TacTic Wrist Aid

This product has helped both myself and my students in many various ways.

Chipping and Putting: One of the biggest faults in both chipping and putting is the breakdown of the wrists through the stroke.

By wearing the TacTic Wrist Aid, you get instant feedback on whether this is happening in your stroke or not.

With the putting stroke, again it is vitally important to not allow the wrist to break down through the stroke as this will cause the putter blade to move off line. The TacTic Wrist Aid will help you prevent this.

If it is, work with this aid until you can chip and putt without it clicking for a more consistent chipping and putting stroke, allowing you to keep the leading wrist firm throughout the stroke.

At the top of the backswing it is very difficult to see whether your wrist is "square" or "flat" in order to keep a square clubface throughout your swing.

The TacTic Wrist Aid will provide you with immediate feedback if you are cupping your wrist at the top of your swing, letting you know that your clubface is open. With help from the TacTic Wrist Aid, you will be able to square the clubface at impact more often.

TacTic Arm Aid

To keep a consistent arc throughout the swing which allows the club to meet the ball at the bottom of that arc every time, we need the left arm (for right handed golfers) to stay straight throughout the entire backswing, downswing and at past hip height on the follow-through.

Backswing: This product gives you instant feedback by making a clicking noise as soon as the arm bends on the backswing.

Work on this until you can swing back without clicking.

Downswing: Again, the TacTic will click as soon as the arm bends, allowing you to know if and when this problem is occurring which helps you correct it.

Follow-through: This is where the TacTic Arm Aid comes into its own. Most golfers who top, hit the ball along the ground or slice have a problem with the infamous "chicken-wing" allowing the lead arm to collapse.

The TacTic Arm Aid gives you immediate feedback to help you keep that arm straight throughout the hitting area almost immediately improving your ball striking.

Plane-EZ

The Plane-EZ is for those golfers who have either a "flying right elbow" of have a problem "coming over the top".

Backswing: One of the problems in coming over the top is the top of the backswing position. The more the right elbow "flies" the more likelihood of the over the top move.

This training aid will help you keep your elbows closer together and prevent that flying right elbow.

The Plane-EZ helps you to get into a "tray" position at the top which promotes wiith more of a "dropdown" move keeping the club more on the inside.  The result is that your  club will be moving more "down the line" through impact and beyond.

Swing Gyde

Here is another teaching aid that gets a lot of use at our golf school. The Swing Gyde is designed to keep your swing "on plane" at all times through the swing.

Backswing: If you are the type of golfer who has a habit of "laying off" the club on the backswing, then this is the teaching aid for you.

The club must work more "upwards" on the backswing in order to keep the club on plane. This unique guide gives you immediate feedback because the "arm" of the Swing Gyde must fit snugly onto your right forearm halfway up the backswing. This ensures the correct position of the club on the backswing.

Follow-through: For those of you who slice, hit the ball too high or hit weak shots off to the right, this is the teaching aid for you. The Swing Gyde promotes the correct release of the hands through impact.

Slicers and weak hitters typically "scoop" the ball allowing the right hand to work under the left.

By allowing the arm of the Swing Gyde to fit snugly on the left forearm just after impact, the right hand has to cross over the left promoting the correct release. This is a cure for a loss of power from the dreaded slice!

Finishing with the Swing Gyde correctly on the follow through again promotes the correct follow through position.

Middleclub

This is one of the most amazing clubs to come along in a long time. For those of you that have trouble hitting your 2, 3 and 4 irons these clubs are definitely the answer.

The short shaft and solid cobalt head allow you to get the ball airborne so much easier than any conventional long iron.

Although I have always been a pretty good long iron player, the ease of hitting a solid shot with these clubs has prompted me to remove my 2 and 3 irons and replace them with the 2 and 3 middle clubs.

(The number of the Middleclub corresponds to the iron e.g. a 2 Middleclub will go the same distance as a 2 iron)

These clubs have become so easy for me to hit that I call them my "Magic Clubs"!

Every club that I have sold at the school has basically sold itself. All I do is let the student hit a few shots with it and they immediately exclaim: "Wow! Where can I get one of these?"

Lumbar Extender

"My backpain has been eliminated. I use the Lumbar Extender twice a day for 5 minutes and no longer need pain killers before or after golf.

It's easy to use: you simply lay down on it and the curved arch gently flexes and stretches your back.

More good news: it is lightweight and portable, fitting easily into golfbags and carry-on bags.

I am extremely pleased to find a safe, inexpensive and drug-free way to relieve pain and tension!"

Laser Alignment Putting System

The Laser Putting Alignment System (LPAS) attaches to most commercially available putters and gives instant feedback on targeting, clubface orientation and ball impact zone. The laser attaches to your putter face and the cable coils around the shaft. The switch that controls the laser Velcros to the base of the grip. It is made of high impact, durable ABS plastic and uses 3 long-lasting, easy to replace L44 batteries.

To use the LPAS, simply line up your putt and fire the laser. The system will give you valuable feedback about your targeting that will help improve your short game on the course. This feedback will also help you groove a consistent and accurate stroke. The LPAS can be targeted at any wall or even the provided target on the instruction card.

The ZOOMER

The ZOOMER practice putting aid helps you develop a consistent straight back and straight through putting stroke while encouraging the correct posture with the use of a unique mirror that makes sure your eyes are directly over the ball.

Mel Sole personally uses the ZOOMER--both indoors and out--to work on his putting stroke.
