Dear Ted: I am having terrific results with The Training Rods. There are so many ways to use them and they are fun for the student to use. They are a natural for alignment and focusing on a TARGET. You can use them for your turn and spine angle as well as preventing sway and getting ahead in the downswing.
My favorite way to use them is to use all four and create what I call, a BLUEPRINT of your golf swing. I make the moves as easy as 1-2-3. I set one rod on the taarget line, place the short one at ninety degrees for ball position, the place the three footer at 45 degrees to the target line. I use the fourth rod as a club that extends into my belt buckle. After a good addres to the ball, I have the student do this.
1. Make a one piece turn with the rod until the rod is parrallel to the target line. 2. Hinge your left wrist flat off the arm and pointing to the target line. 3.Swing down rotating left forearm to left to create a stright line impact position and continue rotating to a ballanced finish facing the Target.
You can use this drill for short shots or full swings with any club. It helps make the swing simple and very straight forward. Youngsters love it and catch on quick. Hiting a ball is as easy as 1-2-3. Sincerely, Roy Pace
