I don’t buy a lot of training aids, but I liked what I saw about the GBox so I pulled the trigger on one yesterday. I’ll be posting thoughts and such in this thread once I get it and start using is, and I encourage others to do the same!

What’s it supposed to do? Looks like make sure you’re elbow is in a good spot and you’re turning all the way back and through?

Anything else?

What even does this thing do? I've seen GG's posts on Instagram about it, but I'm still unclear as to what he's trying to accomplish with it.

Haha, he was definitely chatty, but I suspect it'd be quite a bit different during an actual lesson!

I have been waiting to see folks reviews on that. I honestly would love to see a comparison of the the G box vs the Planemate. Would do it myself but dont have that kind of disposable income haha

I had the PlaneMate briefly (got in on the original preorder), and while I think it's one of the better training aids, I never got comfortable using it. I'll be interested to see how the GBox works out as my right elbow is troublesome for me.

I've never seen a video of GG where he isn't extremely chatty. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you get along well with the G Box. I'll be very curious to hear what you think of it.

Any particular reason the Planemate wasnt to your liking? Watching the videos I worry about the band coming across and creating friction against your arm, word probably hurt like a mug.

It's all on me obviously, but I always felt like I was fighting it while trying to use it. I totally understand that the purpose to help develop certain swing feels, but I never could get comfortable with it. Pretty much my love/hate relationship with most training aids to be honest. All that said, I'm going to give the GBox a shot as long as I can and I'm hoping the end result is a positive one.

Other than being soft. Can't you do this with a alignment rod through the belt loops? I follow him on instagram, but I am not really sure why. GG really kinda bugs me..

I believe that drill is more for turn, but I am sure there are other ways to address some of the things the GBox does. And yeah, he's not for everyone that's for sure, haha! Overall though I like the feels I get using it, but I haven't taken it to the range yet. I want to make sure I don't completely embarrass myself first 🤣

I have always struggled with getting my right elbow behind my pivot so this training aid seems like it would really help.  Wanted to see more reviews before pulling the trigger.  Thought the Planemate would help with this but it really didn't.  Let us know how things work.

I haven't used a ton just yet, but from what I've seen so far it definitely helps get that right elbow tucked, which is something I really struggle with.

I got my box yesterday and headed straight to the range. 
 

The G-box really helped my rotation and automatically engaged the lower body more through out the swing. It also helped me to synchronize all parts of the body more.  I also felt more powerful from the top after just a few swings - both from better rotation but also from using the lower body more efficient for power. Didn’t use a trackman so not sure if it was feel or real. 

I love it and can’t wait to try it in a TM

I thought so too.  I subscribed to his online lessons despite that.  They are very good.  I'm not a good player and I don't practice much.  I've dropped 2 strokes so far.
