Golf Training Practice device

nytstyk · July 4, 2006

Hi,

At a recent LPGA tour event, not last weeks US Open, I saw one of the Korean women practicing on the putting green with a training device. It looked like a plastic rod about 3 feet long that she placed across her chest and under her arms then made putting strokes. The device had a bend to it so it fit onto her torso and the ends pointed straight out from each shoulder so the alignment of the shoulders could be seen.

It was built like the comedians gag arrow so that when placed on your head the pointed end of the arrow looked like it came out one ear and the opposite end of the arrow looked like it came out the other ear giving the appearance of have an arrow shot through your ears. It had a bend on top to "fit" your head and the arrow pieces fit where your ears are.

This golf device had a bend (kind of half moon shape) to it that fit over or on your chest so that the ends were now under the armpits and the straight ends could be seen sticking out past the shoulders. It came apart into two pieces that fit together by putting them together end to end.

Does anyone know what this device is and where it can be found? Thanks.

Sounds like it's the Ernie Els RockRoller.

I don't know about a Korean player but I did notice a clip they showed of Julieta Granada using a yellow plastic tool that went across her chest like a bow and under her arms. She was practicing waiting out a possible play off. Sounds like the same tool you're talking about. I've been trying to figure out what it was too.
