    This is so great! My golfing buddy’s son has Down’s syndrome. Him and his son golf at least 3 days a week together. He drives off the tee box, then his dad drops him around the green so he can chip and putt. He can drive about 125 yds and putts amazingly well, but rarely gets to play an entire hole because there’s always a group behind us. This will allow him to play his approach shots and get an entire round in!!! So cool! Thanks for showcasing this!

    This is AWESOME Rick! I’ve been a playing professional for 30 years, and I can’t imagine my life without golf. I’m developing arthritis in the “pinky” and “ring” fingers of my left hand at only 50 years old and I can see that one day soon; I won’t be able to swing a club. All those years and years of spending hours on the practice tee is taking its toll on me. At least with this invention, I will be able to stay out there and be around the game that has given my life so much meaning. Take care of yourself and don’t neglect your health!!
    As always, nice review!!

      I also am getting arthritis and can't grip a club like I used to, and I went to jumbo grips and it seems to help a lot. With regular grips it feels like the club is flopping around in my hands

    • @roryg54
      @roryg54 2 роки тому +1

      As 4 Wheel said, jumbo grips help a lot. Try the Golf Pride CP2 non-tapered jumbo. Also, a little heresy here, grip the club in the palm of your following hand (right for right handers). More stability and less stress on the fingers. It was good enough for the greatest ball striker in history (Moe Norman). Watch the UA-cam video of Moe.

      This would have been great for my grandfather. We have had a family golf tournament every year since 1972. My grandfather went to golfsmith to learn how to build clubs. I still have the set that he and I build together for me. It was not 6 months from the day he gave up his membership to the country club until he passed. This would have allowed him to play longer. At the end he had to drive up right next to the tee box, the ball on the fairway and even up to the edge of the green as walking was getting difficult. Taking the large swings out of the game would have been a benefit to him.

A club like this came out in the 90s (IIRC) that was about 1500-2000 (not adjusted for inflation), and was nowhere near this reliable, and had to be loaded with bullet casings (once again, IIRC). It was actually joked about in 'Home Improvement'. I get the feeling we'll see something like this re-emerge in a couple years for just under $700.
