GEM Swing Trainer 4

Summer time is here! Well, it was until today when I looked out the window and it’s chucking it down but, hey-ho, drier days will come and, when they do, off to the golf range! Only to realise when you get there that you can’t play for toffee as you’re slicing like it’s going out of fashion and constantly releasing too early…

So, how to get round this little problem? The GEM Swing Trainer has been designed with the solution to these problems in mind. It’s not going to suit those of you who have worked out your timing on your swings, it’s definitely more for those that need to work on creating consistency in their swing. It achieves this by encouraging your natural, physical flow to a certain path which will then be retained by muscle memory, thus increasing your consistency when you switch to actually hitting balls. It’s not going to improve every aspect of your game obviously, but it will help if you’re having trouble squaring up with the impact.

It’s quite simple to use and attach to your club. There is a ring that attaches to the grip using screws to tighten it. You then have 3 different sized rods you can screw in to this ring which add differing weights. The longer rod is the heavier (no surprises there!) and more suitable for those starting out on their golfing journey while the mid-size and shortest rod slide up the scale of experience with the shortest rod also having the advantage of allowing you to strike the ball. This is a safety thing by the way, striking a ball with the weight added on is not a good idea and GEM repeat this multiple times. I was quite happy not to ‘press the red button’ and find out why! With this training aid being made out of solid metal, I didn’t feel the need to question it…RRP £120
