I had this for a week, it is not the same or even close to a leasson with your local pro, or even less with Mr. Leadbetter but it's a nice tool to train golf at home at the end of the day that can make a difference. It provides all the information required to analyze your swing and it seems fairly accurate.It is a good start and I am looking forward to version 2.0. PROS: Tremendous feedback on every aspect and element of YOUR ACTUAL full swing, including visual feedback. You can use this feedback to train at home with the program and improve your golf game in the virtual driving range or using the drills presented by Mr. Leadbetter.For the cost of a few leassons you can have this at home.
CONS: Not their fault but you will miss the club weight and ball positioning. The Wii platform is slow and a program that uses so much resources becomes very slow as a result. It will be much better without the need to re-calibration of the board every other shot.
What can be improved?:
- Driving range feature shall allow you to use every club and shot (currently can only use Driver).
- It should be easier to repeat drills without having to go through menus and recalibration again.Drills should be at least 10 repetitions not just three.
- There is a very serious flaw with this program. The balance board needs recalibration way too often. Really frustrating. For instance every single shot in the golf course requires re-calibration of the balance board, a painful process that takes time and makes you lose focus and concentration.
- There is need of recalibration also if you want to restart a drill, and you probably would like to restart because each drillonly offers three repetitions.
- The driving range is the only place where you can repeat shots without re-calibration of the board, but the only club you can use is the Driver.
- The golf course feature allows you to use every club but requires re-calibration of the board every shot.So you will be feed up very quickly with this arduous process. Graphics are not good and the use of putter is awkward. I would have removed the golf course and added more features to the range.
- The drills are presented in video by Mr. Leadbetter.He is in a golf course with a real club on his hands and never refers to the wii remote. The drill presentation appears always before a drill, even after you have watched it and done the drill many times.
- Mr. Leadbetter does not take into consideration that you have a wii remote on your hand and not a club.Especially frustrating when he stresses how important is to feel the weight of the club head. In other words the drill video presentations seem copied and pasted from a Leadbetter DVD #you can buy his DVD's online for $20#
- Expensive tool$99.99 for the program, $99 for the Wii fit and $199 for the WII (WII BOARD AND REMOTE NOT INCLUDED). I do not play videogames and had to buy the entire set.
- Only right hand players.
- It does not measure partial swings
- No drills for short game or sand game.
- In many drills balance is part of the drill but it will be great to include drills only to improve balance.
- Other reviews complaint that feedback appears after every shoot in the course or driving range. I like that feedback but an option to turn off automatic feedback on the range or course could have been easely added.
- You cannot use your Mii. The default player is bold, notthat I care but is weird.
I use it every day now for a week and my scores in the real course have not gone down (scores have improved in the Wii).
