Not Everyone Likes the Medicus Driver
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Here are some user comments—both bad and good—about the Medicus Driver. These Medicus reviews are the most helpful that I’ve come across. The comments are from real users of the Medicus dual hinge driver that were posted on golf message boards, forums, and places like Amazon.com. First the negative, then the positive.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS
“It is still heavier than your own driver, regardless, so I find this club futile to practice with. If you have something that does not replicate the conditions for which you are practicing, what is the use?”
“Make sure you unhighlight the check mark for rush shipping or you will be charged for rush shipping even though shipping was supposed to be free. When you call Medicus, they stand by their gimmick and will not remove the rush shipping fees.”
“Not sure why people like this trainer. It took about 5 minutes to get the correct swing, but found that on the range I could still hit better with my old swing. I also found it easy to manipulate the Medicus to swing over the top, from the inside, etc. without breaking the club. I can only assume if you shoot in the 90’s it might be helpful. If you shoot in the low 80’s it isn’t going to help much. The only positive comment I can give on this product is it teaches you a smooth tempo, but do you really need this to learn that?”
“First of all, it’s dang near impossible to hit a ball with this club. I don’t now, it might be me. The first time I swung it, it only broke on the take away. After that, I could swing this club 100 times in a row with out it breaking.”
“It probably isn’t for everyone though. You can have a good swing and break the club every time (Jim Furyk, Kenny Perry). And it won’t take care of the lower body or weight transfer.”

POSITIVE COMMENTS
“After just a few practice sessions, I was completely confident with the driver. The hinge can be adjusted with an Allen wrench for sensitivity. The handle is a rubber wrap which a bit too firm for me but is standard in size. You can actually hit with this club but your mechanics have to be perfect. You learn the importance of tempo, swing plane, and proper mechanics.”
“I feel that the Medicus Driver really allowed me to tweak my swing, especially my position at the top. I would recommend training with the Medicus as loose as possible to detect the slightest swing flaws. After training for about a week, I had one of the best ball striking rounds of my golfing career.”
“I was coming in a little steep from the top and the Medicus ‘diagnosed’ this in about three swings. Within 10 minutes, I was able to correct that swing flaw and get my shots back on line.”
“After swinging the Medicus Driver for 10 minutes I identified I was laid off at the top. It gives you immediate feedback. You feel the feedback instead of someone trying to communicate it to you. I wish I had bought it years ago.”
“No break in back swing but did in down swing. My left wrist was not in correct position. Went to the course and 98% of shots went straight. Finally a training aid that really works.”
“I realized that the Medicus shots were right on the money because this is an ‘all or nothing club’, and if I started a bad swing with it, it would break and not let me finish, hence no bad shots. Armed with this information it was a matter of getting the feel of the Medicus swing into my clubs. By alternating between the Medicus and my club every few swings I was able to accomplish this. The next weekend I did lower my score by five shots…and that was only on the front nine.”
“As one who has been golfing for several years, you may unknowingly develop a bad habit. If you don’t believe it could happen read Jack Nicklaus’s book! We get older/less flexible/weaker. This tool will help you. Everyone I know who has used it has developed a more consistent swing.”
