Hi Shawn, I saw your recent video where you demoed the swing caddie pro. I ended up ordering one and tried it for the first time this evening. I really like it and it appears to be a quality product. I was wondering if you had any drills or tasks to use to make sure I get the best out of the device? I surprised myself by being able to make it click consistently at a setting I think was about 125 mph. Any gotchas or bad habits that the device might promote that I need to watch out for? What is the best way to transition the speed trainer to regular clubs? I haven’t hit the range yet so was wondering if you had any recommendations on how to best practice the next time out using the benefits of the device etc.
On another note I really liked your “wrecking ball” analogy in one of your latest youtube videos. The heave and throw task has really helped me better utilize my kinetic chain while staying bolted and centered and anchored behind the ball. I feel I can engage that “kinetic klutch” much better now (misspelled on purpose ;). That would be another good name descriptor for your method.
Thanks so much for your help. I’m having so much fun hitting the ball farther and more consistent than ever.

Great comment here Dave! Thank you so much for taking the time to write as others in our community are going to benefit greatly! The Swing caddy is awesome for feeling how intuitive the generation of g-forces in the swing can be. You just are looking for the click to be past the ball and towards the target about where the intermediate point would be or a bit past that. If you go to the http://www.swingimpact.com site, you should see a training video I did with Savy and Mu on the Swing Caddy right there on the front page. Enjoy!
Shawn,
So I watched the video and did the drills and then decided to take it to the range since it was a very nice day. All I can say is wow! I hit a gear I didn’t think was possible. I would do 3 or 4 swings with the trainer then I would hit 10 or so balls with the clubs. When I connected well with my driver it looked like nothing I’d ever seen. I was consistently hitting high launch, low spin draws out of the back of the range…300+. My 3 wood ball flight now looks like my driver used to and my 5i ball flight looks like my 5 wood used to…Crazy how that device has just ignited my kinetic chain. I also was able to max out the setting at 135 mph and get 3 clicks in a row. So something is definitely happening. I’m thinking a new gapping session will definitely be in order as I’m guessing my swing speed is at least 10 mph faster if not even faster. I was so surprised I had Very few miss hits. Tendency was to be a bit thin…I did have to weaken my grip a bit on my irons as I was really hitting too strong of a draw on all clubs with my previous club face closure at address. Is that normal? I really feel I am getting through the ball so much better having used the swing caddie pro. Definitely recommend it for anyone who has always felt they should be hitting the ball farther but a short circuit in their kinetic chain (defaulting to ball) or not knowing how to engage the legs has been holding them back.

Right on Dave! And yes, on the tweaks with irons for club face and or grip. Some of my students need to close more and some less on woods compared to irons. I have one right now that has the biggest spread I have ever seen where irons are very weak and woods are very strong.
