BREAKPOINT 5: INITIAL MOVE DOWN
This is the key to getting distance when hitting the ball. The Medicus Dual Hinge
Driver is unique in that it has a more sensitive angle design so that the least flaw will
be detected at this point in the swing. This does not minimize the importance in
maintaining proper positioning as seen through the mechanics enforced by the
Medicus, but the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver has the enhancements to enforce your
ability to get the greatest distance out of your swing.
As the downswing unwinds, the arms and hands should be accelerating at a faster pace
than the body. This must take place in order for them to get into a position where they can
move together with the body through impact. The right knee momentarily holds its position
as the arms accelerate. As the left arm comes back to parallel position with the ground, the
right elbow should be very close to the body. Once again, the club shaft is pointing at the
target line and the wrists remain fully cocked.
A. Casting the club outward from the top, early unhinging/uncocking of the wrists.
B. Club shaft is dropped to a very flat position caused by trying to swing from
too much inside out.

BREAKPOINT 4: AT THE TOP
At the top of the back swing, your shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees to the
target line with your hips at 45 degrees. The right knee remains flexed and the
left knee points towards the golf ball. From the rear view, the club should be
parallel to the target line with both hands under the shaft for support. The clubface
is in a semi-skyward position and the right forearm should be perpendicular to the
ground.
A. Weight has swayed to the outside of the right foot.
B. Weight has remained on the left side.
C. Shaft points right of the target line and the left wrist is cupped, which opens
the clubface.
D. Shaft points left of target line and the left wrist is bowed, which closes the clubface.
