DUDE! As a novice golfer who is fooled sometimes by these quick-fix ads, you saved me a lot of time and money. Really appreciate the honest review and creativity. Keep doing what you're doing.
I await your next review as soon as I recover my purchase of a folding waterbed. lol. In the 70's I bought a strobing black light it is a wonder I am still alive.
I appreciate your honesty and humor (your variety of clicking swings was hilarious). I am skeptical of new training aids because I've been a sucker in the past. Helpful video!
Yeah, they definitely were saying the right things and I wanted it to work because I need better consistency. However, I think the video speaks for itself.... haha Cheers!
Awesome review! Expose these cash grabs for the frauds they are... (Even if that wasn't your intent) All we want is honesty, and you provide that in a light hearted way. Definitely a fan of yours now. Thank you and keep the vids coming!
Thanks for sticking to your convictions. You withstood the pressure to change your opinion. I was thinking about buying this $200 gimmick. Thanks again
Haha, I was editing it and thought, "you sure you want to do this?" Hopefully those involved don't take it too seriously. Although I'm probably thinking too highly of myself to think they even know about it or have seen it. I'm just some lil small timer... Cheers!
I have one. Everything he said is spot on. I can make it click any which way I want and I kinda did all the silly swings he did in this video just to prove my point. When I questioned PG, they basically said I was doing it wrong.
Ok, I appreciate this follow-up video. I like that you do everything the promo videos say and still make it click. I'll still give it a shot and send it back if it seems bs! Btw, I also ordered mine after a few frosty adult beverages: that's how they get cha!
over the years i have accumulated so many golf training aids, orange whip, swing setter, lasers, inside approach, medicus, momentum, the tally, GRF training system, swing fan, and most recently the GEM….none of these changed my handicap! maybe for a complete beginner but if your a 15 HCP only practicing your short game and keeping it in the fairway is gonna produce better rounds. Your honest review is great bcz our not giving false hope like all the others.
They were saying the right things and I was hopeful… I really should just get some lessons and quit avoiding it. I’m just nervous about finding the right coach and wasting money there also if it’s a bad fit. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap You are exactly right on that. I have wasted so much money on some of these local coach/instructors only to find out they are not that great of an instructor. Last guy I used had a special for 4 lessons and basically realized it was a waste of my time after the first lesson. He basically watched me swing said not too bad and mostly talked the entire lesson. Worthless. Wish I had access to some of these RUclips instructors like Steve Johnson, Danny Maude, and I would say Eric Cogorno but now after seeing him promote this stick I dunno anymore! I guess they all take the money in the end.
I actually really like the Gem. Though super over priced. I made a DIY version from HD for about $12. But I really think its taught me proper release and how to use my hands. Ive been using my DIY version for a few months now. I have really seen an improvement. I shoot in the 80's (12hc) now where before I was a low/mid 90's (18hc)player all last year and prior to making the DIY version.
POV: Your average mid-late 30s dad who plays golf whenever he can. Bro, great video! I struggle with all these normal amateur swing problems. I appreciate your honesty and normalcy in your video. Keep doing exactly what you're doing, it's seriously a recipe to keep me coming back.
Loved your first video on the Straight Stick and I loved this vid even more. Your montage was frickin' AWESOME! So glad you made these videos which SAVED ME MONEY from NOT buying one. I had seen these being promoted by Eric C. and Mr. Short Game, and I'm kinda' sorry that they're affiliated with this useless gimmick. Thanks so much for doing an honest, irrefutable review, and... sticking to your guns on this product. Keep on doing what you do brother. Liked and subscribed so I'll be following you. Best regards.
Appreciate the support, I've been a subscriber to them for quite some time so when I saw the content pop out also it was a bit disappointing. However, if someone does use this and finds success, improvement... I'm super happy for them. It is just the misleading claims I mainly had issue with. Cheers!
Lol. Thanks for this video. I ordered this earlier today after watching Mr Short Game's video. After watching both of your videos I am asking them to cancel the order. This is the first time I ran across your videos, but great content, thanks.
I rarely comment on RUclips but wanted to for this. Thanks for confirming what seemed intuitive to me. Like most training aids, you can figure out a way to meet the goals of the training aid with poor form. At a basic level of physics, you can tell you can make it click doing anything. THANKS for saving me $140 on another gimmick.
Yeah I was pretty sure it would be the case. The claims were just so “promising”. I’m sure it can be helpful to some players, but it doesn’t function as it’s being said. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
Dude, you made me laugh so hard...I couldn't stop for minutes!!!! I am saying this with the admission that I also bought this thing and I do use it sometimes for warm up before a round , mainly for the grip. I think it's a smart tool for its grip-feature and I never really swing it for the click (because then all my attention goes toward hearing the click and swing paths and angles go out the window). I think the whole magnet - clicking thing is gimmicky, but the rest of the club is good for gripping purposes. Your video definitely watch - worthy and I appreciate your sense of humor!!! PS. the way you made the endorsers wrong (about the clicking ) was just genius! Funny as hell . 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Haha, glad you enjoyed the video. It certainly does have "a use"... the grip trainer is great, but basically everything else they claim is bogus and misleading. Which is why I would guess MOST people bought this thing. Cheers!
Thanks for the honest review, I agree completely if anything it might be a good audio feedback tool. Make sure you hear the click after impact, but anything that says it will cure all of your woes, is snake oil.
I love this and the first video! Definitely keep it going! I didn’t, for 1 second, think you were trying to “debunk” or put down the straight stick, like you had a bias or pre-conceived notion. If it had performed like they say, you would have said that. So I appreciate the honest review. The internet is full of naysayers who would love nothing more than to criticize others no matter what. The other thing is, golf is a hard game. There is no one tool that fixes all the problems. And there is no quick fix that turns a 20 handicapper into a five handicapper in a month. I’m pretty much like you I’m a 14 handicap. I hit some good iron shots, but for the most part, I hit it off the toe. I leave it short, or I’m off-line. It’s taken me a long time to get to where I’m at, with lessons and practice. I will get better and there are some very good tools that give me feedback so I know what to work on and improve. You’re doing a great job, keep up the good work and thanks!
Thanks for the comment, I think I knew this at heart also but really it just struck a chord when I felt that PG was being misleading with the product. If this has helped someone I'm thrilled for them for real, we just want to shoot lower scores. My swing has improved with a few lessons and swing thoughts I found to work for me, not a clicking noise. Cheers!
What I liked most about this video is that you represent the average mid or high-handicap golfer. This is the target population for this golf aid. If it isn't working for you after you went and bought the Straight Stick, why would I expect it to work for me? You clearly demonstrated that this club does not fulfill the claims being made by a lot of the pros. The sad part is that so many of the folks we follow on YT are recommending this, and it makes me wonder if they are more in it for themselves rather than those trying to learn the game and improve. I appreciate your honesty, and your demo of the club was hilarious. Great job!
