Powerchute Golf Swing Trainer $79.95 Powerchute Golf Swing Trainer Powerchute is the ultimate in golf performance training technology. Powerchute’s patented design generates shaft and clubhead resistance to significantly increase clubhead speed and driving distance while delivering significant improvements to the golf swing. Powerchute was originally conceived for World Long Drive competitors and has been redesigned and reengineered by Jim Sowerwine, creator of the award winning Inside Approach ‘Slice Correction Trainer’, awarded the ‘Swing Trainer of the Year’ by ‘Golf Digest Magazine’ 2004 and 2005 . Click Here to Watch a Video on Using the Powerchute Click Here to Watch a Video Animation on Setting up the Powerchute Click Here to Download the Powerchute User Manual How it Works? Why Powerchute? Benefits to Novice, Intermediate and Beginner golfers To the recreational golfer, the Powerchute will provide much more than just increased clubhead speed. Swinging the Powerchute on a regular basis has been proven to improve technique, particularly with the ‘transition’ the sequence of movements from the backswing to the forward swing , arguably the most critical move of the swing. Due to the chute resisting the club from releasing early in the downswing, proper body motion is triggered to swing the chute through to the finish. Consequently, the optimum sequence of movements is introduced and ‘lag’ is developed. Note – The Powerchute was tested by the Titleist Performance Institute’s ‘Three-Dimensional Motion Capture System’. This technology is used to identify and measure golfers’ ‘sequencing’ and ‘lag’. In summary, all golfers tested improved sequencing and increased ‘lag’. What this means in simple terms ? the better one’s ‘sequencing’ , the more efficient the swing. The most common result of poor sequencing is releasing the clubhead early. This is often referred to as ‘Casting’ or ‘Throw’ 96% of recreational golfers release the club early. It is also the very reason why most recreational golfers have a difficult time consistently making solid contact when the ball is on a tight lie, and it is the main contributor to lack of distance. Simply explained, when the clubhead is released early, maximum clubhead speed occurs before the clubhead reaches the bottom of the arc.. When this happens, the clubhead actually passes the hands before contacting the ball, thus inadvertently adding loft to the clubface and making it virtually impossible to compress the ball off a tight surface. Benefits to Low-Handicap Golfers: Even though a low ‘handicap’ golfer or professional golfer may already have a technically sound golf swing and efficient sequencing, training with the Powerchute will increase clubhead speed and progress technique.

Mizuno MP-57 Iron Set Review

The Mizuno MP-57 irons are a crowning achievement in the evolution of Mizuno’s award winning Grain Flow Forging and Cut Muscle technologies. The Product Development team undertook the task of making the MP-57′s the first MP iron with a full cavity, resulting in a significantly larger sweet area than any other iron in the history of the MP line. Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57′s with Cut Muscle technology will deliver the feel and shot making ability that MP iron players crave. Most importantly, the MP-57′s deliver all these playing aspects, yet in a classic head profile that appeals to the better players.

The Mizuno MP 57 irons certainly are a glorious accomplishment in the development of Mizuno’s awarded Grain Flow Forging® and Cut MuscleTM technologies in golf.

Together with greater forgiveness, the MP-57′s create a somewhat increased ball flight in the long irons and a middle trajectory in the scoring irons. Additionally, they provide the reliable feel and shot generating capability that golf player desires.
