TRS Slider vs Fat Free Swing Glide

You have probably seen the TRS Slider doing the rounds. It is a good product and it has made a lot of golfers aware of a real problem. Here is a fair comparison so you can decide which suits you, including the bits where we come second.

What they have in common

Both products are aimed at the same fault: the club coming over the top at the start of the downswing, and the loss of connection between the arms and the body that usually goes with it. Both work by giving you a physical reminder of where your trail arm should be, rather than by measuring anything or telling you afterwards. If you understand why connection matters, and our guide on how to stop coming over the top explains it without mentioning either product, then either of these is a reasonable way to make that feeling repeatable.

Do swing path trainers actually work?

They work at one job: making the correct move easier to feel, so you repeat it more often. They do not rebuild a swing on their own, and they do nothing if the fault is contact rather than path. Short, regular sessions with a clear intention are what turn the feeling into a habit.

The Swing Glide is made and posted in the UK, offers free custom sizing, and comes with a three-round guarantee that does not require posting anything back.
