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
00:28 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 and gives you
00:34 that lovely, lovely finished position 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, so it's quite hard
01:02 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.
