the planet.

That is terrible

I'm sorry if anyone went ahead and bought that product thinking it was $19.99. That is some misleading marketing. Hard to believe you can get away with that....

I'd still rather have a doppler radar unit for ~$85. It doesn't affect the club in any way and you can measure ball speed as well as clubhead speed.

Interestingly, I had a client approach me (they make custom LCDs) about designing a "small device for measuring clubhead speed and impact data" by using a thin strain gauge mounted to the clubhead. When I asked for more details it appears that it was Medicus. They said they had a device designed by someone else (probably this very device as they described something just like it) and wanted to take that packaging and add more clubhead/ball data -- basically a mini-launch monitor that attached to the club. Whether it was going to be a club supplied by Medicus (swing trainer) or user attached I am not sure but I could see a lot of problems with a user mounting something like that on their driver.

I gave them a quick proposal but they decided the development would be too expensive. I suspect they'll get some company in China to do it cheap. What they were wanting was a LOT of research and development work but I wouldn't be surprised to see Medicus market a product like this sometime in the next year or two.

I have been to shops and know my speed

It would just be nice to have something to take to the range so I could work on my swing and swing speed. I think I will go with some sort of launch monitor.
