Does anyone know where I can buy a laser that sticks in the end of a golf grip?? I looked around but didn't see anything. Does anyone else use lasers? If so what do you use?
Ill give you a review. Dont use one.
No doubt this has been addressed elsewhere before! Do you think it is a misguided practice to trace a straight line through impact even if that plane line is rotated correctly per D-plane? I am talking about the sweetspot tracing, of course!
Just a reaction.
It's a long used term, "Paralysis by Analysis". While it's undeniable that learning
the new concepts like "D Plane" are important, what is debatable is how you
go about applying them.
I can see "Trackman", "Flightscope", "3D" as extremely useful because they
give feedback from actual golf swings. The upcoming Trackman linked to Video
should be powerful.
What I can't see is how using things like lasers in the end of a club are actually
helpful. You can move through positions and watch the light move, but how
do you know what it does in a full swing? What if you succeed in transferring
a learned skill of moving the light in an exact fashion, and then discover that
you can't, and shouldn't swing like that? As suggested recently, a 2 x 4 or a
corrugate box might help more, because you can actually use it with a full swing.
I have the same problem with the aiming left or right with an implied precision
of X feet or yards. Not saying you shouldn't try, but how in the world are you
ever going to know that you really aimed there. I would contend that, assuming
no Trackman, you apply the new knowledge, hit the shot, evaluate the result,
and then tweak for the next shot. Even then, you can't be certain which of more
than a few variables actually caused the resulting ball flight.
Okay... I have used a 2x4 before and it doesn't work for me. What I will do it get everything outside and then save it by lifting my hands and the club will miss the 2x4, but it hasn't helped me at all with adjusting my path. I know what the correct path is now.. and I have some feeling for it, but I want something to help me check to make sure that I don't throw everything outside on the transition. I am not arguing that laser is the best way, I just wants something, anything to help me stop this move. I have been trying to fix this for a long time, and I know with 100% possitivity that it is the number one cause of my swing faults. What other way is there for me to know what I am doing at the transition or get the right feel for keeping everything down my body line?
Todd, what about the clubface?
Does tracing your plane line on a plane board with a laser help with clubface control?

You could really put a laser on both ends of the club. As for clubface, the Manzella twistaway and lag the sweetspot has ridded me of a chronically open face for good. I finally know how to square the clubface CORRECTLY. The lessons though are kind of not in my near future seeing as I live HOURS away from the nearest Manzella instructor. Also it is winter now, and I don't think I will be going out to the golf course to monitor my ball flight and adjust accordingly. That is why I wanted to monitor my path better. Just wondering... why are most of you against the use of lasers to monitor HSP?
