TRS Slider review: an honest look, from someone with skin in the game
Declare it first
Before anything else: we make and sell the Fat Free Swing Glide, which competes directly with the TRS Slider. This is therefore not a neutral review and you should not read it as one. We have written it anyway because almost every review of this product is affiliate content written by someone paid per click, which is its own kind of bias and at least ours is visible. Where we do not know something for certain, we say so and leave the gap rather than filling it with a guess.
Figures for the TRS Slider were taken from trsgolf.com on 20 August 2026. Prices and specifications change, so check their current page before you buy.
What it is
The TRS Slider is a swing path training aid aimed at golfers whose club comes over the top at the start of the downswing. Like every product in this category, including ours, it works by giving you a physical cue in the moment rather than telling you what happened afterwards.
Per an independent review by Independent Golf Reviews: a chest strap and a separate arm sleeve connected by a sliding plastic ring, velcro fastening on the arm, a buckle on the chest, and it packs into a compact case.
It is sold in three sizes by chest measurement: Small 30 to 36 inches, Medium 36 to 42 inches, Large 42 to 50 inches, and it is stated as suitable for both right and left handed golfers. The published price was £64.95 for a single unit, with multi-buy pricing of two for £103.92 and three for £136.41. It carries a 60 day money back guarantee.
It was developed in collaboration with Robert Rock, a European Tour winner, and the company was founded by Liam Bond, who their site states spent 20 years on the European Tour.
What it does well
The category itself is sound, and the TRS Slider has done more than most to make golfers aware that the fault happens at the start of the downswing rather than at impact. That is genuinely useful, whatever anyone ends up buying.
Golf Monthly reviewed it positively and identified the sliding component as the meaningful point of difference, on the basis that it permits range of motion rather than simply restricting the arm. That is their assessment, not ours, and it is a fair point about the design.
What we would want to know before buying
These are the questions we would ask about any trainer in this category, ours included. Where we have checked against published information, we say so.
- Sizing: three sizes by chest measurement, from 30 to 50 inches. Custom fitting was not offered on the pages we checked, so measure before you order.
- Delivery: standard shipping is stated as 7 to 9 calendar days with a processing time of 1 day, while the page separately displays "ready for next day dispatch". Worth clarifying with them which applies to your order.
- Duties: their page states that no additional import duties or tariffs will be imposed.
- Returns: a 60 day money back guarantee. Check who pays return postage and what condition the product needs to be in.
- Construction: Per an independent review by Independent Golf Reviews: a chest strap and a separate arm sleeve connected by a sliding plastic ring, velcro fastening on the arm, a buckle on the chest, and it packs into a compact case.
If you are weighing this up generally rather than product by product, our guide to choosing a swing path trainer sets out what actually matters.
Who it suits
Their own positioning is a trainer for golfers who come over the top, built around a chest strap and arm sleeve joined by a sliding ring, in three off the shelf sizes for right or left handed golfers. If you are a standard build and you want a product with tour involvement behind it, that is who it is aimed at.
In general terms, any product in this category suits a golfer whose miss is a pull or a pull slice, who already knows the club comes over the top, and who will practise with it regularly in short sessions. It suits nobody whose main problem is contact, and nobody who wants a change without doing the reps.
Claims we would want to check
Their site makes some strong and specific claims, including percentage improvement figures and named tour player usage, alongside a claimed rating from a very large number of golfers. We have not independently verified any of those, and we are not suggesting they are wrong. They should be read as manufacturer claims rather than as established fact, which is exactly how you should read the claims on our own site too.
Our alternative
The Fat Free Swing Glide is designed and manufactured by hand in Great Britain and dispatched from the UK. If the standard bands do not fit your build, we make one that does, free, under the Fitting Promise.
It is £34.99 plus £3.65 UK delivery, or £55 for both trainers with delivery included. The full side by side, including where we come second, is on the comparison page.
