What some of our Customers have to say: 06/16/2011 Worst Golfer in Town Breaks 80 I love golf. I love everything about the game. I’ve been actively playing for over 25 years, even though it has been painful. I’m one of those guys who hits one good shot in a round and that’s all I need to bring me back next week to try again. I’m a big guy, 6’8” and 250 pounds. When guys meet me for the first time, they often say, “I’ll bet you can hit the ball a mile.” They are wrong. Being so big, and an old football player, there has always been something in the back of my brain that said, “If you hit that little ball really hard, it will go a long way”. I was wrong. A few months ago I saw, on a PGA tip page, something called a “Whippy Club”. I wondered, “What is that?” When I searched, I found: http://www.tempomaster.com. Over the years I’ve spent a lot of money, taking lessons and trying every gadget and instruction that caught my attention. Nothing seemed to really work. But when I saw Dr. Melvin’s Whippy Club videos, something told me that this guy was real. So I spent another $100. I watched Dr. Melvin’s videos, and I followed his instructions. Sure, people at the driving range gave me strange looks as I lined up tees and hit balls again and again not very far with a strange looking club. But I’ve been looking goofy at the driving range for many years. I worked at the drills. I didn’t give up. Then one day, doing Dr. Melvin’s “Right Hand Release” drill, the balls started flying longer and straighter. I realized after all these years that instead of powering my swing with my hands, but using shoulder turn and weight transfer along with an emphasis on the left arm, I could really hit the ball. Last weekend, at the age of 64, I played with my 16 year old son, who plays on a high school varsity golf team. He’s pretty good, hitting his drives around 300 yards. For the first time since my son was eleven, I won. On a par 71 public course in Tulsa, he shot an 80 and I shot a 79. We played our balls down. We gave no gimmies or Mulligans. Having only broken 90 about 5 times in 25 years, I broke 80, and I can do it again. My wife told me about a conversation she had with my son the other day. He said, “I don’t understand it, Mom. All of a sudden Dad’s golf swing has completely changed. It’s amazing. He hits the sweetest shots again and again, with no effort. I’ve never seen him so happy. It’s great.” My son is right. I see that he's secretly grabbed Dr. Melvin's DVD. Thanks to Dr. Melvin, Tom Melvin, and The TempoMaster Whippy Club, I’m finally a real golfer. Life it good. Tom Swan Tulsa, OK 04/13/2007 Went to the range this week. After thinking my tempo sucked at the weekend decided to take my whippy 7i and driver. I did it properly - ran through the drills then started hitting shots and then blending in shots with regular 7i and driver until I got the same feel. The results were incredible. With better tempo it is so much easier to hit the ball well. Long term whippy really is the best training aid, ever. Nick Clarke, 13 handicap, Surrey, England. 03/28/07 Tom, I found the ordering process very easy to negotiate. I went right to the clubs I wanted. The old site, with the double-column response was more cumbersome. I like what you have to offer on your website. With a product like the Whippy, I think it's important to get people to invest some confidence and understanding in what it does. Your "instructional" approach will help build that confidence. I'm bonkers about golf. Over the past 5 years, I've steadily migrated from a 22 to a 9 index, while my age has migrated over 60. The Whippy made sense from the minute I picked it up and whiffed a couple to the far right corner of my net. I'm now in sync with it and can't wait to apply it to all parts of my shorter game. I was in the habit of smoothing out my practice swings already. The Whippy enhances the same feeling. Your suggestion on the website that the 8-iron might benefit the short game caught me by surprise, but I see it immediately. I tend to decel on my puts, so I'm guessing the putter will help me smooth out my stroke there. 03/26/07 I was hitting balls at ParMasters (a local indoor simulator range) yesterday at lunch and was working on my tempo with my old-school tiny-headed Whippy Driver. A few of the guys who are always hanging around saw me and came over to check it out. I was probably there another hour while they were hitting the whippy driver. It was easy to know which people would hit it fine and which people would struggle based on how "handsy" their normal swing was. I hadn't swung my Whippy since last fall and I am always amazed at how quickly it can help me find a "happy place" with my swing. Several people greatly improved their swings in a few minutes. I forget how much attention you can garner by swinging the Whippy in public. There had to be about 10 people standing around taking turns. I guarantee that at least 2 Whippys were sold to people in the Memphis area yesterday evening.-jeff 3/27/07 I received my Whippy driver last week. Two days of swinging and I had two consecutive days of under-index golf. I love it. I swing it daily. Thanks, Rich

Dear Tom:
It has been my pleasure to utilize "the whippy" with our players on the Texas Aggie Golf Team and the students at the Texas A&M John Jacobs Jr. Golf Schools. The fact that we use it in these two areas illustrates the effectiveness of the club in teaching tempo to both very solid players and to the young and beginning players. One cannot hit a shot at all if the swing does not have the proper tempo. However, one can hit a very fine shot if the swing does have the proper tempo. I would highly recommend this club for all golfers to develop a better timed and smooth swing. Sincerely:
Bob Ellis

Dear John,
Thank you very much for sending me the clubs and video. You will be pleased to know that they are being used every single day for some tempo practice and I am convinced that it is doing me a lot of good. Actually I feel I hit better with The Whippy than my regular clubs. We had a funny incident with Arnold Palmer just after the par-3 competition at Augusta; he had taken position next to me on the practice tee and muttered to his caddy he didn't know what he was doing out there. He sounded bored and in the need of some excitement. So there I stood with my Whippy and pushed him in to having a go. I wished we had a video available because the result wasn't too good. Better said there was no result; the ball never left the practise ground. Maybe you should send him a club and tell him he has a year to practise till we meet again at Augusta next April.
I do thank you again and wish you a lot of success with the future of The Whippy TempoMaster
Company.

I think that your product has already helped me, but I believe that it will help even more now that I have the driver as well. I can't think of another training aid that I have felt as committed to as this one. Again, my compliments on your product, the documentation that accompanies it, and the video. It's all top quality. And, thanks again very much for your time--I think that the instruction is going to prove very helpful.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Melvin
The clubs create some possibilities. I am really looking forward to putting a specific usage program into effect. A couple of the players on the team have used them and have seen some very possitive results. On behave of myself and my team, I would like to express our deepest grattitude for your generosity and involvement in Tech athletics and more specifically the Women's Golf Team. > I look forward to promoting the clubs as a PGA Professional and as a coach. I hope it will create a relationship that is positive and beneficial for us both.
Thank you very much.

Dear John,
I have nothing but praise for your Whippy Tempomaster. In only 3 weeks time, I am beginning to feel the different position in my swing. It certainly lets me know when I am swinging badly. Please ship me the Tips and Drills.
Thanking you in advance.
