Flexible-shaft iron swing trainer

What it helps you feel

The shaft of this trainer is soft and bends a lot more than a normal club. If you snatch the club back or rush the change of direction, the shaft whips and the head arrives late. A smooth, even tempo keeps the shaft loaded and the head comes through on time. That makes it a simple way to practise rhythm and tempo in the garden or the garage.

How to use it

Make slow practice swings first, then build up speed. Use it for swings only: the supplier does not say it is made for hitting balls, so we do not recommend it. Check that you have clear space above you and on every side before you swing.
