The LeaderBoard Golf Trainer We just wanted to share with you some information on what is arguably the hottest training product to hit the PGA Tour in many years - the LeaderBoard Golf Trainer. The LeaderBoard was invented by Vern McMillan, a strength and fitness coach to many leading players on the PGA Tour. In fact, the LeaderBoard is now one of the PGA Tour's most widely used physical training devices. It is used by a host of Tour players including Robert Allenby, Stuart Appleby, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, KJ Choi, Rod Pampling, Stephen Ames, Zach Johnson, Bob Estes, Steve Allan, Paul Gow, Michael Campbell, Mike Weir, Stewart Cink, Brad Faxon, Aaron Baddeley, Heath Slocum, John Senden, Jesper Parnevik, and Brett Quigley. How does the LeaderBoard work? In short, the LeaderBoard works the core muscle groups that power the golf swing. The LeaderBoard uses an innovative resistance design to develop both muscles and movements specific to the golf swing. In addition to developing the optimum muscle function and motor skills, the LeaderBoard is also incredibly effective in immediately identifying swing deficiencies in posture, balance, timing and power by physically cueing the player that something is not right and retraining the muscles and movements for more effectiveness. What do the Tour players say about the LeaderBoard? Some of their comments include: Adam Scott - 2007 Shell Houston Open Champion: "I use the LeaderBoard not only to train my body to move with maximum power but also to technically reinforce the proper timing of my swing. The training I do on the LeaderBoard is paying huge dividends in my performance." Geoff Ogilvy - 2006 U.S. Open and World Match Play Champion: "The LeaderBoard has been a part of my tournament preparation for the past two years. It is the most versatile training device I have ever used, and proved invaluable in the lead up to my victory in the U.S. Open. The exercises train those golf specific muscles to 'fire' at the right times, resulting in greater accuracy and longer hitting. I love it." Stuart Appleby - 2006 Mercedes and Shell Houston Open Champion: "I am not only a faithful user of the LeaderBoard, I am an owner of the business as well and I would not jeopardize my reputation on a product that does not deliver results - so many of the guys use the product on Tour now that in 2007, it will probably be bigger news if a player does not train with the Leaderboard." Where can I buy the LeaderBoard? You can buy the LeaderBoard online at Leaderboard Golf Trainer. Check it out the LeaderBoard now - it will do wonders for your game.

8 Board Golf Swing Trainer

8 Board Golf Swing Trainer - $ 119.95  Includes Instructional DVD In a sport where the swing is everything, there is little room for error or improper form and the 8board® is the lion in the swing kingdom. As the pros themselves have told us, the 8board teaches proper stance, proper rotation, and proper balance in relation to the complete swing: backswing to follow-through. Your stroke can become smoother as the 8board trains you to use your entire body properly to complete the swing. Not only does the device give you the feeling of being grounded, but it incites muscle memory and protects the back and trunk from the strain of improper rotation when pivoting. When you are grounded or rooted for the swing and you are coiling properly from your center, you lessen the chances of enervating your own power. With practice, this type of calculated movement becomes automatic and perfunctory to your swing, guaranteeing precision at each attempt. With the 8board program an athlete can train their entire body to move symmetrically with pristine balance. This way, the club is not a separate fixture to your swing, but acts instead as an appendage that moves in a natural order when your center (hips and trunk) are generating power at their best. You can take strokes off your game with such symmetry in movement as it translates into your swing. Now and forever, the 8 way is the only way to play. "The 8Board is the only training device that can teach you how to properly use your hips and legs in five minutes. It really works!" John Mason Director of Instruction, J.C. Golf School at Encinitas Ranch, Encinitas, CA Named: 2002 "Player of the Year" (Southern California PGA, San Diego Chapter Included with every 8 Board: * Instructional DVD * Carrying Case * 30 Day Money Back Guarantee * Lifetime Guarantee 8 Board Golf Swing Trainer

Power Release

Power Release - $ 69.95

Power Release - $ 69.95 The Ultimate Tempo Trainer - An early release or casting is caused by an improper change of direction at the top of the back swing. This key move is where the upper body, hands and arms are still moving back in the back swing as the lower body starts the down swing transition. This is where the club head starts to lag. As the club head lags down to the release point the forearms rotate and the club head is released into impact. This is where club head speed is generated. The Power Release™ is specifically designed to groove the proper change of direction and the correct release. In just just a few swings the Power Release™ will eliminate casting and the early release increasing club head lag and speed. Tour players know that having the correct tempo produces more consistent shots than any one specific technical change. They also know the first thing a golfer loses in his or her swing is correct tempo. Incorrect tempo leads to many swing faults. The Power Release is specifically designed to cure this problem. For the first time, you will discover what effortless power is all about. Benefits: *Eliminates the over-the-top move, casting and early release. *Unique in its patented design by providing proper weighted feel, directed to the hands, creating maximum club head lag. *Ingrain your selected tempo for a powerful release in just a few swings. *A golf swing packed with maximum power providing distance and accuracy.  An Instructional Video is included with the Power Release

