Review Summary

The SKLZ Gold Flex is a warm-up and tempo training aid, designed to improve the swing while providing a core golf muscle workout. This tempo trainer is made of flexible fiberglass shaft and durable polyurethane head which holds up through frequent and rough use. The trainer features a grip just like golf club and has alignment guides for proper hand placement. The Gold Flex encourages a flatter, refined swing plane with increased lag in swing. It assists in eliminating some bad habits like casting and/or releasing too early, by helping put more power behind the ball. The length, flexibility and head weight improves kinetic sequencing in the swing; this not only gives more control on the swing, but also helps curb slices and hooks. This intuitive swing trainer fits easily in gold bag and is bag legal, meaning it can be carried on the course without being counted towards the 14-club limit. This Flex is available in two sizes (48" and 40"), smaller one being recommended for ladies or smaller sized individuals.
