mrodock, you know this wise man!

We could make them, but most would not know how to use them.

Martin Hall is NOT a co-inventor of this product. A student of his- a local guy to me in south jersey invented this product while a student of Hall's in FLA. Martin backed him with some money and his name fore the info commericals but had nothing to do with the design or function. The secret of this product is in the green lasers that are more costly than the cheaper red lights. This allows the laser to be seen in day light. google green laser lights and check out the cost and superior quality.

If you really do Lynn's dowel drills- you will not need this product.

No- I'm sure Martin is getting credit since some of the money is his, but I know Tom Paul who made it. He was a student of Hall's. Hall's name lends some creditablity to the product that a known nobody couldn't. The stick was manufactored and brough to a class to show Martin that he was practicing to stay on plane and stop that nasty OTT.

The truth is he did not invent anything. He copied my pure swing guide and put two lasers in a pvc pipe. The green dot laser is nothing special and you can get the same results from a red dot laser or any dot laser.

Two Mag flash lights in a pvc pipe will do a better job and cost $30 tops. It will have some weight to it and kind of feel like a golf club which the Smart Stick does not.

With the Smart Stick or any dot laser trainers you need a mat with lines on it to show you the plane. Smart Stick will sell you that for an extra $50 bucks.

I on the other hand am a true inventor of quality swing trainers and have a 3-D laser trainer that feels like a club and shows you the base line, incline plane and club face rotation throughout the swing without a mat with lines on it.

I am release it on Monday 9-1-08 and will post a video at www.youtube.com/golfacademylive for you to see it in action.

I was not happy about the knock off my patented pure swing guide but Martin is a friend and I knew it would not affect the sales of the pure swing so I let it go.

Well I decided to patent my own laser trainer and with the patent now approved watch out Smart Stick, I am taking over the laser swing trainer market and if you try to copy this I will take legal action.

Also my 3-D laser swing trainer retails for less than a $100.

See you at the 2009 PGA Show in Orlando. I have a 10x20 booth at the front of the Teaching & Training Aids section.

The 3-D laser swing trainer is one of four new swing trainers I am showing that is going to open many eyes at the Show.

Was this post written to me, Tom or to Martin? You sound like a jilted (true) inventor. No need to take me to court, besides you will be too busy being the king of laser trainers- a concept you first developed I guess. Besides I thought Mike Austin invented everything. I was very impressed with Tom Paul and his Smart Stick. The GREEN lasers are a major improvement over the red lights (or mag lights). If I were to buy a training aid not found at Home Depot- the Smart Stick would be it regardless of yours. Tracing the straight plane line is all I need to know- I monitor my hands.

John,

You both copied from me. Before your pure swing i used a walking cane and flashlights and got the same results.

The point is these ideas have been around long before all of us began playing golf. I applaud both you and Tom for refining them and bringing them to market.

Don't try to beat um' join um' and we'll all help people play better golf.

In this great country of the USA you have the right to voice your opinion and choose the way you learn the golf swing.

Who said otherwise? Its not about the right to voice an opinion but the respect you have with your voice.

Martin Hall is CO-Inventor of the Smart Stick. I have had the opportunity to develop a nice relationship with Yoda and spent a day with the team at the Barclay's event where we showed the Smart Stick. I was a student of Martin's and was shown a very crude device that incorporated green lasers. I took his idea and expanded the concept into the current device. All should know that Martin has just been named PGA Teacher of Year of 2009.
