Matt,
I work for the Vharness and I have to say I am very disappointed with your review. Of course I am, I work the the company! would be your first response. But I am not disappointed because your review was critical of my product. Let me explain.
This is your email to us requesting a review of the Vharness:
So at no cost to you, you received a free Vharness to review. Yes we are nice guys, or suckers in this case, and sent you a Vharness free of charge. (To other readers don't request this because we no longer do it!) It seems like you had two main complaints about the Vharness, first was that it "looked silly" (to me this seemed like your main complaint) and the other was that you didn't get feedback from the Vharness. The latter claim is a valid complaint if that is what you felt, the former is rather childish and does not reflect the efficacy of a product, the comfort of someone using it, maybe, but efficacy; not at all.
You said
Yes and the cords from the Vharness go slack. The problem was that you were using the black cords which have less tension than the white cords, if you used the white cords you would have felt tension, then when you broke down it would have been slack and there would be a loss of tension. But you didn't mention that. You can hear people talking about what that feels like here.
Most people after using the Vharness get a sensation that their club feels very light- its like its not even in their hands, this is because the Vharness works the golf muscles in an isometric fashion. This allows for improved club head speed and greater distance. But the great thing is because people are getting better extension, they can hit the ball further with the same or less club head speed. Yes this is possible, and we have the results to prove it.
That being said, you didn't mention a lot of things about the Vharness. For instance- it is the only training aid you have reviewed that you actually hit your own clubs; not just one, all of your own clubs- from driver to putter. If you add that up on price value, and you wanted to buy the Medicus or the tour striker it would be much more expensive, or you pain would not be able to do it.
You also did not mention that you can chip, pitch, putt and take half swings with the Vharness. You can hit driver, or practice sand shots. You might say it doesn't matter because you didn't like it in the first place, and that is true it seems like you just didn't like it at all. O.K. Fine we are all entitled to our opinions, and some people just don't like the product so they do a lousy review on it; but you should still mention its positive attributes in order for the review to be fair.
To your surprise we have many customers who report back daily how much the Vharness has helped their game. For some people it helps chipping, for some it helps distance, some accuracy, some just use it to strengthen their muscles and warm up. One gentlemen improved from shooting in the 120's to the high 80's low 90's consistently in just two seasons working with the Vharness, so obviously despite what you may think the Vharness has merit.
But what really annoyed me, and I wouldn't have written this if you hadn't done this was--- YOU SOLD IT. Yes you actually sold the free Vharness that we gave you to review. You can see that link here.
You can say- yea but we gave it to you, so it was yours to do with as you please- sure you can say that and maybe that's the truth. But- and you might not know this yet as a 27 year old, but there is something called ethics, professionalism, and class- none of which have been displayed by you in this review. I am not only disappointed with your review, I am disappointed with mygolfspy.com for letting someone who would write a review like this on their staff. They usually have great stuff and it just wasn't the case this time. Reviews should be fair and should give both sides of the story which this did not. If you don't like it, O.K. just write a fair review.
