David Leadbetter Swing Link

Has anyone used David Leadbetter's swing link. I have been trying to get one for years (approx 12) here in the UK but they are very difficult to come across. I can remember NicK Faldo using it in his instruction video Nick Faldo's Golf Course Volume 2, with David as his sidekick.

The reason I want this device is to improve the connection between my upper body and my arms. I also know Jimmy Ballard has a similar aid called the "Connector".

Does anyone know of a supplier in the UK? I would purchase one from the US but the postage costs make it prohibitive.

Has anyone tried it? I know it seemed to work for Nick Faldo on the video, what about anybody else.?

Yes I've tried this. The thing I find with this and also the head cover under the left arm pit drill, is that soemtimes I feels I start tilting or spinning when swinging. My thinking with the swing link is that it combine my upper arm motion with my should turn, so I can give it a real whack! I know with my brother when he was younger and just started playing, I had him hit balls with a waist bet around his shoulders and arms. I am not sure is this would work for me.
