[V-Harness - Review]

My point on instructors is the there is a lot of smoke and mirrors out there - "you will get worse before better.." etc in instruction and a ton of myths and common thoughts that make no sense physically when you try to impart them into practice. The VHarness allows you to move your body properly and this is why it may feel weird to some at first but it truly allows the player to repeat the motion - you must watch the DVD however. Jimmy Ballard and Rocco Mediate really put fundamentals into focus.

I agree with your assertion about golf instruction in general. However, Matt's review was written for the MGS audience. It seems to me that you are saying the V-Harness is effective when used in conjunction with a good instructor. If that is the case, it kind of discounts the value of the V-Harness. Alternatively, it may be that the V-Harness needs better instructions and/or video or something else to help the average golfer attain better results with the VH.

Being a PGA Professional and Instructor I can safely say less than 10% of us really know or teach a connected swing.

This is a fact - even many of the highly regarded instructors are smoke an mirrors, snake oil salesman. If you arm swing, set wrists, stay on left side, keep your left arm straight, keep your head down, etc. you will not get good feedback from the harness. I've used this for about a year and it has produced amazing results with my students. The problem with most instructor thoeries involve the arm swing and how it should feel. The Vharness get you to hit with your body, not your arms. If you try to use misguided swing thoeries, it won't work. It gets you to use your body properly and the contact will improve.

I think Matt has put your training aid through a more in-depth review then any other article I have seen done of the V-Harness. I think you would be hard pressed to find another blog or forum that was willing to devote this amount of time on a single training aid review.

 

Testing Process:

• Tested the V-Harness five days a week for over two weeks (30-60 min. sessions)
• Got input from 3 different PGA Teaching Professionals
• Tested the V-Harness while using GolfTEC's motion analysis hardware
• Had other PGA Professionals test the V-Harness and return with their verdict

I stand by Matt's review and also feel as if this would have been a positive review of your product you would surely not have brought any of your claims to light. I do understand that when you send in product for a review, manufacturers and employees of those companies are used to getting positive reviews and often expect that to be the case. However, we feel this does not give the consumer a true informed decision about the product being reviewed on MGS. I am sorry you have a differing of opinion, however it does not change the fact that we put it through our typical training aid review process and this was the end result.
