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 straight comparison so you can see how the UK-made Swing Glide stacks up, including the few areas where they still have the edge.
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.

Where the Swing Glide wins
- Made in Chester and dispatched from the UK, so it arrives by domestic post with no import wait.
- Works for both right and left handed golfers. No need to check which version to order.
- Metal buckles, making it more robust than elasticated or velcro alternatives.
- Free custom sizing under the Fitting Promise. If the standard bands do not fit your arms or your build, we make one that does, at no extra cost.
- Roughly half the price for the same job. £34.99 against their £64.95.
- Free UK delivery when you spend over £50, or add the Wedge Trainer and the bundle ships free.
- You are emailing the people who cut and stitch it, not a support queue.
Where the TRS Slider still has the edge
The TRS Slider is a great product with great pedigree, but it's not a Fat Free Golf Swing Glide. These are the areas where they are ahead of us today.
- Tour pedigree: developed with European Tour winner Robert Rock.
- Scale. They claim a very large number of users.
On price
We are £34.99. As published on 20 August 2026, theirs was £64.95. On price we are roughly half. We think that says more about the cost of tour endorsements and heavy advertising than it does about the cost of making a strap, but you can judge that for yourself.
Which should you buy?
If you want the product you have seen in the ads and a longer returns window matters more than anything else, theirs is the safe choice. If you want something made and supported in the UK, that fits your actual build, works for either hand, and costs roughly half, ours is the better buy.
And if you are not ready to buy anything, work through the drills in our free guides first. The movement is the point; the product only makes the movement easier to repeat.

Common questions
Is there a UK-made alternative to the TRS Slider?

How much is the TRS Slider in the UK?
As published on 20 August 2026, the TRS Slider was £64.95 for a single unit, with multi-buy pricing of two for £103.92 and three for £136.41. Prices change, so check their current page. For reference, the Fat Free Swing Glide is £34.99 plus £3.65 UK delivery, or £55 for both trainers with delivery included.
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.
What is the difference between the TRS Slider and the Fat Free Swing Glide?
Both target the same fault, the club coming over the top at the start of the downswing. Both work for right and left handed golfers. The Swing Glide is made and posted in the UK, costs roughly half, and offers free custom sizing. As published on 20 August 2026, the TRS Slider came in three sizes by chest measurement and carried a 60 day money back guarantee. Check their current page before you buy.
