Does the Orange whip promote a certain type of shoulder movement? Level vs. a tilted movement?

Thank you for the kind words, both Mandy and I are excited about our future with The Sand Trap.

As far as what kind of shoulder turn it promotes: it does not promote either one. It will help with your flexibility, completion of your turn and the sequence of motion coming out of the backswing into the downsing, however whether you are flat or tilted does not necessarily matter, just that you swing in good balance, rhythm and tempo. Does that answer your question?

In response to an earlier post on how it works, there are a few drills that we promote however the most common one is this:

Set up with the Orange Whip in the address position hovering it just above the ground. Start making small swings back and forth very slowly. As you get comfortable, allow the momentum of the Whip to carry you up into your full swing. Keeping the Whip in a constant motion from one swing to another, make about 10-12 swings in repetition waiting for the momentum at the top of the backswing and on the follow through. As long as you can stay balanced, you are improving your tempo, core strength and flexibility, balance, footwork and sequence of motion.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Dan

Don't we all ...

I've owned the Whip for over a year - was not using it as intended and had put it away. After seeing this thread, I went back to their website, reviewed the suggested plan, and used it this weekend on the range. I was lacking the gradual buildup to the swing and having the sensitivity - the feel - to what the Whip does - so I slowed it down and built up the momentum, felt the wrists, feet, etc. If you're too mechanical and want more sensitivity and trust in your ability to relax during the swing - the Whip does it. I also think it shows you where you build up speed - the so-called whip - you've got to be sensitive to what it does and try not to overpower the Whip. It does more, but I'll explore its uses as I go through their site.

This seems similar to a drill I heard about using a thick nylon rope... does this tool mimick that same concept, and if so, how does it improve upon it?

Yes, the concept is similar to the heavy rope swing drill, to assist the user in sequencing their arms and body. But the differences are the Orange Whip Trainer has a extremely flexible shaft, but not a collapsible material like a rope. Also, the Orange Whip has a weighted orange ball where the club head would be and a counterweight on the butt-end of the grip. These unique characteristics of the Orange Whip allow the user to swing the devise back and forth in repetition, therefor developing an on-plane athletic golf swing much more effectively than a heavy rope.

I am reviewing the product as we type this.  I'll be doing a full review after thoroughly testing it out, however, I will say to this point I am impressed with what the product does.

Are you testing both the Whip and the Peel or just the Whip? Looking forward to your feedback.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
