The Inside Approach will help if you are making a severe over-the-top move on the downswing, but it is still quite possible to slice the ball repeatedly when using this on the range (believe me, I did it). This trainer does not fix hitting the ball with an open clubface, one significant cause of a slice. It is also possible to get the clubhead under the pad but still make a glancing blow at the ball, thus imparting the right to left sidespin. The Inside Approach is a good start if you you have a brutal reverse-pivot over-the-top swing...it will get you moving toward the correct swing path. But for fine-tuning your swing this is not for you. Bottom line: Great for beginners and high handicappers, but if you are shooting in the low 90's already this probably will not help much.

I bought the Inside Approach to help me battle my slice. I tried everything and worked on my grip, alignment, stance, posture, swing speed, etc. I couldn't get rid of the dreaded slice. After buying the inside approach I was hesitant to use it and actually made a couple of swings with it and thought "Oh this thing won't help me, I must have the right swing plane because I am not hitting the pad with my swing." WRONG! When I finally gave in and tried it my first drive was the longest straightest ball I have ever hit. I figured it was a fluke so I hit 9 more balls and 8 of the nine went straight and long. This thing also got me hitting the ball with the sweet spot of my club! I wish I had tried this thing a long time ago.

One thing to note a couple of people who reviewed this said it would not work if you left the club face open. Well of course it won't but it still is a helpful tool because you will know that your problem is not coming over the top but rather an open face, which should be easily fixed with a stronger grip.

If you come over the top and chances are good that you do (if you slice) don't give a second thought to picking one of these up!

I wish I would have had this product when I started golfing 20 years ago. It is simple, and it works. You obviously have to understand stance and grip before you use this, but it does work. It also does more than work on curing a slice, that is not my issue, but also works on curing hooks and blocks.

You can use the device in a variety of ways and there are many drills you can try. I am giving this a high rating, because it is simple and it works. It is especially good for me to get my tempo slowed down and the right speed.

November 23, 2010 Update: It is not super durable, if you hit it a few times (which I did) it is easy to break - be forewarned.

This product really helped me to start keeping my golf swing coming from "inside". The optimal way to use this product is to keep working with it on a regular basis until the proper path is memorized to your muscle memory. Very helpful if you keep working with it!

The inside approach is supposed to stop a slice but it did not work for me. The product's primary feature is that it stops an over the top move but this was not hte source of my slicing. Mine was caused by an open club face which the inside approach does nothing to help. Also even if you do make an over the top move, the bar is so high that you can still do it.

This is a great tool if you have problems with your swing plane. I still hit it right sometimes but without a spinning slice, which can be solved by adjusting my grip. Now I can isolate that I have a grip issue instead of a swing plane issue.

This makes it so much easier to help diagnosis your own swing problems. If you have trouble with the long game, this can help!

Great purchase -
Prior to using this product, I would draw and slice an awful lot - Especially when using my driver and woods. Within a few swings, my shots were straighter and I gained a considerable amount of yardage.

Great for golfers who slice the ball!

The DVD's that come with it aren't the greatest - the only one worth watching is the advanced drills DVD. You'll pick up some great tips there on how to use this to help with your swing path - And how to hit pushes and draws when you need to.

It gets a four because I think it's just a bit overpriced for what you get and the DVD content could be better.
I will say though - that the price is cheaper than going and getting a golf lesson; and . . . my game (drives especially) have improved by leaps and bounds.

I purchased this item on the web, great price, great shipping and great warranty - you break a part, they send it to you quickly no hassle, no questions.

EXCELLENT

Oh yeah, the first time I swung, I hit a draw. PERFECT
