Compression Board….Training Aid Product Review

Please Note: I’m very selective when it comes to training aids and utilizing them with students as some do not provide effective or informative feedback. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT.

The Compression Board gives instant results and quality feedback to students for every level.  It’s simple and easy to use.  To break it down the concept is to avoid hitting the board as you approach the golf ball at whatever level you’re attempting.  What the board is trying to promote is the proper angle of attack toward the golf ball as you transition down from the top of your swing.  If you bottom your swing out too early in an effort to lift the ball in the air, your shaft will tend to lean backwards and you will strike the board with the club head prior to making contact with the ball.  This, without the board would result in a fat shot. If you continue and try moving your hands and arms forwards more in an effort to lean the shaft forwards or get your hands more towards your (lead leg) at impact as you approach the ball you will start to avoid striking the board and begin to compress the ball more effectively thus hitting more shots solid, further and on the proper trajectory.  It’s important to begin at Level 6 and see how you progress through each level.  It’s an effective and informative product to help develop your skill and a re-current pattern.

You can also use it for putting in getting set up properly.  It has target lines on it that can help with getting the blade square to your target at address, the length of your backstroke as well as setting the board up to visually give you an idea of how much break to play.
