The Swing Coach is easy to use. It looks like a golf club and you swing it like one, which propels a real golf ball attached to the special cradle in the clubhead. Swing Coach will teach you to make the right swing at any speed, from pitch shots to drives, all using the same training club. The secret to Swing Coach is its patented cradle technology. It uses simple motion physics to create actual ball flight and direction to show what is right or wrong with every swing.
Developed under the guidance and collaboration from some of the world’s top golf coaches (led by Dean Reinmuth, who has worked with numerous Tour players including Phil Mickelson and is both a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and Golf Digest Top 50 teacher), Swing Coach promotes making a smooth, accelerating swing by removing the urge to “hit” the ball.
“The Swing Coach Club is aimed at teaching two things: a square club face and smooth acceleration. It does both very effectively,” writes Matt Saternus, Director of Instruction at PluggedInGolf.com. “I can see this living in your bag and being the first thing you use during a practice session to ingrain the feel of being smooth.”
Swing Coach is supported by a web site and full platform of instructional videos by Reinmuth, as well as simple explanations for analyzing ball flights and their meaning. Just 15 to 30 minutes of practice with Swing Coach is all that’s necessary to see real improvement and to develop the muscle memory necessary to make solid swings over and over again. It works for new and developing golfers as well as better players.
And if your game starts to slip, Swing Coach is in your bag to get you back on track in just a few minutes. No need to wait for an appointment with a teaching pro. All you need is Swing Coach and your eyes and you’ll immediately see what you’re doing wrong.
