What the Deuce on the SKLZ Gyro Swing:
SKLZ golf has taken golf training into the 21st century. The Gyro swing is without a doubt the most technologically advanced swing trainer ever created. While we’ve all see training aids like the Momentus and Medicus, that are designed to help you keep the golf club on plane, the Gyro swing is the first club that actually forces you to keep the club on plane.
The secret (ok, it’s not really a secret) to the Gyro swing, is its built-in, battery powered gyroscope that spins at 20,000 RPM. The high spin rate prevents casting, and encourages a proper release. As the club head descends, the gyroscopic action keeps the club on plane, and helps maintain a smooth tempo throughout the swing.
The Gyro swing also features a dual-color shaft which further reinforces proper club rotation.
Currently the Gyro Swing is available in right-handed models only. Rechargeable batteries, and a charger are all included in the $219 package.
No, you cannot hit balls with it.
