Love this it work great makes aware of my swing speed

It is the best training aid that I have come accross to show you when to release the club at the correct point in the down swing. It helps tremendously with increasing your tempo and club head speed.

Swinging this is very eye opening. My technique is getting better.

Good training aid to improve your swing and rythem

I’ve never been a fan of swing training tools, many are very gimmicky but the Swing Caddy is worth every cent. It really helps you feel the moment of release at the bottom of the swing plane. I’m a senior golfer and have lost a lot of swing speed and distance but I think this tool has helped me. Be patient with the Swing Caddy. You’ll probably have to set it at a pretty low swing speed setting to get it to “click” at release. With a little practice you’ll build up to a decent swing speed. It probably took me two or three weeks to build up to the “driver” setting so give it some time. You’ll find YouTube videos that recommend the Swing Caddy and provide good guidance in the use of it. It’s a little expensive but I think it provides the golfer with excellent feedback and is a good value.

I received the product a few days a ago and began to use it periodically for 10 15 minutes at a time. It works as advertised but I'm having an unexpected problem... blisters. The device is on the weighty side and it has a rubber grip. When you swing it, it exerts centrifugal force, far more that any golf club, which it's designed to do so the magnets can click. But, I find myself getting blisters on both hands, even with golf gloves. I believe it's the rubber grip, which is unlike any golf club grip. I'm going to continue to use it, but I'll try to make adjustments to reduce the problem. I'll know more in a couple of weeks whether I'm going to continue to use it of set it aside.

Ball flight is just a byproduct of a power swing. If you can get it to click at the bottom you’ve returned the club face square to the target & have your wrist & hips turned correctly to get the ball into the air. You have to make a complete rotation; so there’s a click at the top when it’s time to stop moving your arms. The “swing” is the same for every club but the force you need to generate to get the ball in the air is greater. More force is created by a faster swing. The faster the swing the less room for error & the more likely you are to top it; hit it fat; or wiff. This has a dial. Hold the weighted end & turn the shaft to change from a wedge to a driver. Age 60 now, I remember starting to play at age 4. I’d play a few years; stop for a decade & play again. This time I started over after 5 yrs due to injury. I know what to do (maintain the plane/arc (see Medicus) & power thru the finish while making your feet, knees, wrists & hands release at the same point. This tool stops you from thinking “left arm straight; knees bent” & jibber-jabber BTW “keep your head down” - only applies until you hear the click. You must move your head up toward the target or you can’t finish the swing properly. When you finally do put a ball in front of you, look at it (dugh) but mentally feel the click you developed in practice. A club pro told me the best way to teach a beginning adult is to leave the ball out of the equation for at least the 1st 30 days so they don’t develop the habit of thinking about the ball & all the little movements- “left arm straight, head down” all at the same time. His wife had never played & didn’t want to. But when he was ready to retire it was learn to play or end up spending less & less time together. In a couple months (when she got over being intimidated by someone who hit a really long ball) she was breaking 100; in 2 yrs, breaking 90. For me, at 60 after a 5 yr hiatus, I used this & Medicus (I left a review there if you really want to know why) for 8-12 weeks as I kept considering getting out of my Covid home-office and going to the range so I could play w/family on June 13th at Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach. I didn’t make it to the range & hit just a few b/c we were late to the tee. The 1st tee shot of the day was straight down the middle; 210 yds right to the landing area setting up a 2nd shot; which I topped & went chunk, chunk, chunk down the fairway. I only counted the good shots & there were at least 2 solid ones every hole & a couple pars. At the end of four days, I was keeping a real score- and didn’t break 100. But, I stayed mostly in the fairway; didn’t slice at all & wiffed just a couple times.

This training aid is by far the best I have ever used. The instant feedback is crucial to developing the proper swing feels.
