Backed by a 100% money-back guarantee, the Golf Robot from Tourbound Golf Academy is a remarkable system that helps the golfer learn the golf swing by feel. Golf instruction guru Hank Haney believes the TourBound Golf Robot Swing Trainer will revolutionize how golf is learned.

I recently had the privilege to experience a lesson utilizing this remarkable swing training technology with PGA Professional and Golf Robot owner Scot W.R. Nei at Play18 Chicago.

Utilizing a rotating mix of swings using the TourBound Golf Robot Swing Trainer and Play18′s swing-analysis driving bays, Scot was able to quickly diagnose my most significant swing flaws. He then calibrated the Golf Robot to actually allow me to experience what my corrected swing should feel like. Just grab the club on the Golf Robot and literally feel the correction being made – it’s that simple.

Scot’s program included roughly ten swings on the Golf Robot and then ten swings in the driving bays where we would track my ball trajectory and distance. As I learned the correct feel during the guided Golf Robot swings, it was then second nature to translate that swing in the driving bay without aid from the swing trainer. It’s muscle memory at its finest and is a remarkably stress-free way to learn the golf swing.

Using this approach Scot has helped people from all walks of life who’ve never swung a golf club enjoy the game of golf with a single lesson. In addition to golf beginners, Scot uses the TourBound Golf Robot Swing Trainer with Tour players to help them optimize and recalibrate the “feel” of their golf swing, maximizing their learning and practice time.

The TourBound Golf Robot Swing Trainer is definitely the most advanced and most effective golf improvement device I’ve ever experienced. It literally gives your brain a road map of your perfect swing on the same path, building new muscle memory with every swing on the device. You can expect to hear a lot more in the coming months from the TourBound Golf Robot Swing Trainer as the news of its ground-breaking technology and results continues to build.
