CARLSBAD, Calif. -- SKLZ, the industry leader in sports skill development products and equipment, today announced that over 40 Tour players practice regularly with SKLZ training aids.
Of the 45 Tour players who use SKLZ products, 39 play on the PGA Tour and have earned a combined total of just over $16 million in tournament winnings in 2010. The players use a variety of SKLZ training aids including the Gyro Swing, Power Sleeve, Practice Pod, Putt Pocket, Putting Gate, Perfect Plane, Refiner Putter and Smash Bag.
"We're happy to see so many PGA Professionals who realize the benefits of using training aids," said Greg Shoman, vice president of marketing, SKLZ. "And according to the money earning statistics listed on PGATour.com, this practice is paying off. Our comprehensive set of training tools is easy to use and allows golfers of every level to feel the benefits immediately."
SKLZ products are designed to fit into four training categories: Accuracy, Distance, Putting and Practice, allowing players to focus on the specific areas of their game that need work. Tour players use a variety of SKLZ training aids, but the one that gets the most rave reviews is the Gyro Swing.
According to Golf Hall of Fame member, Vijay Singh, "The Gyro Swing is awesome." PGA Professional, Lucas Glover uses the Gyro Swing regularly to keep his swing plane and release in top form. When asked what he thought, Lucas said, "The Gyro Swing helps promote the basic fundamentals that everyone needs for their golf swing."
The Gyro Swing has a 20,000 RPM gyroscope in its clubhead that uses the principle of conservation of angular momentum to create a distinct and forceful pathway for the club. It literally fights against off-plane swings to put your hands and clubhead exactly where they're supposed to be, back and through. It's the only product that lets golfers feel what it's like to have a technically correct swing.
With the Gyro Swing powered by six AAA batteries, the gyroscope rotates at very high RPMs to keep the swing on plane with a perfect clubface orientation to the plane. This, coupled with the fact that it encourages proper weight shift for an ideally timed release, means the clubface is squared at impact, which yields long, straight shots with the "effortless power" sought by golfers.
