Over the years this great product has gone by several names. Originally produced as the SwingRite in the 60′s, patented as the Snapper in the early 80′s, and independently produced as the Impact Builder, the design and function of the SwingRite are tried and true.
One of the hardest things for a teaching pro is getting their students to understand the sequencing involved to produce maximum speed and power at impact. The SwingRite teaches players this automatically with a ring that snaps when a certain speed is attained.
The speed at the SwingRite’s easiest setting of “9″ roughly correlates to a 60 mph speed with a 45″, and the highest setting of “1″ is the equivalent of swinging 110 mph with a 45″ driver. The key to more speed is getting the SwingRite to snap at impact using the lowest number possible. Ideally, you should get a baseline on your swing speed using a radar device like the SwingSpeed RADAR, so you have something to check your progress against.
It is not surprising to see speed gains of 5-10 mph within 5 minutes of use. Another, simpler way to gauge your progress is to take a few swings when you first get your SwingRite at setting of 2 or 3. If you don’t get it to snap right away, back it down to a 4 or 5. If you’re like most players, you’ll find you probably have to start at around 7 to get the feel of when to release the club.
After a swing or two at 7, turn the dial to 6 and swing again. You’ll probably be able to get back to 4 or 5 in the first few minutes you use the SwingRite, therefore indicating your swing speed is now faster. Most interestingly, players learn that with less effort, but better swing mechanics they can snap a 5 with less effort than it took to snap a 7 when they first started.
The SwingRite may be used right or left-handed an is an ideal swing trainer for warm-up or to keep your swing tuned year-round. Quote: “In my opinion, every golf teaching professional should be utilizing the SwingRite training aid. Not only does it help students to understand the proper release in the golf swing but it’s also fun to use.” Geoff Bryant, President – United States Golf Teachers Federation
