HOUSTON – Stance Minder, the golf training system that helps golfers play target golf like a pro, received numerous accolades from top teaching professionals around the country during the PGA Merchandise Show. Retailers have responded so strongly to the Hank Haney endorsed product, the company has surpassed its sales projections for the first quarter.
"The feedback from specialty golf retailers has been tremendous," said Stance Minder COO, Jim White. "The activity we had at the show confirmed what we strongly believe, teaching professionals understand that golfers must start from the proper set-up position to build consistency, accuracy and distance."
Every golfer has individual physical characteristics that necessitate a unique setup when addressing the ball. Stance Minder removes the guess work. Much like a global positioning system (GPS), Stance Minder locates the golfer’s stance in precisely the same position and orientation, every time, in relationship to the target, the ball and the specific club used. Unlike alignment aids, Stance Minder is a complete training system that addresses 11 set-up issues. This simple, portable and affordable system allows golfers to effectively replicate their alignment, posture, ball and hand position while visualizing the target line.
"If you’re not in the proper position at address," explains Stance Minder inventor Larry Hinson, a former PGA Tour champion, "you would have to make a series of compensations in your swing to hit the ball at the target. Then, you’ve ruined your swing. Stance Minder puts the golfer in the perfect position at address and allows you to hit solid, accurate shots and develop a fundamentally sound swing."
Judging by the activity in the Stance Minder booth at the show, Hinson’s premise was quickly grasped by the retail segment of the golf industry.
"The top retail outlets in the country responded to us in a very positive manner," said White. "Golfsmith has added Stance Minder to their spring training aid lineup. In addition, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy and Edwin Watts will all be carrying Stance Minder for the spring season. We’re elated with this type of response."
With every purchase of a Stance Minder, golfers also receive Hank Haney’s DVD "Cut Your Handicap in Half". The DVD offers eight instructional chapters on how to play consistent golf starting with the proper setup.
"We’re proud to have Hank Haney on the Stance Minder team," said White. "A very important ingredient in our success at the show was the attention paid to us by the teaching pros. Many pros made our booth a ‘must see’ during their time on the floor. Our sales since the Show continue to validate the simplicity and need for this important training system."