Thanks for comment, I try to just get it real with my perspective. I am sure there are others that will have success or whatever. But I do not see how this honestly delivers any of the claims and pretty much just seems like a cash grab, which is unfortunate. The fact that Performance Golf has also never even reached out to me regarding these videos is pretty telling also in my opinion. Cheers!
Hats off dude calling it like it is, even before I saw this I asked for a refund in the first 45 mins with this. Sadly I had ordered both driver and iron so now hopefully get my money back
As a grip trainer or maybe warmup / small space trainer it maybe has a purpose. I'm glad I resisted the driver... I will soon be returning mine as well. I'm only holding on to it to film maybe one more video with it. Cheers!
I really appreciate this video because it saved me from buying this thing. I don't know why many of us are constantly looking for the Holy Grail of golf training aids only to be disappointed. I have spent at least a couple of thousand dollars on training aids over the past 30 years and the only one that I would buy again and use on a regular basis is the Orange Whip.
I appreciate the support! I’ve been messing around with the lag shot and kind of like it. I should have a review on it soon. Been busy with those pesky non golf related things recently. Cheers!
I laughed so hard at that montage I got my ab workout for the day. 😂 I actually thought about getting this on a Black Friday deal but both of your videos restored my sanity.
If your first video didn't convince me, this one did. Especially at the 5:30 mark. Thank you good sir. As a fellow mid-teen handicapper, I am always looking to improve my swing path and club speed and am very susceptible to these types of gimmicks. It's people like you who save me hundreds of dollars. You earned my sub. Hit 'em straight!
Yeah, you have to tell the truth. Appreciate that. I am a small youtuber as well (fishing channel) and recently started on the quest of learing golf at 55. For me that chuck dude 10 shot sequence or what ever ... I found a 10 minute video and copied his approach from that. What I liked about it was that it gave me a good feel of where I am supposed to be "as a whole" in the backswing...wrist, hands, head etc. and that gave me a "feel" to look for and re-create. Instant improvement. From there I just had to sort out timing and rotation and for that just watch Nelly Korda for 8 hours straigt. Its the golf swing I was watching I swear! :-). In one month I have increased distance and accuracy by like 40-50%. Thanks for the video
That was one of the best review videos I have ever watched and the comedy made it that much a lot of fun. I would think as a golf pro they would be honest about a product and not just bought to endorse something they know does not really work. I guess if you pay somebody enough money they will endorse anything. Anyways really appreciate your video.
Totally awesome to do a review without worrying about the almighty dollar and telling it like it is!!! Very rare to see this and you are doing us all a great service! Keep up the great work with totally honest and unbiased by money reviews!!! If you ever change the channel's name, I really liked your comment, "a guy in a garage" :)
Glad you enjoyed it! To be fair I’ve done some sponsored reviews, but I made clear prior to accepting it would be my honest opinion. I’ve been thinking of a channel rebrand… not sure just yet. Cheers!
Just bought the SS for the same reasons you did. I could not make it click so I began looking for advice and stumbled upon your two videos that pretty much told it was a waste of money. Luckily they quickly sell on eBay so I will be able to recoup most of the money it cost. Another complaint would be the excessive marketing emails and attempts to sell me lessons even before it arrived.
Just found this review. I was in the same mind frame of almost dropping the $139 on it until I saw this. I think the only real training value is the grip and you see that on a lot of aids. GREAT HONEST REVIEW!
As a man of science I always thought to my self, why would it not click from shear g forces no matter the path, Thanks buddy, you proved me right. I’m sure there’s something to getting the click to match up with impact but that’s not going to matter too much hitting straight if you’re not straight.
Thanks, even with timing the click I'm very skeptical. The "speed settings" are all one inch apart from 60 - 100 mph... like did they crunch the numbers or have some type of data backing up that that is the exact distance needed to have proper "timing or compression" in the golf swing. It seems odd that it would just be lines one inch apart across all ranges of swing speeds.... I don't know... I'm just some idiot on RUclips. Cheers!
I think that the very best and most useful multifunctional golf trainer and golf accessory is STOW STICK. It is even keeps my golf gear safe and stowed while I’m playing golf.
Fabulous review! Just received mine and will take to the range today. Boggles my mind why such respected Golfs Pro's/instructors would endorse the product? Here's my endorsement...if you like am Amber Ale look for Mac and Jack's from Redmond, WA! Cheers!
I’m an equal opportunity employer of all beer, for sure, haha. Look forward to your thoughts, either way if it’s similar to my experience or you find it more inline with “them”, haha. Let the people know! Cheers!
Again thanks for all the info. I get more feedback when I try to change my club path. For me club path is the key. I can't score good if I'm hitting the ball out of bounds or in the next Fairway. Fairly decent with my irons. Struggle with my driver. Going over the top a lot. Learning how to work with my shoulders in different directions. Promotes different swing paths.
This tool will not correct my slightly over the top swing path I have. To suggest that it will is simply a money grab. Good for you calling out some of the big RUclips names who are obviously benefiting financially from selling these off of their RUclips channels.
@@wrenc7738 Their own promo video had -13 path.... I get that most people my not know what that means, but it is DRASTICALLY out-to-in over the top. It doesn't do anything for path, the click means nothing, and if they didn't market is as a fix for that issue then these videos probably wouldn't exist. I also probably would have not purchased it at all (like many others). Thanks for the support!, Cheers!
Thanks Brent, I mean would I entertain some sponsor reviews or something, of course! But, it would only be if I could be STRAIGHT up with my opinion, no strings attached. Cheers!
Was around a 7 handicap back in high school then stopped for almost 2 decades.. came back and took a bunch of golf tec lessons.. the only tools they recommended and which seemed to help me get my swing back were basically free tools that you can buy fancier versions of - the hanger drill for the wrist (amazon version or just use a wire hanger), the punisher stick for takeaway (just hold an alignment rod in your grip with any stick), the lag shot for tempo (no cheap version), and a simple noodle setup to keep path alignment in check
I can tell you mine do not click as easily as you make it click. I’m looking for solid contact (ball first). My problem is early extension and chicken wing. If this helps me get rid of the chicken wing and make ball first contact on a consistent basis I’ll be happy. I can work on swing plane. Heck, if I was a 13 handicap I’d just play golf 😅. Maybe test it with a beginner or 20+ handicap? Anyway, appreciate the review!
Appreciate the comment Lyndon. Just keep in mind that the clicker can release just by impact of the ground or ball. So might a good indicator, but is not exactly what they are saying. Hit them well and thanks for the comment! Cheers!
