Hi All,
As I noted over in Practice Before Lessons, Or Wait?, I'm a new golfer that will begin taking lessons in early July. Two or three respondents suggested that, when lessons do start, also make sure I'm warmed-up before each lesson.
Thinking about warming up, and the stiffness I feel though my upper body and shoulders when I swing, got me to thinking again about the training aid I'd seen at a local golf store. I think I have an analytical grasp of how the golf swing works. Well, is supposed to work The problem there being translating the understanding to execution. When somebody at the store showed me an Orange Whip, the product and the principles behind it called to me. It seemed right.
But $110, I constantly fight with my weakness for gadgets, and gimmicks abound in all fields of endeavor. So, much to my wife's surprise, I gave it a pass on both that and a subsequent visit to the store.
Still it calls to me. So this morning I read the THP review of it and the Orange Peel. I've read the couple threads where members here have used them. But most of y'all are experienced golfers. I'm a beginner. Thus my question:
Beginning golfer: Orange Whip, yea or nay?
