After analyzing the results from over 1300 customers, we’re giving the Medicus an 4 1/2 out of 5 star rating, beating out Refiner Golf (3 1/2 stars) for the 2008 golf training aid of the year.
You’ll find older reviews on this site where we first introduce Refiner Golf, a company that has been marketing a similar line of clubs for the last 13 years (1992) at 1/2 the price. While we still stand by our reviews that these are a solid addition to your training regimen, the overall value of the Medicus packages, extreme durability, and customer satisfaction leave no doubt as to the winner.
The Refiner line of hinged golf training aids work along the same principles of the Medicus. If we make an incorrect swing by getting off the proper swing plane, or have a jerky motion, the club immediately hinges. When the club “breaks” we are rendered unable to hit the ball.
- Medicus products tested superbly with bottomlinereviews’ readers of all ages and playing abilities. Our surveys give a strong edge to Medicus golf of late.
- Medicus is made of quality materials and is extremely durable in on-course testing. Our first Medicus 2000 we purchased in 2002 still works as well as the first day.
- Both Refiner and Medicus have US Patents on their hinge mechanisms.

Price Comparison of the Medicus and Refiner
At first glance, the Refiner appears to be almost 1/2 the cost of the Medicus which is what we originally reported. Refiner has bumped up a shade in cost since then but we forgot to count in shipping costs. The Medicus comes with free shipping when you purchase it direct. And by all means, you should buy it direct because retailers can’t price it below.
So let’s look at the new price comparison (figures as of 2008)
Refiner Driver = $99.95 + Standard Shipping $12.40 is only 30% less than Medicus Driver. 30% is nothing to laugh away, but even if we overlook the preferential customer reviews about the Medicus and it’s proven durability, consider the extras with the Medicus.
