Dr Jean Harris highly recommends the Golfer’s Footprint® Swing Trainer as an essential tool to learn the fundamentals of ball control. “The Golfer’s Footprint is an excellent visual training aid for learning how to shape your shots. It helps students understand how the fundamentals of swing path, club-face angel, and target line tie together to control the ball’s flight.”
Dr Harris uses the Golfer’s Footprint ® as part of her teaching and training programs and considers the trainer a must have for any instructor and student that what to improve their control of the ball. She considers it a standard for all instructors to have in their kit bags. “Not all students learn the same”, says Dr Harris. “Many golfers are visual learns and the Golfer’s Footprint is a great aid for helping visualize the fundamentals…”

I have been a PGA Professional for over 30 years. My students range from beginners to the 15 or 16 people that now make their living in the golf business teaching tour players. I have seen a lot of devices which try to force you to make a golf swing. But every one is not built the same; I do not use the mechanical devices. The Footprint is an “on the job” visual device that allows the player to gradually get his swing to match the directions on the Footprint. For that reason I think it is easier to transfer the practice swing to the course with the use of this subconscious visualization and to have positive results.
I use it almost daily with my new or intermediate golfers. For the beginners, it is a real training tool to show the correct swing path and, for the intermediate playe,r it is a real reminder that the correct swing will give correct results. I also use it for my clinics because it is an easy answer to the questions of “How do I hit a draw” or “fade”. With the Footprint, it makes it easy to visualize and actually use the board to practice and develop a repeatable swing with positive results.

I have used the Footprint and I like it. I also used it with a student and they pick up the information really well by seeing the direction the club should travel.

I use the Golfer's Footprint with all of my students. My students love this easy to use training aid... many of my students have purchased these and are using them on a regular basis. They have cured many of their swing path and club face problems by using the Golfer's Footprint, and I am now seeing tremendous changes in their ball flight. Great product... thank you!

I have used it with a neighbor, his 5 yr. old, and my 3 and 5 year old. Very impressive results (kids and adults) for the first use. I have a lesson scheduled soon with our pro and I plan to take it with me. Keep up the good work!

I wanted to thank you for this item. It is a lot higher quality than I expected. Love the holes for the tee's to hold the board. ... Thanks and let me know when you guys come up with something else. Thanks and God Bless.

I've been working with the Footprint in my basement but took it to the driving range yesterday. I had some pretty good success with it too. I read the instruction manual and took your suggestion of the "10 swings" etc and then began using actual balls. I had some success but some failures. I alternated hitting balls from the grass without the aid and then would go back to using the trainer. My intent is to keep that picture of the footprint in my mind's eye so I can recall it and use it on every golf swing that I make....that's my intent anyway.
Anyway, I've able to actually hit a couple of intentional fades, and more importantly, draws. Again, not all my attempts were successful, but some were. I'll keep after it.

Cherry Hills CC, site of the 1960 US Open won by Arnie and many other major championships, was exposed today to the Golfers Footprint. I proudly took it to the range and hit ball after ball from it...I enjoy it... First, it's portable. Second, I found that hitting a ball from it was not nearly as loud or awkward as I envisioned. Third, I drew the ball with ease. (Must tell you that I usually play over a hundred rounds a year, and carry a 5.2) I also tried to hit a fade (not what I like to do) and was able to accomplish that as well. Fourth, the unit is in my price range. (I see on your web site that the price is currently at $32.50) I can't find anything that doesn't appeal to me. We will not only talk about it this Sunday on the show, but will post our results on the web site... Thanks Again...
