WOW...that wristfirm thing looks like it could be very dangerous to hit balls with. I'm not sure how it functions (mechanically) but i'd be afraid of injuring something.

It is a very simple small device that doesn't lie and lets you know whether you have that FLW or not. You can't fool it. Brian Manzella had me work with one when i went to see him. We worked on keeping it flat all the way throughout the swing.

My left wrist was bent and i kept the face very open through impact so i swung WAAY left to compensate. So once i learned to a proper FLW and hit the ball down/out i didn't have enough swivel. So i practiced with it until i could consistently hit ball after ball without the left wrist flattening.

This really helped me learn clubFACE control and now i don't keep the left wrist flat throughout the entire swing as it does put a lot of pressure on the left arm.

Also i think this is one of the best aids to learn how to really control your wedge shots. I've noticed that the steeper the swing gets the easier it is to sneak in double cocking and a bent left wrist. The MINUTE you do that your distance control just goes OUT THE WINDOW. All of a sudden your normal 90-100 sand wedge shot becomes 80 and you're like WTF?

As far as the plane lasers, there is a video of Chuck demonstrating it on his website in the video section. You can simple tape two flashlights together (back to back) and make sure that one of the lights always points at the plane line unless you are parallel to it. This will really get you "on plane." However it is my opinion you don't need to follow it to the "T." At first it will help you learn where to be but i've sinced move my backswing a little off where the laser should be pointing BUT the reason i did is it put ME in the position that allowed me the EASIEST WAY TO DRIVE THE RIGHT SHOULDER DOWNPLANE which is where it alllll matters!

Yoda, how'd i do?
