SAN DIEGO, CA (November 13, 2008) – SKLZ, the industry leader in sports skill development products and equipment, today announced that it’s Gyro Swing training club has been tested and approved by the PGA TOUR Partners Club Members. The final result was an Excellent approval rating of 85% and an overall member rating of 8.6.

The overall member rating is an average of all specific ratings as scored by each tester.
“We’re very pleased to receive such a high rating from PGA TOUR Partners Club testers,” said Greg Shoman, vice president of marketing, SKLZ. “This is the first training aid that allows golfers to actually ‘feel’ the perfect swing instead of worrying about positions and mechanics. Now we have unbiased testing results to back up our claims.”
Comments from PGA TOUR Partners Club members include:
“One of the best training aids I have ever had in my hands. It lets you know when you are off plane and when to break your wrist and how to finish the swing. The Gyro Swing has given me 30 more yards off the tee and down the middle of the fairway almost every time.”
“It quickly showed me where my swing was out of control, and it allowed me to adapt a better feel and grasp of what changes I needed to make. My distance and control have improved and I expect my scores will continue to improve as well.”
“WOW! Outstanding Training Aid! Helps muscle memory and also helps proper motion in legs and trunk. The drills provided with the DVD are truly outstanding, especially min-swing and good right and left arm feel. You know immediately if swings are not on plane.”
The Gyro Swing has a 20,000 rpm gyroscope in its clubhead that uses the principle of conservation of angular momentum to create a distinct and forceful pathway for the club. It literally fights against off-plane swings to put your hands and clubhead exactly where they’re supposed to be, back and through. It’s the only product that lets golfers feel what it’s like to have a technically correct swing.
With the Gyro Swing powered by six AAA batteries, the gyroscope rotates at very high RPMs to keep the swing on plane with a perfect clubface orientation to the plane. This, coupled with the fact that it encourages proper weight shift for an ideally timed release, means the clubface is squared at impact, which yields long, straight shots with the “effortless power” sought by golfers.
The suggested retail price for the Gyro Swing is $219.99. To find out more about the product or to view an instructional video, visit www.sklz.com.