I’m looking for a swing aid for release; your’s was first I watched on this product as I was going back and forth between this and the Lag Shot. Dam I’m glad I did! I can see after I grabbed my friends how it does release regardless of the swing (and mine sucks). The issue with this aid isn’t that I won’t work, it is that the swing is too fast (anyones swing) to actually SEE the release point. Hence there can be no learning without a slow mo camera. What good is that?! I need this to practice on my own and get visual cues….not set up AV equipment. Tried the Lag Shot as well and realized that tempo it can help with, but release it cannot either. Don’t defend your video. I’d rather an HONEST, UNVARNISHED review to save my money for a lesson. Golf is expensive enough. Thanks for the help. This video is why I subscribed to you.
i totally agreed that their marketing is very misleading with what this training aid will do and i remember they even said it’s POWERED BY AI! GO FIGURE FOLKS
Thanks very much for this. Like other mid-teen HC’ers I look for tools to help improve my game and was intrigued by the Straight Stick. You saved me the frustration of yet another flop. Based on your variety of crazy swings, apparently even my dog could make the thing click.
With the "click" being the main "wow" feature and it basically being pointless in terms of the claims... I think your dog making it click wouldn't help his golf swing. And not having thumbs also... haha. Cheers!
Thanks for this great video! You kept me (a lifelong slicer) from wasting my money on another phony aid! I’ve purchased ridiculous amounts of money on training aids including the Medicus, weighted clubs, “The Sam 2,000” (although the “Sam 2,000” did dramatically improve my swing. I just couldn’t devote the time and space to use it. I wound up giving it away. Thus far I’m still a left-handed slicer. I actually gave away thousands of dollars of Ping Irons, Mizuno Woods, two bags, hundreds of gold balls, shoes, the club glove travel case etc.
Sorry for the delayed response, glad the video helped. I'm sure you've heard of the Jim Furyk drill, but maybe give that some work, strengthen your grip (more knuckles showing on your right hand), and see if you can get the club on a better path. Golf is a game of opposites, exaggerate it, try to hit hooks, and see. Cheers!
Thanks so much for these two videos on the Straight Stick!! I have to admit that I was very tempted to purchase this training aid, but somehow it all sounded to good to be true and another gimmick! Thanks for proving it!! 👍
I had one...key word is had. I returned it for all the reasons you mention in your videos. I recently picked up a GEM, so we'll see how that one goes. I've never been able to consistently hit a golf ball worth a damn, so if this thing can sort me out it will be a miracle from God! If you haven't already, you should review it. Well done, great content!! Take care.
I've had a few people recommend the GEM also. Been in a bit of a funk lately, but winter is a good time to work on the swing. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
@@GolfOnTap Well I wish you the best...know how that goes. I had a really good range session with it the other day (the GEM). I had a breakthrough of sorts as it showed me I was doing something funky with my hands before impact. I've actually never hit the ball this well in my life to be honest. We'll see if I can remain consistent. Take care!
I sent mine back and bought the GEM, which I can see the merits of. I agree that the SS just felt gimmicky, and the hype was DEFINITELY mail-order crap! Good job!
It is! It does what is claims to do by giving you tactile feedback on your swing plane and body turn. It takes a little getting used to and figuring out what you need to do to stop the "wobble," but when you do, it is so gratifying and rewarding. Daily practices with the GEM will most definitely improve my iron play. I plan to construct the homemade version and use it with several clubs since I prefer attaching it to an old club and not having to remove it every ten swings or so to hit a ball. The homemade version by Migmatis Golf ruclips.net/video/K6ypAS820lw/видео.html can be made for under 15 dollars, and except for looks, will do the job just as well, I think.
Bro that was HILARIOUS when you didn’t say a single word to show if it clicks when those guys claim it wouldn’t click omg 😂GREAT video. Funny thing is the one I ordered doesn’t click at any speed…I’m at the imaginary “20-30 mph” setting swinging 90mph to make it click 😂😂😂😂 RETURNING IT TOMORROW
That's crazy.... but honestly... we all know these are made very cheaply overseas and I seriously doubt they have quality control in place for what they claim this thing can do. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap so I got the newer version i'm assuming after they saw your video... and it is nearly impossible to make the magnet click at the 60mph level! i'm a 2.1 GHIN handicap, and I know for a fact I can swing 120mph...but this thing wont click! hahahha customer service said they've changed some things after the "first" version. im going to try it out again this week or its going back!
The only tool here is the grip adjustment and showing you what your face SHOULD look like at address. Thats it....i appluad your honesty. Because i questioned all those adds. Its so clear that none actually swong the club over the top or inside out with actually speed and kept there arms staight to stop the magent from clicking.
I know! I think when I saw them "demonstrating" the club it was just so blatant and why I kind of took issue with it. Any swing with any type of speed will release the magnet, I'm sure they all knew this. The "speed selector" is basically just 1 inch hashes going up the shaft. Now I'm no physics engineer but I'm pretty sure there is a lot more that goes into that... I'm ranting now... anyways.. cheers!
So I got a straight stick before I saw your original videos and all I can say is mine doesn’t click if I have a bad swing path and mine helped me get a higher ball flight and hit it straighter than I’m used to. However, mine did break at the top where you can adjust the grip and they are sending me a replacement. But so far this is one of my favorite training aids.
I do have the straight stick and you are right. As long as you release the club, no matter what plane you are on, the club will click!! I also have the set of LAG shot blue clubs. All these training aids are collecting dust. However, I do like the ProSendr so far.
Laughing my A$$ off at the montage!! Great video!! This is video evidence of what I thought would be the case the first time I saw that ridiculous advertisement. Good job. I am sure you have saved people lots of wasted time and money!
That's what I wanted to see. Just a no bs review. Your first video was plenty, but between this one and your original I won't be getting this product. Back to the grind 🤣
Great video dude. As someone that does some video editing for a living, I can appreciate it and the time taken. Love the content too as I was considering this product but was skeptical of the 'genius' claims. Must suck to be a Bills fan right now though, you guys played well.
Not that I'm a pro, but watching your last video you power the irons like a driver. The wrist snap is where the power comes from. IMO, the extra weight and the click is the reason this is a training aid. Like a sharp knife, let the club do the work. That's my take on it anyways lol
I stand up and get wristy which I’m trying to fix. But nonetheless the claims say no click no click this fixes all swing problems. It’s just false and in my opinion a money grab. Cheers!
I just ordered one, it hasn't arrived yet. I bought it because of the grip, on sale for $119 and money back guarantee. We'll see if it works otherwise I'll send it back. Thanks for the review.
The grip feature is nice, but even with mine I have noticed that grip positon has changed or slipped after using the Straight Stick for a period of time. I don't think the adjustable feature can truly withstand numerous impacts. Cheers!
