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.

National Golf Scramble Championship to Prevent Heart Disease

One company is working to help bring the important benefits of high speed cameras to the golfing public. Igolping is a Fremont, California-based company that recently won the award for best simulator at the Professional Golf Association Expo in Las Vegas.

The Igolping system consists of high-speed cameras that capture the golf swing in an extremely fluid and detailed fashion. A golfer then can watch their swing and analyze their improvement with unique statistical information such as ball trajectory, speed and acceleration. In addition, the Igolping system illustrates the plane of the golf swing, the angle of attack and the path of the clubface. All of this feedback is an invaluable tool to the golfer and their golf professional as they diagnose areas for improvement.

The technology behind the Igolping system is what sets it apart from the competition. A high-density radar system tracks the golf ball up to 250 yards when used outside, providing extended trajectory analysis that is essential in understanding the flight of the golf ball.

In addition to the obvious golf teaching and improvement application, the Igolping system also provides a fun and entertaining gaming platform that allows up to eight golfers to choose from over 70 courses around the world and play a virtual tournament. Golfers can set their gender, handicap and even tee location along with the time of day, weather, ground conditions and pin difficulty.
