A Golf Pro the new Matzie ASSIST Golf Swing Trainer
I have been giving golf lessons for the past fifteen years, and because of this I have been trying out training aids to help make my lessons for effective. I have tried the Swing Setter, the Swing Groover, the Gyro Swing and many other different types of aids that have had mixed results. Some have been more than worth the money, others have made it into the dumpster before even taking a swing with it.
Today I would like to tell you about my experiences with the Matzie ASSIST swing trainer. I have used this product for over a month now at The Villages of Terra Vista at Citrus Hills and the results have been positive. Matzie has brought a very capable product to the market and hopefully I will help you make the decision to try this new training aid.
The ASSIST instantaneously helped my students and I with Tempo. It is astonishing that even after 20 years of playing the great game of golf that you can get rusty when you don’t practice the basic fundamentals of your golf swing. Because of the ASSIST’s heavy weight, it helps you remember to pause at the top of your golf swing. It reminds you to extend through the ball, and to finish with your hands held high, not yanked across the body, which usually results in either a pull-hook or a heeled slice. I had five of my students take the ASSIST home and spend fifteen to thirty minutes a day with it after each golf lesson and they are all hitting the ball much better. Each one of the five students practicing with the ASSIST is now hitting the ball straighter, longer, and more accurately because of the ASSIST.
After doing some research, I have found that the ASSIST is virtually indestructible. There are no hinges or weak points to crack or fail on this golf swing trainer. You would have to purposely try to break this product by beating it repeatedly against a rock or perhaps running it over with a crane would work.
In the beginning I thought the molded grip was a bit “too much,” i.e. the right hand was placed to some extent too much under the golf club shaft, but my own knowledge convinced me that my own grip was “weak” and would advantage from an adjustment. This proved to be true. If a purchaser does not like the grip, perhaps a pro should be consulted. In any case, if the purchaser does not want to get in to changing his or her grip, it is easy enough to have a regular golf grip put on!
Over all I would highly suggest this product to any golfer looking to purchase a golf swing training aid looking to improve their golf game. It is a fantastic product and has the ability to help cure even the most horrible swing habits.
