GYRO SWING

The market is flooded with swing trainers, but the Gyro Swing has a unique concept. It actually has a 20,000 RPM motorized gyroscope in its head.

The device creates resistance when you're off-plane or your mechanics have broken down, which for most golfers is all the time. You'll know if you're casting or swinging with the dreaded over-the-top move.

Thanks to the Gyro Swing, you can get the feel of an on-plane swing. The next task then is to take that feel on to the course with your regular clubs.

Easier said than done. The Gyro Swing goes for $219.99.
