DO's and DON'T's
DO's
1. Set chrome head at #9
2. Pull the sliding ring beyond the triggers toward the grip end as far as it will go.
3. Grip the SwingRite firmly in both hands in a normal manner.
4. Take your regular golf stance and swing, keeping the club head 6 - 8 inches above the floor.
5. Keep clear of other people, pets, and obstacles.
6. Try to click the club at your imagined point of impact.
7. Practice slowly without strain. To obtain power and distance, rotate the head toward the lower numbers, a half turn at a time.
8. SwingRite can be used to simulate approach shots and chip shots. To simulate an approach shot : turn chrome head below #9 setting, so that approximately 1/4 inch of thread shows. With a half swing you can practice an approach shot. To simulate a chip shot: Pull sliding ring to cover the triggers, this allows ring to release easily.
DONT's
1. Never start practice with the club set in the low numbers. Start at #9 and work slowly to lower numbers.
2. Never grip club too loosely or try to over swing. Hold the club firmly and swing easily.
3. Don't swing in the direction of people, pets, or other obstacles.
4. Don't ground the club - Never hit the club head on the floor of ground.
5. When practicing approach shots or chip shots with club head at lower than #9 setting - Don't use full powered swing - Practice with a 1/2 swing.
6. The numbers on Swing Rite do not correspond to the numbers on a regular set of clubs. They designate the tension on the inner mechanism. Setting 9 (nine) is the easiest and setting 1 (one) is the hardest.
NOTE: The SwingRite is designed to help you find your groove. The goal is not to see how low a number you can make it click. Once you find your comfort level, you should practice at that setting. Some people find that #9 is good for them, while others find #5 to be comfortable. Everyone is different. You should not be swinging uncontrollably; a nice, even swing will do the job. Remember to always start at #9 and work your way down gradually. Never start off with the SwingRite set to a low number, this will only lead to injuries and an unnatural swing. |
