VisionTrack™ PRO

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Most golfers are confused about the concept of proper Swing Path and where the clubhead should travel throughout the swing. The VT Pro is designed to present you with a visual reference from the golfer's point of view showing you the proper Swing Path your clubhead should be taking while providing you with the necessary feedback to let you know when you're not doing it right. You'll quickly discover the ability to stay on plane and maintain the proper Swing Path, allowing for solid ball striking every time you swing the club.

VISIONTRACK PRO™ SETUP

SE TUP: SWING PATH SETUP

• Loosen Screw (S2) until the Swing Path can swivel freely. (see diagram 1-1)

• Right Hand Players: Place Screw (S1) into the (RH) position. Left Hand Players: Place Screw (S1) into the (LH) position

SE TUP: AIMING & POSITIONING

• Imagine a straight line from the spot of the ball to the target (labeled Target Line in diagram 2-1). Next angle the Stance Line to be parallel with the target line.

NOTE: The swing path should NOT aim at target

• Right Hand Players: The Stance Line

aims left of target. Left Hand Players: The Stance Line aims right of target.

• Diagram 2-2 shows an example of

incorrect positioning. The Swing Path should not aim directly at the target.

• Once in position you can stake the VT Pro™

to the ground by placing a golf tee through unused screw holes. (see diagram 2-3)

SE TUP: FAULT SENSOR SETUP

• Loosen Screw (S3) until the Fault Sensor

can swivel freely. (see diagram 3-1)

• Right Hand Players: Move the Fault Sensor until

the (RH) setup line is in-line with the edge of the Stance Line below it. Left Hand Players: Move until the line marked (LH) is in alignment with the edge of the Stance Line. (see diagram 3-1)

• Once in position, ﬁ nger tighten (S3)

until it is only slightly snug but still has the ability to move with little effort.

SE TUP: STANCE POSITION

• Stand in the area shown (See diagram 4-1 on right side) with feet aligned parallel to the Stance Line.

• Right Hand Players: Position left foot & shoulder even with Low Point (See diagram 4-1). Left Hand Players: Position right foot & shoulder even with Low Point.

• The VT Pro's Swing Path slides backward or forward in order to change ball position (See diagram 4-2). Changing your stance for different clubs is not necessary since low point is always at your leading shoulder. The ball position needs to move forward or backward in the stance for different clubs. Using this feature is important for the purpose of the Fault Sensor. You still must swing out past the Fault Sensor, even if ball position is further back in your stance.

• A driver, for example should be played up near the Low Point, while a wedge would be positioned in the center of the chest. Experiment with the slider to ﬁ nd the ball position that works best for you and allows you to hit the type of shots you prefer.

VISIONTRACK PRO™ PRACTICE

PR ACTICE: DEVELOPING YOUR SWING PATH

• When you ﬁ rst setup your VisionTrack PRO™ your goal is to swing the clubhead along the track labeled Swing Path. This path will become the foundation to building a great swing. Begin with the iron you are most comfortable using

- if you are unsure, we suggest a 7 iron.

• Align the clubface halfway between the lines marked DRAW & FADE, which are located behind the ball position. (See diagram 5-1)

STANC E W IDT H

diagram 6 -1

• Start with short swings - try to trace the Swing Path with the clubhead. Waist high on the backstroke to waist high on the follow-through is a good stroke length to begin. Gradually increase the length of your swing up to full stroke. Do this without a ball until you develop a good understanding for where the path.

• When you are ready to hit some balls - set the ball in the depression or tee it where the indent is located. (see diagram 5-2)

PR ACTICE: USING THE FAULT SENSOR

• The Fault Sensor helps by indicating when you have missed your mark. When you hit the sensor your swing is curving inside the Swing Path too quickly - follow the direction of the Swing Path until the clubhead has passed the Fault Sensor (see diagram 6-1).

PR ACTICE: ADVANCED SHOT SHAPING

HITTING A DRAW

• A Draw is a shot that starts right of target, in the direction of the swing path, then curves back towards target.

• Right Hand Players: Aim the VisionTrack PRO™ slightly right of target to compensate for the ball ﬂ ight curve (the exact amount will vary based on the amount of Draw required to reach your intended target). Left Hand Players: Aim the VisionTrack PRO™ slightly left of target.

• Align your feet squarely to the VT PRO™ Stance Line. Align the leading edge of the clubface with the line marked “DRAW.”

• Practice maintaining this clubface angle while accurately tracing the Swing Path. This precise clubface angle in combination with the Swing Path you learn with the VT PRO™ is how you achieve this shot shaping technique.

HITTING A FADE

• A Fade is a shot will start left of target, in the direction of the swing path, then curve right.

• Right Hand Players: Aim the VisionTrack PRO™ slightly left of target to compensate for ballﬂ ight curvature (the exact amount can vary based on the amount of Fade required to reach your intended target). Left Hand Players: Aim the VisionTrack PRO™ slightly right of target.

• Align your feet squarely to the VT PRO™ stance Line. Align the leading edge of the clubface with the line marked “FADE.”

SE TUP: STORAGE & TR AVEL

• Medicus recommends that you close your VT PRO™ during storage & travel.

• Proper care will help prevent long term damage.

• Remove Screw (S1) from hole (RH) or (LH) after use.

• Rotate the Swing Path until Holes (H1) & (H2) are aligned with one another.

• Inserting Screw (S1) through both holes and hand tighten until snug.
