Total Golf Trainer Hip Review
The TGT Hip Trainer is best used for players that have difficulty with pushing or sliding their hips too much rather than rotating through impact. The Hip trainer provides excellent visual cues for golfers and can set up a simple avoidance station that is reliable yet non-injury inducing. Golfers that tend to get their arms too far behind them in the downswing or approach the golf ball too far from the inside may also have great success with the TGT Hip Trainer. Neutralizing the swing direction and path can lead to more consistent impacts and more predictable golf shots.

TGT Hip Trainer Detailed Review
Design and Technology
The Hip Trainer easily attaches to your waistband or belt for easy use and immediate feedback. The TGT Hip Trainer enables golfers to evaluate their posture, their hip rotational sequencing and hand path into and through impact. The Hip Trainer can be used with the full assembly of Total Golf Trainer products to create a complete station for any part of the golf swing.
Avoidance training is often used by some of the best teachers in golf to help players better understand the characteristics of their delivery. The better an athlete golfers become, the more adaptable they are various feedback devices during their swing. For beginners and elite players, some of the fastest and most intuitive swing goals can be accomplished by using avoidance style training aids such as the Total Golf Hip Trainer and accessory products.
Our Experience
Avoidance training has been well documented to help golfers of all skill types. The largest problem with avoidance training is what happens if a golfer interacts with rigid training aids in their station. The Total Golf Hip Trainer is ideal in its setup and creation of an avoidance system that golfers can easily use in any environment and without risk of injury or destroying their equipment.
Using the TGT Hip Trainer in a mirror is the best way to visualize where your hips are during your entire swing. As a player that can often come too far from the inside, the Hip Trainer provided an excellent checkpoint to help me clean up my impact and neutralize my overdraws and hooks. More hip rotation led me to more distance and a more controlled club face through the hitting area for more consistent impacts.
My favorite thing about the TGT Hip Trainer and the suite of Total Golf Trainer products is its non-reliance on creating a “textbook” position for each golfer. More evidence is leading to the ideal that many shapes and styles of golf swings can be productive and lead to great scores even at the highest levels. The TGT range of products can be altered to help each player find his or her ideal position and create a sustainable, powerful golf swing that helps golfers hit longer, straighter golf shots.

Conclusion

The Total Golf Trainer system can be easily adapted to each golfer’s unique swing patterns to help them create a more sustainable delivery. The Hip Trainer helps reinforce more rotation in the golf swing and can be valuable in providing real-time feedback for better sequencing from backswing to downswing. The Hip Trainer is easy to wear and can be used year round for muscle memory building and continuous performance.
