Download the StanceMate User Guide Can junior/small players use StanceMate? Absolutely. At its narrowest when fully set up, it is good for most players over 10 years old. The ball position should be changed slightly per the image below for anyone smaller than 20cm. If you are 24, use the middle of the B for the back of your ball. A golf coach would be best to advise the exact location for you, but a basic guide is... Can left-handers use StanceMate? Sure can. Simply turn the whole product around 180 degrees (so the logo is upside down) and then extend the smaller arms towards you. Pro tip: If you want the logo the right way up, feel free to swap the two smaller arms from side to side. If you leave us a note in the chekout process, we'll even change it for you :-) How do I clean StanceMate? You can wash StanceMate with water and normal dishwashing detergent and a soft cloth or brush. If the text seems dirty the best way to clean it is with a "plastic" pencil eraser.

Use the Support Contact form and we will be in touch (usually less than 1 business day). - [I want help with SwingMate](https://www.strypergolf.com.au/pages/support-swingmate): SwingMate FAQs Everything you need to know How do I set up SwingMate? Download the SwingMate User Guide Can junior/smaller and left-handed players use SwingMate? JUNIORS: Sure can. Juniors or small players will just need to adjust the rods to different angles depending on their arm length and height. LEFTIES: SwingMate works for you as well. The text on the top tells you where to place the rods for LH FADE and LH DRAW. The hinge angles used during drills on the alignment rod-holder hinges are the same for lefties and righties, just mirrored. How do I add an extra hinge? Easy. Remove the plastic end cap from the base plate of SwingMate with a small screwdriver or even a butter knife from the kitchen. Loosen the T-nut and slide into the base plate as pictured. Replace the end cap. Can I use more hinges and more rods? aka "HOLD MY BEER" Drill As long as you promise to send us videos you can use as many hinges and rods as you like. We are thinking about running a competition called "Hold My Beer" and see who can come up with the most complex training drill. What do you think? Let us know by using the Customer Support contact form. PS: The hinges are our own proprietary design. You should only ever purchase them from us to ensure quality. Can SwingMate be used outdoors? Of course it can. It's made of high-quality alumiunium and hard anodised, and the text is laser etched. Will SwingMate damage my clubs? The SwingMate is half a metre away from where the low-point of the golf swing is, so you would have to be wildly off-line to hit the aluminium base plate or the plastic hinges. If you aren’t proficient/confident enough to be hitting that far away from an object we suggest you start slow and build up (and you should probably be using old, less valuable clubs in practice and on the course!). The materials used in all our products are “softer” than that used in your clubs, so even a direct hit should not cause destructive damage. Hitting the fiberglass rods at speed could damage the rods but should not cause anything other than superficial/aesthetic damage to your equipment. Can I use my own alignment rods? The holes in SwingMate's proprierty-designed hinges fit any standard 5/16” (approx. 8mm) alignment rods sold worldwide. Use ours or use your own. We do highly recommend a 1.6m rod in the Swing Plane Drill is you are far less likely to bring your hand or club down on top of the end. The vast majority of players should not be bringing their arms higher than that in training anyway. What is the best tension for the hinge spring? The adjustable alignment rod hinges are built with an internal spring-weighted ratchet and are purposefully designed to be very hard to turn. You may struggle to move them by hand, so use an alignment rod as a lever. The spring should be pre-tensioned from the factory (best tension is with the thumb screw approx. 1.25 turns out from fully tightened). In the rare event it is too tight and the hinge will not rotate, turn the thumb screw counter-clockwise 0.5 turns at a time, using an alignment rod as a lever. It should never require more than two full turns out from tight. Do NOT loosent the screw more than 2 turns, as you'll need forearms like Popeye to get the tumbscrew back on. How can I clean SwingMate? You can wash SwingMate with water and normal dishwashing detergent and a soft cloth or brush. If the text seems dirty the best way to clean it is with a "plastic" pencil eraser. Got a problem not covered in the User Guide or the FAQs? Remember, if you love our products, tell your friends. If you think we can do better, tell us and do everything we can to make things right.

