Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app 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.

Fricke Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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 mooremikea, mr.hicksta and longdrivenate 3 Quote Team Taylormade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
