isn't this like using the butt end of the grip as a guide? It looks like that to me anyway, as if the bottom of the grip handle is leading the way
The video reference 30 inch but the link is for 40 inch pvc. Is 40 inch correct length?
The length of pipe is not 40”. 40 refers to schedule 40 rigidity, the thickness of the pipe walls.
@@randyhinton5392 30 inches so it can be swung in 8 ft ceiling rooms
It will cost more than $35 because you need 2 flashlights. Still worth it.
Honestly I made this training aid, and all I can say is a huge thanks!! It’s the best tool I have ever used, improved my game to the max, swinging so much better now, a massive thanks 🙏🏻
Having similar results myself …this “idea“ created with the pvc& lights along with keeping elbows in and rolling arms down with wrist(left wrist ) sort of closed ( closed meaning fingers closer to inside of wrist like arm wrestling move)through contact has stopped my insane slice and or snap hook/topped type strikes ….its really hard to overcome my 34 yr old bad swing and i havent mastered it by any means yet …but using this as a gauge /starting point i dont need to carry 5-10 different swing thoughts at address.which when adjusting i can just slightly tweak 1 thing at a time with little thought ,decide if its the way to go or not and find “my swing “ (correct swing) quite a bit faster ..right now its a matter of weakening my grip back from my crazy strong grip ive developed over the years… which is another new feeling to overcome/get ingrained which is clumsy at the moment ,but so far has made overall dramatic improvement quicker …for me this is huge
I made this training aid a few weeks ago "WOW" how much it made a difference in my last two games, You are the only golf instructor i now subscribe to. Deleted all the rest.
It was a bit more expensive to purchase the Maglite in Australia $40 each light
But so worth every cent.
Every night i walk past it i have a little swing.
Being a long time golfer but taken it up again now in my sixtys, i wish i came across this 30 years ago.
Thank you for all videos
Keep them coming
Frank from Australia 🇦🇺
Keep it up! Thanks for sharing
A golf "light saber." That's genius Ed. Flashlights ordered, and I already have 3/4 / 40 PVC and elect tape in the garage. Thanks for this tip Ed. I think you're right... This has got to be the greatest golf training aid ever!
You'll love it! Let us know how it works out for you
Check out my comment. Send your flashlights back. What I got is way better.
Put the lightstick together this AM. Instantly can see the difference between my current swing, and what a proper golf swing needs to be. Thanks Ed and Patrick for giving us old duffers a great tool to help improve our swing!@@TheGolfSensei
I am new at golf. I have taken more classes than what I like to accept and still could not get it. I made this gadget and cannot thank you enough! What a game changer!! I have improved tremendously! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Awesome!
Why has no one ever thought of this before now ? This works , swing this aid 50 times everday and you will be so much more consistent !!
Man… you’re a very smart individual. That training aid is genius. Definitely blows away any training aid I’ve seen in the past. 👍
Why have I never seen this before? I have watched 1,000 of golf vids and this is all I ever needed!
Brilliant!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aren't you so happy you never gave up. Watched numerous videos, took many lesson, bought many training aids and this video has helped me the most. I love golf now because I understand it. I feel good that I searched and searched and found my answer.
I just built one to help my 12 year old son. He’s hitting straight now thanks to you. I appreciate it.
I made one! I did an extra step that adds a measure of confidence- I drilled the PVC - first a pilot hole using the hole in the butt end of the maglight as a guide, about four inches up the pipe - then a slightly larger through hole, and after taping and inserting the flashlight I threaded a small zip-tie through the pipe and the little hole on the back of the flashlight inside the tube- 100% prevention for the light from ever sliding out.
My beam was all over the place and I wasn't hinging well - nice optical feedback! Will see what happens from here.
Great little mod!
Can you post a picture? I get the the hole drilling but a little unsure of what or how the zip tie is leveraged here? With only one hole, are you pushing it around the base of the magalite and cinching it atop the hole? Thanks
@@ElGuapoBeltran I drilled off center - a hole that goes through the tube two times, lined up with the hole on the butt end of the flashlight where a tether could b tied to the flashlight. It's a little fussy to thread the zip tie through the flashlamp inside the tube, but once it's made the lamp is secure. I'll grab a picture soon - if one is handy and have a zip-tie assortment including small ones - it's an easy way to secure the tool. I still use the swing aid regularly!
@ thanks!
