About this item
- INCREASE SWING DISTANCE: Exaggerated flex in the shaft helps create length in your swing, helping you gain more distance for more consistent and controlled shots on the course
- ESTABLISH IDEAL SWING TEMPO: Amplified shaft flexibility promotes a slight lag at the top of your backswing, establishing the perfect swing tempo and enhancing your clubhead position and movement awareness throughout your swing
- BUILD POWER & BALANCE: Weighted ball/head at the end of the shaft encourages proper weight transfer, building balance and power through impact, helping you master the right muscle sequencing for an efficient swing
- DEVELOP CONSISTENT GRIP: The built-in grip guide helps you develop muscle memory for the correct hand placement, ensuring a proper grip and consistent performance
- INCREASE SWING SPEED & ACCURACY: At 40" in length, it's longer than a standard driver shaft, allowing you to develop greater swing speed and stay on plane for better ball-striking consistency and precision

Product Description
Product Description
The SKLZ Gold Flex Trainer is the ideal tool to perfect your swing so you can get the score you want, every time you step onto the course. Use it when or warming up before a game and get a low-impact stretch for easier mobility. With a weighted head made of durable polyurethane, and a flexible fiberglass shaft, you’ll build muscle and power with every swing. Work the fundamental core golf muscles, and tone your obliques as you gain muscle memory. Let your perfect swing become more of a habit, and less of a practice. Simply swing this training aid while learning lag and elimination of early release. Available in either 40” or 48" in length with a 2.5 lb. head, this flexible weighted trainer encourages a flatter swing plane and forces the downswing to be initiated by the lower body, helping to reduce slices. The 48” is recommended for individuals 5’6” or taller, or those who are stronger and more advanced in their golf game. The 40” length is ideal for those who are under 5’6” or who are at a beginner or intermediate level. Made of high quality, durable materials, you can feel confident that you will be able to use the SKLZ Gold Flex Golf Trainer for years to come. Investing in high quality sports equipment and training tools, means you’re investing in your athletic goals. The momentum the weighted head creates when swinging through encourages proper weight transfer and a full follow through for form, balance, and power. Keep the SKLZ Gold Flex golf swing trainer in your bag. The Gold Flex golf swing trainer is designed to improve swing tempo, strength, and flexibility. The exaggerated flex in the shaft helps lengthen your swing by keeping your hands and arms extended. This creates power to help you bomb your drive and gain more distance. The extra flex also encourages a slight lag at the top of your back swing, establishing the ideal swing tempo.

Pros:
1. Great for warming up - Instead of just doing stretching, I take this out of my bag and swing this about 20 times to warm up. It does loosen me up specially for the first hole.
2. Great for Lag Training - It naturally gives you that feel of lag, and is starting to show up in my golf swing. It is starting to be more automatic now.
3. Improved my accuracy - My grouping is much tighter now. My swing used to be very erratic, I could cast the club sometimes and really ruin my day, but this has reduced that now.
4. Gives you the feeling of what a proper swing should feel like - Once I got accostomed to the sensation of a proper swing, I am beginning to change my swing to match that. It is a work in progress as I still have a wicked slice that shows up at the worst times, but I have seen my hitting improve.
5. Great tempo trainer - That is the biggest difference with my swing now. I now know what proper tempo is supposed to be. It has improved my swing.
6. Great workout - I use this as a workout. I really try to set aside time to just just swing with this. I do feel that I am stronger and can hit the ball with less effort now.
Cons:
1. Length - This is longer than the standard clubs so give yourself some space and make sure you dont hit anyone.
Summary
It really does what it says it is supposed to do. My swing has improved in tempo, lag and power. I swing it many times a day and is a really good swing coach. I have other swing trainers but this is the one I use the most since lag and tempo are my real weakness.
*****UPDATE June 27, 2013*****
I still use the 48 inch trainer all the time to practice my drives and fairway woods. But, I needed to get a shorter one to simulate my irons and Hybrid. So I bought the 40 inch trainer as well. I tell you that this is really an excellent workout. Not only do you get to improve the tempo and lag of your swing, but you also break a sweat. I only take the 48 inch to the course because my driver is the one that scares me the most and this gives me some confidence before taking the Big Dog out of the bag. I still warm up with this before playing and while we are waiting for the slower flight ahead of us.
My slice is gone from my irons and hybrid thanks to this. My driver is another matter. I still slice about half my drives, down from when I used to slice ALL my drives. It usually happens on holes where I did not have any time to practice with this before driving. My driving distance has improved between 10 to 20 yards as well.
I have other Swing trainers but this is the only one I take with me to the golf course.
I am a 5 handicap and am writing this review from my perspective.
I have previously sampled the Orange Whip in a local golf store. The counterbalance weight at the end of the whip was an interesting feature. After playing around with it I determined it was more of a tempo device then anything else. Sure it will help you somewhat with your swing plane, all of the tempo trainers will.
I ordered the 40 inch model with a focus towards tightening up those couple of loose iron shots that occur during my rounds. By holding it out at a slight angle, I can simulate swinging with a longer club or swing it normally for iron shots.
The first thing I noticed was the quality of construction. This is a well crafted item that isn't going to just fall apart on you. The ball at the end of the trainer is big enough to not get stuck in your golf bag if you want to take it to the course with you.
Swinging this trainer is great for ingraining proper feel of tempo, swing path, and understanding where the clubhead is during the swing. It's also great for working on things like rotating your arms through impact. It's easy to take smooth swings and feel your body react to it. The weight allow for you to naturally progress with your body moving in the correct sequence on the backswing and downswing.
After working on sections of my swing, I switched to an iron and tested it out...very satisfying. Using this product daily will help you to groove a swing that is desireable, and more importantly, repeatable.
For the price of this product it can't be beat. Take it for what it's worth.
For those that have trouble trying to figure out how to use this product, it's very simple...
1. Start at your normal address position.
2. Waggle the club slightly forward using your hands, arms, and shoulders.
3. Move the club into your backswing.
4. Slight pause at the top to let the ball fully catch up to you.
5. Smoothly swing and feel your weight transfer to your front side as you complete your downswing into a full finish.
6. Rinse and repeat.
Top reviews from other countries
1) swing path, tempo, body control
2) ball contact with all my clubs
3) accuracy, direction, power
4) swing / body flexibility
And with enough practice, consistency of the above can also increase.
I've used this as golf day warm ups, practice in the evening on grass (even in the dark, make sure you're feet are aligned to a light that you can use as direction so you're swinging correctly), included in my workouts for core and shoulder flexibility.
Ive used this in the rain as well. Good grip.
It's a 5 star product in my books.