It would seem to me that the CONCEPT is solid. When done properly, every persons swing has a maximum speed. If that speed is selected using slider adjustment as the break point (not the gauge, that's just a decal), when the speed of the "top magnet stop" reaches a predetermined speed, the weight of the washer exceeds the ability of the magnet to hold it and it clicks. When the magnet is closer to your hands, the magnet itself is moving slower. As a user moves the magnet further from the grip, the magnet is moving faster and magnet lose the fight at a slower hand speed. Makes perfect sense. My question to you is; "is your swing speed identical when too far inside, on plane and over the top? From a physics perspective, I would think that the max speed will always be higher when there aren't other forces preying on speed (like pushing the club from the inside or flipping it from the top to come outside in) and that the issue with the recorded portion of your test might be a reliance on the gauge over the physics. My sense is (I don't have one of these but I ordered one because now I want to know), that the goal would be to create a control. A magnet placement at which you have to swing REALLY HARD to get the washer to release and then back it down the shaft in small adjustments until you get to a spot where it only releases if the club is on plane at a speed you are comfortable swinging. Thank you for making me think.
Thanks man! You saved me from buying something that seems, mostly, useless! Maybe I will just have to go the range and actually focus on my swing instead of trying to mess around with a click stick.
So I ordered one before I saw your video, I’m the same handicap as you. I swung this thing 50 times outside and I cannot get it to click Lol. I don’t know if they made the magnet stronger because I’ve got to give it a bit of a tug To pull it down 🤷♂️.
I've heard back and forth both ways from people commenting... too weak clicks all the time... can't get it to click.... just seems like a quality control issue. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
@@GolfOnTap I will say though that the moulded grip really helps me put my hands on my clubs the exact/proper way. So long story short I’ll give it a week and if it doesn’t click, I’m sending it back
Thanks, haha. Probably spent wayyyyy to long on it, but outside of putting my awful golf game on display… it’s been fun learning all this editing / filming stuff (I’m self taught basically). Cheers!
Bought both the 7 iron and the driver. Both definitely help with grip adjustment. Correcting slices. It give a relative speed estimate. Helps with lag and maintaining and improving club head speed at release. Can use them at the range as well.
How did you handle the “post purchase sales calls” 😂 man those guys at PG are relentless, I had to block their number Lag shot has been the best training aid I have bought in the last 10 years
That answers my question about the straight stick, i have great ball striking on the range. I seem to need to feel impact in my arms & hands to get going sooner ,in the round irons only on 1st few shots. Of course I'm old & we usually just tee it up & go no warm up not a pro. How boring it would be if i didn't have to get out of trouble & then pull off a great shot every now & then
I've just found this review 7 months down the line. 2K subscribers, 400+ comments and 23K views! This is a great review - subtly but hilariously mocking some of the big U Tubers and proving it to be a bit of a scam. Keep it up, I´m dying to see how your channel grows!
Thanks! Its really hard to get people to hit that subscribe button for some reason, but I'm having fun doing this and just got to keep with it. Glad you liked the video, cheers!
Now they are calling it the CLICK STICK.... really smacks of rebranding a turd.
Oh wow!! Great catch, haha. Cheers!
DUDE! As a novice golfer who is fooled sometimes by these quick-fix ads, you saved me a lot of time and money. Really appreciate the honest review and creativity. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great to hear! Hope we both can "figure it all out" one day, cheers!
Dude this video is pure gold!! Love the montage! Keep it up man!
Appreciate it, makes it worth the time it took to put it together… haha. Cheers!
I await your next review as soon as I recover my purchase of a folding waterbed. lol. In the 70's I bought a strobing black light it is a wonder I am still alive.
I appreciate your honesty and humor (your variety of clicking swings was hilarious). I am skeptical of new training aids because I've been a sucker in the past. Helpful video!
Yeah, they definitely were saying the right things and I wanted it to work because I need better consistency. However, I think the video speaks for itself.... haha Cheers!
Awesome review!
Expose these cash grabs for the frauds they are... (Even if that wasn't your intent)
All we want is honesty, and you provide that in a light hearted way.
Definitely a fan of yours now.
Thank you and keep the vids coming!
Thanks dude! Cheers!
Thanks for sticking to your convictions. You withstood the pressure to change your opinion. I was thinking about buying this $200 gimmick. Thanks again
Really appreciate the support. It means a lot, cheers!
I’m still giggling! Pure gold brother. I laughed out loud to the point my wife wanted to know what I was watching. Great video.
Really appreciate it, I put quite a bit of effort into these videos. Glad to see people enjoying it. Cheers!
This montage is amazing. Definitely worth the 5 hours. It actually made me laugh. Great job!
Haha, I was editing it and thought, "you sure you want to do this?" Hopefully those involved don't take it too seriously. Although I'm probably thinking too highly of myself to think they even know about it or have seen it. I'm just some lil small timer... Cheers!
I have one. Everything he said is spot on. I can make it click any which way I want and I kinda did all the silly swings he did in this video just to prove my point. When I questioned PG, they basically said I was doing it wrong.
Its GENIUS! Just make it click! One aid to rule them all! Haha.. cheers!
Honestly 95 percent of all companies will attribute their questionable product claims and lack of desired results to the customer/client 😂
You were doing it wrong? That's the point, right? You did it wrong and it still clicked! I sent mine back the same week I got it, total fraud.
The knee down one timer shot with the click😂
Wish I would have seen this before they got me in my moment of weakness!! Thx for the honest content.
Thanks Dude for exposing this fraud ,money grab etc.shaking my head damn shame
Ok, I appreciate this follow-up video. I like that you do everything the promo videos say and still make it click. I'll still give it a shot and send it back if it seems bs! Btw, I also ordered mine after a few frosty adult beverages: that's how they get cha!
Haha dude… I was certainly a few cold ones down when I ordered mine also! Good luck and to lower scores, cheers! 🍻
Rocco mediate and his diatribe got me. Stone sober.
Nothing like a little alcohol and a credit card at 3:00 AM
over the years i have accumulated so many golf training aids, orange whip, swing setter, lasers, inside approach, medicus, momentum, the tally, GRF training system, swing fan, and most recently the GEM….none of these changed my handicap! maybe for a complete beginner but if your a 15 HCP only practicing your short game and keeping it in the fairway is gonna produce better rounds. Your honest review is great bcz our not giving false hope like all the others.
They were saying the right things and I was hopeful… I really should just get some lessons and quit avoiding it. I’m just nervous about finding the right coach and wasting money there also if it’s a bad fit. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap You are exactly right on that. I have wasted so much money on some of these local coach/instructors only to find out they are not that great of an instructor. Last guy I used had a special for 4 lessons and basically realized it was a waste of my time after the first lesson. He basically watched me swing said not too bad and mostly talked the entire lesson. Worthless. Wish I had access to some of these RUclips instructors like Steve Johnson, Danny Maude, and I would say Eric Cogorno but now after seeing him promote this stick I dunno anymore! I guess they all take the money in the end.
