Hi Andy, just seen this.
I bought the Gem a while ago on the basis of Steve Johnston’s video. I didn’t really get it and it also didn’t seem to fit with what my coach was teaching me, so it stayed in the drawer.
Then a couple of months ago, I took it on the range for no better reason than I thought it might help with my takeaway.
The results were ridiculous and like you, it blew my mind. I instantly gained 10 yards with my 6 iron.
I took it to my coach to try to get an understanding of why it had such an impact and he dismissed it as a device for over the top slicers. As you’ve pointed out the balance aspect means it works both ways.
So I’ve been reflecting on this myself and have landed on this conclusion: my coach, along with the majority of PGA professional teachers in my experience believes in lag, more specifically, that the student should try to hold on to lag or create a lag position usually with radial deviation which in turn will induce better rotation.
Trouble is, I believe the Gem teaches a feel which is the opposite of holding on to lag as you have concluded. The Gem teaches the correct release of trail wrist extension, and that that release starts earlier in the DS than we are commonly taught. Jack Nicklaus said that ‘you can’t release too early’ [assuming other fundamentals are in place] and the simple fact is, the Gem not only illustrates this feeling but it turns a lot of modern coaching on its head.
And the strange thing is, I’ve found that the feeling of allowing myself to release trail hand wrist extension as early as I like frees up the whole swing. And I get more lag! By not trying to hold lag I actually get lag because I get a better sensation of where that point should be.
I think this is because one’s brain does the addition for you. It knows where you want the low point to be, so it doesn’t apply the release until the optimal point. By not trying to hang on to extension to that point and just letting it happen, it happens.
I’ve now got to find a coach that gets this…haha
Andy, I bought my Gem earlier this year. When you say “mind blowing” you couldn’t be more true. It’s an amazing aid, I’m so glad you’re going to do more videos with Gem.
Thanks for all your hints and tips.
Thanks for your support, Huw!
I picked one of those up, sent to me in the USA, when I saw it demonstrated on a competitor's RUclips channel. I love it. What is odd is that the GEM has the club head toe-up at halfway back, and through, while a lot of recent teaching says to match the leading edge of the club head with your spine.
This looks awesome Andy
I am a 30+++ handicap golfer that has been trying to rekindle a terrible golf game after over a decade of letting the clubs gather dust. Taken several lessons, watched hours of videos and purchased a few training aids after careful scrutiny. The fastest positive effect on my swing has come from the GEM!! I try to spend a few minutes a day doing practice swings trying to ingrain the muscle memory and I can feel my swing smoothing out. Best of all it is taking my mind out of the swing as I am getting the proper mechanics ingrained! Feeling the "wobble" anytime my technique isn't spot on is invaluable and immediately makes me try to figure out what caused it. That way you do not just keep practicing bad mechanics!
Hi Andy great video, sorry I’m late to it but my understanding on the back swing was to have the club head matching your spine angle not straight up
This is great to hear, thanks for the feedback and support we appreciate it!
I wonder if really true for me 30 handicapper hitting behind the ball most of the time…nothing has helped. Very frustrated and discouraged because I like getting out on the golf course.
Hi Andy, I know I’ve messaged you before about getting one of these for Xmas, however, I’ve now had a chance to use it in my last two range sessions, and I have to say it’s the best training aid I’ve ever tried. It gets the club in a perfect position on the back swing, but more importantly for me, it’s got me releasing the club and it’s incredibly easy to use. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention, it’s amazing. Happy new year Andy to you and your family. Melissa
Thanks for the great feedback CornishMaid!
andy, i have been working with the gem a bit and must say the results are quite remarkable, genius device. i would say one would have to try it to believe how well it works.
Interesting vlog - thought it was a bit of a wind up at first but hey, it works
Glad you're enjoying the sun in Dubai.
Cheers
Great stuff, tks👍
Wow ! For a professional to get so excited by a training aid is very rare , I’ve already been on their website and had a look .
Thanks for your support, Nick!
Andy, I got one after watching a video by Steve Johnston and it IS truly amazing. My miss is a flip/pull because I don't rotate enough through & past impact. I can totally feel and correct that when using the GEM. It's also essential on getting the backswing right. I haven't played much lately due to weather but I've been swinging it indoors every chance I get for the past and the few times I've been able to hit the range.
it's starting to set in. I played last Sunday and it DOES help me make better swings on the course - I'm just using that same armpit to armpit practice swing as part of my pre-shot routine. When I really felt the GEM swing I hit some of ridiculously good shots. The one that really stands out was a 320 yd drive on my 9th hole that just felt like a nothing special smooth swing .
