HOW STRYPER WORKS
Golf is really complicated when you don't lock down the variables.
A golfer can have a slice one week, a pull the next, hit it fat on Saturday and spend Sunday trying to stop coming over the top. It feels like four different golf swings.
Often it is a collection of symptoms from a much smaller group of fundamentals moving underneath them: stance width, ball position, alignment, low point, angle of attack, swing plane, club path, hand path, rotation and sequencing.
Stryper's training aids gives those variables physical reference points. Instead of trying to remember what a movement is supposed to feel like, you can see how it is supposed to happen.
Turn the instruction into something physical
Golf instruction is full of phrases that are easy to say and hard to reproduce:
- swing more in-to-out;
- stop coming over the top;
- shallow the club;
- stop getting stuck inside;
- improve hand path and delivery space;
- rotate through;
- sequence the club so it works right through impact before naturally exiting left later.
SwingMate gives those instructions a physical location. A rod can be a wall, ceiling, gate, target, body checkpoint, directional reference or repeatability marker. Move the rod and its job changes.
That is why the same platform can be configured for opposite problems: slice or hook, over the top or stuck inside, steep or shallow, early cut-left sequencing or a good later leftward exit.
Use either product on its own - or both together
SwingMate does not require StanceMate, and StanceMate does not require SwingMate. They can be used separately whenever that is all you need.
Use SwingMate for swing plane, club path, hand path, delivery space, rotation, sequencing, post-impact exit - anything with body movement. You can even use it for pitching, chipping and putting references. StanceMate is about repeatable setup: stance width and ball position from driver through the short game and onto the green.
The Stryper Plus bundle simply combines both for when you want one complete practice station.
Swing faults are fixed not by thoughts, but by stopping the fundamentals from moving
A slice, hook, pull, push, fat shot, thin shot, shank, heel strike or toe strike can look like a completely separate problem. Often they are different outcomes from a smaller group of setup and movement relationships changing underneath the swing.
Stance width influences balance and rotation. Ball position influences low point and angle of attack. Swing plane and club path influence how the club is delivered. Hand path, delivery space, body rotation and sequencing influence whether the club can return consistently.
Stryper makes those relationships visible and repeatable. StanceMate gives stance width and ball position a measured reference. SwingMate gives swing plane, path, hands, body movement and post-impact exit a physical reference.
That means many apparently complicated problems can begin resolving themselves when the core geometry becomes more repeatable instead of forcing the golfer to stack one compensation on top of another.
BUILD QUALITY
Built for repeat practice
SwingMate can be packed away with hinges in place, so it's already set up for your next session. It's tough enough to withstand years of heavy use: anodised aluminium, laser-etched markings, purpose-built adjustment hardware and a heavy-duty carry bag.
Anodised aluminium, up close
SwingMate's CNC-machined base and StanceMate use anodised aluminium, with reference markings designed to stay part of the equipment you return to session after session.
Purpose-built ratcheting hinges
SwingMate's proprietary spring-loaded hinges are designed to hold the long rods firmly while still letting you change inclination, rotation and position for different practice references.
Made to travel with your practice
SwingMate and Stryper Plus pack into a 1680D ballistic-nylon carry bag with a zip, carry handles and shoulder strap, so the same reference system can move from home to the range or simulator.
Measure it. Improve it. Trust it.
Set one reference. Make swings. Observe the result. Adjust deliberately. When a setting works, return to it next session instead of starting again from memory.
Measure it
Give the setup or movement a physical location you can see and reproduce.
Improve it
Make one deliberate change, hit enough shots to judge it, and adjust from what actually happens.
Trust it
When a setting works, return to it next session instead of trying to remember the feel.

STRYPER GOLF REVIEWS
You can hit 100 balls and still not understand how to change your swing, or you can use Stryper's products and do it in a dozen

Common questions before you choose
Can I use StanceMate or SwingMate on its own?
Yes. Each product works on its own. Use StanceMate when you want repeatable stance width and ball position. Use SwingMate when you want adjustable movement references. Use both together when you want the complete practice station.
How long does setup take?
Quickly enough to start practising straight away. Begin with the documented reference for the drill, make a few swings, then fine-tune it from the result. You do not need to study a complicated system before you start.
Can I practise indoors or outdoors?
Yes. Use Stryper at the range, on suitable indoor practice surfaces, in simulators, garages and other practice spaces with enough clearance. The same products can be used for full swing, pitching, chipping and putting drills.
Ready to make your practice repeatable?
Choose the part of your practice you want to make measurable, or use both products when you want setup and movement references around the same ball position.
