Anyone heard of this $20 training aid? The Swing Whistle...

[Danattherock]

Simple enough idea. Looks like it could have some practical application as well. I have had some great succes using my Pure Ball Striker ($15). Great review on this forum about that gem of an invention from Jeff Evans. Then the Tour Striker club is fantastic. Might have to add a Swing Whistle to the mix. The website is Swing Whistle. Curious if anyone has tried one yet.

It's an interesting idea.  Only problem i see with it is that it can't help you fix the problem if your casting or not even releasing the club.  Only can identify it.  Seems like a good buy though if your swing is dialled in and you just want to work on/ re-establish a good tempo.

Hello! I found your post and wanted to chime in. I realize I have an interest in this but truly, if your goal is to Whistle at IMPACT, your body, will instinctively adjust to create that lag needed to produce a good shot. I teach 1500 lessons a year and I have a trained ear for swings that sound good and swings that make a lot of "noise"...  The Swing Whistle trains you to "store up" and release the club properly using your own clubs!

Anyway, I hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes by posting here...

Hey Dan, were you able to get this back on WRX?

Looks like an interesting aid. One of my favorite drills is the "whoosh drill" (where you turn the club upside-down and swing listening for the whosh sound at impact) so this product is intriguing to me. I watched the video on the site and they show some examples of what you're not supposed to do but this doesn't seem to be a clear example of what it's supposed to sound like at impact? Maybe I missed it in the video?

Hey 1Puttit, If you had one in person, you really hear where the whistle happens. If you're listening from speakers on your computer, its a little harder to tell. If you "cast" you'll hear a definate "early whistle" in person...

It's all physics...  Try one and if you don't like it, send it back for a refund!

I just might do that. OTOH, if you'd like to send me one, I'd be happy to post an unbiased review after I try it out.
