The Kallassy Swing Trainer - Fix Your Golf Slice

When this training aid first came out I kind of chuckled. They said it would instantly fix your golf slice! I had my preconceived opinion about it before I saw it in the flesh. The infomercial seemed a bit cheesy to me, but you' ve got to give these aids a fair shake.

As always, I had to locate one first, since this was one I didn't have in my "golf garage". A little driving around, and I found one in a local golf store. They all know me there, so I was able to use it, then hit some balls into the net for "instant feedback."

When I first started swinging it, it was awkward to say the least! I felt kind of goofy trying to get it right. Thank god I was in the back of the store where nobody could see me. After 6 or so swings, it started to feel more comfortable (but not natural).

After making about a dozen training swings, I grabbed my 7 iron and started to hit some balls into the net. First off, I had just gotten done doing a movement where my hands were apart (not like your golf swing), then coming together in the downswing.

It was a hard transition from swinging the trainer to hitting balls. Now that may be just me, and not anyone else, but the movement between the two are quite different. One that I felt was not quite effective in achieving the goal of a better swing (for me).

I like training aids that are very close to your actual golf swing, and with the movement being hands apart, then together, it just didn't feel right. If you're a BIG slicer, this may be a training aid to give a try. It may very well get you feeling of coming from the inside on the downswing.

I'm going to give this one a C+ grade in thinking it might be better for a "real slicer" of the golf ball.
