Bruce was able to fit his SwingPRO in his luggage and swing the SwingPRO in his cabin. On returning to competition, he did not experience the typical loss of form from vacationing. Dual Weighted Technology Bryan Haas, one of Titleist’s top 3 Master Fitters, cites balance as one of the crucial elements of a quality golf swing. Most weighted swing trainers place an unbalanced weight too far away from the golfer resulting in an unbalanced swing while training. How can practicing bad habits relate to a good golf swing you ask? Simply, it can’t. SwingPRO utilizes counter-balanced weights. Putting the weight closer to the golfer allows a full swing with out throwing off the balance. It’s like having an instructor with you at all times. Retain a balanced swing. Improve your game. It’s that simple. Interchangable Weights Early in the season, a 5 pound weight might be best. Later in the year 7 or 9 pound weights allow you to build on your muscular foundation. Several users in the same family with different strengths? With most swing trainers, this requires purchasing several training devices. Not, however, with SwingPRO. Interchangable weights allow the same SwingPRO be used through out the season, and with different users. L
