Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have started with the back and forward swings in a daily basis this week, I have not gone to the course yet, but overall I feel a little longer on the back swing and fell like I am opening up more to the target on the follow thru. russtopherb 1 Quote My Reviews: 2023 Official review - Rapsodo MLM2Pro! 2022 Official Review - Edel SMS Wedges 2021 Official Review - Tommy Armour Impact 3 Putter 2020 Official Member Review - BagBoy Chiller Cart Bag Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme - Unofficial Review by xOldBenKenobiX Honma TR21 4 Wood - Unofficial Review by xOldBenKenobiX Driver - Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme 10.5, UST helium 5 Wood - .

Try one-handed swings... both hands; that's fun!! I am trying to figure out the left hand swing, I so a short clip of someone using it left handed to help them develop a longer back swing, I am trying to apply that but without bending my elbow at the top and focusing on turning my back to the target as much as I can, I am just having a hard time keeping my head still looking at the ball. Amazing enough, I found an old video of Tony Finau using it for warm up.

Have orange whip. Mainly tempo/warm up as others have stated. One drill an instructor had my son do was get in address position, then still bent in address put feet together, swing to top of swing and then without starting downswing step with lead foot out past normal width and then swing the trainer. Instructor said drill is what is good for creating positive angle for driver swing (kind of swing up vs down like an iron). My coordination was not that good so I did not like it but my son seemed to get the hang of it. I like to just do steady warm up swing and get loose with it. xOldBenKenobiX and Rickp 2 Quote Link to comment
