Store Wide Sell On All In Stock Clubs!!
I love golf.
I love everything about the game. I’ve been actively playing for over 25 years—even though it’s 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 people meet me for the first time, they often say, “I’ll bet you can hit the ball a mile.” They’re wrong.
Being so big—and an old football player—there’s always been something in the back of my mind 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 something called a “Whippy Club” on a PGA tip page. I wondered, “What is that?” So I searched and found www.tempomaster.com.
Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of money taking lessons and trying every gadget and bit of advice that caught my attention. Nothing seemed to really work. But when I saw Dr. Melvin’s Whippy Club videos, something told me this guy was real.
So I spent another $100. I watched Dr. Melvin’s videos and followed his instructions. Sure, people at the driving range gave me strange looks as I lined up tees and hit balls—not very far—with a strange-looking club. But I’ve been looking goofy at the range for years.
I worked at the drills. I didn’t give up. Then one day, while doing Dr. Melvin’s “Right Hand Release” drill, the balls started flying—longer and straighter.
I realized that, after all these years, instead of powering my swing with my hands, I could use shoulder turn, weight transfer, and a focus on the left arm to really hit the ball.
Last weekend, at age 64, I played with my 16-year-old son, who’s on his high school varsity golf team. He’s pretty good—hitting drives around 300 yards.
For the first time since he was eleven, I won. On a par-71 public course in Tulsa, he shot an 80. I shot a 79.
We played our balls down. No gimmies. No mulligans.
Having only broken 90 about five times in 25 years, I broke 80—and I know I can do it again.
My wife told me about a conversation she had with our 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.”
He’s right. I even caught him secretly watching Dr. Melvin’s DVD.
Thanks to Dr. Melvin, Tom Melvin, and the TempoMaster Whippy Club, I’m finally a real golfer.
Life is good.

I was hitting balls at ParMasters (a local indoor simulator range) yesterday at lunch, 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 took turns hitting the Whippy Driver. It was easy to tell who would hit it well and who would struggle—based on how “handsy” their normal swing was.
I hadn’t swung my Whippy since last fall, and I’m always amazed at how quickly it helps me find that “happy place” with my swing. Several people significantly improved their swings in just a few minutes.
I forget how much attention you attract when swinging the Whippy in public. There had to be about 10 people standing around taking turns.
I guarantee at least two Whippys were sold to people in the Memphis area yesterday evening.

I went to the range this week. After thinking my tempo sucked over the weekend, I decided to take my Whippy 7-iron and driver.
I did it properly—ran through the drills, then started hitting shots, gradually blending in swings with my regular 7-iron and driver until I achieved the same feel.
The results were incredible. With better tempo, it’s so much easier to hit the ball well.
Long term, the Whippy really is the best training aid—ever.

Dear Tom:
I think the new video is beautifully done, and I can't thank you enough for sending it along. "Doc" did a great job -- no bullshit, no hype, just a very down-to-earth, laidback style that wins a lot of points in my book. So many videos have an artificial phony style, not yours, it is direct and to the point. Great job.

Dear Tom:
First of all, thank you for re-shafting our club at no charge.
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 smoother swing.

Dear Sirs,
I want to say how much I like my TempoMaster Whippy clubs. I have a 7-Iron, 5-Iron, and a 3-wood. I use The Whippy's every day to practice with. I have even used The Whippy Putter, which was wild. Using The Whippy has really helped my golf swing, and I need to continue using it. It is almost like an addiction if I do not swing the 5-iron at least once a day. My golf coach, Gary Battersby, turned me on to your clubs. It has pointed out my glaring deficiencies, but I will not give up. I will have a fundamental swing.
Thank you,

Dear Dr. Melvin
I am a PGA Professional in the Northern Ohio Section. Your Whippy TempoMaster driver is an outstanding practice club. I give over 400 lessons in a 5-month period, and your club simply gets the job done. The student receives instant feedback when swinging too hard or not using the big muscles of the body. Could you please send me your booklet of Tips and Drills for using The Whippy TempoMaster driver? Great Job!!
Thank you,
Terry Clark
Dear Dr. Melvin
Thank you so much for the clubs. Whereas we have not incorporated them into a regular program as of yet, they are being used. I think that over a period of time, they will be utilized much more, and I am confident of the benefits.
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 positive results.
On behalf of myself and my team, I would like to express our deepest gratitude 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.
Best Wishes,