I actually really like the Gem. Though super over priced. I made a DIY version from HD for about $12. But I really think its taught me proper release and how to use my hands. Ive been using my DIY version for a few months now. I have really seen an improvement. I shoot in the 80's (12hc) now where before I was a low/mid 90's (18hc)player all last year and prior to making the DIY version.
Is orange whip worth it?
The one thing that dramatically improved my swing was the rope that Dr. Kwon uses to teach his students, see his RUclips channel.
Absolutely awesome! I love that you’ve called them out on the BS.
Great video.
I'm a big fan of your work in the classic film "Old School", your support is humbling. Cheers!
Thanks for saving me $140!!! This is the most honest review ever.
Glad I could help! Cheers!
POV: Your average mid-late 30s dad who plays golf whenever he can.
Bro, great video! I struggle with all these normal amateur swing problems. I appreciate your honesty and normalcy in your video. Keep doing exactly what you're doing, it's seriously a recipe to keep me coming back.
Haha, for sure. I appreciate the support, cheers!
Thanks for being honest and funny. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you! finally a honest review,,,,you need to test more training aids and other products and expose these quacks.
Glad to take recommendations although all purchases require approval from the better half... haha. Cheers!
I totally agree with you. i thought this only worked when you had the correct swing plane. thank you for making this review part 1 and 11
Loved your first video on the Straight Stick and I loved this vid even more. Your montage was frickin' AWESOME! So glad you made these videos which SAVED ME MONEY from NOT buying one. I had seen these being promoted by Eric C. and Mr. Short Game, and I'm kinda' sorry that they're affiliated with this useless gimmick. Thanks so much for doing an honest, irrefutable review, and... sticking to your guns on this product. Keep on doing what you do brother. Liked and subscribed so I'll be following you. Best regards.
Appreciate the support, I've been a subscriber to them for quite some time so when I saw the content pop out also it was a bit disappointing. However, if someone does use this and finds success, improvement... I'm super happy for them. It is just the misleading claims I mainly had issue with. Cheers!
a gimmik it is, i got sucked in too and sent it back. i think eric c. promoed because he is tied in with pg. i find he's so good and desn't need them.
Lol. Thanks for this video. I ordered this earlier today after watching Mr Short Game's video. After watching both of your videos I am asking them to cancel the order. This is the first time I ran across your videos, but great content, thanks.
Really appreciate it, thanks for the comment. Cheers!
I rarely comment on RUclips but wanted to for this. Thanks for confirming what seemed intuitive to me. Like most training aids, you can figure out a way to meet the goals of the training aid with poor form. At a basic level of physics, you can tell you can make it click doing anything. THANKS for saving me $140 on another gimmick.
Yeah I was pretty sure it would be the case. The claims were just so “promising”. I’m sure it can be helpful to some players, but it doesn’t function as it’s being said. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
Dude, you made me laugh so hard...I couldn't stop for minutes!!!! I am saying this with the admission that I also bought this thing and I do use it sometimes for warm up before a round , mainly for the grip. I think it's a smart tool for its grip-feature and I never really swing it for the click (because then all my attention goes toward hearing the click and swing paths and angles go out the window). I think the whole magnet - clicking thing is gimmicky, but the rest of the club is good for gripping purposes. Your video definitely watch - worthy and I appreciate your sense of humor!!! PS. the way you made the endorsers wrong (about the clicking ) was just genius! Funny as hell . 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Haha, glad you enjoyed the video. It certainly does have "a use"... the grip trainer is great, but basically everything else they claim is bogus and misleading. Which is why I would guess MOST people bought this thing. Cheers!
I almost pulled the trigger on this device. Thank you for the honest review!
Glad I could help! Cheers!
Thanks for the honest review, I agree completely if anything it might be a good audio feedback tool. Make sure you hear the click after impact, but anything that says it will cure all of your woes, is snake oil.
Yeah like I mentioned. I don’t think it’s useless but it is misleading and that’s my main issue. Cheers!
I love this and the first video! Definitely keep it going! I didn’t, for 1 second, think you were trying to “debunk” or put down the straight stick, like you had a bias or pre-conceived notion. If it had performed like they say, you would have said that. So I appreciate the honest review. The internet is full of naysayers who would love nothing more than to criticize others no matter what. The other thing is, golf is a hard game. There is no one tool that fixes all the problems. And there is no quick fix that turns a 20 handicapper into a five handicapper in a month. I’m pretty much like you I’m a 14 handicap. I hit some good iron shots, but for the most part, I hit it off the toe. I leave it short, or I’m off-line. It’s taken me a long time to get to where I’m at, with lessons and practice. I will get better and there are some very good tools that give me feedback so I know what to work on and improve. You’re doing a great job, keep up the good work and thanks!
Thanks for the comment, I think I knew this at heart also but really it just struck a chord when I felt that PG was being misleading with the product. If this has helped someone I'm thrilled for them for real, we just want to shoot lower scores. My swing has improved with a few lessons and swing thoughts I found to work for me, not a clicking noise. Cheers!
What I liked most about this video is that you represent the average mid or high-handicap golfer. This is the target population for this golf aid. If it isn't working for you after you went and bought the Straight Stick, why would I expect it to work for me? You clearly demonstrated that this club does not fulfill the claims being made by a lot of the pros. The sad part is that so many of the folks we follow on YT are recommending this, and it makes me wonder if they are more in it for themselves rather than those trying to learn the game and improve. I appreciate your honesty, and your demo of the club was hilarious. Great job!
Thanks for comment, I try to just get it real with my perspective. I am sure there are others that will have success or whatever. But I do not see how this honestly delivers any of the claims and pretty much just seems like a cash grab, which is unfortunate. The fact that Performance Golf has also never even reached out to me regarding these videos is pretty telling also in my opinion. Cheers!
Hats off dude calling it like it is, even before I saw this I asked for a refund in the first 45 mins with this. Sadly I had ordered both driver and iron so now hopefully get my money back
As a grip trainer or maybe warmup / small space trainer it maybe has a purpose. I'm glad I resisted the driver... I will soon be returning mine as well. I'm only holding on to it to film maybe one more video with it. Cheers!
I really appreciate this video because it saved me from buying this thing. I don't know why many of us are constantly looking for the Holy Grail of golf training aids only to be disappointed. I have spent at least a couple of thousand dollars on training aids over the past 30 years and the only one that I would buy again and use on a regular basis is the Orange Whip.
I appreciate the support! I’ve been messing around with the lag shot and kind of like it. I should have a review on it soon. Been busy with those pesky non golf related things recently. Cheers!
I laughed so hard at that montage I got my ab workout for the day. 😂
I actually thought about getting this on a Black Friday deal but both of your videos restored my sanity.
60 percent of the time it works ALLLLL the time.
