Better Teaching is what has propelled the improvement in peoples golf games. Golfers are like snow flakes, everyone is an individual with certain mental and physic limitations. Seek out a PGA Pro and get better, one on one. Watching others videos and reading about others golf swings is a waste of time, only entertainment.
Years ago while giving a golf lesson, a fellow hitting balls nearby was groaning in pain. I asked him what was he doing. He pulled a wad of paper clippings from his pocket and said he was emulating Bobby Clampett's swing. I asked him how old he was and he said he was 75. I asked how old Bobby Clampett was. He said 20. We had a brief talk about the difference between 20 year old and 75 year old bodies until he trashed the wad of clippings.
The Blue brick is a gimmick. Jimmy Ballard used to teach inside path and sternum rotation 50 years ago. Evidently a descendant of his realized peoples fascination with golf toys and
created this item. Notice the name Clay Ballard on the website.
There is nothing new in the golf swing. The mechanics are the same, whats new is better teachers to convey the information to you. Get a one on one with a PGA Professional and improve your ball striking or just get some plastic and delude yourself. Pretty soon there will be another piece of plastic for you to try. It's your choice.

The reason 16 year kids are qualifying for PGA Tour events, is they learned from watching videos of their swings and other's swings. It's the way the golf swing is learned these days.
The Blue Brick has a specific purpose. It's teaches swing path. Most every Pro worth seeing, will use the exact same techniques to teach swing path, as the BlueBrick does. The BlueBrick also purports to help teach impact position, although I question its value for that purpose.
