FEEL THE CORRECT PLANE & RELEASE
INSTRUCTIONS

Feel a Proper Swing
The SKLZ Gyro Swing™ training club comes alive in your hands to keep your swing perfectly on plane. Using a 20,000 RPM motorized
gyroscope in its head, it creates resistance when you’re off plane or your mechanics have broken down.
What does that mean to you? For the first time, a training club teaches the “feel” of a correct swing—perfectly on-plane with a proper
release—rather than just mechanics and positions. And that leads to grooving a smooth, natural swing for longer, straighter shots.

the top,” and “casting”

proper point for effortless

Using the Gyro Swing
Who Should Use It and When?
»	 The Gyro Swing is ideal for beginners or high handicappers to learn the feel of a proper swing and develop good habits from the start.
»	 Low handicap/better players can use the Gyro Swing to refine their swings and further sharpen their timing.
»	 The Gyro Swing is perfect for pre-round warm-ups, keeping “feel” in the off-season, or any time you want to groove your ideal swing.
How Should It Be Used?
»	 Unscrew the power knob and place 6 AAA batteries in the grip (positive side up), and screw back in. Turn the knob clockwise all the way
to get the Gyro Swing’s motor to start spinning and getting up to speed. (In order to avoid stripping the threads, do not force the top on
or overtighten.)
» W
 hile waiting for the Gyro Swing to get up to speed, take a comfortable, stable and balanced
golf stance and use the integrated grip guide for proper hand alignment. (Do not ground the
club.)
» A
 s the speed increases, swing back and forth at 50% effort, starting with smaller movement
and gradually increasing to a full motion.
− Keep a light grip to get the full feel of the gyroscopic action, and adjust as you’re swinging
to feel resistance while avoiding too dramatic a release.
− Focus on squaring the clubface where the ball would be positioned, and releasing just
beyond that point. (Proper motion of the arms, torso, and legs will then become a natural
reaction. The challenge is to avoid releasing too early.)
− Look to keep the black portion of the shaft in view throughout the swing — yellow means
the clubface is off-plane. Avoid a quick opening of the clubface and be careful not to take
the club away inside.

GYRO SWING

» Once up to speed, take faster swings with good tempo, focusing on a full, balanced finish. The Gyro Swing will keep you from having to
think about your hands or arm positions, and you will start to feel the large muscles working correctly with good tempo.
»	 Swing continually at full speed for just a few minutes to groove the proper feel.
»	 Turn off the Gyro Swing with a counter-clockwise turn of the power knob. (Just a quarter-turn will suffice even though you may not initially
hear the motor slow down). Continue the session while the motor is slowing all the way to a stop.
−	 Make the same solid motion and release all the way to the Gyro Swing motor’s complete stop to take the feel of a perfect swing into
the rest of your warm-up or practice.
For six unique drills to help you get the most from the Gyro Swing, please watch the enclosed Rick Smith instructional DVD.

Warnings
»	 DO NOT hit balls with the Gyro Swing.
»	 DO NOT ground the club or hit on the ground as it can cause the motor or other internal
parts to break.
»	 DO NOT use batteries that have loose or torn labels, as they may cause the battery to
get stuck in the Gyro Swing.
»	 DO NOT overtighten the power knob or force it to screw in as the threads may become
damaged and prevent the Gyro Swing from functioning correctly.

Battery Life
The SKLZ Gyro Swing comes standard with six rechargeable NiMH batteries and a 4-battery
recharger. Recharging four batteries at a time takes approximately 120 minutes, and 60 minutes for two batteries.
The rechargeable batteries provide a life of approximately 28 minutes of continual usage
(although we only recommend using the Gyro Swing for four minutes at a time). These
batteries will run the Gyro Swing at approximately 20,000 RPM for nearly the entire charge.
SESSIONS

Lithium batteries can also be used in the Gyro Swing for the greatest battery life and
maximum initial RPMs (during the first 10 minutes of usage). While other batteries can be
used in the Gyro Swing, we recommend only using the included rechargeable batteries or
Lithium batteries. (See chart for approximate battery life comparisons).
