Someone mentioned earlier that there is a 10% discount if you use coupon code "SHAWN" so it was 80 dollars.

And the hips in the right direction. Most of the time if they do it's a lateral slide, not diagonally back into the left heel. It's a 2D illusion...
It's interesting you would say that, as Martin Chuck (whose video you referenced) seems to advocate a lateral slide of the hips as the initiator of the downswing.
Just my impression, of course.
Agreed it's a bump of the hips that I see advocated pretty much everywhere. The movement to the left heel is said to result in spinning the hips out
Big difference between a bump and a slide. Keep in mind, typically flippers are also early extenders. The hips are moving toward the ball. Weight in the follow through ends up on the toes.

I stretched out, warmed up a little, paid special attention to my form and figure out how to get into a good impact position per the instructions. A pretty alien feel and definitely not what I was doing with my hands and wrists before.
It feels powerful. I'll never make it to the range or the course over the next week so we'll see how everything goes after that.

Dop -
Be careful not to over do it on a normal swing. I completely agree with the analysis by Dan Whittaker. It gets you into an over-exaggerated "knuckles under" position when the ball is touching the forearm. But that's what it is designed for in my opinion. You'll know when you start going low left.

If it's not I still kind of like it though... it's pretty fun to play with.

He said earlier that the device promotes a low and left follow through, and he got the "swing to right field" bandaid a long time ago and he was fighting with it.
ISD promotes exactly what I've been working on and it is really satisfying when you snap it hard and the clicker goes off right when you want it to.

I've spent some time with it, and when I take the feel to the course I don't strike it well. I also have a strong-ish grip, so not sure I need to necessarily feel what this thing promotes.

... Hitting mostly 3/4 punch shots, I shot a 73, and I had never broken 80 before. Approach shots were all lasers. (Currently 10 index down from 14 a few months ago, now trending to 8.). I finally understand how to get shaft lean and de-loft my irons. Distance up around half a club even with 3/4 swings, but more importantly shots are starting on line with consistent face condition more frequently, and ball flight is much lower and more penetrating with mid-irons through wedges.
Still trying to get comfortable with full shots while keeping my early release at bay, and FW woods and driver are slowly coming along, but overall - I'm sold on the device and the release style.
Yes, that's totally consistent with my experience. The transition from 3/4 swings to full shots is a pretty big deal and takes a while.
This is what I struggle with.

Me too but then noticed my face was pointing left so practiced with the snap making sure the grip was square to the line as I released it. It's easy because the flatness of the grip. Easy to see if it's open or closed at impact

Probably a fluke but very interesting since I have plateaued in the mid 80's for a few months. Hopefully I'm starting to trend back down. It could be that the IS is having a good effect on my mechanics or that it's fun to play with and I'm just taking hundreds of swings during the day and building up my core doing so. Not sure.

I shot better my first round out after working with the IS as well. Glad to hear!

I really wish the ball/bar was reversible though. I am swinging it left handed as well to build the opposite side like the superspeed training stick program. They could have marketed it similarly as a speed training device on top of saving manufacturing costs creating a completely different left handed model.

It's amazing that not one so far has gotten it correct (or even close) when I explain how to use it and what it is intended to do when they initially give it a go.
It goes against just about all their natural instinct as to how they perceive to hit an iron shot and how the hands, wrists and forearms are supposed to work.
One person actually "got it" and then asked me more and I spent about a half hour in the short game area. He struggled with his short game and I explained how important UD was and how this device can really help there as well.
He sculled and hit a lot of fat shots around the green and told me he was terrible in the bunkers.
We basically ignored the "snap" and just focused on ensuring he opened the face a bit then focused on UD (uncocking) his wrists at the correct point and I illustrated with a club how this creates the extension in the swing.
We found that he had an ingrained fear of sticking the leading edge in the ground. He had too much forward shaft lean.
After a minor setup change I demonstrated what the UD does to help and that the extension this creates also gives him the "down" he needed and why he could not stick the leading edge in the ground when executed properly.
What an "a-ha" moment for him.
Then we went to the green side bunker...
Same setup, slightly open face on the sand wedge and a bit of a tutorial on shallow vs steep, but in about 5 swings he started hitting really nice spinny wedges out of the bunker concentrating on UD. It was awesome seeing a fellow golfer finally get it and really understand WHY!

Funny, all these years my image of release has been affected by Mark Evershed teaching that a fully uncocked wrist results in a shank. By itself, he might be correct. However, accompanied by supination and bent trail wrist (which Evershed advocates), ulnar deviation seems to work for this move. Interesting...
without knowledge are like the mariner

and who navigates without a course.
