Hi Everyone. I learned about this site, DelphiForums.com, home of the SpeeChain products from the search engine and archives of my friends at LynnBlakeGof.com I have a thread there, "Learning and Applying TGM with Disabilities by a 21 hcp." With Lynn's Forum, My GHIN hcp is now 10.9.

However, last night, playing in an indoor league, I was very embarrassed. The simulator recorded my swing speed at 87 mph. My longest drive of the night was 192 yards. The 65 year old man next to me was regularly carrying the ball 240 yards and the 40 year old man in our group was hitting the ball 350 plus.

I have an artificial left hip and a left leg almost 1.75 inches shorter than my right leg. I am 53 in another month. I am 5-11" and weigh 240 lbs.

I will buy your Speed chain and Torso trainer as funds allow, and will see if I can loose weight, I have started on Weight Watchers (lost 3 lbs so far), and increase my swing speed.

My best shots last night came as I tried to emulate Fred Couples. I did a RFT and tried to slowly snap my club head off at the bottom. My best competitive round ever was last August emulating Moe Norman's swing and shooting a 84 on a course I have never seen. That Moe Norman motion was simply extending my arms like Moe did, and Pivoting back and through.

Last night? With my 8 hcp. adjustment on Oyster Bay in SC. was 92/84


My last practice with new clubs:


shts dist/ carry run/ht/ Fade/Spd Vel BS SS VL HL


DR 15 172 156 16 17 9L 80 110 3540 434 L 13° 0.7°
4I 18 139 129 11 17 12L 68 93 4253 156 L 17.5° 2.1°
PW 51 89 86 3 16 8R 54 68 6789 137 R 29.5° 2.6°


I rely a lot on my hybrids, par 3's and short game during a round, as you can see.

I'm hoping your products are as effective for me as others indicate they are for them! Sorry guys, I cannot get these columns to line up!
I have been researching my 2nd fav golfer, Fred Couples (Moe Norman being # 1), in our archives and found these posts:

Also, we've arranged for LBG members will receive a 10 percent discount on the retail cost (not including shipping).

Regarding whether or not the Chain delivers the results promised, I have not been working with it long enough to know if I've gained any additional clubhead speed. I do know that I experience a sense of lag and drag as with no other training aid I've tried. And, I have never experienced the sustained feel of #3 Lag Pressure Point Pressure as deep into the Follow-Through and Finish as I do with the SpeedChain. For me, if these two benefits are all I get out of it, then that is quite enough. They will translate into increased distance, even without an increase in Clubhead Speed (which, if it comes, I will consider a 'freebie').
Thanks Lynn. For those interested you can go to www.z2golf.com and click on the speed chain page. Mention that you are a LBG forum member and you will get the discount.

By the way Lynn, nice pic of Brian Gay. I watched him on the range for quite a while in Milwaukee. Love his swing, no wasted motion in that golf swing!

Time for more "mad golf scientist" stuff!