The GEM is by far, the best swing training aid I've ever used. 👍👍 p.s. I'm a 9 hcp, playing in Colorado, USA
Class Mark, really happy you’re enjoying it and feeling the benefit.
I was amazed by it when i started swinging it. Literally blew my mind
Thanks for your support, Mark!
Just had this as a present on Xmas day, it feels quality, I’m so looking forward to trying it when the range is open in a couple of days. Thanks for sharing this, as I’d never knew it existed before your video
Thank you for your support!
For someone who was skeptical and bought it anyway. OMG. I can feel it’s so freakin easy. This is monumental. No more lessons needed. That’s why it’s so expensive.
Thanks for the great feedback Dylan!
I bought one as it was what my coach was teaching me to do but i didn't quite get it from verbal descriptions. This moves the club exactly how he wanted me to move it. Haven't been able to hit any balls yet (Been swinging it a bit in the past week) as i have a bad ankle injury from soccer but will be able to go to the range in the next few weeks. Also it has been a great tool for me to work my ankle during rehab.
Thank for your support!
Found a good x-mad pres. I like you said will hit a hook. Might be worth it.
Got one of these bro... btw - Great videos, no question how authentic you are in these reviews. So far so good with all your recommendations. When you said its "mental" I purchased about 40 seconds later.
Glad you’re enjoying it
Had one of these as soon as Steve Johnston had it in his channel. Even got a great discount too. Great training tool.
Thanks for your support!
I ordered mine a couple weeks ago after watching Steve’s video. Have you used it with driver, or just irons? Looking forward to seeing your footage for the short game.
another great video Andy...to be fair
❤I have a gem and I have dramatically improved my ball striking. I have attached it permanently to a spare 7 iron and when I have time while practicing on course I swing it they hit my shot. Brilliant.
Glad it’s working for you Glenn 🙌🏽👊🏽
Great to have your support,Glenn!
Just sourced bits and pieces for about £30 using threaded rod but worth a go
Remember when you were at “ The Island “ golf course in Dublin .. Anyway , fantastic piece of kit ..Use it everyday and I encourage everyone I speak to to get one and do the same
I do indeed, amazing golf course. Loved my time there
Hands down one of the best training aids that actually work and gives results and change. Perserver with the Gem its worth it. I put the hanger training aid on the same club as the Gem and do practice swings then remove the Gem weighted rod and hit balls all incorporated with the Mach3 speed out in front training.
Thanks for your support, John!
Got one. Liking it a lot so far and I was a big slicer. Also bagged Black Friday sale with 15% off. Defo recommend tho it’s just made it click with release, arms and body . Baby draws for days
Thanks for your support, James!
Thanks, Andy.
1.5 year golfer that is struggling for a proper swing. I just want to have a repeatable proper swing, but the RUclips lessons just seem to give you tips to make your bad swing better.
I don't have any swing aids other than a stick, but I think this might help with the basic fundamentals.
I wasn't a regular viewer, but I noticed that you seemed like a no BS guy and I trust your enthusiasm. I guess I'll see when this thing gets to the US from Scotland, but I have hope.
Also, there is a 10 percent discount code on the other reviewers sites. Nice to know that Andy isn't a shill, not that I feel Matt, Pete, and Rick are.
you gotta get one, the results are fantastic and you won't regret it.
how did you like it?
just got mine 2 days ago....its everything Andy says it is....its amazing!
Glad you enjoy it! I'm using it at the range for every warm up. i love it. I have my draw back with the driver especially which I've missed
And your video is EXTREMELY detailed and thorough. Other videos that I have seen about this device are rubbish.
Thanks for your support!
I think i can knock 1 up in my shed for less than £10 but i am intrigued 👍
This isn’t in my budget but I wanted to try it so I made a DIY version. My trash DIY version has been an enormous help. In minutes I understood how to release, something years of practice and several lessons couldn’t do. I have to imagine the real deal far exceeds my hardware store setup. Anyone thinking about purchasing this training aid should.
I did the same thing prior to mine arriving and felt similar results. Just trying to understand or mimic what the gem is doing helps. (FYI - once the gem arrived I realized why it is priced as it is. The gem is machined/milled parts in aluminum and stainless steel - it’s a very high-quality product. )
Isnt "square" actually more face down at that point in the backswing?
