Medicus Driver Review

The Medicus Driver is one of the best selling golf swing training aids ever to have been produced, some pros say it’s the #1 swing training aid in the world, who can argue those facts? The Medicus driver certainly comes with a lot of hype that’s for sure, and having never tried it out before I thought I’d give it a try to see whether or not the buzz surrounding it is justified.

Before I get into my review of the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver, I thought I’d let you know exactly what it is and the idea behind it.

What Exactly is the Medicus Driver?

The driver clubhead is on a patented dual hinge technology, which is designed to detect flaws in your golf swing providing you with instant feedback.

If your swing is out a little the clubs’ dual hinge design breaks down, which lets you know instantly that your swing is off tempo or off plane. This then gives you the feedback you need in order to correct your golf swing.

It’s believed the more you practice with the Medicus Driver the more you will develop your muscle memory, which will help you when it comes to actually hitting off the tee for real.

Who’s the Medicus Driver for?

According to the feedback and the guys at Medicus, the Medicus dual hinge driver is best suited to the high handicapper looking to increase the accuracy of their drives. Or the more experienced golfer looking to fine tune their golf swing.

My Medicus Driver Review

Intrigued by all the buzz around this swing trainer I’d been dying to give it a whirl, last year I managed to get my hands on one courtesy of a golf buddy who’d been using it, with some success too.

As soon as I picked the Medicus Driver up I was surprised at how heavy it was. It’s a lot heavier than any standard driver that’s for sure. But as it’s only a practice club I didn’t think it really mattered. During my first swing few swings I must admit it felt really odd, almost like the clubhead was going to fly off the shaft, or hit me on the back of the head as I swung back. So I took my time during a few swings to be on the safe side. Turns out the slower you go the more the hinge breaks down. Which is what you’d expect, instant feedback telling you your swing is too slow.

After a few swings I stopped being a little girl and swung like a would off the tee during a round, and to my surprise the club held together, no concussion or flying clubhead. The thing felt pretty tough unlike earlier.

To my surprise, after I took a few real swings with the Medicus Driver, I tried out my own driver and it seemed a lot easier to hit than normal.

Final Thought on the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver

During the real swings using the Medicus Driver I felt the club hinge break down a few times. Having been a tutor for over 30 years I knew instantly what the problem was and how to correct it. However, if you’ve never held a club before and made and corrected mistakes in your swing, then I doubt you’d always know the reason the hinge on the medicus is breaking down, or how to fix it. For that reason it’s not for absolute beginners, but it is very useful for everyone else.

It’s endorsed by golf greats such as Mark O’Meara and Camilo Villegas, so it’s got some pedigree behind it that’s for sure.