@ there’s a loop on the mag lite- I get it now thanks
nice to see a fellow coach teaching this concept .. been teaching with flashlights and lasers for plane etc for 30 years ... even taken students off the range to a dark room using the edge of a carpet to teach / demo this drill … kudos 👊
Best training aid I’ve ever used hands down and it’s not even close. This device is pure genius. Not only is it easy to use you get instant feedback! Absolutely brilliant
Glad you like it!
Your training aid is the simplest application of logic and example I've ever seen in teaching the golf swing. I just ordered the parts to make one for myself. No hesitation. The guy demonstrating the golf swing looked like a PRO while using the aid. I can affirm value when I see it. Just unbelievable!! Thank You!
I made my own training aid for under 5 dollars. I went to dollar store purchased two flashlights, batteries and a pool noodle. I cut the pool noodle to about 35 inches. Took the flashlight and put it in the hole at the end of the noodle and another flashlight at the other end. It is not as sturdy but you get the idea of how to swing. Also grabbing it is thicker than a golf club but it serves my purpose. I had the best round of my life by using this aid. I used it for drives, irons, and chipping. Thank you so much for this video!!
I absolutely loved this video and your presentation. I'm a firm if not obsessive believer that building the correct/perfect plane will also build the perfect swing motion and resulting clubhead path. Your light sabre is absolutely perfect for teaching players how to move every body part or muscle group correctly through the entire swing motion matrix. You truly are a Jedi golf master and I thank you for showing me how to make it and use it. It's the capstone that holds the entire "build the plane, build the swing" method or philosophy if you like, together! Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You weren't lying about the Maglites being hard to find. I ran to every hardware store in town with no luck. Thanks for having the Amazon link in the description!
Brilliant !!! Man oh man I love this channel ! I’ve watched thousands of hours of golf “ instruction “ on UA-cam and these tips are the only ones that have worked for me. Thank you thank you thank you !
Great to hear! Let us know what other topics we can help you with
Came across your channel by fluke Ed . You’re my new YOU TUBE golf coach as of yesterday. Loved the video . GENIUS ! Just built mine and started using it tonight in the house .Finally a training aid I can use inside my house with the 8’ ceilings . For some of you folks I found a couple new Mini Maglites on Marketplace that helped with the cost . And I see Grainger in Canada stocks them at a reasonable price . Going to make a smaller one for my 5 year old grandson to practice in his house . .
Just happen to have every part I need and its already built. I used 3/4 SCH 80 electrical and it takes one wrap of tape. You have the best Channel on You Tube.
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Let us know how the training aid works for you
Ive made 4 of these for friends and family golfers since your video. The 2 rounds I’ve played while visualizing the light from practicing with this were very encouraging. Hitting it farther and more accurate! Thanks
Love to hear it!
I love this me and my daughter, made it at home and it was amazing,
It lets you practice in winter and the dark. The overall design is great ,
And it's quick and easy to make, not expensive. Thank you so much
For sharing this it's so helpful
3 minutes. The quickest I've ever gone from starting a video to subscribing. I've thought about this kind of training aid myself, but never worked out the implementation. Thanks for assembly and the product list. I already bought all the materials from your Amazon links. I can't wait to tune my swing and to get my kid's swing back on track. He's got a great swing, but something went wonky when he started growing very fast. I'm betting this will help.
It’s a wonderful training aid! Thanks for the subscription and let us know what topics you’d like to see us cover next.
Wow what a brilliant training aid, it gives me instant feedback. I am trying to teach my 11 year old grandson and I am definitely making it for him . Thanks a lot, and have a happy new year from Mick in the UK
Glad you like it! It will help teach your grandson fast!
Wow! What a great training aid. I'll be building one of these forthwith! Thanks Ed!
Let us know how it helps you out!
I want to thank you for making this video, as my wife and i are about to have our first child and i will have to do most of my training indoors for the next few months. You've earned a new subscriber and fan!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your new child
Pushing the Boundaries of Physics: Your actions are met with equal and precise reactions. Absolutely Marvelous
Love this video and training aid! Simple do it yourself training aid that actually works perfectly every time showing you what you are doing wrong! Thanks very much!
Made one for me and my niece and nephew. Hadn’t had much luck with consistency when trying to teach the basics to them. Both kids told me that this aid actually makes sense how the golf swing works
15 years ago I took and old thrift store wedge and put a laser pointer in the end of the grip
I got 2 maglites from Facebook for £15 and will get the pipe asap. This video and the one on not flipping your hands, and hitting draws and everything else is just full of lightbulb moments. You guys seem so cool and we appreciate you bringing it to us thx from England
I didn't actually make one of these, but I imagined the butt of my club illuminating the line, and it really made a big difference for me. I hit driver twice at my local short course and they felt effortless and went straight down the fairway, but about 40 yards farther than I normally hit.
