00:02 When it comes to gadgets,
00:05 I'm not into a huge amount of tech,
00:07 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,
00:18 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
00:28 back and through and back and through.
00:30 And what you'll notice is it really drags you through,
00:32 so it drags your body through
00:34 and gives you that lovely, lovely finished position
00:37 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,
00:42 so it immediately puts the golfer
00:43 in a more athletic position
00:44 with the weight on the balls of the feet.
00:46 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.
00:56 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.
