SwingTIP - Your Mobile Swing Analyzer

Although frustrating, I do find forced into an off-season due to weather during the winter months incredibly beneficial. It allows me, without excuse, the time and focus to return back to basics, and tweak my swing without the pressure of working on it between rounds in the summer months. However, just hitting endless balls week after week at the range, without any real measure to show if the effort is having a positive effect, can be meaningless. But I have found that the SwingTIP device by Mobiplex has proven to be a great solution to help bring objective and focus to range time. This is because SwingTIP provides real time analysis of every swing, allowing you to quickly identify faults and provide feedback if your self-prescribed (But it is highly recommended they should be from an instructor) fixes are working.

SwingTIP is a lightweight Bluetooth device that attaches to any golf club. Pair up the device to the free download application on your Smartphone and within seconds of taking a swing, you are presented with a digital reproduction of your swing that can be viewed at 3 different angles. The application also captures valuable information such as clubhead speed, swing path, club face angle, impact zone and tempo. One can then use this data in real time to begin identifying faults or improvement opportunities that  you can then begin to work on. This really makes your time at the range as effective as possible as you focus on adjusting, correcting and learning how to repeat what it feels like to make that great swing over and over. Once your session has completed, you can then sync the data to your personal account at Myswingtip.com and admire your improved stats and how you have begun to develop some consistency in your swing.



One of the features I really enjoy about this product is the ability to compare your swing with a PGA Pro, and by a single click how you are directed to instruction tips specific to your swing to help modify your technique.


From a personal perspective, I have really enjoyed using SwingTIP. My main focus for this off season is to develop a repeatable tempo, and generate some additional clubhead speed for those extra valuable yards for the new season. Already after only a few sessions with this device at the range, I have been able to recognize that I am in fact ‘toeing’ my drives with an outside-to-in downswing. With a few minor adjustments to my set-up, a slightly looser grip, and slowing down my backswing fractionally, I have been able to increase clubhead speed and find that sweetspot on my driver more often than not.

To summarize then, I highly recommend this product. It’s great value for money and the analysis and feedback you receive really allows you to hone in on your technique at the range. The device is quick and easy to clip onto any of your clubs, and it is incredibly lightweight so you do not feel it on your club as you swing. I do also recommend purchasing a couple of additional brackets that are on offer to help you move from one club to another quickly. I am also impressed with the upload time of the data after you swing, which really is a matter of seconds.

Finally, I would also like to say that the customer support is second to none. I had to contact them on numerous occasions due to delivery issues at my apartment building, etc. The response and their service really was outstanding, which backs up the superior quality of this product and the company that developed it.

Swing Trust Oil: The Sweet Smell of Success?

As golfers, we are fully aware that this beautiful game involves many aspects, and none is as important as what is actually going on between our ears while we play! Research has shown a definite connection between one’s mind and performance, and this mind-body connection is ever becoming the focus of many top-golfers. We all know that much of Tiger Wood’s earlier success is credited to his mental game, as well as his physical talents and skills, with Greg Norman being quoted that this was his crucial “15^th Club”. But for us amateur golfers what is our solution, if we are not ready or have time to immerse ourselves into numerous Self-Development books, Sport Psychologist sessions, NLP, hypnosis, and/or even a new religion to help calm our first-tee jitters and stay in the moment for those pressure 3-foot putts? Well Swing Trust may just be the answer for us mere mortals to give us that competitive edge through natural focus and confidence.

 

Now before I continue, I would like the audience, especially our male readers, to keep an open mind, and yes, the pun was definitely intended. For Swing Trust is an aromatherapy solution that claims with its proprietary blend of essential oils will produce confidence, tranquility and focus…But before I lose you, I want to admit that I was as dubious as the next person, that such a claim could be plausible wafting some smelly concoction under my nose. But through personal experience that I will explain shortly, I was positively and shockingly surprised that it actually did work, and although I haven’t been able to use it on the course as yet due to the wintry New York climate, I can’t wait to try it out under tournament conditions.

 

The Swing Trust Oil comes in a neat little package, which reminds me of a tiny hip flask, that can be attached to a key ring or anything else to keep it conveniently located. By simply unscrewing the lid, you waft the contents under your nose for a few seconds taking in a pleasant smell that hits the back of your nose nicely, and it seems to kick in immediately.

 

To test the product to its fullest, I decided to evaluate the claims, just before I had to perform a presentation in front of an uncomfortable amount of people for my day job. No matter how much I rehearse my presentations and absorb the content, I always find myself just before the sessions with a stomach containing one butterfly too many, sweaty palms, and a mind that fills with fears that always hinders my delivery and my performance to give my best presentation I can. In effect, the same feeling as I get when just about to tee off for a golf tournament. Now, whether it’s a Placebo effect or just purely by the slow breathing as I inhaled the contents of Swing Trust Oil, I did sense immediately a level of calmness and clarity. In fact, the first time I inhaled, I laughed in disbelief that a relaxing feeling was coming over me…All I can say is that I delivered my best presentation thus far, feeling completely in the moment and focused throughout the speech, as the empowering fusion of essential oils gave me some unfounded confidence.

 

I have told my friends and colleagues about the Swing Trust product, and my experience with it, and of course, I have enjoyed the banter and judgment that has come of it, but it has been a great conversation starter. Einstein said “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”, so if you are looking to improve your mental game, then I would recommend getting rid of some of that stinky thinking by giving the Swing Trust Oil a chance, and start enjoying the sweet smell of success!
