Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So let me start by saying I was torn between this product and the Orange Whip. I agonized over which one to go with. (I really didn't want to purchase both of them.) I came away very happy with choosing the SKLZ Trainer. I am a 5 handicap and am writing this review from my perspective. I have previously sampled the Orange Whip in a local golf store. The counterbalance weight at the end of the whip was an interesting feature. After playing around with it I determined it was more of a tempo device then anything else. Sure it will help you somewhat with your swing plane, all of the tempo trainers will. I ordered the 40 inch model with a focus towards tightening up those couple of loose iron shots that occur during my rounds. By holding it out at a slight angle, I can simulate swinging with a longer club or swing it normally for iron shots. The first thing I noticed was the quality of construction. This is a well crafted item that isn't going to just fall apart on you. The ball at the end of the trainer is big enough to not get stuck in your golf bag if you want to take it to the course with you. Swinging this trainer is great for ingraining proper feel of tempo, swing path, and understanding where the clubhead is during the swing. It's also great for working on things like rotating your arms through impact. It's easy to take smooth swings and feel your body react to it. The weight allow for you to naturally progress with your body moving in the correct sequence on the backswing and downswing. After working on sections of my swing, I switched to an iron and tested it out...very satisfying. Using this product daily will help you to groove a swing that is desireable, and more importantly, repeatable. For the price of this product it can't be beat. Take it for what it's worth. For those that have trouble trying to figure out how to use this product, it's very simple... 1. Start at your normal address position. 2. Waggle the club slightly forward using your hands, arms, and shoulders. 3. Move the club into your backswing. 4. Slight pause at the top to let the ball fully catch up to you. 5. Smoothly swing and feel your weight transfer to your front side as you complete your downswing into a full finish. 6. Rinse and repeat.
