Meet the Orange Whip LightSpeed: The Ideal Pre-Round Warm-Up Aid

First, let me start by saying that this is not a paid endorsement. 

Jim Hackenberg’s Orange Whip Trainer has become a staple piece of training equipment for dedicated golfers.  Indeed, its become entirely commonplace over the years for you to see an Orange Whip in the bags of Tour players, such as Daniel Berger, Austin Cook, and Greg Norman, and amateurs alike:

And the explanation is simple: the Orange Whip Trainer helps develop and ingrain that ideal swing rhythm, tempo, and balance.  In addition, the Orange Whip helps keep your swing on plane while simultaneously enhancing your core fitness and flexibility. 

As a result, the Orange Whip has become a huge hit over the years, and a staple of mine and probably thousands of other golfers training.  Indeed, even Golficity’s golf guru, Kevin Sprecher, is an advocate of the Orange Whip:

However, the game of golf has experienced a strategy switch from who can be precise with every shot into who who can hit the ball far, and then rely on their wedge play to either setup a birdie opportunity, regardless of whether the balls in the middle of the fairway or in some hairy rough.

As a result, Jim has developed and released the Orange Whip LightSpeed.  Similar to the rest of the Orange Whip product line, the LightSpeed is designed to synchronize your golf swing and develop that perfect rhythm and balance while increasing your range of motion.  However, in contrast to the other Orange Whips, the LightSpeed’s focus is develop speed.  In accordance with over-speed training principles that have been receiving a lot more attention due to Phil’s “fountain of youth” resurgence off the tee, the Orange Whip LightSpeed weighs approximately ½ pound lighter than the original Orange Whip Trainer.

Accordingly, the LightSpeed might be a great option from Orange Whip for anyone who’s looking for that quick, but invaluable, pre-round stretch and warm-up before hitting that first tee.  And, as far as I’m concerned, the LightSpeed’s release couldn’t be any more perfectly timed now that the Masters is just over 2 weeks away, signaling that unofficial start to the 2019 golf season (at least, for those of us you still get all 4 seasons throughout the year).

As briefly mentioned above, the LightSpeed (measuring in at 43 inches and 1.25 pounds) rounds out a very robust product line that offers something for every golfer out there:

• the original Orange Whip Trainer (47 inches and weighs 1.75 pounds);
• the Orange Whip Mid-Size (43 inches and 1.7 pounds);
• the Orange Whip Compact (35.5 inches and 1.6 pounds); and
• the Orange Whip Junior (38 inches and 1.3 pounds)

In addition, make sure to check out the Orange Whip Wedge, made with the help of world-renowned short game expert Stan Utley, and Orange Whip Putter, both which train your ability to swing the club and impact the ball with consistency and improve your margin for error.
