How Does The EyeLine Golf Speed Trap 2.0 Work?
The Speed Trap 2.0 is designed to help golfers work on two things.
- Swinging The Golf Club On a Correct Plane: Swing plane affects the clubface at impact and the direction of the shot. The device gives you rods to avoid, which gives a physical reference for the path of the swing.
- Trapping the Golf Ball At Impact: Hitting the ball first and then the ground is what trapping the ball means. The ball is "squeezed" between the ground and club, which creates spin.
How To Set Up The EyeLine Golf Speed Trap 2.0
- Aim the plate down your target line, always with a target in mind.
- Put a few tees in the holes to secure the plate to the ground.
- Place the rods on the velcro circles on each corner. The rods face you at an angle.
- Double check that the target line is correct.
The rods can be placed as wide as possible to start, and moved closer together as the swing path becomes more precise.
Setup For Different Swing Paths
Straight Shots
Setting up all 4 of the red velcro pillars is intended to encourage a swing straight back and into the ball along the same path.
Fade
A fade comes from a slightly outside to in swing path. To set this up, position one rod on the left outside and right inside spot, which discourages a severe inside path.
Draw or Slice
A slice is commonly associated with an outside to inside swing path that leaves the club face open at impact. For an inside to out path, place one rod on the left inside and right outside of the board, which encourages taking the club on the inside and hitting through on the right outside of the ball. This path can feel unfamiliar at first.
Chipping and Pitching
The device can also be used for chipping and pitching, with all four pillars set tight to give a narrow swing plane through the ball.
