      isn't this like using the butt end of the grip as a guide? It looks like that to me anyway, as if the bottom of the grip handle is leading the way

    • @terrystephens7479
      @terrystephens7479 4 месяца назад +1

      The length of pipe is not 40”. 40 refers to schedule 40 rigidity, the thickness of the pipe walls.

      Having similar results myself …this “idea“ created with the pvc& lights along with keeping elbows in and rolling arms down with wrist(left wrist ) sort of closed ( closed meaning fingers closer to inside of wrist like arm wrestling move)through contact has stopped my insane slice and or snap hook/topped type strikes ….its really hard to overcome my 34 yr old bad swing and i havent mastered it by any means yet …but using this as a gauge /starting point i dont need to carry 5-10 different swing thoughts at address.which when adjusting i can just slightly tweak 1 thing at a time with little thought ,decide if its the way to go or not and find “my swing “ (correct swing) quite a bit faster ..right now its a matter of weakening my grip back from my crazy strong grip ive developed over the years… which is another new feeling to overcome/get ingrained which is clumsy at the moment ,but so far has made overall dramatic improvement quicker …for me this is huge

    It was a bit more expensive to purchase the Maglite in Australia $40 each light
    But so worth every cent.
    Every night i walk past it i have a little swing.
    Being a long time golfer but taken it up again now in my sixtys, i wish i came across this 30 years ago.

    I made one! I did an extra step that adds a measure of confidence- I drilled the PVC - first a pilot hole using the hole in the butt end of the maglight as a guide, about four inches up the pipe - then a slightly larger through hole, and after taping and inserting the flashlight I threaded a small zip-tie through the pipe and the little hole on the back of the flashlight inside the tube- 100% prevention for the light from ever sliding out.
    My beam was all over the place and I wasn't hinging well - nice optical feedback! Will see what happens from here.

    Hack for this tool... Most aluminum broom handles seem to be 3/4". If you have a pipe cutter, it is pretty easy to cut one to length. A little electrical tape around each end to hide any sharp edges and you're good to go. Bonus is aluminum's malleability...pinch each end a bit after you put each flashlight in and they are less likely to fly out when you add a little speed. I haven't added a lot of speed yet, but it feels pretty snug. I'll let you know if I break anything!

    Love this aid as I'm a 10 handicapper and sometimes overswing and come over the top. This helps me with muscle memory and sends my swing down the target line. I made a modification to mine as I wanted to make a full swing. I used a hacksaw to cut a 1-1/4 inch slit with a V shape down the middle of the PVC on both sides. Put the electrical tape on the flashlight as in the video and placed it in the PVC. Then, used a zip tie to act as a clamp to hold the flashlight in on the bottom of the shaft. Make sure the zip tie is very tight and towards the end of the PVC shaft. You can use a hose clamp or spring clamp instead of the zip tie. Now I can swing away.

    I absolutely loved this video and your presentation. I'm a firm if not obsessive believer that building the correct/perfect plane will also build the perfect swing motion and resulting clubhead path. Your light sabre is absolutely perfect for teaching players how to move every body part or muscle group correctly through the entire swing motion matrix. You truly are a Jedi golf master and I thank you for showing me how to make it and use it. It's the capstone that holds the entire "build the plane, build the swing" method or philosophy if you like, together! Thanks again.

    I constructed mine with 1/2" sch 40 PVC using Mini Mag lights with 2 each AAA battery's , (smaller diameter butt end) electricians friction tape, and a gripped end to simulate a regular shafted club by using tennis racket grip wrap (very thin) all from "Lowes" where they sell the pipe in a shorter than 10' length.

    That was a super learning video!! I have my equipment ordered. I need to check how long are the canes on the floor and how far apart are they when you lay them down?? Thank you so much and happy new year!!!

      That part doesn’t matter, you just need a long target line. A single long piece of tape along the ground in a straight line works perfectly

      I bought a 3/4 pvc pipe and the mag lite mini and the entire flashlight slides through the hole. 😩
