Taylormade Independent Scientific Study Medicus Effectivenes

We’ve all heard claims such as, “the greatest, guaranteed to lower your scores, etc. etc. etc…”. Medicus knew that their products worked but wanted to demonstrate scientifically that their claims were accurate.

The company went to TaylorMade Golf and their TaylorMade Performance Lab (located at Kip Puterbaugh’s Aviara Golf Academy ), the world’s most sophisticated, accurate and objective measuring and fitting system available today. While in no way agreeing to endorse Medicus swing trainers, TaylorMade agreed to perform testing on the Medicus Dual-Hinge Driver.

Previously only available to Touring pros, the MATT System at the TaylorMade Performance Lab employs nine cameras that simultaneously measure and record every position of the player and their club in real-time throughout the swing, all within one tenth of a degree. The system instantly creates a three-dimensional graphic image of the golfer that enables the swing to be viewed from 360 degrees.

As opposed to flight monitors that only measure what happens to the ball after impact, TaylorMade’s Performance Lab captures and measures the static set up position, start of the backswing, impact, all the way through to the finish in minute detail.

Medicus went the extra mile to prove that a golfer can materially improve their swing and performance, utilizing the TaylorMade Performance Lab’s ability to measure the golf swing in a way that no other system can. “We wanted to be able to demonstrate unequivocally that using the Medicus golfers can improve their results in a very short time.

TaylorMade’s Performance Lab gives us the ability to prove in an objective manner that using the Medicus can indeed help golfers improve,” says Medicus founder Bob Koch. The Labs’ system can compare swings either side-by-side or overlaid on top of each other at critical points in the swing so you can see precisely how the swing has changed. It also gives the golfer the opportunity to obtain a recommendation for the precise clubs which will enable the golfer to maximize their performance.

Medicus swing trainers provide instant feedback identifying proper and improper swing plane positions and good and bad tempo. At any given point during the golf swing, the Medicus will “break” when the club is either off plane or swung with poor tempo but stays intact during a solid golf swing.

Using Medicus will build the feeling of a fundamentally sound swing in muscle memory. At the Performance Lab, 3D graphics of the golfer reveals vital information such as swing plane, club head position, lie angle, exact location on the clubface where the ball hit, impact data showing ball position, launch angle , ball speed, club head speed, the degrees that the clubface is open or closed at impact, etc., a plethora of information.
