SKLZ Golf Swing Trainer and Warm Up Tool- Essential Golf Accessories for Golfers, Increase Swing Speed, Distance, Balance and Grip Strength

I saw the video of this that showed golfers using this to warm up before teeing off. Well, I decided to try it. This is what I thought of it: Pros: 1. Great for warming up - Instead of just doing stretching, I take this out of my bag and swing this about 20 times to warm up. It does loosen me up specially for the first hole. 2. Great for Lag Training - It naturally gives you that feel of lag, and is starting to show up in my golf swing. It is starting to be more automatic now. 3. Improved my accuracy - My grouping is much tighter now. My swing used to be very erratic, I could cast the club sometimes and really ruin my day, but this has reduced that now. 4. Gives you the feeling of what a proper swing should feel like - Once I got accostomed to the sensation of a proper swing, I am beginning to change my swing to match that. It is a work in progress as I still have a wicked slice that shows up at the worst times, but I have seen my hitting improve. 5. Great tempo trainer - That is the biggest difference with my swing now. I now know what proper tempo is supposed to be. It has improved my swing. 6. Great workout - I use this as a workout. I really try to set aside time to just just swing with this. I do feel that I am stronger and can hit the ball with less effort now. Cons: 1. Length - This is longer than the standard clubs so give yourself some space and make sure you dont hit anyone. Summary It really does what it says it is supposed to do. My swing has improved in tempo, lag and power. I swing it many times a day and is a really good swing coach. I have other swing trainers but this is the one I use the most since lag and tempo are my real weakness. *****UPDATE June 27, 2013***** I still use the 48 inch trainer all the time to practice my drives and fairway woods. But, I needed to get a shorter one to simulate my irons and Hybrid. So I bought the 40 inch trainer as well. I tell you that this is really an excellent workout. Not only do you get to improve the tempo and lag of your swing, but you also break a sweat. I only take the 48 inch to the course because my driver is the one that scares me the most and this gives me some confidence before taking the Big Dog out of the bag. I still warm up with this before playing and while we are waiting for the slower flight ahead of us. My slice is gone from my irons and hybrid thanks to this. My driver is another matter. I still slice about half my drives, down from when I used to slice ALL my drives. It usually happens on holes where I did not have any time to practice with this before driving. My driving distance has improved between 10 to 20 yards as well. I have other Swing trainers but this is the only one I take with me to the golf course.

Fantastic Training Aid – A Must-Have for Any Golfer! The SKLZ Golf Tempo & Grip Trainer has been an absolute game-changer for my swing. It’s incredibly easy to use—no complicated setup, just grab it and start swinging. The grip trainer is especially impressive; it puts your hands in the perfect position every time, which has really improved my consistency. Also great for all ages, both my young children are able to use it effectively! I’ve also been impressed with the durability—it holds up well even with frequent use, both indoors and outdoors. The smooth tempo it encourages has helped me develop a more natural, fluid swing that translates beautifully to the course. Highly recommend this to golfers of all skill levels looking to refine their fundamentals!

I bought this around Christmas when it was on sale to help with my golf game. I like the trainer in the way it feels. I can see where it will help my tempo and my strength. For a few rounds I put it in the bag to use as part of my warmup routine. BUT, around the same time I was using it I was also doing a workout routine and somewhere between the two of them I ended up with tricep tendonitis. As I was researching tricep tendonitis I read that golf downswings can exacerbate or cause tendonitis problems. I am not saying it caused the problem, but I stopped using it and stopped exercising to let my arm heal. I haven't started either back up, but I am about to. If you don't overdo it with this trainer, and if you warm up and stretch properly, I think you'll do fine. Once I'm back up and running again, I'll update my review. I know I'll be taking it easy first few times out with this. Update 11.11.13 I really like this SKLZ Gold Flex trainer. In retrospect, I still can't say if this trainer contributed to my tricep tendonitis or not. At the time I was using it I was also working out and perhaps overdoing the use of my arms in general. I doubt this caused an injury, but it may have been one piece of overdoing it. I still recommend stretching before swinging this to get your muscles warmed up. I didn't play golf much this summer with a move and a new job, but as I've started back up this fall, this trainer has been great. I had a pretty bad slice with my driver as I started back up, but in working with the trainer, I managed to straighten out my ball flight and get distance. I did a little work on the range, but the best results came when I used it for practice swings on the tee box on the holes I was using my driver. I didn't do it every time, but noticed I tended to hit better drives when I warmed up with it. I am still very pleased to have this trainer. I highly recommend it.

L’ho trovato utile per bilanciare bene i pesi e la forza nello swing. Inoltre ho migliorato molto la lunghezza del tiro. Consiglio in campo pratica di utilizzarlo prima di usare i vari bastoni

Tiene un tremendo peso en la punta y la flexibilidad de la varilla es exacta para mantener ese momentum en el swing. Lo usas un poco, unos 5 o 6 swings sin parar y luego le pegas a 5 o 6 bolas. Esto te dará una gran sensibilidad del tempo (ritmo del swing) y dejaras de acelerar o retrasar tus manos y la cabeza del bastón. También es buenísimo para calentar antes de empezar tu práctica o ronda. La calidad es excelente, muy buenos materiales.

I have just received today the SLK Gold Flex - I will use it to get more distance with my driver I will write more review later

Excelente ayuda para calentar ates de practicar en el range o antes de jugar.

conforme à mes attentes et très utile pour l'échauffement sportif et l'entrainement au swing de golf.
