Golfers with narrow or bent-arm swings who want to feel proper width through the entire swing; golfers struggling with approach shot extension in the 100-yard range; serious practice-oriented players willing to commit regular session time; golfers comf...

About this product
The Tour-Feel Swing Trainer by Sure-Golf is a resistance-based training aid invented by PGA Professional Dan Frost to help golfers master swing width—the distance maintained between the club and the body throughout the swing. The device consists of a highly adjustable shoulder harness that fits over the torso and lead shoulder, with resistance bands extending down the lead arm to the hand. It offers three levels of resistance to provide a sustainable, incremental learning environment.
It is worn around the lead shoulder and wraps around the chest, then connects to your lead thumb and allows you to swing and hit golf balls with the training aid in place. The resistance bands force golfers to actively work to maintain proper arm extension and shoulder width, teaching through sensation rather than complex instruction. The benefits of the Tour-Feel are backed by Gears 3D biomechanics data, which, through testing thousands of swings, shows a clear link between hand path width and clubhead speed.
The product is ambidextrous in its design making it suitable for both left-handed and right-handed golfers and can be used with any club from driver to wedges. Golf Digest rated it as the top product at the 2024 PGA Show. Users report immediate feedback when making incorrect arm movements, and the device is compact enough to store in a golf bag for on-range practice.
User feedback is mixed. Positive reviewers report the trainer provides excellent feedback for establishing width and has helped them feel proper shoulder turn and arm extension. Some complaints note the product is cheaply made, with the lead arm grip piece being particularly low quality and breaking almost immediately. It's not every reviewer's favorite swing trainer but it can help some players.