I have gforce swing trainer Andy do you think I would also need gem trainer
I was all up for getting one cause it just makes sense, however £120 is a bit steep 😮
My sentiments exactly... for such a simple piece of gear, it seems like they're trying to recoup ALL the R&D and production costs in a hurry with that pricing. I'm sure it's worth it but Ben Hogan didn't need it, neither did Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods, or Arnold Palmer or Sam Snead or Tom Watson, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, Johnny Miller, Lee Trevino, Chi Chi, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, or Gary Player or ... (I could go on forever...)
Yes, it's hard to know and understand what went into the products research, design, implementation, patent, materials, distribution, packaging, etc etc but.to cover your other point, those names didnt need it because they are world class talents! We aren't lol!
I made my own from Home Depot for about $15
It’s pretty nice piece of equipment I was skeptical too until it arrived. Not to say you can get same feels from DIY from hardware store. But each piece is machined, nice knurling on the screws, machined threads, etc - overall really nice to use and easy to toss on the club and use on the range / course.
@@3nCountingYou have to remember the costs of patents for the product and it isn’t being mass produced like car parts (yet) so the cost to make is considerably more.
They are also supporting Scottish jobs which is admirable
Have to say I bought one and am not really feeling it - not sure why as it’s exactly what am doing wrong - could do with a lesson from Mr Mann who would no doubt sort me out - If you are listening Fraser give me a shout
I am also excited about this training aid. Other than the 10 swings and then hit a few shots , are there any other practice routines you would recommend for us followers? I am looking forward to your using this aid in the short game. Thank you.
There are some really good videos on the Be Good At Golf channel on how to practice with it. That guy is a huge fan of it and is were I first saw it demoed. After only working with it for about x2 weeks I have noticed a significant smoothing of my take away and swing!
@@paramoose I think you mean be better golf
@@Sanholomc
OOPS!! Yes, you are correct.
Interesting training aid. Are you back on the blades?
These are my 2nd set, the T100's are in the UK
I got one after seeing another youtuber’s review of it a few months ago. It def helps but one of the rods came without any thread on it so I could not screw the ball to it.
If that is the shortest rod with no threads it is supposed to be that way. Andy demonstrates how that one is used in the last quarter of the video.
Vice grip with different size
How do I get 10 percent off? It says 140 bucks only
Can you make a video using it with the driver?
I'd like see a handicap golfer use this ..show us this Andy pls
Alright, alright, I'll get one.
You don't need one, your takeaway is awesome and you definitely release it well
@@andycartergolf framing this comment.
Hi Andy,
You didn't mention the word "wobble," which I believe gives you an indication of an incorrect swing!
I was always taught that the club face should match your spine angle in the takeaway. Not point to the sky. Iv been learning stack and tilt. Does this not promote a rolling release?
Personally im happy for a face position to be up to the sky or parallel to the spine angle.
The face doesnt roll to get the toe to the sky. The wrists hinge.
@@andycartergolf thanks for the reply. I’m considering one that’s for sure
bought one when I saw it on youtube from another golfer. Honestly, don't really know how it works. It is also hard to remove.
You must be doing something wrong buddy, watch the video. its a pretty simple concept
Because the small one doesn’t have the weighted ball - is that why that points upwards where the others point down?
Yes. It’s more of a visual aid. Great for short game in particular
Hey Andy I'm literally brand new to golf. Just ordered my clubs and a GEM. You think this will help me being a complete newb?
Yes its awesome for takeaway and release through impact.
Follow me on the Skillest app and we can talk there and hopefully I can help you out more
@@andycartergolf Thanks Andy! Haven’t heard of that app but I’ll definitely check it out
was ready to call BS but it makes perfect sense, I might have bought it if they offered a discount
Hi you can use the code cartervip10 for a 10% discount!
Okay I believe you Andy as you haven’t given me a discount code so you can get your cut. But I have to ask, were you paid to promote it?
That would be a yes I presume. lol
But it doesn’t take away any credibility as to how you beefed up its worth. lol
Easily worth the money
...buy one with a mate and share it.
This product is far and away the best training aid I have tried....and there's been a few, including the very whippy ones. The results were instant and teach you to swing the "old fashioned way" not stack and tilt or whatever crap they teach now. Stops you holding the face off to "create" lag. 90 perfect shots in a row at the range .....can't wait to get back on the course. I used to swing this way.....how did I ever get sucked into lag "creation"????? My suggestion to teaching pros is to teach this method to EVERY student.
You are not a 30 handicapper though?
@@dry509 no far from it. Apart from grip aim and stance this virtually takes the place of a golf teacher. Practice with this device and you'll get strike results you never thought possible. Go to a golf teacher to learn how to chip,putt and play strategic shots
Thanks for your support!
Is this legal for actual golf shots on the course?
