The Perfect Hands Golf trainer is a new golf swing improvement tool for golfers who want to train their muscle memory on making the perfect backswing. It also helps strengthen key core muscles in your body to help you hit the ball farther and more consistently.

The makers of Perfect Hands Golf reached out recently and provided a test unit for us to review. While we tend to stay away from most golf swing trainers, there was something interesting about this one that couldn’t be passed up.

How the Perfect Hands Golf Trainer Works

Perfect Hands Golf consists of a few parts:

• A golf glove equipped with special metal rings to which you will connect rubber straps

• Rubber, stretchable resistance straps

• A belt that secures around your waist and connects your hand to your waist via the rubber straps

• A handy carrying pouch to keep everything together when not in use

This setup is meant to restrict your arms and hands as you make a backswing. The result is a sensation of strong resistance as you take the club to the top of your swing, strengthening the muscles in your core while training your body to make a shorter backswing.

The Perfect Hands Golf website also offers training videos and drills you can follow while using the golf swing training device.

Who is this made for?

Golfers of any caliber or experience level can benefit from the swing fundamentals and strengthening techniques the device provides. Players who struggle with over-swinging the golf club or who lack core strength during their swing will benefit the most.

Does it perform as advertised?

Our time with the Perfect Hands Golf trainer has been brief, but the potential benefits of long-term use are evident.

There is no question that you will learn how to shorten your backswing with this device. The resistance bands are strong enough to promote the proper “feel” for taking the club back appropriately. If you overswing, you will feel a stronger tension in your arms and off your waist due to the bands and belt.

You will also find that your core muscles in your stomach, back, and obliques will get a workout using Perfect Hands Golf. This is very helpful for players looking for more distance on their shots, especially off the tee.

What could be better?

While the strength and backswing guidance in the trainer are evident, the assertions that golfers’ swing plane will be improved is suspect.

There really isn’t anything that “prevents” you from swinging on the wrong plane using this device, but rather golfers will need to use the visual and resistance cues to understand when they are swinging on-plane or not. Of course, you don’t want a trainer that is too restrictive to not allow you to make a golf swing altogether; however, golfers will need to pay close attention to their swing plane while using this trainer.

It should be noted that the brand also offers resistance bands of different “weights” that may help with keeping your hands on-plane more often. This should be attempted with the assistance of a certified golf teaching professional for best results.

Overall impression

The Perfect Hands Golf trainer is a great device to teach you proper backswing form while also strengthening muscles in your core. We believe this is a tool that can help you gain distance and consistency in your golf swing with repeated use. Golf coaches will especially love this tool as it adds a physical training element to help with student instruction on these key golf swing characteristics.
