The Pivot Pro Golf Training: Many golfers don’t even realize that they are swaying during their golf swing. What is a sway and how can it affect your golf swing? A sway is the sideways movement of your hips during the golf swing or the lateral movement of center of your balance. In other words, your center of gravity shifts outside your right foot or it can be a combination where your right hip moves laterally outside you right foot and your upper body leans back towards the target.

The Orange Whip Golf Training Aid $109.95 The Orange Whip Golf Training Aid The Orange Whip is the ideal golf swing trainer and the perfect fitness tool for golfers.

The Orange Whip conditions the user to maintain balance and swing in an athletic motion that creates greater power, accuracy and consistency. Inspir ation for the Orange Whip While caddying on the PGA Tour, I had the opportunity to watch the best golfers in the world practicing and playing. From these many hours of observation, I began viewing the golf swing in a much different perspective. I began seeing the motion as an athletic rhythm in balance. I caddied only in the winter, so during the summer I had the opportunity to teach golf to students either new to the game or who have had struggles with their development. The key element the PGA pros had was an ability to swing in rhythm while maintaining balance. This characteristic creates power and consistency. Most of my students focused all of there attention on the hitting of the ball, this is much different than swinging a club; both mentally and physically. I have developed a teaching concept that encourages a person to swing the club with momentum to promote balance and consistency. The concept needed a tool to enhance the learning process; that is how the Orange Whip came to be. Jim Hackenberg – PGA Professional Orange Whip Trainer Benefits: ? Improve Tempo Balance ?

EyeLine Golf Sweet Spot 360 (3 Pack) $9.95 EyeLine Golf Sweet Spot 360 Developed with Todd Sones – Hitting your putts in the Sweet Spot is a goal of every putt, so use it whenever you practice! Comes in a 3-pack and each strip can be used several times. Meet the Sweet Spot 360 Even though I’ve given thousands of putting lessons, it didn’t take that many to figure out that most poor putters miss the sweet spot while great players hit it. Practicing with the sweet spot will help you to learn whether you’re hitting the top, bottom, toe or heel on your missed putts. Most players have a consistent pattern of how they miss putts. Once the Sweet Spot 360 helps you to identify your, you are on the way to becoming a better putter. How the Sweet Spot 360 Works The sweet spot works for all three learning styles. Visually, many players make the mistake of improperly lining up their putter face to the ball. The sweet spot helps a player to see how to correctly align the face of the putter to the ball. When striking a putt off center, auditory learners will hear the “thud” versus the “click” when they hit the center of the putter. Kinesthetic learners will feel the spongy contact of the sweet spot versus solid feel of the center of the putter. The sweet spot will give a player the feedback of incorrect and correct so they can start to repeat the stroke that gives them the correct contact, helping them on their way to becoming a better putter. Using the Sweet Spot 360 Peel off the adhesive backing off the sweet spot. Then line it up so the open face matches the sweet spot of your putter. If you find that you are hitting the toe of your putter, you most likely have an outside-in stroke. If you hit the heel, you most likely have an inside-out stroke. If you hit the top of the sweet spot, your putter is descending. If you hit the bottom, your putter is ascending. Once you are aware of your error you can work to correct it using the sweet spot. Every time you make a correct stroke, you will be rewarded by hitting the center of your putter, putting a solid roll on your ball.
