Just bought an orange whip today and was planning on getting the driver size, full length one.  However, I accidently got the mid size orange whip.  It was $20 cheaper though, but I'm wondering if its a big enough difference to return it and get the full length.  Anybody have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

The description states that the long one simulates driver better.

I've never tried the shorter one but love the longer one.

I have the other brand, the yellow one, which is very similar.  I use it strictly for loosening up before a round, and for that purpose I do not think the length difference would matter at all.  I cannot speak to whether it might matter for other uses.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Hi JGolf! Sorry for the slow response :)

The midsize simulates the same swing, and gives the same feeling. If you are tall - above 6' - the full-sized trainer will feel more like your driver as it's a similar length, but if you are of average height the midsize should work just a great! We've actually found that the Orange Whip Midsize is chosen to be used by Tour Players more often.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
