SKLZ Shallow Shot, Golf Swing Trainer Aid to improve golf strike and control

I am a teaching professional who also occasionally struggles to shallow the club myself. I’ve only used it for one day, but I can see its value after day one. I think this will be a valuable training aid for me and my students!

Works really well….just need to implement it on the course now!

There are many aids on the market to improve one’s golf performance, indeed SKLZ produce a comprehensive selection of such tools, focusing on the various aspects of effectively hitting a golf ball. This swing connection trainer is designed specifically to improve a golfer’s swinging ability, with the aim of a more efficient and consistent connection.The product itself looks good and made of sturdy plastic. It performs a similar function to the smart ball golf aid type of products, albeit these normally hang from the neck rather than fixed to the arm as is the case for this SKLZ swing trainer. This product appears a much more tidier and compact swing trainer.The SKLZ Shallow Shot does indeed in practice instigate correct swing position and use of the correct body posture to swing rather than arms, and with use encourages maintenance of swing technique without use of the aid. A further key functional difference from similar use swing ball trainers is that this swing connection trainer has an adjustment for diameter ranging from drivers to irons. Therefore, is a versatile tool to practice a variety of shots – whilst encouraging correct posture and technique.Overall, a smartly designed, robust golf trainer aid, that is effective at improving and maintaining a consistent golf swing.

This swing training aid allows you to quickly adjust to different types of clubs and lets you really drill with a connected feel.The velcro arm attachment does seem to work best with bare skin as I struggled a bit keeping it in place when I wore long sleeves, but otherwise it's better than cheaper lanyard versions I've used.Great bit of kit and one that every golfer struggling with a disconnect issue in their swing should use.

As someone who is prone to the (more than occasional) catastrophic slice, I decided to pick this up to help stomp it out. For awareness, I'm quite new to golf.Now to be clear, this isn't going to be a miracle worker by any means. However, I can say that this definitely helped me to straighten my iron shots out after a few trips with it to the driving range.The adjustment wheel on this allows you to easily adjust between irons and putter; increasing/decreasing the circumference to better promote arm positioning/alignment as you swing through. I did find I had to tweak this a bit while fitted to find a comfortable setting for my irons.I had a couple of disappointments of this:- There is no option for driver which is the club that I think most would struggle with.- The sticker indicating the irons/putter position was poorly placed and was partially unstuck/folded in on itself out of the box. It doesn't impact performance or usability at all but it's not something I'd expect at this price point but this is perhaps just a one off.Otherwise, I think this is a great training tool and would definitely recommend it to those looking to straighten out their shots. As always, a lesson with a professional will likely be more beneficial to a beginner than a training aid but this is certainly a great product to help lock in good practices.