@@GolfOnTap That doesn't make sense😉
If your first video didn't convince me, this one did. Especially at the 5:30 mark. Thank you good sir. As a fellow mid-teen handicapper, I am always looking to improve my swing path and club speed and am very susceptible to these types of gimmicks. It's people like you who save me hundreds of dollars. You earned my sub. Hit 'em straight!
Well done! Fair presentation of phantoms and facts.
Yeah, you have to tell the truth. Appreciate that. I am a small youtuber as well (fishing channel) and recently started on the quest of learing golf at 55. For me that chuck dude 10 shot sequence or what ever ... I found a 10 minute video and copied his approach from that. What I liked about it was that it gave me a good feel of where I am supposed to be "as a whole" in the backswing...wrist, hands, head etc. and that gave me a "feel" to look for and re-create. Instant improvement. From there I just had to sort out timing and rotation and for that just watch Nelly Korda for 8 hours straigt. Its the golf swing I was watching I swear! :-). In one month I have increased distance and accuracy by like 40-50%. Thanks for the video
Thank you for your honest review! It’s hard to find truthful reviews.
You are so welcome! Cheers!
Product is OBVIOUSLY just another gimmick. Thanks for exposing it👍🏻
That was one of the best review videos I have ever watched and the comedy made it that much a lot of fun. I would think as a golf pro they would be honest about a product and not just bought to endorse something they know does not really work. I guess if you pay somebody enough money they will endorse anything. Anyways really appreciate your video.
I believe my Dad just bought one. I got to go over to his garage simulator and see this for myself. Great job on the videos. Keep it up
Really appreciate it, I do this mostly for fun. But it is time consuming and a bit nervous putting myself out there like that. Means a lot, cheers!
Totally awesome to do a review without worrying about the almighty dollar and telling it like it is!!! Very rare to see this and you are doing us all a great service! Keep up the great work with totally honest and unbiased by money reviews!!! If you ever change the channel's name, I really liked your comment, "a guy in a garage" :)
Glad you enjoyed it! To be fair I’ve done some sponsored reviews, but I made clear prior to accepting it would be my honest opinion. I’ve been thinking of a channel rebrand… not sure just yet. Cheers!
Just bought the SS for the same reasons you did. I could not make it click so I began looking for advice and stumbled upon your two videos that pretty much told it was a waste of money. Luckily they quickly sell on eBay so I will be able to recoup most of the money it cost. Another complaint would be the excessive marketing emails and attempts to sell me lessons even before it arrived.
The emails and texts never stop... I might just do a general video on Performance Golf also. Cheers!
The video is really funny! Pretty much the same with most golf training aids. Great job!
Thanks for the comment! Hope you consider subscribing, cheers!
Just found this review. I was in the same mind frame of almost dropping the $139 on it until I saw this. I think the only real training value is the grip and you see that on a lot of aids. GREAT HONEST REVIEW!
Yeah I also just want to regrip an actual iron with just the grip trainer, which would be like $9.... Cheers!
I am having another moment of weakness. How about a review on the Straight Away training aid?
As a man of science I always thought to my self, why would it not click from shear g forces no matter the path,
Thanks buddy, you proved me right. I’m sure there’s something to getting the click to match up with impact but that’s not going to matter too much hitting straight if you’re not straight.
Thanks, even with timing the click I'm very skeptical. The "speed settings" are all one inch apart from 60 - 100 mph... like did they crunch the numbers or have some type of data backing up that that is the exact distance needed to have proper "timing or compression" in the golf swing. It seems odd that it would just be lines one inch apart across all ranges of swing speeds.... I don't know... I'm just some idiot on RUclips. Cheers!
I think that the very best and most useful multifunctional golf trainer and golf accessory is STOW STICK. It is even keeps my golf gear safe and stowed while I’m playing golf.
Oh man!! 😂 Great stuff. Can you do other things like non slice drivers?
I'll try to look into it and see if I get the wife's budget approval. Cheers!
The fail montage was great, and you’re my first golf subscribe.
Haha, thank you sooo much. I put a lot of effort into that. Cheers and welcome!!! 🍻
Fabulous review! Just received mine and will take to the range today. Boggles my mind why such respected Golfs Pro's/instructors would endorse the product? Here's my endorsement...if you like am Amber Ale look for Mac and Jack's from Redmond, WA! Cheers!
I’m an equal opportunity employer of all beer, for sure, haha. Look forward to your thoughts, either way if it’s similar to my experience or you find it more inline with “them”, haha. Let the people know! Cheers!
Amazing! Loved the montage of clicks from every angle and swing path! Soooo Funny!
Glad you enjoyed it! GENIUS!! Cheers 🍻!
Again thanks for all the info. I get more feedback when I try to change my club path. For me club path is the key. I can't score good if I'm hitting the ball out of bounds or in the next Fairway. Fairly decent with my irons. Struggle with my driver. Going over the top a lot. Learning how to work with my shoulders in different directions. Promotes different swing paths.
Absolutely, early extension is my big killer. Just trying to stay down, through, and rotate. Cheers!
Love the video.......thanks for showing what its really about.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What was your favorite swing? Haha. Thanks for the support everyone, cheers! 🍻
This tool will not correct my slightly over the top swing path I have. To suggest that it will is simply a money grab. Good for you calling out some of the big RUclips names who are obviously benefiting financially from selling these off of their RUclips channels.
@@wrenc7738 Their own promo video had -13 path.... I get that most people my not know what that means, but it is DRASTICALLY out-to-in over the top. It doesn't do anything for path, the click means nothing, and if they didn't market is as a fix for that issue then these videos probably wouldn't exist. I also probably would have not purchased it at all (like many others). Thanks for the support!, Cheers!
The °360 jump swing was the best!!
Ha
One-timer goal with celebration👍
Wow awesome review! I love real world people with low sub counts, they tend to bring the truth home!
Thank you!
Thanks Brent, I mean would I entertain some sponsor reviews or something, of course! But, it would only be if I could be STRAIGHT up with my opinion, no strings attached. Cheers!
Great video. Thanks for exposin' the truth.
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Was around a 7 handicap back in high school then stopped for almost 2 decades.. came back and took a bunch of golf tec lessons.. the only tools they recommended and which seemed to help me get my swing back were basically free tools that you can buy fancier versions of - the hanger drill for the wrist (amazon version or just use a wire hanger), the punisher stick for takeaway (just hold an alignment rod in your grip with any stick), the lag shot for tempo (no cheap version), and a simple noodle setup to keep path alignment in check
Thanks for the tips, I'll look them up for sure. Cheers!
Thanks dude. What you said makes sense. Saved me $140
Glad it helped! Cheers!
I can tell you mine do not click as easily as you make it click. I’m looking for solid contact (ball first). My problem is early extension and chicken wing. If this helps me get rid of the chicken wing and make ball first contact on a consistent basis I’ll be happy. I can work on swing plane. Heck, if I was a 13 handicap I’d just play golf 😅. Maybe test it with a beginner or 20+ handicap? Anyway, appreciate the review!
