00:02 When it comes to gadgets, I'm not into a huge amount of tech

00:06 but the orange whip is a fantastic tool

00:09 to give the golfer a lovely feeling of a swing.

00:12 So if anyone struggles with using their arms too much,

00:15 picking the club up, not rotating,

00:17 and especially the lack of follow through,

00:20 this is the tool for you.

00:21 So all you do is hover it above the ground,

00:23 holding it normally, nice and light with the hands,

00:25 and just gently start getting a bit of momentum

00:27 back and through and back and through.

00:29 And what you'll notice is it really drags you through,

00:32 so it drags your body through

00:33 and gives you that lovely, lovely finished position

00:36 that we all seek.

00:38 When you pick the orange whip up,

00:39 the first thing you feel is that it's unstable,

00:41 so it immediately puts the golfer

00:43 in a more athletic position

00:44 with the weight on the balls of the feet.

00:45 And that enables us then to just swing the club

00:48 around the body, back and through,

00:50 and really, really enjoying a lovely big follow through.

00:55 It'll also make sure that you're going up and down

00:59 on a pretty good line,

01:00 so it's quite hard to swing it too much on the inside

01:05 or take it out too much on the outside.

01:07 You feel it, it feels very awkward

01:08 when you do any of those things.

01:10 So it'll help you to keep that club,

01:12 or the whip in this case, on plane, back and through.
