I heard about this training aid at the end of last year, and finally got a chance to have a go on it after hearing some mixed reviews. I have struggled to a certain extent with my hips spinning out on the way down and either hitting a big push or flipping the hands and hitting a nice big hook that finishes left of left.
Stepping on this initially I was a bit unsure. With the sliding platform there is a rather different feeling. I can tell you one thing, it is hard to spin the hips out on the leaderboard if done properly.
After half a dozen shots, I returned to the grass and hit a few more shots from there. It really works your hips and glutes. These are two muscles that are important for playing good golf.
As you are hitting shots while on the leaderboard, the feeling transfers well to hitting balls on the grass. This is probably the most important aspect when selecting a training aid "Can I hit balls with it?"
There are different resistance settings that can be altered underneath to allow just about anyone to use it. I didn't have it on that high a setting, so there is definitely a lot of scope for improvement for me on this. There is also a bonus with it, you can use it for just about any part of your game, and also for your strength training.

This is a training aid that I will be using with you students.
