Jimmy,
A pro turned me on to your orange whip and so I thought I would give it a try, WOW in about 3 weeks I've shot 2,74's and
tied my career low of 71. I've been struggling for years with too fast of a back swing and tempo issues, now all I do is
think about swinging the whip and I make much more solid contact with the ball from the driver to my irons. I'm a
pretty consistent 8 hdcp and after posting today's 74 I'm headed to a 7, Just before the
club championship!!! But I dont care. Thanks for a great training aide.

Hi Jimmy,
Thank you so much for giving me the Orange Whip at the Summit. I have been using it these past few days and am
probably one of your staunchest believers. It is just a fantastic tool for the one plane swing to build up a sense of turning the hips and
core to generate power. It is the best device I have ever seen to develop a correct feel for sequencing the hips and core to whip the
arms and club rather than using effort in the arms to try to whip the club. I'm a true believer in this.
My best to you,
Jim Hardy
Dear Jim,
I just wanted to comment on how remarkable the Orange Whip has been for my golf game the last 3 weeks. I have been basically a 4-6 Hcp
golfer for nearly 20 years. I've always had trouble with tempo and maintaining consistency during a golf round. Sam Randolph, Jr. showed it to me 2
weeks ago and the next day after using it I shot a 68. I thought it was probably a fluke but I started shooting similar rounds close to even par and shot another
68 yesterday with a couple blow up holes and 8 birdies!
I started recommending it to my friends and you've probably noted quite a few orders from Santa Barbara as I've been
blowing them away with my improved golf skill. My index trend has immediately shot down to near scratch and I'm having a blast although
my wife is getting sick of my swinging the thing around all the time, like when I grill steaks on our outdoor BBQ.
I'm contacting you because my youngest son (age 11) has Cerebral Palsy, his physical therapist has him do core
exercises for balance and thinks the Orange Whip would be great for improving his balance. In your brochure you mentioned that the Orange Whip
Hickory (small size) will be available July 08. I don't see it available on your website yet and and was wondering if I can send you
money and get it now for my son. Please let me know; I'd like to get a Hickory as soon as possible.
I hope you are tremendously successful with this extraordinary product and will continue to recommend it to all my friends.
Best wishes,

Just a quick note to say hello. Sorry I didn't return your call the other day but I
received the Orange Whip safe and sound at Cowdray, thanks!
Congratulations on a brilliant training aid by the way!! It is fantastic and already I have been using
it in my lessons. How easy is it for me to get hold of some as I have 3 people who want to buy one as it is! Would the website
be the best place or can I order them? I could do with a ladies version too as this one is a bit heavy and long for some
of my ladies and juniors. The men and taller women are loving it though!!
What I could do is put a link on my website for you and run my review for Chip and Spin on here too... What do you think?
Speak to you soon and I hope sales of the Orange Whip shoot sky high very soon, I have no doubt it will be a huge success!
All the best Katie Dawkins

Hi Jim,
I am a PGA professional, I worked as a teaching pro between 1990-2004, but have now gone in to other business interests.
I spend the winters with my wife and kids in Palm Springs, and the last couple of years I have not played much golf, but decided this winter to pick
it up again, so I started taking a series of lessons from a very capable PGA pro that works out of Desert Willow Golf Club in Palm Desert,
Mike Harbour, who works on the east coast in the summers.
We had a couple of sessions to start out with, we worked on the basics, and as a final he brought out the Miracle Whip, we filmed my swing
using the Whip, and when I saw the video of my own swing, everything was perfect.
I can feel the swing when using the whip, it makes me pause at the top(I used to be to fast in the turn, causing the shoulders to
start the downswing instead of the hips), it makes me pull with the torso, and it gives me the importent lag, and even in a natural way it it makes my left hand turn (supinate).
I am now going to spend a couple of month with the Miracle Whip, at least two hours a day in 60-90 days, so that my muscle memory will get programed.
I will let yo know this fall if it helped me better my golfswing(wich I am sure it will).
Best regards

Jim,
I bought the Orange Whip this weekend, here in Raleigh NC, at Wildwood Green a local course. I have long struggled with the notion of
"hitting the ball" versus "swinging the club". The Orange Whip helps tremendously is correcting this since if you try to hit with it, it doesn't
respond well. When swinging, the Orange Whip turns me into a human pendulum. It aids with establishing a rythmic, consistent swing.
Great, great training aid!!!!

P.S. Willy at Wildwood Green sold me the aid.
Jim,
I Love my orange whip and am creating quite a stir whenever I use it on the range. I will be taking it to all of our
LPGA Clinics so the orders should be escalating!
Thanks,
Jane
Jimmy,
Let me be one of many to say... Home Run. You got it. What a wonderful concept and it will give thousands of golfers out there a better edge for sure.