Appreciate the comment Lyndon. Just keep in mind that the clicker can release just by impact of the ground or ball. So might a good indicator, but is not exactly what they are saying. Hit them well and thanks for the comment! Cheers!
Brilliant reviews! I wish there were more RUclipsrs that are regular people doing what you have done here. Top man!
Thanks a lot for that… getting people to hit that subscribe button is tough though! Cheers!
You just saved me a lot of money and have earned yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks so much!
Wow, you broke it down like a lawyer! Thanks for saving me money!
Well.... let's be sure you allocate those funds to something else golf related. I know I would, haha. Cheers!
Hilarious montage. Thank you for sharing. I’m that dumb I buy anything that I think will improve my game. Saved me some $$ lol
Glad it helped. I’m sure it can be useful in some fashion, just not what they market it as in my opinion. Cheers!
I’m looking for a swing aid for release; your’s was first I watched on this product as I was going back and forth between this and the Lag Shot. Dam I’m glad I did!
I can see after I grabbed my friends how it does release regardless of the swing (and mine sucks). The issue with this aid isn’t that I won’t work, it is that the swing is too fast (anyones swing) to actually SEE the release point. Hence there can be no learning without a slow mo camera. What good is that?! I need this to practice on my own and get visual cues….not set up AV equipment.
Tried the Lag Shot as well and realized that tempo it can help with, but release it cannot either.
Don’t defend your video. I’d rather an HONEST, UNVARNISHED review to save my money for a lesson. Golf is expensive enough. Thanks for the help. This video is why I subscribed to you.
That montage was beautiful! I hope Performance Golf sees this review!
You and me both! Cheers!
i totally agreed that their marketing is very misleading with what this training aid will do and i remember they even said it’s POWERED BY AI! GO FIGURE FOLKS
Thanks very much for this. Like other mid-teen HC’ers I look for tools to help improve my game and was intrigued by the Straight Stick. You saved me the frustration of yet another flop. Based on your variety of crazy swings, apparently even my dog could make the thing click.
With the "click" being the main "wow" feature and it basically being pointless in terms of the claims... I think your dog making it click wouldn't help his golf swing. And not having thumbs also... haha. Cheers!
Thanks for this great video! You kept me (a lifelong slicer) from wasting my money on another phony aid!
I’ve purchased ridiculous amounts of money on training aids including the Medicus, weighted clubs, “The Sam 2,000” (although the “Sam 2,000” did dramatically improve my swing.
I just couldn’t devote the time and space to use it. I wound up giving it away.
Thus far I’m still a left-handed slicer. I actually gave away thousands of dollars of Ping Irons, Mizuno Woods, two bags, hundreds of gold balls, shoes, the club glove travel case etc.
Sorry for the delayed response, glad the video helped. I'm sure you've heard of the Jim Furyk drill, but maybe give that some work, strengthen your grip (more knuckles showing on your right hand), and see if you can get the club on a better path. Golf is a game of opposites, exaggerate it, try to hit hooks, and see. Cheers!
Thanks so much for these two videos on the Straight Stick!! I have to admit that I was very tempted to purchase this training aid, but somehow it all sounded to good to be true and another gimmick! Thanks for proving it!! 👍
Glad to help and best of luck! Cheers!
Saw it on sale. Watched Mr Short Game. Got my credit card out. Watched your video. Slowly put my card away. Thanks bro!!!
It is always "on sale" oddly enough. Just another cheap trick like the timers they put on websites also. Glad I could help, cheers!
I had one...key word is had. I returned it for all the reasons you mention in your videos. I recently picked up a GEM, so we'll see how that one goes. I've never been able to consistently hit a golf ball worth a damn, so if this thing can sort me out it will be a miracle from God! If you haven't already, you should review it. Well done, great content!! Take care.
I've had a few people recommend the GEM also. Been in a bit of a funk lately, but winter is a good time to work on the swing. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
@@GolfOnTap Well I wish you the best...know how that goes. I had a really good range session with it the other day (the GEM). I had a breakthrough of sorts as it showed me I was doing something funky with my hands before impact. I've actually never hit the ball this well in my life to be honest. We'll see if I can remain consistent. Take care!
I sent mine back and bought the GEM, which I can see the merits of. I agree that the SS just felt gimmicky, and the hype was DEFINITELY mail-order crap! Good job!
I’ll definitely check out the GEM. Thanks for recommendation and the comment. Cheers!
I've heard the GEM is legit and awesome. It's love to hear if you like it!!
It is! It does what is claims to do by giving you tactile feedback on your swing plane and body turn. It takes a little getting used to and figuring out what you need to do to stop the "wobble," but when you do, it is so gratifying and rewarding. Daily practices with the GEM will most definitely improve my iron play. I plan to construct the homemade version and use it with several clubs since I prefer attaching it to an old club and not having to remove it every ten swings or so to hit a ball. The homemade version by Migmatis Golf ruclips.net/video/K6ypAS820lw/видео.html can be made for under 15 dollars, and except for looks, will do the job just as well, I think.
@@MeanderingMotoMonk thank you for the recommendation!!! This guy is great! I'm going to make one myself!
Totally checking this out, thanks!
Thank you for your honest review. Greatly appreciated
My pleasure! Cheers!
Thanks for providing a very honest review. You just save me a bunch of bucks.
Glad to help, cheers!
Bro that was HILARIOUS when you didn’t say a single word to show if it clicks when those guys claim it wouldn’t click omg 😂GREAT video. Funny thing is the one I ordered doesn’t click at any speed…I’m at the imaginary “20-30 mph” setting swinging 90mph to make it click 😂😂😂😂 RETURNING IT TOMORROW
That's crazy.... but honestly... we all know these are made very cheaply overseas and I seriously doubt they have quality control in place for what they claim this thing can do. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap so I got the newer version i'm assuming after they saw your video... and it is nearly impossible to make the magnet click at the 60mph level! i'm a 2.1 GHIN handicap, and I know for a fact I can swing 120mph...but this thing wont click! hahahha customer service said they've changed some things after the "first" version. im going to try it out again this week or its going back!
The only tool here is the grip adjustment and showing you what your face SHOULD look like at address. Thats it....i appluad your honesty. Because i questioned all those adds. Its so clear that none actually swong the club over the top or inside out with actually speed and kept there arms staight to stop the magent from clicking.
I know! I think when I saw them "demonstrating" the club it was just so blatant and why I kind of took issue with it. Any swing with any type of speed will release the magnet, I'm sure they all knew this. The "speed selector" is basically just 1 inch hashes going up the shaft. Now I'm no physics engineer but I'm pretty sure there is a lot more that goes into that... I'm ranting now... anyways.. cheers!
