Watchnut33 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I’ve decided I’m going to get one of the two after reading reviews and forum suggestions. I’m leaning towards orange whip but it’s a close race.

PMookie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hmm. Seems like two completely different uses and purposes in these options. Warming-up, getting loose, and stretching before a round? OW. To actually use for hitting balls, training a swing, visual and tactile feedback? Lag. Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish....

golfish! Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Have you looked into the golf sling shot? I just bought one and started a regimen with it. You can use it to warm up and for swing training. I am using the Super Speed training regimen with the golf sling shot. IMO it is good for overspeed training and proper timing of the swing. After just one session I am seeing a 2 MPH average increase on my driver swing speed. Need to keep it up and see if it stays but so far so good! tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver : SIM2 Max 9* MC Kuro Kago Silver 60 Stiff Woods : GS53 3 Wood 14* Mitsubish Tensei Blue 73g Regular Hybrids: 949X Project X HZRDUS RDX Black Irons : 699 Pro Black 5-AW 1* flat KBS Tour V 90 Stiff Shafts Wedges : 52, 56, 60 Putter : Spider Red Bag : lightweight cart bag | Dry Series Bag Ball : TP5 PIX (2019) | ProV1x (2021) Rangefinder : ULT-X Pushcart : M5 GPS DHC Electric Push Cart SoCal, USA Right handed HDCP 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an Orange Whip (driver length) a few years ago, it is intended to improve sequencing, but I really like it for conditioning and getting loose before playing or hitting balls on range. It is always in the bag. I tried a Lag Shot, it was the 7 iron, it was nice, and while it is intended as a swing aid, it can be used to warm-up club also. For conditioning and warm-up, I'd go with Orange Whip. Can't hit anything with it, especially the ground. Both will help with sequencing. And both are well-made products. If you want something to improve ball-striking, then Lag Shot. If you get one, please watch the videos and be patient. And aim a little left.

tyryska Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have the Orange Whip Lightspeed and have actually gained some a few yards off the tee after using it. So, I would recommend it if you are looking for speed training. But I have heard great things about the normal Orange Whip Trainer for tempo. tony@CIC 1 Quote Right handed golfer from Austin, Texas (Handicap: 8.1) Driver: Titleist 907D2 (9.5 degree with stiff shaft) Fairway Wood: Tayormade RocketBallz Stage 2 (3 Wood) Hybrid: Cleveland CG Black (2 Iron) Irons: Mizuno MP20 MMCs (Standard length and lie with stiff steel shafts) Wedges: Callaway MD3 and Sub70 Putter: Scotty Cameron California Coronado Ball: Pro V1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this begs the question - I most certainly can grab a driver or other club out of my bag and make practice swings between shots. Since I'm able to hit shots with the lagshot what if I only normally carry 13 clubs? Am I able to then swing that club? I could in theory play a shot with it.

DawgDaddy Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm in the other camp, I have had the Orange Whip and the Sklz Gold Flex. Because of back surgery I had to sell both. I bought a GForce Golf Swing Trainer 7 Iron as it has the flexible shaft and is used for hitting golf balls. When I bought the GForce before I had ever heard of the Lag Shot but they seem to be essentially the same thing for a very close price. I am able to use the GForce before rounds just as I used to do the Orange Whip. It was my favorite all time training aid but as I said because of the back surgery I had to give it up and get something more manageable for my warm up. Now I favor the GForce because of the ability to also use it to hit balls. I think you would be happy with either choice.

GolferGeek Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Late to this party. I've used all three. OW and SKLZ basically the same in my book and they are great. The Lag Shot helps with sequencing tempo too. But, you can add in plane, path, and impact. Nothing like instant feedback to see if your swing is as good as it feels.

Golf5 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have the Lag Shot 7 iron and driver. Wondering if it’s worth getting the OW too, as it seems to have a more flexible shaft and a heavier head - hence should be more effective in letting my body learn how to hold on to create more lag? Be interested to hear views of those who already own both. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfhandds Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I prefer the Orange whip. If I use the Lag shot and get to hitting the ball straight, I start hitting massive hooks with a real club. So back in the junk bag with the Lag shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
