THE KLAMP - SWING TRAINER Click 'HERE' for The Klamp infomercial. I would like to introduce you to my exciting new swing trainer called The Klamp (fig. 1). The Klamp was developed from a concept in Ben Hogan's 1957 book 'Five Lessons (fig. 2). As most experienced golfers and teachers will acknowledge, Ben Hogan will always be considered the godfather of the modern swing. Many of the fundamentals Mr. Hogan put forth in his book are still used regularly by a majority of the best players worldwide.
Juniors / Ladies
The Klamp is a three-piece golf swing trainer designed to keep the arms from separating during the swing. There are two forearm bands (with velcro) and a joiner in between. An important feature of the product is the 'all soft' materials, and the joiners that attach the bands together will always stay constant, which means they will never lengthen or get looser.
Mens
The Klamp is a high quality product embroidered and manufactured in Canada. For quality control I closely inspect every single unit. The Klamp forearm bands and joiners are made from tough yet very comfortable nylon/cloth material, and the velcro used is the highest quality. The Klamp fore-arm bands can adjust to different fore-arm sizes, with or without sleeves (Special orders are welcome if you have oversize forearms). The Klamp comes complete with three different size joiners because of the flexibility challenges seen in the many different types of golfers. Click 'HERE' for The Klamp infomercial. If you notice in figs 3&4 my daughter Amanda and I (she's 10) are both using the smallest joiner which is the most difficult. This emulates many of the tour players position at the top of the back swing. An ideal position at the top is to have your right arm pointing straight down and when using the smallest joiner, it achieves just that in both of our back swing positions. When I use the largest joiner it feels very loose at the top for me, but for many golfers it will be a good size to start with. The Klamp is a tremendous swing trainer for a variety of reasons. You can hit balls while wearing it, and it fits right into your pocket. In my opinion, for a swing trainer to be considered worthy you have to be able to hit golf balls with it! The Klamp affects three main areas in the swing in a very positive way; The back swing, the slot area, and the impact zone. When using The Klamp it ensures the right elbow is always in the proper place during the swing. A 'flying right elbow' at the top of the back swing or in the slot area is not ideal, and would need swing compensations to excel. The Klamp will never allow a flying right elbow on the back swing or on the down swing. The 'bent left arm' at impact is solved!!! For much of my golfing life I have had a bent left arm at impact and could never figure out 'why', that was until I started using The Klamp. When the arms stay close together, especially on the down swing, the left arm will remain straight in the crucial slot area and through impact. When you purchase The Klamp it is highly recommended you start by using the easiest option, and you only do practice swings for a while. When you first start using The Klamp it will most likely feel quite awkward initially but this is to be expected. I don't recommend you start hitting balls too soon with The Klamp. Take your time, do slow and soft practice swings, then in time you can start hitting balls with the best golf swing trainer available. The worst thing you can do is to put The Klamp on and try to hit the ball at full speed right away. This won't accomplish anything and could result in injury. The Klamp has been designed for all types of golfers; men, women and juniors. I suggest you also order a copy of my instructional book Smash & Carve Golf to help develop the proper moves in the swing, in conjunction with The Klamp Swing Trainer. The book is now available on pdf file only and I recently did a fifth chapter titled 'The Engine Moves'. The Klamp Swing Trainer plays a big role in this last chapter and will help understand and develop the more advanced moves in the golf swing. The Klamp Swing Trainer COST: $60 CDN + $8 (All Shipping) + $4.76 (Prov. Tax) + $3.40 (Fed.
