PGA TaylorMade Performance Lab Medicus Golf Assessments

  • 15 years ago
Tom Fisher, Technical Director of the TaylorMade Performance Lab concluded," We videoed their swings beforehand and looked at certain swing dynamics; we looked at path, face angle, speed of swing, ball speed et cetera. We noticed after they came back into the Lab after using the Medicus driver, we actually saw improvements in all of the above. Changing someone's path and face angle in 20 minutes time is pretty impressive to me. I think the golfers left today's and Friday's event very, very encouraged about the change in their golf swings and looking to the future. They're going to get their handicaps down from say a 15 to a 10 or even to single figures." It appears that practicing with Medicus will all but guarantee a smoother, more consistent swing while adding distance and achieving greater accuracy. Ian Wright, TaylorMade engineer and inventor of the MATT System observed, "For the most part, training with the device seemed to have, on average, across all players a beneficial effect on performance." Reflecting on the events of the weekend, Darren Huff basically summed up the feeling of all the test participants when he said, "It was an amazing experience. Learning how your swing was before and then after swinging the Medicus made a world of difference with my swing. You just couldn't ask for anything better than what was accomplished today. It made a big difference."
