Over time, he began to realize how difficult this aspect of the game was to teach. The majority of his students couldn’t quite get the correct feeling. So he tested a lot of training aids to create a “tour pro motion.” The result is the best-selling, Orange Whip swing trainer. What is the Orange Whip swing trainer? The Orange Whip is longer than a standard driver. This forces you to exaggerate the sequence of the golf swing and can lead to a faster change in your golf swing. The Lag Shot is standard length and can be used without perfect timing. The Orange Whip aid makes it easy to practice this move as the club is counterweighted. Take the club away like you would on your normal swing and really try to exaggerate the ‘L’ shape with your arms and the club. As you make your downswing, unhinge and release through impact to create power. Then on your follow-through you will hinge again into an ‘L’ shape. Mishits or a wobbly front-end indicate that you need to change your swing to have better harmonization between your arms, upper body, and lower body. Premium Quality/Warranty Yes, the Lag Shot counts as a club in your bag. Under rule 4 in the USGA Rules of Golf, a club is defined as an implement designed to be used for striking the ball.

The Lag Shot has both a 7 iron and a driver head. These are clubs that require slightly different swings to be successful, so being able to train both with the same premise is a huge advantage to the system. If you wish to get the best transfer to your driver swing and are 5″10′ or taller go for the standard model (slightly longer than a standard driver). For men and women under 5’9″ you may wish to opt for the mid-size option (1.5′ shorter than a men’s standard driver).

Orange Whip Trainer has an orange, yeah what else did you expect, rubber ball on the clubhead side of the training aid and a counterbalanced weight at the grip end of the club.

But if you’re a slicer (I’m not, my miss is a hook), then getting your wrist into a better position at the top of your swing and of course at impact will probably be your priorities. Although with that being said, no part of the golf swing works in isolation, and the whole thing is a chain reaction so really, you want to get your wrists doing the right thing at all points. Orange Whip Trainer was designed to coordinate your golf swing, improving the swing plane and maintaining stability throughout the swing sequence. Which Size Orange Whip is best?

Given that the Lag Shot is designed as a tool used to hit the golf ball, it is considered a club in your bag regardless of whether you intend to use it on the course or not. There are a load of these around. The O.G. is the Orange Whip, which is basically a weighted orange ball on the end of a flexible shaft.

It weighs in at 1.75 pounds and is slightly heavier than an average iron. The shaft is 47 inches long to produce the flexibility required and exaggerate the club’s movement during the swing sequence. Kind of. I’ve owned a set of SuperSpeed since early 2020, and when I worked through the program during the pandemic (there wasn’t much else to do) I saw some solid improvement to my distance and speed. They worked well then, and they’re still going to work well today when combined with SuperSpeed’s training program.

Yes, the Orange Peel Balance trainer is an awesome upgrade to the swing trainer. It has a concave surface so your stance will adjust to the center and balance your course.

No, the Lag Shot is different than the Orange Whip. While they are designed with the same goal in mind, you are able to hit balls with the Lag Shot. If you have a swing path going left and you work on closing the clubface, you’re going to end up hitting pull hooks. And trust me, they’re not fun. Once you have become acquainted with the feeling of swinging the club with both arms individually, it is time to put it all together in a full swing using both arms and hands.
