A PGA Pro Reviews the Matzie ASSIST Swing Trainer

I have been giving golf lessons for the past fifteen years, and because of this I have been trying out golf training aids to help make my lessons for effective. I have tried the Leadbetter Swing Setter, the Fix A Slice, the Perfect Swing and tons of other different golf swing aids that have been both good and bad. Some have been more than worth the money, others have made it into the dumpster before even taking a swing with it.

Today I would like to tell you all about the Matzie ASSIST swing trainer. I have used this product for over a month now at The Villages of Terra Vista at Citrus Hills and the results have been positive. Matzie has brought a very good product to the market and hopefully I will help you make the decision to try this new golf training aid.

The ASSIST immediately helped me and my students with Tempo. It is astonishing that even after thirty years of playing the great game of golf that you will get rusty when you do not practice the basic ground rules of your golf swing. Because of the ASSIST’s heavy weight, it helps you remember to pause at the top of your swing. It reminds you to extend through the ball, and to finish with your hands high, not yanked across the body, which usually results in either a pull-hook or a heeled slice. I had five of my students take the ASSIST home and spend fifteen to thirty minutes a day with it after each lesson and they are all hitting the ball much better. Each one of those five students is hitting the ball straighter, longer, and more accurately because of the ASSIST.

After doing some research, I have found that the ASSIST is virtually unbreakable. There are no hinges or weak points to break or crack on this swing trainer. You would have to purposely try to break this product by beating it repeatedly against a stump or perhaps running it over with a bulldozer would work.

I at first thought the molded grip was a bit “too much,” i.e. the right hand was positioned a bit too much under the shaft, but experience persuaded me that my own grip was “weak” and would benefit from a minor adjustment. This proved to be true. If a purchaser does not like the grip, perhaps a pro should be consulted. In any case, if the purchaser does not want to get in to changing his or her grip, it is easy enough to have a normal club grip put on!

Over all I would highly suggest this product to anyone looking to purchase a golf swing training aid. It is an unbelievable golf swing training aid and has the ability to help cure even the most awful swing habits.
