Help is on the way, Neil!
We've spent many an hour together, and I'll be teaching in your neck of the woods [Orlando] the last week of this month. Also, during the week of the PGA Show next month. I'll shoot you a PM for a dinner date...my treat!
We'll talk then about 'home grown' training aids, and no doubt, about a lot of other things, too. Just like we did at Old Waverly in '06 after your late arrival due to that very rough and scary airplane flight. Hang on Sloopy!
See you then!

$200? Seriously?
Granted, using it outside is a nice perk, but for 1/10th the price you can make your own and still have enough for a pizza and a six pack!
The Pure Swing by Rover Golf would be more helpful to most folks imo, as it encourages the release more than this appears to.

Paint cost ... $1
Patent cost (patent search, generation, drawings, legal fees, annual maintenance for a year or so, etc) ... $6,000 and up.

Amazing how many trianing aids are TGM Inspired whether they know it or not, but it appears this one has some TGM background!

B-Ray,
I had the opportunity to observe Martin Hall last year for a day. Without a doubt he teaches "The Machine". He had a "prototype" of this a year ago. Green lasers and PCP pipe. Most training aids are developed by one person, and given to a top instructor to endorese. I give this one a lot of merit because the person endorsing it, is also the creator. And not to mention...one hell of an instructor!

You still can.......
Only the Original Inventor can apply for a patent. It's the Law. If you can prove that you designed the gizmo 1 day before they did, then only you can be granted the patent. Even if you refuse to apply for one, they still cannot have one.
