SKLZ Gold Flex 40" Golf Swing Trainer for Strength and Tempo Training

The Gold Flex is an intuitive swing trainer that can automatically improve your flexibility (shoulder turn), balance, timing and swing speed. Though I am over 65, I have gained 10 yards on my driver immediately and look for much more in the coming weeks. It also has improved my ball striking on my irons. Just use it daily in the back yard for ten minutes and you will see the difference. Bought one for my son-in-law and he loves it too. Best product for the money.

This product is a great device. It is exactly like the $109 version at local golf stores. Works well for pre-stretching, and as an aid to increase swing speed. Well worth the price.

Your going to want to buy this over the O whip! The other product is not $50 dollars better than SKLZ Gold flex. Swing it 20 times rest a few minutes to regain the feel of your clubs and go out to play better. Adds length feel and control. Better tempo better swing path better golf. Great tool for any golfer. If your new it makes you find a better swing. If your older it will give you more core streghth and flexibility. You just can't go wrong and Walmart offers a great price and easy pick up in store.

I ordered the SKLZ Gold Flex and received it within a few days. I've since used it a couple of times at the practice range, and have noticed that after 5 - 10 practice swings, it helps me with my tempo and, therefore, my weight transfer. It's also much heavier than a regular driver, so when you pick up your driver it feels like a feather. I'm usually not a fan of golf 'gizmos', but I'm very glad I bought this training device.

I took some lessons from a PGA professional and he recommended this. Wow, was he right! 1. The "tempo" part trains you to put lag in your swing at the top of the backswing. If you transition too fast from backward to forward, you don't have time for your legs and hips to move before the club hits the ball. 2. The strength part is obvious, although you can get stronger for cheaper just by swinging two clubs or something heavier. 3. It stretches the muscles at the top to lengthen your backswing. Again, two clubs or something heavier would do this as well. If you don't have the problem of a poor transition at the top of your backswing, this accessory won't work miracles. But if you rush your downswing, and lots of us hackers do, it will really help your game.

Bought this golf trainer on the advice of a couple of friends who both use this trainer. I've not been disappointed. I use it daily for 5-10 minutes on the days I don't go to the course and I'll swing it before a round just to get the “rust” loose. Friends who have tried it have ordered their own so I take that as confirmation that this is a special trainer.

Great for loosening up. Extreme shaft flexibility helps control backstroke speed and helps to remind you to "whip" your wrists at the bottom of your forward swing. But most of all best for warm up without putting a swing weight on your driver. If you are 5'10" or taller, make sure to order the 48".

This works wonders for warming up before a round. Does help with showing how your swing should be. I feel this helped shave 5 strokes off my score since i started using it.

I wanted this trainer to help me build better lag with my golf swing. While I have no experience with the Orange Whip, i can't imagine that I have given up anything with this trainer. It really does force me to pull the club and cuts down on my right hand casting. It is quite long, much longer than my driver, which at first is disconcerting. But that is intentional for it to do it's job. The length forces me to change my motion a bit compared to a golf club but that is OK. if i ever feel like it is too long, then i can always choke up on the grip a bit. my only complaint is that sometimes feels like a bit of a cheat. it is so easy to create lag with this trainer that I'm not sure if I'm building the right muscle movements to get lag naturally. my advice is to use it occasionally to confirm the right feeling and then immediately try to recreate with a regular club.

Excellent warm up tool to stretch out. I would give it a 5 for that but as a training aid it is and somewhat helpful with tempo. For the price paid it is a very good purchase.
