Homemade Pressure Board(weight shift board)

[Bfriedman121]

Has anyone successfully built this?

 

I have attached some images that may be helpful. It looks like a pretty simple build but I would love advice on the correct parts I should obtain.

Looks pretty straight forward.   I'd say half to 3/4" plywood (probably don't need to add the grass surface) and half inch square rod screwed to the bottom.

Looks closer to 1" to me.

I have one of these (haven't used in quite sometime) but found it to be very helpful. Another thing is too many golfers get "up on their toes" too much.  Certainly at address. Terrible position IMO. I used to try and make a couscous effort to slightly rock back (pressure) on my heels to ensure I wasn't on my toes. Makes a lot of difference in your ball striking. Toes - NO. Heels - YES.

Agreed its about 1 inch plywood and a square rod.  Just trying to figure out the best method to fasten it to the board.  Also wanted to see if anyone had any prior experience with this type of aid.  

I appreciate Plaid's suggestion on another aid.  The purpose of this one is more to feel the pressure shift and so I would like that "see saw" type of feeling this type of aid provides.

I'd drill a hole big enough through one side of the square tube to be able to get a small socket down it to hold the nut. Drill a smaller hole opposite to accommodate the diameter of the bolt you'd use. Or, you could use pipe strap.

That would work. I would personally just use screws from the top and bottom. Don’t thing you would be putting enough stress on it to break and I would care if the screw heads were visible on top.

Or you could do like the picture and use angle brackets and counter sink the heads like you suggested for the ones that come through the top.
