Nothing else to do, this AM, so I'm watching TGC infomercials. I've seen the ad for this thing, before, and it seems a bit intriguing. Aside from the comment about using it on the course and nobody noticing (that you're cheating if you use it in serious golf), it might help some in grooving the proper wrist movements, in practice.
Has anyone used the Swing Glove? Does it do anything other than dig into your wrist? I have a strong grip, and my wrist is cupped, somewhat, at address. Would this glove prevent me from taking that position?
Any positive, or negative feedback?
TIA

I want one.  I've been looking in store, and haven't see one yet.  I won't order it from tv.

A lot of guys on FGI say, just stick a pocket comb in your glove, and it will do the same thing.

I haven't tried that either.  I'm not spending good money on a comb I'll never use.

Training aids, however is a HOle other story! ;)

just tape your wrist up like a fighter.

I'm a lover.  I put daisies in gun barrels.

The part that intrigues me is the pivoting metal support. A comb won't do that, nor will taping up the wrist. That would inhibit proper wristcock. I'm not sure if Golf Galaxy has them. I'll have to check next week. Update. Golf Galaxy has them on their website. $37.99. Usually they have quite a bit of stuff in the store that's on their site. For That much, I'd like to make sure it fits, so I will be buying it in the store.

If you plan to use it on the course, you might as well get good and liquored up before you head out to the store to buy it.

Interesting size differential analogy, "lover".

Why might that be?

Because it was said on a golf forum far, far away that cheating at golf was the equivalent of driving drunk.

I get it.  ;D 
I wouldn't use it on the course, anyway, but if it provided muscle memory, at the range, it might be useful.

Admittedly, I don't know what a Swing Glove is except from BFBoy's description here.  But if it works anything like a Tac-Tac, I found that gizmo to be somewhat valuable as a practice aid.

Not really a tac-tic. This has a metal support running down the back of the glove, and a second holding strap. Right at wrist level, the support is hinged to allow it to pivot. Supposedly, if you get your wrist in the wrong position, you will feel pressure on the back of your wrist.

If I was a Product Liability Insurance Underwriter I wouldn't touch that product with a 10ft Barge Pole.  From a Liability perspective I can see Lawsuits for injuries to the wrists, hands and lower arm to elbow fro musing this thing particularly over a period of time.....

 :o :o

what if you were a product liability underwriter?

...if I was I wouldn't provide any Product Liability Insurance to the company for this product... ;)

is that better??

Was that a tense flame?  ::)

I think I tried one.  I didn't know what it was, but I was looking for a glove to wear while demoing a club.  This big glove thing was lying there, so I put it on.  Sounds like it might be what you're talking about.

Only after putting it on did I feel the wrist support.  It was a very subtle thing.  But it felt perfectly natural to take a grip, etc, so I figured the device wouldn't get in the way of testing out a few clubs.

Bottom line, I couldn't hit a frigging ball for the life of me while wearing that thing.

I have no idea what it was preventing me from doing.  EVERYTHING felt perfectly normal, but I was just toe-topping every ball I tried to hit, weak little squibbles to the right.

For the first three or so swings, I thought it was me being me, so I'm looking behind me after each miss with that embarrassed looking smile, hoping nobody saw me or thought I was THAT bad of a golfer. 

But once I took it off, I find myself hitting the ball quite well.

So I think the Swing Glove is a great device for someone who is hitting the ball pretty decently, but is looking to perfect their shank-like shot.

I put one on and I instantly had the urge to moonwalk and sing Billie Jean.
