I bought every golf swing trainer on Amazon to fix all my swing faults. Will any of them work? We’ll see. For $147, this can be yours from our good friends at Amazon. For $147 bucks, if it fixes everything, you’ll never need a swing lesson again. This goes on like this. You wrap it around your body. I feel like I’m like a a knight, a samurai or somebody getting ready for battle. I’m putting on the full armor of golf. My breastplate of swing righteousness. All right, there we’re in. And then you twist those. There we go. There we go. There we go. I got it. I got it. Ha. All right. Then this goes in like so. Right. Like that. And you strap her down. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think freedom in the golf swing is uh a good thing. I I don’t have any now, but maybe too much freedom is not good. Here we go. Swing jacket practice swing. Oh my gosh. If this is the correct swing, I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life. I mean, I feel just You tell me though. Whoa. I mean, my hands. Oh, that feels awkward. [Laughter] That’s a 40 yard seven iron. Oh my goodness. Maybe this is how you should swing it. How much should we pay for this? Okay. How many shanks does it take before you give up? Or would you tell yourself, “No wonder I’m not that good. Is because I’m doing it wrong and when I do it right, I shank it.” That mean that makes no sense. All right, but my swing’s way over here. Okay, I’m going to keep I’m going to do it. Going to Well, I got no other choice but to do it. Do I look like Scotty Sheffller with this finish? Okay, I just I either shank it or I snap hook the seven iron into the net on the left side of the range. This is ridiculous. This is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in golf swing training aids. I wouldn’t subject anybody here at the range to this type of abuse. I really wouldn’t. Not with this one. I’m sorry. Wow. And it’s pinching me out. It’s g me. Look at that. Oh, look at what it did. I’m injured. Look at that, dude. I only hit a few shots. I’m I have to go to the ER. My goodness. I think I think we’re done with this. Thumbs down. I’m hurt. This is the most damage I got on a training aid ever. Very critical as we look at these products and anytime you use training aids to adjust your golf swing, it will affect many other things in the chain of your golf swing. So, this is hack motion. Editing this video, I realized we needed to talk about this in this video. when you use something that changes the pattern of your golf swing. My swing looks horrible throughout this video. And it’s because my wrists are doing something different because I changed the pattern of my swing. So, I’ve always been a big fan of hack motion. Something to check out. I’ll leave a link in the video description below. It will show you and calculate and it’s what I use to fix my swing after we did this video. So, as you pull your club more inside, if you are shutting the face and you’re getting more inside, it’s going to mess it up at the top of your back swing. If you take it outside and you roll your wrist because you’ve changed, now you’ll know. Hack Motion has all these different drills and things you can do to fix and calculate and analyze where your wrists are in your swing. So if you change something, you might need a re-calibration in your wrist position because that’s ultimately what controls the club face is your hands. And if as your wrists move throughout your swing, if you wear a jacket or do something different or wear something different to help your swing flaw in your arms or something, you’re going to need to recalibrate your wrist. So something to check out as you look at this, and you’ll notice it in my swing. Oh man, that’s awful. How do you fix it? This is how I fixed it. HackMotion link in the video description below. Give them a checkout. I use it all the time. As you can see, it tells you where you are throughout your golf swing. Now, just remember that. No hate on my swing in the video. You know, it’s been corrected. Here we go. From Guyana. I know it’s strangest name ever, but if you remember one of the last videos I did, I got this wrist brace from these guys and it’s sold out on Amazon in like hours after the video. So, they have a chicken wing elbow strap that we’re going to try out. This is $39.99 on Amazon. I get absolutely nothing for that except negative $39.99. Will this help? Keep Well, it definitely helps not bend it. Oh, well. H I had high hopes for this because of the wrist thing that did really well, but this I’m not so sure. This is the problem right here. At this point, your elbow should bend and it it won’t let it bend. Like if I swung lefty, you even if your elbow’s straight like here, it you it needs to bend. But I’ll tell you what, it does force you to rotate. Oh, I topped a seven iron. I mean, it might help you with the chicken wing here, but you need bend over there. If anything, this helps you rotate your body more rather than keep your elbow straight. Yeah, it’s meant for the elbow, but I find my hips rotating more. So, I think for the chicken wing, no bueno. For added rotation, yes. But I don’t know how you market something on your elbow for hip rotation. But I’ve never rotated more than when I wear this, oddly enough. So for chicken wing, thumbs down. For hip rotation, thumbs up. One of my issues is aiming. So from my aiming golf aiming device, I got this thing. I am absolutely shocked. I spent $89 on this thing. What? Already? I feel ripped off. All right, here’s what we do. We’ve got it in aiming mode. So, it’s got aiming mode and body turn mode. All I care about is aiming mode. It’s way too expensive if if you ask me, but if it works, fantastic. We’re going to test it. So, what you do is you get