Golf Swing Training Aid: Improve Consistency & Accuracy to gain greater distance & lower your handicap

	Improve Consistency
	Improve Power through the club head
	Gain Greater Distance
	Shoot Lower Scores
	Lower Your Handicap

The Golf Performance Buddy device is a training aid for golfers that can improve the accuracy and power of your swing. The Buddy provides a unique resistance system that helps towards improving a golfer’s swing consistency by accelerating the "Neuromuscular Muscle Retention" i.e. muscle memory.

The Buddy has been designed to assist the golfer by improving their backswing, downswing follow through and allows you to feel power through the club head. It is a training tool that is simple and highly effective.

The golfer is always striving for that perfecty swing, chip or put. Most of the training aids on the market for golf are only available to be used in the gym or on the driving range. The Golf Performance Buddy can be worn on the range in practice, in the home, office or (subject to NGB rules) during play and with the comfort and familiarity of your own clubs. It’s small enough to fit into most golf bag side pockets yet costs little more than the average price of a dozen golf balls.

The Buddy suits all levels from beginners just starting out to professionals fine tuning. Can be used as part of your leading arm fitness program or to refine your technique.

Improvements can be seen with just 15 mins a session.

What Does The Golf Buddy Do?
	The Golf Buddy promotes 'width' in the backswing. Many golfers for a number of technical reasons get very 'long' and 'narrow' at the top of the swing. The result is a narrow swing arc in the downswing or club head 'throw away'. All of which causes a myriad of poor shots
	The Golf Buddy helps the golfer to put the club on the correct plane on the way down.
	The Golf Buddy promotes 'connection' through the shot
	The Golf Buddy can be used to train the synergistic golfing muscles and the opposing side of the body which will promote greater length due to the bodies ability to slow the club down more effectively
	The Golf Buddy can be used for a multitude of physical exercises, postural corrective work and as an effective 'circuit breaker'.

To use the Golf Performance Buddy just step into the leg straps with the belt buckle to the rear. Once fitted adjust any slack so the device fits comfortably. Apply the wrist strap to your Top Hand (this is the left hand for a right handed player & right hand for a left handed player) then clip the elastics clip to the D-ring on the same side as your Top Hand. For juniors or players with less arm power the centre D-ring can be used).

Action: Go through the golf swing action “Off” the ball several times to allow the neuromuscular memory to assist in retaining the action required before hitting the ball.

Sometimes training aids can be developed for one sport and then modified to meet the needs of another. This is the case with this month’s “Training Aid” – The GolfBuddy.

	Stretch out your left (front) arm in the backswing and creating the correct tension between your hips and your shoulders.
	Helps co-ordinate your arms with your body into impact.