My father-in-law is a 5 handicapper and he's super excited about this aid!
Ed showed me this years ago and it’s amazing! Make sure the flashlight is secure!
Where does Ed teach?
Absolutely incredible, real time feedback. Thank you Golf Sensi🙏for getting me back on plane. Perfect for winter training. You have a new subscriber and fan here!
Obi won kenobi of the golf instructors! Feel the force. May the force be with you. On my way to be a Jedi golfer!
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! Hope you’re enjoying the videos
Thank you for sharing this idea and this video! I’m definitely going to make this training aid!
WOW! Absolutely ingenious!!! Thank you!
Makes the most sense of all of the bull on UA-cam
The best golf lesson I ever saw. I’m making it for my 9 year old daughter today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is probably the best training aid I have ever saw thank you sir
Our family really enjoys traveling and discovering the St. Lawrence River, Ontario and Quebec. Over the years, we have discovered historic places, seen whales and magnificent landscapes and... this week, we stopped at an old fashion ice cream stop. Stunning. A classic road trip. Behind there was a mini put. Okay, even better. And further, a driving range. With difficulty and misery, my boy convinced us to try. And here we are, the whole family in crocs and pajamas, driving balls for the first time in our lives. Despite the beauties that the river has offered us, the gulf remains our most beautiful discovery to date. The majority of our budget always remains in adventures so a training aid like this is probably the best investment. Thank you very much. Mark
Very cool! Ill be heading to that big box store Tuesday. Thanks!
New sub here! I could never hit my driver with the same conviction (and success) as with my irons. I've always suspected it was my swing plane. Unlike my irons, I never know what I'll get when hitting driver. Lots of slices, and balls in the woods, that's for sure. I'm excited to try this method! ty!
Did this help?
Thank you so much for instilling in me the love of golf. I actually have fun when I play and can keep up with the others in my group. You are truly remarkable.
Thank for watching our videos! Glad they have helped your game
Great aid. Really helped with my over top downswing. SUGGESTION, if you travel and want to bring it along, just cut a shorter piece of pvc that will fit into your suitcase, pull the flashlights fm your 30" aid and your good to go. Maybe bring some extra tape also.
Thank you. Any one who has never been sure about staying on plane or even what or where is the correct plane, not knowing for sure, am I too shallow or too steep, am I coming over the top or any fault, your worries are over. This training aid ranks up there with sliced bread.
I constructed mine with 1/2" sch 40 PVC using Mini Mag lights with 2 each AAA battery's , (smaller diameter butt end) electricians friction tape, and a gripped end to simulate a regular shafted club by using tennis racket grip wrap (very thin) all from "Lowes" where they sell the pipe in a shorter than 10' length.
Just had an aha moment. I know I have a flat backswing that I tend to pull up to my shoulder at the last moment. Definitely going to make one of these in the coming days.
Thank you!
Very cool idea and tool. Gonna give it a try.
This actually makes a lot of sense. Will make my own in near future. Many thanks
I made this training and I use it at work between meetings. Great training aid!
This thing works!! A huge and instant help with my swing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Genius! Cheap, practical and effective... just like your videos! Keep up the great work!!! Thank you... subbed.
I made one for 9 dollars all in using laser heads and a wooden dowel. I drilled out a hole for two AA batteries, wired them in series and stuck a 3v laser head on either end. I have another 8 lasers, 18 batteries and 5 ft of dowel, so I can make two more without spending another penny. Pretty cool aid!
Love this aid as I'm a 10 handicapper and sometimes overswing and come over the top. This helps me with muscle memory and sends my swing down the target line. I made a modification to mine as I wanted to make a full swing. I used a hacksaw to cut a 1-1/4 inch slit with a V shape down the middle of the PVC on both sides. Put the electrical tape on the flashlight as in the video and placed it in the PVC. Then, used a zip tie to act as a clamp to hold the flashlight in on the bottom of the shaft. Make sure the zip tie is very tight and towards the end of the PVC shaft. You can use a hose clamp or spring clamp instead of the zip tie. Now I can swing away.
Kevin Kisner says this exact drill fixed a problem he was having with his swing recently. He discussed it in an interview with Smylie Kaufman on Smylie’s UA-cam channel.
