I have a momentus. I like it for warming up and helping me stretch out.

I knew Jim Sorenson (Momentus Inventor) when he was a teaching pro at Golf World (a driving range I worked at in Tulsa, OK). He was a pretty funny guy, not really funny ha, ha, but funny weird. Every day I would see him he would introduce himself to me as if we had never met.

Anywho, I have one of the origional Momentus clubs that he was testing out. It didn't have a clubhead on the end of it or a yellow shaft. But it does weigh about 10lbs. It feels like you are swinging a sledge hammer.

After I had left Tulsa, I had never heard about Jim Sorenson again, then one day I went into a Nevada Bobs and there is this yellow weighted shafted iron. I thought someone had stolen Jim's idea, until I read the back of the tag that had his funny little grin on it.

I am glad that he has done good. He was always trying one funny gimmick after another. One of his ideas was a 1-900 number where you could get updated golf scores. Now mind you this was before the golf channel and the internet. Still, I don't see how that was ever going to work out.

I think the momentus is good for strength and stretching, but I don't think you will suddenly be hitting it like they claim.

Another one I like are those hoola hoop looking things where you have to swing on plane. This definitely gives people a good idea of what a more correct swing plane is. But I have seen many people use them incorrectly.

I have tried those Swing Link things (David Leadbetter and Peter Jacobsen) where they fasten your arms to your body. I think it can give people that don't know how to make a shoulder turn a good idea of how to use your body to swing the club instead of just your hands and arms. But for anyone other than a beginner they don't make much sense as they put your arms in a very weird position.

But the best thing out there is a good Pro with good camera equipment and a few hundred balls a day.
