Swingyde vs. Watson Hangar

[wilks]

I’m looking at picking up one of these two swing trainers. Price aside, does anyone have experience with both who could offer an opinion in which they liked better and why?

I have experience with both. For me they both provide pretty good feedback. The Swingyde was easier for me to hit balls with, a little easier to use. And honestly a regular coat hanger could probably be easily rigged to work like the Watson Hanger. Maybe some instructors from this site can give you better input on effectiveness but overall I think they’re both helpful.

I have fooled around with all sorts of these types of training aids and usually come up with a home made version.

The Swingyde looks to be pretty much of a one-trick pony, while the Hangar looks to be more substantial.. Another I have used is the Tour Striker Educator which has several uses, but is a bit flimsy. As for fashioning one from a plastic coat hangar, it works, but kind of awkward to use and inconsistent.

Not a big Swingyde fan here.
