Them whip trainer things.

Anyone had a blast?
A lad I play with had one in his bag yesterday, I blagged a few swings with it...wow!
Took a couple of goes to get used to it but once you do it's crazy, lag meister stuff going on.
I tried to replicate the feel the next few tee shots and managed to top one 30 yards so still work in progress
May look into getting one though as it did feel really good and I can't see any "cons" with using it, specially with my Swingyde on it.

I tried Alan's, was certainly weird and I couldn't hit the ball

I'm going into town now mate....I'll ask at Ann summers for you :lol:

I got one earlier this year. It's an excellent training aid. I was having real tempo problems and this really sorted those out. It also makes you swing in the right sequence so really helps with your timing and it's a great warm up device.
One point to remember: It's perfectly legal to carry in your bag. It doesn't count as one of your clubs and it's good to use just prior to around. However, under the rules you can't use it during your round.

Funny you should mention that as we were having that exact discussion when Beezerk was having a play with it and the lad who owned it had no idea such a rule existed!

One of the few training aids out there that people use beyond this initial few weeks.

When I went to the British Masters I noticed a few pros on the range using them.

I got mine last year and really helped with tempo.

Is this the thing with an orange ball on the end and quite expensive at around £80

Yes, but you can get them for £52 on Ebay, best price I've come across anyway.

 

[Oddsocks]

Any links as I really struggle with tempo

can get a 40 inch or a 48 one.. 48 seems a bit long? or is that how long a driver is including the head?

Yeah they look like a cheaper version, wonder if they're similar feeling?

 

[guest100718]

have a look at sklz gold flex.

 

[Beezerk]

Btw 48" is the one, the 40" is for women and kids I think.

 

[Dasit]

I have one of these, don't really use it though


Anyone got a guide for the best way to utilise it? Mine is the 48" sklz gold flex

 

[Gopher]

Yes, basically you swing it like you would a driver. However as it's so bendy, if your tempo is wrong or you swing too fast the head is out of sync with the shaft and it goes all over the place and just feels wrong.

I've got one and use it for warming up as well as trying slow the swing down, it's good.

 

[graham64]

Just brought the gold flex 48 inch after a discussion on the forum. Arrived yesterday only used it once so here's hoping

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I've tried it but didn't get on with it and would rather invest in a DST. I think a swinglyde would be far more beneficial but as with everything, it's a personal thing.

I'll second that. Brought one on here, had 3 range sessions with it and had a round today. Can already feel a difference in quality of strike.
