HackMotion golf training aid

[Tenacious E]

Seems like pretty amazing tech. The base version is $295, so not cheap. But, nothing in golf is cheap, and if it works you will save the money in lost golf balls in not too long of a time. Below is a video of how it works. Thoughts from our golf experts

This device wants to stop you from “ casting” or swinging from the top, right? It “teaches” the golfer to sequence his/her swing correctly.
I purchased a “click stick” over the winter that does the same thing. For $100. It works nicely.
“Casting” is a huge problem with most golfers (golf is a left- sided game played by right-sided people.).
The salesman sure does talk a lot.

So this particular device only really focuses on wrist angles. It measures them in great detail, gives you drills to work on what you doing wrong, and then provides real time haptic feedback during your swings. I do not think this measures swing plane, club head speed, etc. Ideally there would be a device that does it all. Click stick sounds great for someone who is already good and needs reinforcement.

I think it does measure swing plane but at the wrist/ hand level. In that way, this device might be more “ micro” than the click stick. You might be right but the click stick basically gives the golfer the same feedback. Golfers are always concerned with their “open vs. closed” hand position at the top of their swing, both these aids reinforce the correct (hand) position.
