When you step onto the 1st tee and pull out the driver, most golfers want two things: to swing easy, but also to hit the ball far. There’s nothing worse than the feeling of a rushed golf swing — and the ensuing shots almost never turn out well.
That’s where the Orange Whip comes in. The training aid has become a mainstay in the golf world among amateur golfers and professionals alike. The aid features a longer shaft that’s more flexible and heavier than you might expect, which helps exaggerate the feeling of your driver while also allowing you to build your golf muscles.
