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.
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.
[[VERIFY: how the product is worn or attached, in the manufacturer's own words]]
[[VERIFY: stated materials, sizes offered and current published price, including currency and postage]]
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.
[[VERIFY: one or two specific strengths, drawn from the manufacturer's published specification and from what buyers consistently report. Do not paraphrase marketing copy as fact.]]
What we would want to know before buying
These are the questions we would ask about any trainer in this category, ours included. The answers here are left open until we have checked them against published information.
- Sizing: [[VERIFY: number of sizes, the size range, and whether custom fitting exists]]
- Dispatch: [[VERIFY: dispatch country and typical delivery time to a UK address]]
- Import costs: [[VERIFY: whether UK buyers pay import VAT or a carrier handling fee on arrival]]
- Returns: [[VERIFY: returns window, who pays return postage, and any conditions]]
- Materials: [[VERIFY: materials and fastening type as stated by the manufacturer]]
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, and our note on buying one in the UK covers the delivery and duty side.
Who it suits
[[VERIFY: describe the intended golfer fairly, based on the manufacturer's own positioning]]
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.

The Fat Free Swing Glide is designed and manufactured by hand in Great Britain and dispatched from the UK, so there is no import wait and no customs charge. If the standard bands do not fit your build, we make one that does, free, under the Fitting Promise. Play three rounds with it and if nobody comments on your ball flight we refund you and you keep it.
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.