behind your ball like this. I’ve got it in aiming mode. I press this button here. And so it’s zero degrees this way. So that’s where I’m aiming. And then as I turn my body, this rotates in degrees. So I’m going to lay an alignment stick down just to verify that it’s getting me exactly where we want to aim. Okay. And it’s got a little vibration caliber on here. So I’m pointing at this blue post out there. So this should read 90°. and give me a little vibration indicator to know I’m aiming there with my hips. All right, here we go. There it goes. It’s moving. Okay, it says N. Okay, pretty good. 94 88 it. All right, I’m good. Okay, then you got to do it again. Set up. All right, I’m right behind the ball. What? But what if I want to go with that one? Do I stand over here? Does it? No. All right, I just recalibrated it to like the orange and white. So now I’m going to move this just to kind of verify. All right, so I’m just double checking. Oh, my hips say 80. So they’re open. 889. Yeah. Okay. Oh, it picked the wrong It doesn’t match. So that’s what it says right there. I don’t Look at this. Okay, I see a problem. All right. It look like this is what I wanted. Okay. Recalibrate. I’m think I’m pointing my hips there. But then when I come in, I’m lined up right here. Yeah. It’s the same thing as the the club. It gives me a vibr. I think I just wasted 90 bucks on this thing. It’s a gimmick. It’s a $90 gimmick cuz it’s not that accurate. I think just putting your stick down and practicing aiming there is going to cure the problem. Maybe if it was $6 that’d be cool. All right. Fail from my aiming. Dang it. Next up from Yolfolf, the golf pressure plate. this. You’re supposed to be able to learn how to transfer your weight from one foot to the other. The YOLF pressure plate on Amazon. I spent $99 on this bad boy. Is it worth it? Will it help solve the issue that we need? I like this. Tells you which way to aim, which way to put it. It also comes with this wedge. So, you can kind of force yourself, let’s say, to just go one direction. I do like that. All right. So, with the wedge on there on the back foot, yeah, I can’t get too far over here. It forces me to keep my weight a little forward. I like that. And then I’m going to swing and stomp down here. So, if you’re hitting it fat, this might solve your issues. Oh. So, yeah. So, I take the wedge out this way. I can feel my weight go back and then forward here. It’s like a balance beam almost. I think one of the challenges is I’m higher up than normal. So, it raises my low point in the swing. So, I’m going to just transfer the weight back forward. And how do you hit that fat? I just did. All right. I’m going back to the the wedge in here. Keep that on there. There we go. I like that better. Okay, that is good cuz it forces you to stay. So many times people rotate on the outside of their right heel. So, I can see how that could hold that in there. So, for stability wise, I like that. Here’s the challenge I have. I just paid $100 for this thing and I don’t know to be honest if it’s any better. I think just the wedge would work. This is all you maybe that’s all you need right there. Look at that. That’s even better. Oh, that’s way better. See, that is what you need right here. Put your foot on that. I just paid 99 bucks for a little wedge piece of plastic. If you need one of these, this is all you need to do is find this and you can get those at any I think Home Depot. You can make some like that’s all you need. This is one of the greatest training aids we’ve run into today. The last two are my favorite by by a mile. And I just I’m hopeful they’re going to work. And hey, by the way, thanks for watching. We just hit half a million subscribers. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Let’s rock and roll to a million. I need your help. Subscribe to the channel if you haven’t done so already. This is the VPX golf swing launch training device. $74.99 on Amazon. And uh yes, it feels equally as strange as it looks. And it looks like it’s a gimmick that is made to entice you to purchase it. We will see and get the real truth. It’s a belt you strap on. We’ve got these hooks. These go on here. It’s almost like we’re going bungee jumping. Then we’ve got this piece here. This goes on your ankle. Oh my gosh. I mean, look at this. This is the So, here’s the goal of this one is I want to keep my foot planted. So, this is forcing me to kind of keep that leg bent. And walking is bizarre. And then as you swing, it’s forcing me to to pull down and get in this squat mode, which I love. Oh, I can feel it right here in the glutamus, whatever. And then here you go. The question is, will this work? It’s a workout already. My quad is burning. So, we’re trying to go here and get this motion. That’s the goal with with it on this leg. You can do it on the other leg, too, which we’ll check out in just a second. Oh, I hit a good one. Now, a good shot doesn’t equal good product. I want to know, is my body doing what it’s supposed to be doing? It feels like it is, but is it? This feels weird. I kind of like it on this back leg. Okay, I just did it again. When I’m here, I can feel it pulling me down here. I do like that. So, let’s say we put it on this foot. Then what happens? It’s pulling your hip down and back a little. So, here you Yeah, I could feel it pulling my hip down instead of up. Well, that was a nice tight draw. Here’s the deal. I don’t really need this kind of help. I need the other kind. Oh my gosh. I was going to hate on this thing to be honest with you cuz it looks so ridiculous, but um I like it. I like it on this back foot. In my opinion, the winner of today is the VPX banded ankle thingammer bob. You tell me. Thanks for watching. Love you guys. See you next time.

