My Personal Golf Trainer

Had an email from Golfshake this morning about the above 'game' on the wii and after looking at some of the videos on the net related to the product I think I'm going to invest in one. Has anyone used one of these before? I dont really want to shell out for it unless its something I can use regular. I had a session on a simulator a few eeks ago which I was really impressed with and this seems to give the same kind of feedback.

Info here for anyone not opting for promotional emails from Golfshake.  We will also have a copy to demo at the North vs South on Sunday evening.

It's surprisngly accurate and picks up swing faults etc, it's also pretty good just to have the leaderbetter instruction/video.

Great idea but not at £99!!!!

Maybe I'll wait until it comes down to a more realistic price.

I've looked at the ad and I'm pretty sure that you have to have the Wii Fit and a MotionPlus controller before you purchase this!

What I cannot understand is that I've been on the driving range on the Wii Sports Plus (I think!) and it's very hard to swing the Wii remote similar to a normal golf club.

Now if they produced a holder that took the motion plus controller and allowed you to hold it like a normal golf club then I could see it being much better.

But even then, £99 is a lot of money for what is basically a game.

I've got it and I think it's a great bit of kit. We all ready had a wii board and motion plus so not such a massive outlay. Not really a game as such, more a training aid. As for griping the wii remote, with hands like mine not such a problem, but if you have small hands then it will be a struggle.

Mine is on its way in the post.  Will feedback once we've all had a play (me, the wife and the 5yr old twins).  I also have a 'swing ring' (ooeer missus - just search on Youtube) and will be setting them both up to keep my eye in this summer, come rain or shine.