So I got a straight stick before I saw your original videos and all I can say is mine doesn’t click if I have a bad swing path and mine helped me get a higher ball flight and hit it straighter than I’m used to.
However, mine did break at the top where you can adjust the grip and they are sending me a replacement.
But so far this is one of my favorite training aids.
Glad you’re finding success with it! What’s your swing speed? Just curious… Thanks for the input, cheers!
Just saw this now, but driver swing speed is right around 100
I do have the straight stick and you are right. As long as you release the club, no matter what plane you are on, the club will click!! I also have the set of LAG shot blue clubs. All these training aids are collecting dust. However, I do like the ProSendr so far.
I’ve had a coach recommend prosendr, but $$$$$$. Maybe for Christmas. 🎅 Cheers!
Montage was hilarious. Appreciate the honesty my dude!
Glad you enjoyed! Cheers!
Nearly got got by the Black Friday deals they’re promoting. I appreciate your content and you’ve gained a sub.
Laughing my A$$ off at the montage!! Great video!! This is video evidence of what I thought would be the case the first time I saw that ridiculous advertisement. Good job. I am sure you have saved people lots of wasted time and money!
Thanks, glad you liked it! Cheers!
Definitely see / hear the click - magnet release with balls on the driving range that go straight, correct loft.
That's what I wanted to see. Just a no bs review. Your first video was plenty, but between this one and your original I won't be getting this product. Back to the grind 🤣
I appreciate that!
Great video dude. As someone that does some video editing for a living, I can appreciate it and the time taken. Love the content too as I was considering this product but was skeptical of the 'genius' claims. Must suck to be a Bills fan right now though, you guys played well.
Thanks man, self taught from scratch when I started this thing. Its been a fun process, cheers!
😂😂😂Very very very Good‼️‼️‼️‼️ Keep it up, love the videos, Gr Henri from Holland⛳
Thank you! Will do! Cheers!
Not that I'm a pro, but watching your last video you power the irons like a driver. The wrist snap is where the power comes from. IMO, the extra weight and the click is the reason this is a training aid.
Like a sharp knife, let the club do the work. That's my take on it anyways lol
I stand up and get wristy which I’m trying to fix. But nonetheless the claims say no click no click this fixes all swing problems. It’s just false and in my opinion a money grab. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap I appreciate the review and the response
Thank you for putting in the time to make it informative and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just ordered one, it hasn't arrived yet. I bought it because of the grip, on sale for $119 and money back guarantee. We'll see if it works otherwise I'll send it back. Thanks for the review.
The grip feature is nice, but even with mine I have noticed that grip positon has changed or slipped after using the Straight Stick for a period of time. I don't think the adjustable feature can truly withstand numerous impacts. Cheers!
@@GolfOnTap oof, not good. Well... I have 365 days to return it !
It would seem to me that the CONCEPT is solid. When done properly, every persons swing has a maximum speed. If that speed is selected using slider adjustment as the break point (not the gauge, that's just a decal), when the speed of the "top magnet stop" reaches a predetermined speed, the weight of the washer exceeds the ability of the magnet to hold it and it clicks. When the magnet is closer to your hands, the magnet itself is moving slower. As a user moves the magnet further from the grip, the magnet is moving faster and magnet lose the fight at a slower hand speed. Makes perfect sense.
My question to you is; "is your swing speed identical when too far inside, on plane and over the top? From a physics perspective, I would think that the max speed will always be higher when there aren't other forces preying on speed (like pushing the club from the inside or flipping it from the top to come outside in) and that the issue with the recorded portion of your test might be a reliance on the gauge over the physics. My sense is (I don't have one of these but I ordered one because now I want to know), that the goal would be to create a control. A magnet placement at which you have to swing REALLY HARD to get the washer to release and then back it down the shaft in small adjustments until you get to a spot where it only releases if the club is on plane at a speed you are comfortable swinging.
Thank you for making me think.
"Just click it" section was brilliant! So good. It's Genius! 🤣
Thanks! I’m sure I’m “just using it wrong”……. as others have said. Genius!! Cheers!
Thanks man! You saved me from buying something that seems, mostly, useless! Maybe I will just have to go the range and actually focus on my swing instead of trying to mess around with a click stick.
Glad I could help! Focused practice is the way to go for sure. Consider giving my Swing Tweaks video a watch. Cheers!
So I ordered one before I saw your video, I’m the same handicap as you. I swung this thing 50 times outside and I cannot get it to click Lol. I don’t know if they made the magnet stronger because I’ve got to give it a bit of a tug To pull it down 🤷♂️.
I've heard back and forth both ways from people commenting... too weak clicks all the time... can't get it to click.... just seems like a quality control issue. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
@@GolfOnTap I will say though that the moulded grip really helps me put my hands on my clubs the exact/proper way. So long story short I’ll give it a week and if it doesn’t click, I’m sending it back
Subcribed and liked for honesty
Thanks so much.
Steppin'-up the editing/game I see! NOICE!! 🧐 🤜🤛 💯
Thanks, haha. Probably spent wayyyyy to long on it, but outside of putting my awful golf game on display… it’s been fun learning all this editing / filming stuff (I’m self taught basically). Cheers!
Love this video... your easily be the enemy of flat earthers🙂
Bought both the 7 iron and the driver.
Both definitely help with grip adjustment. Correcting slices.
It give a relative speed estimate.
Helps with lag and maintaining and improving club head speed at release.
Can use them at the range as well.
how can it be??? It click no matter what you do.
Good video, be honest and grow the channel… we are all like you, not a pro but love the game!
That’s the plan! And yeah just a dude that loves the game. Thanks for the support, cheers!
Loved the montage, nice work.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to film and edit. Cheers!
How did you handle the “post purchase sales calls” 😂 man those guys at PG are relentless, I had to block their number
Lag shot has been the best training aid I have bought in the last 10 years
I basically don’t answer my phone unless it has Mum or Wifey or Boss (for now) on the screen. Haha, cheers dude!
Thank you for your honesty.
Thanks for the comment, cheers!
To each their own, but I love it. The grip alone is worth it.
Totally… I kind of want to just regrip a separate 7 iron just to use with a trainer grip. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
That answers my question about the straight stick, i have great ball striking on the range. I seem to need to feel impact in my arms & hands to get going sooner ,in the round irons only on 1st few shots. Of course I'm old & we usually just tee it up & go no warm up not a pro. How boring it would be if i didn't have to get out of trouble & then pull off a great shot every now & then
I've just found this review 7 months down the line. 2K subscribers, 400+ comments and 23K views! This is a great review - subtly but hilariously mocking some of the big U Tubers and proving it to be a bit of a scam. Keep it up, I´m dying to see how your channel grows!
Thanks! Its really hard to get people to hit that subscribe button for some reason, but I'm having fun doing this and just got to keep with it. Glad you liked the video, cheers!