Power Swing Fan

PowerSwing Fan - $ 49.95  Without question, the PowerSwing™ Fan is one of the easiest and most effective products for increasing distance and control available on the market today. Simply pick it up and swing it 20-25 times a day, and you'll be on your way to better technique, longer drives & lower scores. New Feature The red fin decal provides the player with a quick & easy reference while swinging. Right-handed players will apply the decal on the side of the fin NOT facing the target. Set up so the fin with the decal is square to the target. You shouldn't be able to see much of the decal, just the edge of the fin. Backswing With a proper backswing, the player will take the PowerSwing™ Fan back smoothly, keeping the arms extended until the shaft angle reaches about 45 degrees. The air resistance from the fins will discourage the player from picking the club up too quickly. At the top of the swing the player should strive to keep their left arm extended, with the right arm bent no more than 90 degrees. Watch letting your elbow "fly" at the top of the backswing. Tip: Imagine you are a waiter holding a tray at the top of your backswing. Downswing Again, the natural air resistance from the fins will encourage the player to follow the path of least resistance & start the downswing correctly. The right elbow and hands will drop as if they had the air let out of them, keeping the hands cocked in a powerful pre-impact lag position. At impact, the hands should be pressed ahead slightly and the red THROUGH decal should start to become visible. Release & Finish Immediately following impact, the PowerSwing™ Fan should rotate counter-clockwise so the blue THROUGH decal is visible. This will put you in an extended `shake hands' position. Properly extending your arms is critical to optimize distance, control, weight transfer and accuracy or your shot. Finish the swing in a relaxed manner, allowing the arms to fold the hands over the left shoulder. The weight should be about 90 percent on the left foot, with the right foot coming off the ground onto the toe. "Within 2-3 weeks you should be able to feel more control of the club, hitting longer & straighter shots. You won't be disappointed; I guarantee it! Good golfing." Dr. Gary Wiren PGA Master Professional PowerSwing Fan - $ 49.95

Impact Bag

Impact Bag - $ 39.95   Every player attempts to get the club on line & square at impact. A breakdown of the left wrist and collapse of the leading arm at that moment are two of the most common problems faced by players of all skill levels. Impact Bag is one of the most popular training aids of all time for the following reason - there is only one moment of truth in the golf swing - Impact! This device teaches the correct position and feel for that moment. Unlike hitting a car tire or other hard object the Impact Bag is safe and has been designed specifically for golfers. Developing a strong left side while turning into the ball will help eliminate many of the inconsistencies brought on by left wrist collapse & will help bring you into a solid, assertive impact. Impact Bag - $ 39.95

The Inside Approach

Inside Approach - $ 39.95 Reduced Price!  The Inside Approach was developed to give golfers a clear visual understanding of where the club needs to be swung as it approaches the most critical point of the swing... the impact zone. To hit solid, accurate shots, the clubface must be square or squaring at impact and the club must be approaching the ball from an "inside" path. The Inside Approach’s unparalleled design gives golfers immediate feedback (both positive and negative) on whether they have accomplished this task. The path in which the club is swung directly influences one’s ability to square the clubface and thus be consistent. If the club is swung down too steep or from out-to-in, it makes it very difficult for your hands and arms to square the clubface - the result of which is usually an open clubface at impact causing the SLICE (85% of all golfers do this). If you happen to square the clubface when swinging from out-to-in, you may hit a "pull." (Often, you may find that you pull your short irons and slice you longer irons, and especially your driver). When the club is swung down on the correct path, it promotes the proper sequence of movements necessary for your arms and hands to naturally square the clubface. Some golfers have a tendency to hit pushes and hooks. These ball flights are also a result of poor path, however, the path now is being swung too far from the inside or underneath the correct swing plane. The Inside Approach is universally designed to correct both of these undesirable swing paths by giving you safe and instant feedback on whether you have swung the club on the correct path. If your swing path is correct you will miss the cushion; if it is incorrect your club may hit the cushion. The cushion, if hit, is designed to safely break away thus not hurting you or your club(s). This immediate feedback (positive and/or negative) is by far, the most effective method of training a new motor skill. The Inside Approach comes with a handy carry bag and an instructional video featuring Jim Sowerwine and Jack Nicklaus. “All the average golfer really has to do to hit the ball solid is to be able to swing underneath the cushion and hit the ball from the inside," Nicklaus said. "The Inside Approach forces you to swing properly. If a beginning golfer could learn to swing without hitting the cushion, they would be miles ahead of the game. It's simple, it's easy to use and it's going to help golfers of all levels,” Jack Nicklaus GUARANTEE: The Inside Approach comes with a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are not hitting the ball straighter and longer and with more confidence, simply return it for a complete refund of the purchase price.