I saw your Orange Whip Trainer in a golf magazine and wanted to tell you that it has been very helpful to me. My friends and a instructor I had at a
golf school have all told me that i was not finishing my swing. At the golf school the instructor had me swinging a thick rope back and forth,
he said the rope would be my best friend during the school. I made a similar rope at home and it did not seem to help much.
Then I saw your trainer and bought it. What a great training tool. John Jacobs Golf school should have these for there students. It
was just what i needed. Just thought someone should know.

Jimmy,
I am older gentleman (82) and have been playing golf since I was 8 years old. My golf game has been up and down all
those years. I found your product in Florida and after swinging it for about 30 seconds, I knew I wanted it immediately. What I
like the most is when I swing it, I feel 14 years old again - fearless and free swinging!
Thanks for the fountain of youth,
Al
The one factor that makes it difficult for the golfer to accept the idea of the golf swing as a sling is that most slings are
made of leather,rubber, or some other pliable material.The sling in golf consists of the arms and the extension of the arms
namely the club shaft, but it is difficult for the golfer to accept the stiff metal shaft as a rope or sling.In fact, much is
written about the effect of different kinds of shafts,the idea being that the stiffness at the shaft may in some way hold the secret to distance.
The real truth however, is that for the golfer to generate maximum centrifugal force in his golf swing, he must think of the
club shaft as something soft and malleable, like a rope.One of the best ways to establish the feel of a good golf swing is to
swing a small weight, tied to the end of a rope, in the same way that you would swing a golf club.
Instantly you will discover how necessary it is for your muscles to wait for that weight to swing back;and how your shoulders
must turn in a way that gives time for that mass to get up to an optimal position for slinging;and how your legs must lead the
downswing while your arms wait for the mass to accelerate;and how all of your movements must focus on that point on the ground
that you are attempting to swing through;and how beautifully your head stays steady.You don't have to actually rig up this kind
of apparatus to experience these feelings.You own an imagination -- use it.Simply imagine that the club shaft is a rope, and the
clubhead is a weight hanging at the end of it.You are now going to sling that weight in such a way that it travels at maximum
velocity at a select angle of decline along a path that leads momentarily straight to a distant target,with a part of that weight facing that target.
If you could possibly translate that imagery into movevement,I guarantee that your golf game will improve immediately
beyond your wildest dreams. It's not something that will happen overnight, but once it is grooved it will never go away again.
Until you have reached that state however,you will not play the game up to your full potential.Until you totally familiarize
yourself with feelings you will always be preoccupied with the uncertainty swing that can go haywire under the least kind of stress.

Probably the greatest deficiency I see in a very high percentage of players (versus tour players) is the lack of lag on the
downswing – the early release of the power angles on the downswing – usually referred to as casting. Along with being the most common flaw, it
is BY FAR the most challenging thing to get golfers to understand, feel, and improve the power and effectiveness in their downswing.
I'm not a big fan of golf devices, especially those that are not used while hitting a golf ball. Most devices give a golfer a sensation,
but rarely does that sensation transfer over when a golfer hits the ball in normal play. The other day one of the members at my club gave me a device called
THE ORANGE WHIP. It's a long whippy shaft with a little orange ball on the end. I really like this device for a
couple of reasons. First, because it's the shaft is long and the ball is a little weighted, it stretches me out a little and is a good
warm up tool. Second, because the shaft is whippy it promotes a slight pause causing you to "wait" for the club, before starting the transition.
With the device you'll experience a smoother rhythm with your swing and more lag on the downswing that you probably have ever experienced with a club in your hand.
And if you can transfer that sensation over when hitting balls with a golf club, you will surely see a difference. “

Jim,
I spent the day with a friend out at the Plantation Course in Indio, CA. I happen to run into
Sam Randolph who is teaching there for the season. Sam and I go way back to junior golf if you can imagine that.
We competed for 20+ years together. Anyway, he showed me the Orange Whip Trainer and I have to say I was blown away
in what I felt in just 8-10 quick swings. You have got something so good it is scary. All I can say is I wish I invented it....you will
be rich for sure but more importantly you have come up with something that is not a gimmick and can truly help every golfer who wants to get better.
I still compete a little bit but with my back problems I am limited in how much I can play these days. The great thing about
your product is what I felt swinging it left handed. As a player for so many years my trainer had me start hitting balls left handed (just to balance out my body).
I only dabble in it but I think with a couple days work I could probably break 90, so I hit it decent. The thing I could never feel was
the "swing" of the club left handed. There was always that muscular hit involved. Many friends said my swing looks
pretty good but I could feel the restriction thru the hitting area and the tightness in my arms I don't have swinging right handed.
Your product allowed me to feel the good stuff in a swing almost immediately when I swung the trainer left handed. WOW, it must be nice to be you.
I have told about 6 friends and teachers already, I can't wait to get their feedback. What a great product. Call me anytime or send me an Email.
