Full Review
Amazon's own swing trainer is a weighted practice stick with a molded grip. Swinging the extra weight builds speed and loosens you up before a round, and the grip shows you where your hands belong. It does not give the tempo feedback of a flexible shaft like the Orange Whip or SKLZ Gold Flex, so think of it as a warm-up and strength tool rather than a swing fixer. It has over 800 ratings at 4.6 out of 5.

Who Is This For?
A decent warm-up stick. For tempo work, the SKLZ Gold Flex costs about the same and does more.

A decent warm-up stick. For tempo work, the SKLZ Gold Flex costs about the same and does more.

$120
A flexible shaft with a weighted orange ball on the end. It punishes a jerky transition and rewards a smooth, connected swing.
