I got this last week and here are my thoughts.
On Thursday I practised with it in my home. At first I found it very hard and awkard to use. I must be a swatter because at the top of my swing the plastic kept digging into the elastic. I had to swing in super slow motion and soon I got the hang of it. I did notice my set up was completely different. My hands were well ahead of the ball and my right arm was in a flatter position.
On Friday I went to the driving range and my first problem was I couldn't even address the ball properly. The plastic kept digging into the elastic bit. I sorted this by changing my left hand grip and making it a bit stronger. I started hitting some balls. I hit around 100 balls and then went to my club's practise area and hit another 50. I was quite impressed. My horrible push slice had gone and my irons seemed lower and with a bit of draw.
I played a round today and it was a nightmare. I've never hit so many drives left. Most were pulled - hooks and skyed. My irons mostly pulled which at least was a change from spending all my time on the right side of the golf course !
Throughout the round My Dad kept telling me that my new set up looked horrible, my hands were too much in front of the ball. I did say that I was changing my swing and it was bound to take some time to sort things out. Anyway I hit one green in regulation which is an all time low for about 5 seasons and I scored an 82. (Triple bogey on the last !)
Anyway to solve this high pulled hook, I squared my shoulders and moved the ball back in my stance. Is this the right thing to do ?
Overall I'm going to keep using "The Secret" and give it at least until Christmas to see if things improve !