Mainly because I was just so very bad at it. I played a lot of sports and had been relatively successful at them, but never golf. Then COVID hit. In Australia, you were only allowed to leave your home to exercise, and golf was allowed (no touching the flag, leave it in the hole!) A good mate and I - both mad keen surfers – were going nuts during lockdowns when the waves weren’t pumping, so we started playing the Tanawha Par 3 on the Sunshine Coast. Within a couple of weeks, we were walking up and down that hilly little course every couple of days in the searing Queensland heat. As the COVID restrictions eased a little, you could have a beer on the deck. There are Kookaburras that come in and land right beside you. On occasion a kangaroo will skip down the first fairway. The wider experience than just whacking the ball started to win me over. I also started to realise the hatred I had for the game was purely frustration of not being able to improve as fast as I wanted. Fast forward a few years and I’ve played hundreds of rounds of golf. Dozens of lessons. Three sets of clubs. Thousands of YouTube videos. I don’t surf anymore. Chasing white balls several days a week. Chasing golfing Nirvana. Totally hooked. What’s between your ears hurts your golf. I’m the world’s biggest overthinker. At least I’m pretty sure I am. 😊 I need to know WHY stuff works. My mates are constantly giving me sh*t for always wondering why something is done a certain way. I’d be on a surf trip to Indo and paddling in every hour or so to change fins to see if I could get that last drop of enjoyment out of those waves. I also love tinkering and experimenting. Motorbikes, cars, surfboard fins, a positive pressure dust suppression fan for my caravan to travel the outback, and now golf. So, in between mucking around in my shed making things that are probably already on sale somewhere, I also started to analyse what it takes to build a consistent swing. In golf, though, this constant overthinking is a total curse. You need to learn as much as you can away from the course, then step up to the tee, forget everything you do and don’t know, and just swing. Let your training take over and let your brain miraculously put 3 inches of metal onto a ball half that size and get it to go towards a spot hundreds of metres away. I relate it a lot to running a successful business. We follow systems and processes every day, with incremental change, measure the outcomes and keep the things that make improvement and discard the ones that don’t. Occasionally, when things suddenly aren’t going as well, you need to regroup, and work out what’s changed. Often you need to make mistakes to understand that the right way is the other way. Or what was the right way before is now the wrong way because you've changed another part of the ecosystem. No one decision or change happens without the possibility of causing unforeseen change (good or bad) to previous decisions. To me, that’s golf in a nutshell, too. You get your swing path in-to-out but you start shanking because you’re making it happen by having your hands in the wrong position, for example. You compress the ball but you start taking too much of a divot, your body gets sore and then you stop following through. Back to the drawing board. Or YouTube – you know it’s bad for you, but you just can’t help yourself, can you? Drill in the muscle memory, then just swing. Now, here’s what Stryper is trying to achieve. We all know there is a scientifically perfect golf swing. There’s even a robot called LDRIC https://www.ldric.com/ that has what is regarded as the perfect swing. But even LDRIC can’t hit holes in one on every par 3, so you are kidding yourself thinking perfection is the only way to improve. LDRIC also doesn’t get sore muscles, hasn’t had a knee and shoulder reconstruction or put his back out sneezing like I have. In any given human swing there are multitudes of things that will vary. The best we can do is to put our bodies in the same position as many times in a row as we can. How do we achieve that? Muscle memory from practicing drills. How do we know where to put our bodies? A good golf coach. How do we put our bodies in that same position every time when the coach isn’t there? Stryper. A golf coach tells you what is wrong and how to fix it. StanceMate and SwingMate ensure you keep doing what they’ve told you when you are by yourself. Train the muscle memory and then just swing away. Who we’ve worked with. My two biggest issues in golf (other than the space between my ears) are swaying - and hence not getting “through” the ball right either - and swing path. And clubhead speed, and hand height, and tempo – did I mention I think I’m hilarious as well? I’ve worked with two really great coaches on the Sunshine Coast, Golf Pros Marcus McPherson and John Wright, to develop SwingMate and StanceMate. The way they teach resonates with me. Lessons with John doing gate drills is where I started the idea for SwingMate. Same goes for StanceMate working with Marcus. He's a zealot for "little step left, big step right" every single time you address the ball. So, getting back to the crux, put the ball and your feet where they are supposed to be using StanceMate, set up alignment rods with SwingMate and start swinging. See what happens. Measure it. Improve It. Trust It. I know my swing has improved out of sight and my handicap is slowly falling. The funny thing is, if I’d had StanceMate and SwingMate before I ever picked up a club, I’d reckon my ridiculously overactive brain would have worked out how to swing without picking up bad habits and I would have saved many months if not years getting to where I am now. If you are serious about your golf, you’ll always need professional coaching to examine YOUR swing. But you should also get your coach to set up StanceMate and SwingMate specifically for you so you can take that home and practice it over and over and over. Now get out there and stripe it! The process of creating Stryper has been a big boost for my golf. I know I’ll probably never have a single-digit handicap, but I am improving and the beer is always cold at the clubhouse. To those who have read this far, thanks for humouring me. I hope Stryper's products will improve your scores as well.

Stryper's swing trainers and stance precision training aids give you the tools to start lowering your scores. - [FAQs](https://www.strypergolf.com.au/pages/frequently-asked-questions): FAQs Frequently Asked Questions Can you use SwingMate and StanceMate separately? Absolutely. Each product can be used individually, especially while learning the fundamentals of what they achieve. But the best gains are achieved when using both together because stance has a big effect on the quality of your swing. Are there instructions included? Yes. Basic printed instructions come with the products, but we have comprehensive instructions, video drills and more provided online as well. Do I need to be an experienced golfer to use Stryper products? Absolutely not! Even if you are a total beginner, Stryper’s products can help you. In fact, you’re our best students because you haven’t learned a heap of bad habits like most of us have. We even have a video to prove it. Will it damage my clubs? The SwingMate is half a metre away from where the low-point of the golf swing is. If you aren’t proficient/confident enough to be hitting that far away from an object we suggest you start slow and build up (and you should consider starting with old, less valuable clubs in practice and on the course!). The materials used in our products are “softer” than that used in your clubs, so even a direct hit should not cause destructive damage. Hitting the fiberglass rods at speed could damage the rods but should not cause anything other than superficial damage to your clubs. - [Stryper Support](https://www.strypergolf.com.au/pages/support): CUSTOMER SUPPORT How can we help you today?