Thank you so much for this valuable idea I just bought my mag lights on Amazon and we'll try it God bless and much success to you
Let us know how it goes!
@TheGolfSensei will do
I found this to help, but I used 1/2 " pvc and 2 laser flashlights it's a little more accurate
Where did you find a laser pointer that had an on/off switch instead of momentary switch ?
Great gadget and I can’t wait to build my own very soon…however me being me, I am already thinking of what I could modify just to be different. Thanks for this great tip of which I am confident will improve my game. I will feel more comfortable practicing outside in the open air.
I'm definitely going to try this out, and see how it does. Thanks for the video.
I love your content its as good as anything on UA-cam, i will give this a try.
Glad you enjoy it!
You can actually add a thin piece of tape across the flashlight itself to represent the face as well. That's the way I'm going to construct mine. Thank you so much this is an awesome idea!
Interesting . Do you mean partially cover the light so you have a straight edge representing the clubface ?
Amazing! I will give this a try. Thank you for this.
Hi Ed - over in England just made a lightstick. The weather is terrible here at the moment so managing to practice in the living room ( when my wife is out). Will let you know how I get on - think it's a great tool - thanks Mick
Let us know how it works out for you!
my wife is not going to be happy about me making another training aid :D
What a great aid… getting mine made ASAP! Thanks! And HAppy New Year!
Going to try this…. Thanks!
Absolutely geneius!😊
Top of the pedestal training aid!
Just ordered my flashlights. So simple! Thanks!
Let us know how it goes!
The Secret to Good Golf.........I'll be making this best training aid for friends and family. Thank you very much for your knowledge and wisdom.
Built one and love it 👍👏
Sounds good but what controls face of the the club at point of impact? Thanks
I just made one of these. Really looking forward to using this.
This has help me so much my 12 year old and I thank you
This is brilliant !!!! Such a great idea. thanks so much for sharing this.
Glad you liked it!
Love practical training tools! nice one coach!
Brilliant! Going to make myself one. Thanks
Love it! And you also answered my question about using a Laser Light !
This was the best thing ill see in a while, i understand now
will definitely try this. I struggle with swinging over the top. Thanks!
Love it , would it help any to secure some weight inside the pvc to make feel a little heavier????
You Sir are a genius! Thank you so much for sharing. Good on ya
What you are really doing is instilling the love of the golf game to your students. So many people stop playing because it gets to complicated for them.
Thanks Margie your comment made my day!
Excellent . How about just hook up lasers to the smaller pvc to be more like a club grip. Also lasers are more precise and cheaper ?
Thanks, Coach. New training aid for 2024 and very good one. Plan to make it shortly with credits to Coach.
OMG!! This is brilliant!! Definitely have to try this!!
Absolutely brilliant, sir. The K.I.S.S.principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid") in action. I hope you put all those overpriced golf gadget charlatans (begins with "L" and ends in "better", for one) out of business. BTW, I've found lying a tape measure on the ground as an aim line is easy and very portable.
Food for thought.
Take the electricians tape and wrap one end to simulate a golf grip.
That black tape will give and work it's way loose and the adhesive gets everywhere. Good idea but I wouldn't use electricians tape for it.
Thanks much!!! I had made something like this, but your design is much better.
I bet this is going to show tons of mistakes I have in the swing lol I never have understood the feeling of leading with the handle while pointing it to the ball. Pointing to the target line makes since!!!!
great swing trainer wild bill melhorn talks about the elbows lift elbows up create wrist hinge so easy
This is excellent. Thank you very much!
Great video , one of the best i have ever seen!
Subscribed as soon as I found this video. Thanks!
This is really good stuff you should totally patent this before someone else makes a gimmicky replica and charges $200
You don’t need the pipe, just tape two laser pointers end to end and grip the middle. It points exactly the same no matter the length of the shat or having a shaft at all. It is easier to have something like a tube to stick them in for ease of changing batteries.
Really great job. I’m going to try this. Thanks
Love this training aid! Thanks!
I made this and have set up a line in my garage and I have been practicing. It really seems to work. My question is that if you follow the line on the way down and through does that prevent the club from shallowing? Or are we assuming that with the weight of a club head it will automatically?? Thank you again for EXCELLENT content
If you stay on the line, you'll naturally keep your shaft on plane as your weight shifts to your lead side. This is a topic we'll cover more in future videos. Great question!
I thoroughly enjoyed this clip and will certainly make use of my manga lights, will report back.
😮 very illuminating!