You’re the best mr shortgame
Had me laughing so hard during the breastplate of golf swing righteousness & those swings Matt! My wife just asked why I was literally buckled over laughing! Great stuff & keep it up brother 🤙
It seems like that elbow guard is just meant to do half swings and practice. Doing the full swing and going all the way back might not work with it. In that case, isnt it teaching you poor habits?
as soon as you pulled out the swing jacket… I said "that's not going to work" lol
The t-rex arms in the finish swing of the breastplate of golf swing righteousness were hilarious.
I think I’ll stick to just learning things myself rather than looking ridiculous at the range with any of these. That’s just me though.
Wedge clicks on top of the plate
Love the Pressure Plate for coaching baseball players who are trying to learn the golf swing. They are always stuck on their back foot.
I thought there was going to be two more after the self promo?
Have to go to the ER! LOL!!! I can't believe you kept swinging with that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle vest one, thanks for trying all these products out for us! Really enjoy your videos, especially when you've had what seems like 3 double shots of espresso.
Dude I got one for shipping only 9.95
Can U wear the jacket to the PGA? 🧥
does the VPX Swing Launch come with a WHIP and a GOTH GIRL TOO❓❓❓❓
The full armor of golf… that’s some legit armor
Where’s the Medicus Swing Trainer? Remember that? 😂
Someone should be arrested for selling that jacket.
I built my pressure plate for like $15 at home depot, didnt have any spare wood laying around, and there are plenty of videos on youtube if you arent very handy!
This just goes to show you, there are plenty of ways to separate you from your money all in the name of golf. Nothing beats practice, and that's free!!!
Some of that stuff is just crazy …
That being said said have you ever tried the divot board and if so thoughts on it .
Someone didn’t read the instructions on the pressure plate. The wedge attaches on top…
You can make a homemade weight shift board with a 3 foot piece scrap 1×12 and screw a 1×1 spanning the width in the middle of the scrap piece.
After seeing this it makes me think I should buy 2 of those bungee cord things and use them both simultaneously — then maybe I'd stop early extending and get my hips to stay back
If your going to review something at least use it correctly. Why golf pressure board works great when used correctly
The swing jacket is the best trainin* aid I ever used. Mine broke
The wedge on the pressure place goes on top of the plate to allow you to push off of it easier. It doesn't go under it.
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Are these gadgets proven effective?
Can you Tin Cup some of these? Just put on the ones you can put on and then see if you have the perfect swing…
This is just comedy!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 seriously who is buying these horrible gadgets! I can’t stop laughing!!
Love the biblical reference in the beginning! thanks for spending the money on these things so we don't have to!
Is the new $199. 3 5 7 Hybrid for real?
The wedge on the balance board is supposed to be connected to the opening in the back to bank your foot
Took one for the team with that injury, swing jacket is a hazardous product.
Love your vids Matt. Congrats on the 500k subscribed!
FYI,
I think Amazon recommends using the ankle thing in combination with the body armour thing and the elbow thing while standing on the balance beam thing for best results. 😂
This is so funny love to see the breastplate on a woman 😉 This is so great thanks for sharing and giving us a great start of the weekend!!!
cant you return the items? lol its Amazon!
The swing jacket reminded me of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest! Can you do the review with a Jack Nicholson imitation?
I got the Callaway Power Platform that is similar to the wedge of the pressure plate at the clearance center at Wal-Mart for about $3.
Half a mill and you want more!!! Greedy boy 😉 but I agree, smash subscribe peopme
Just bought the HackMotion and TRS Slider, along with swing plate for alignment sticks. Perfect season for training aids and everyone is either dialled in or keeps sucking so looking for some immediate fixes.
You could put a golf ball under your right foot instead of the wedge thing.
Best training aid? Take all the money you wasted on those gimmicks found a good pro and get lessons!
Did the swing jacket give you any benefit, say after you took it off, at all?
Best thing to think about. The random golfers on the range watching him put on essentially a straight jacket lmao
Thank you! 😄 I love the tongue-in-cheek humour. One thing I will say for the swing jacket: It looks like it can be a good training aid for one's flexibility. Just put it on and take it off twenty times in a row and it might do wonders for the flexibiilty of all the muscles around the breast, shoulder and neck area. I doubt that this is the idea, though. 😉
I’d love to see you review the b29 blue brick
the swing jacket isn't new. I had one about 20 years ago. Absolutely useless. Just a complete waste of money.