No, not for playing plus it wouldnt work very well for that
Wouldn't mind trying it but it's ridiculously expensive AUD$250.00
Put the clamp on the bottom of the grip not the shaft.
I will say it is expensive but, if you are a true golfer trying to improve your game for years to come - $120 is nothing compared to insanely high tee fees only to score horribly;
I've bought a few aids, and I will say this one is effective and is here to stay.
Very true. Long term investment
Are you endorsed by GEM? Great review, but wanted to know if there's a commission based incentive ☺️
No incentive. More videos with training aids i like will be on the channel in 2024
@@andycartergolf awesome, so good 😊👍
@@andycartergolfjust bought the GEM and it's amazing - great video mate 🍻👍
For €20 i'd give it a go but no chance at €120
Andy , were you paid by Gemgolf to promote this please? Or is it what you really think of it
I was sent it (like I am loads of training aids) i tried it and I genuinely love it. So I wanted to share.
I dont do many vids like this because I get sent a lot of rubbish lol
Ok , thanks. Its a shame because i think nowadays u just think the youtuber is being paid to promote it 🤷🏻♂️
One question should you feel a wobble as you release please.
Wobble is the indicator that something didn't go right. It's your instant feedback in that swing that your mechanics had a flaw
No it shouldnt wobble. Thats the beauty of the feedback
Certainly a very clever bit of equipment but also rather pricey. I can see a lot of shed doors open with DIY's searching for bits and pieces.
I used locking pliers as a replacement and it works just the same
Toe up on follow through is very 80's/Fred Couples. When you show the holding off through impact at 4.16 I think you should actually compare to many of the great swings of the past - I am think Sandy Lyle for one - who had huge power but had that right wrist in the held off position you show. I have the GEM and think that it is a fantastic tool but I am not using it in the toe up/GEM down manner they suggest (toe up on backswing is also old school/Leadbetter/Faldo, matching spine angle is more the current/Hogan view), but in a more rotational style as suggested by another YT channel, and find the weight helps feel how I should be using left and right sidebend in conjunction with the transition to keep the club slotted and the face squarer for longer through impact. Remember, as a teaching pro you have an ingrained good transition/rotation that most amateurs struggle with. It's a must buy tool imho, but not to use in the manner they suggest.
Toe up in the backswing didnt work out too bad for Faldo..
@@TeeBoxTobies Until it didn't and Leadbetters ideas got in the way. Also he can't hit it very far considering the size of him. Leadbetter doesn't teach that move anymore and has changed his mind.
Use a locking pliers as a replacement
I presume there's more to i than that, but I couldnt tell you what!
You are probably right, locking pliers are cheaper than this, but golfers are idiots that spend extra money on better clubs and balls. Myself included. Forgive me for falling for this as my first training aid.
Is this sponsored?
He opens with saying he was sent it, so I guess yes
Well, he said he was sent, not that he is getting paid for it, so I think is not sponsored
£120 is far to much for what it is. £30 is more reasonable I think.
Yeh, tbf i can't comment on the price. No idea what went into creating it, how much the parts cost, patenting, staff, time, the packaging, delivery etc.
Hard the really understand without knowing isnt it.
I just present it to you guys and leave you to decide what is a good investment and what isn't.
@@andycartergolf Yeah I get all that bud. After giving it some thought it's around the price of 3 pro golf lessons around my way so might be something in that. £120 lasts forever rather than 3 half hour lessons which could be forgotten 😂 Plus most things golf are expensive unfortunately! ✌🏼
Looks an awesome training aid and god knows I'm a sucker for a cheap training aid... £120 for this though? Sorry but that's just an absolute joke.
Yeah few comments are the same regarding price. I don't know what goes into researching, producing and distributing products so can't really comment tbh
£120... ouch
Yes its not cheap. A lot of top training aids arent anymore. The good ones know they are good and make you pay lol.
Its more important to know you’re getting the right training aid for you
Its worth it!
Too expensive to try and then put one more gadget on a shelve. Take lessons.
Lessons is always a winner
WAY WAY overpriced
Please don't don't be like Peter Finch and add sounds effects. I really enjoy your channel and want to continue watching.
What sound effects?
@@andycartergolf maybe he means the whoosh sounds at your logo screen wipes. Doesn’t bother me!
Agree it's overpriced but can continue to use; golf lessons are also expensive. If you enter the discount voucher 'Wobble' it gives a 10% discount. Every bit helps!
There is a thread on the Glfwrx forum. Some guys have their DIY versions if anyone wants to have a look
Could you be a little more specific, those forums seem a little tough to search through. Thanks.
