Power package golf

[Shane1]

Hi guys. What are people's experiences with this device? Good, bad or otherwise. What were you using it for?

[tinman143]

I really like it due to its simplicity. It requires rotation through impact vs just hands flipping through.

[greengolfer54]

Good device

[MakAttack]

Good device for a lot of people. Just make sure its turned ~30 degrees to the aft side of the shaft. I use it to take out some of the overset in the wrists.

[empa]

I have one and use it mostly with mirror work. It's a really nice tool but isn't quite perfect...Fit / attachment is difficult for fatter grips with multiple tape wraps.

 

I don't hit with it often but it's nice to work on shorter swings to ensure a proper wrist hinge and body rotation continuing post-impact.

just ordered one last friday, after seeing instagram posts from iteach who has used it with some of his students. iteach also says to set it up at the 1 o'clock position as well. I will post after I have a few sessions with it.

How is this different from the swingyde or do they accomplish the same thing?

It's more comfortable, higher quality, and helps promote connection parity with left and right forearm. All in all, I think the premium price for the Power Package is justified.

Did DC explain why?

I can't remember, but I saw an IG video of Tom Pernice and he had set a little on the strong side as well. I believe it's so the clubface matches the spine angle and doesn't get to open.

I have a feeling DC sets it that way to address that student's fault but that's my guess. The instructions do mention that one will hit it right if you're too handsy through impact. The idea is to rotate the body and it squares things up. I found that to be true IME.

I set it up around 12:30 / 1 because a more neutral position of the PP aligned with the leading edge of the club is meant for a neutral / weaker grip. If you play with a strong grip, you'll be able to hinge the club but won't be able to bow / flex the lead wrist due to the forearm cups.

 

12:30 / 1 works better to get a little more flexion in lead wrist but it's difficult to groove that bc of the cup design.

 

The only limitation I've found experimenting with the PP is that it's not ideal for a strong left hand + neutral right hand when set at 12:30 / 1. You'll need to strengthen that right hand grip as well to ensure the right cupping during takeaway.

 

Hope this helps anyone thinking about the PP.

So do you set it at 12, or a little towards 1 o'clock?

 

Maybe Dan could give his comments on the matter if he's reading this.

[tinman143]

I set it up exactly as they suggest which is the left edge of the left lever to line up with the leading edge of the club face.

[iteachgolf]

I set it up corresponding to grip. For most it's around 1 o'clock.

Wrist angle and arm structure issues

[Obee]

Great device. Also helps excessive down-cockers.

[carrera]

Is this a good device to work on a more "vertical" wrist set in the backswing?

[jut111]

Certainly could be. I use it to help prevent too much vertical wrist c0ck and choke down on it. If you use it at the base of the grip without chocking down, you need a lot of vertical wrist set to hit the wrist things.

I ordered mine and got it 2days ago. I haven't hit any balls with it yet, but have done some swings inside. The first thing I feel it does for me is make turn through impact a lot more than I'm used to (instead of flipping I guess). I'm happy with it so far, and can't wait to hit some balls with it.

[tinman143]

I've got one for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Update: sold!

[dhartmann34]

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Messing around with it for a few minutes, it seems like it's going to be helpful in stopping the overswinging and collapsing at the top of my swing. Going to get some use while winter is still around. Glad Martin Chuck recommended it to me.

[i*windows]

do you know if this would help with hooding the face in the first foot of the backswing? Its something I've done for years but cant stop it

[Cwing]

So what’s up with this? People still using? Good/bad?

[dhartmann34]

I believe it would help with hooding the face because unless you are hooding the face by moving the club in your hands instead of by arm manipulation, you wouldn't be able to get the Power Package where it needs to be, showing you that you have done something wrong.

 

Power Package is an easy premise and has been great so far in the week or so I've had it. That being said, it'll take lots of swings and time with it to break an old habit... But that's true for all things when trying to do something correct vs incorrect.

So what’s up with this? People still using? Good/bad?

I'm loving it so far. I made the purchase on recommendation from Martin Chuck (Tour Striker) after he did a video swing analysis on me and he was spot on with what he suggested and why it works. This thing is quite a simple tool, but I think will lead to big changes for me.

[dhartmann34]

Current swing from a few weeks ago while on vacation... Please try not to cringe

 

 

Swing using the Power Package from the other night

 

 

Obviously there are many changes to make, but it's been quick to point out and help work on some key issues in my swing.

[dhartmann34]

This thing is fantastic.... But it's showing me my flexibility is not. Really like how easy it is to use. Shown me that my downswing needs to start in a different fashion and that I need to get rotation through the ball. Going to see my instructor soon to get it all figured out. Highly suggest this for what seems like a lot of different swing issues that people may have.

 

Any other users out there that can comment on their use of this?

[CardsChamps11]

This device reminds me of the old swingyde. For those that have used both, is the power package that much better?
