Summary - why base & poles swing-trainers work. --------They give helpful feedback on whether you swing too much inside or outside the target line (causing hooks, blocks, pulls and slices); the feedback comes from errant shots and of course - hitting the black or red poles. The ball position lines on the base also give feedback on where you strike or don't strike the ground (angle-of-attack); you adjust accordingly to eliminate fat or thin shots. A major benefit of this type of barrier-avoidance-practice is that you adjust your swing naturally to avoid hitting the poles without getting bogged down in technical, rhythm-destroying swing thoughts. The Slot It Golf Swing-Trainer is a newer, improved version because unlike the older, common base & red poles irons-only trainers, it is designed (base shape, lines and poles) (Patent Pending) for all clubs: Irons, Woods and the Driver. Groove a better straight-through swing-path with all clubs. ---------- Other unique design features - The Flat Spot: All great swingers swing straight down the target line 6 inches before and 6 inches after the ball - and are not hitting down too much (the angle-of-attack at impact descends slightly on irons is neutral for the driver). (Yes, in a well executed rounded swing, there is 12 inch flat, straight zone.) This is known as the Flat Spot (a 12 inch zone). Combined with a neutral grip and solid timing, a swing that has the Flat Spot will hit shots consistently straight and cleanly (all tour pro's have it). This is a well known fact, so we designed the base plate with its unique shape and lines to mirror the ideal F.S. dimensions.
