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
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
Food for thought.
Take the electricians tape and wrap one end to simulate a golf grip.
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!
Thank you for sharing this idea and this video! I’m definitely going to make this training aid!
Amazing! I will give this a try. Thank you for this.
Hack for this tool... Most aluminum broom handles seem to be 3/4". If you have a pipe cutter, it is pretty easy to cut one to length. A little electrical tape around each end to hide any sharp edges and you're good to go. Bonus is aluminum's malleability...pinch each end a bit after you put each flashlight in and they are less likely to fly out when you add a little speed. I haven't added a lot of speed yet, but it feels pretty snug. I'll let you know if I break anything!
WOW! Absolutely ingenious!!! Thank you!
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!
What a great aid… getting mine made ASAP! Thanks! And HAppy New Year!
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 👊
Very cool! Ill be heading to that big box store Tuesday. Thanks!
Man… you’re a very smart individual. That training aid is genius. Definitely blows away any training aid I’ve seen in the past. 👍
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 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
Absolutely geneius!😊
Top of the pedestal training aid!
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!
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
This thing works!! A huge and instant help with my swing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
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!
This is probably the best training aid I have ever saw thank you sir
My father-in-law is a 5 handicapper and he's super excited about this aid!
I'm definitely going to try this out, and see how it does. Thanks for the video.
Wow! What a great training aid. I'll be building one of these forthwith! Thanks Ed!
Let us know how it helps you out!
This device is wonderful! Thank you!
Brilliant !!! Man oh man I love this channel ! I’ve watched thousands of hours of golf “ instruction “ on CZcams 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
I just built one to help my 12 year old son. He’s hitting straight now thanks to you. I appreciate it.
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 . .
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!
Pushing the Boundaries of Physics: Your actions are met with equal and precise reactions. Absolutely Marvelous
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
Love it! And you also answered my question about using a Laser Light !
Love practical training tools! nice one coach!
Great simple aid that will guide you through the swing plane!
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!
Great tip. I was looking for same with laser but this is easy. Creating soon. Thanks
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!
I am just starting with my son. Thank you for sharing this!
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.
OMG!! This is brilliant!! Definitely have to try this!!
I made this training and I use it at work between meetings. Great training aid!
Thanks for this great and helpful post.
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.
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!
Thanks, Coach. New training aid for 2024 and very good one. Plan to make it shortly with credits to Coach.
Ed showed me this years ago and it’s amazing! Make sure the flashlight is secure!
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
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.
Thanks much!!! I had made something like this, but your design is much better.
Really great job. I’m going to try this. Thanks
Great video , one of the best i have ever seen!
Interesting video, going to try it. Thanks
This is excellent. Thank you very much!
This is brilliant !!!! Such a great idea. thanks so much for sharing this.
Glad you liked it!
You Sir are a genius! Thank you so much for sharing. Good on ya
I really REALLY like this. Wow. Nice 👍👍
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!
Thanks a wonderful top will get down to making one
Subscribed as soon as I found this video. Thanks!
will definitely try this. I struggle with swinging over the top. Thanks!
I live in North Wales UK and I wanted to thank you for sharing all your knowledge. It has helped me greatly and I really appreciate your help.
I have made and used this training aid and my swing has greatly improved.
Best wishes to you and Patrick
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 !!
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.
Great idea! Thanks.
Built one and love it 👍👏
Brilliant and thank you !
that's a nice clever and inexpensive too. i've had a laser type thing that attaches to the end of the grip end but i never use it. i'm gonna make one of these and use it, thnx.
Love this training aid! Thanks!
I like your idea gonna make me one of those. Thanks
Obi won kenobi of the golf instructors! Feel the force. May the force be with you. On my way to be a Jedi golfer!
This was the best thing ill see in a while, i understand now
Just ordered my flashlights. So simple! Thanks!
Let us know how it goes!
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!
Amazing insight thx!
I love your content its as good as anything on CZcams, i will give this a try.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love it, thanks. I think I've going to buy a dozen cat toy lasers and go to town on my winter clubs. Thanks a ton!
This is a great idea
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.
The best golf lesson I ever saw. I’m making it for my 9 year old daughter today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This has help me so much my 12 year old and I thank you
Wow! This is great!
This totally makes sense!!!
great swing trainer wild bill melhorn talks about the elbows lift elbows up create wrist hinge so easy
Amazing this 💯 percent work thanks so much I'm killing it now
Awesome!
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!
15 years ago I took and old thrift store wedge and put a laser pointer in the end of the grip
Simply Simple !
Brilliant!
A Great New Year Gift
Makes the most sense of all of the bull on CZcams
I found this to help, but I used 1/2 " pvc and 2 laser flashlights it's a little more accurate
I’m going to make one thanks
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!!!!
Hi there, I have just made one of your laser light training aids and just as you said on the backswing my light was pointing way over the golf ball almost on the far wall. So i am training to find the right plane. I am looking forward
to using it regularly to improve my swingplane
Practice with it every day and you’ll be amazed how much it improves your swing!
😮 very illuminating!
I found you now all will find you. Thank you sir.
That was a super learning video!! I have my equipment ordered. I need to check how long are the canes on the floor and how far apart are they when you lay them down?? Thank you so much and happy new year!!!
That part doesn’t matter, you just need a long target line. A single long piece of tape along the ground in a straight line works perfectly
dang bro! This is sick. Sending to my golf coach now.
I bought a 3/4 pvc pipe and the mag lite mini and the entire flashlight slides through the hole. 😩
I think the light should be pointed at some point slightly outside (away from you) the ball line since the hands actually rotate above the plain.
