INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.Hold the Swing Thing between the thumb and index finger of the right hand if you are right handed.    Vice versa for left handed golfers.  The mark on the Swing Thing should be face up.

 

 

2.Clip the Swing Thing around the shaft of the club near the head at its smallest diameter.

 

 

3.Slip the Swing Thing up the shaft until it is over the grip and assume your normal grip.  The Swing Thing will rotate around the shaft without gripping it with normal use.

 

4.Take practice swings for a few minutes with a straight left arm and a pulling action with the left side of the body to get acclimated to the feel of the Swing Thing and the feel of proper grip pressure.

 

5.Practice taking divots for a few minutes.  You will become accustomed to swinging without holding on too much with the right hand.  You will discover that the club will more easily release and take cleaner divots because the right hand does not hold on too much causing a reduction of clubhead speed.  You may need to stand at address with the ball about ½ an inch to 1 inch further away from your normal ball position.  This is because the right hand will not prevent centrifugal force from straightening the left arm at impact.  The Swing Thing prevents the right thumb and forefinger from applying pressure to the grip, which would prevent the club face from squaring at impact.  Weakening the right hand grip pressure helps to promote left side dominance of the swing.
