Orange Peel

Balance is the foundation of an efficient and athletic motion. Golfers who swing in balance are more powerful and consistent than those out of balance. Poor balance can lead to tension and manipulation of the golf club during the swing.

The Orange Peel was designed to enhance the golf swing learning process by altering static and dynamic balance positions. Similar to standing at the bottom of a sphere, the Peel creates a slight inward pressure in the feet and legs which helps stabilize and support the hips and core area at address.

When swinging an Orange Whip or golf club within the Orange Peel it's easier to stay in balance and thus an effective way to learn proper rotary motion. Regular usage of the Orange Peel increases stability and promotes better rhythm and tempo in the swing by helping your core region maintain the center of gravity while in motion.

When you practice on the Orange Peel you will strengthen your legs and core. This will create more flexibility of motion. You will be able to pivot and rotate correctly on a level plane, adding consistency and power to your golf swing motion. When the Orange Peel is used with the Orange Whip Trainer, your entire body will achieve every benefit of a correct golf swing motion. You will be able to strengthen all your golf-specific muscles and train them to work as one explosive unit.

Benefits:
Concave shape engages your body into its natural stance
Recreates all golf course slope conditions
Promotes a rotational golf swing
Prevents lateral movement commonly known as "swaying"
Effective for adjusting your swing plane

Swing Fault #1: Slice or Pulled Shot
(Outside to Inside path)
Set your feet forward so that your toes are at the edge of the Peel. With toes raised your center of gravity moves back and toward your heels. Your upper body and spine angle is raised to a more upright position which in turn will naturally flatten the swing plane.


Swing Fault #2: Hook or Blocked Shot
(Inside to Outside path)
Set your feet backwards so that your heels are at the edge of the Peel. With heels raised your center of gravity moves forward and toward your toes. Your upper body and spine angle is lowered toward the ground to a flatter position, which in turn naturally creates a more upright swing plane.

Swing Fault #3: Difficulty Releasing Body into Finish
Set your feet so the right edge of the right foot is at the right edge of the Peel, while the inside of the left foot is at the edge of the inner circle. Make sure the white line bisects the center of both feet in this position. Your center of gravity shifts toward the left side with the majority of your weight resting on the left foot. This position will help you fully release the club, your weight and rotate through to the target.



Swing Fault #4: Difficulty with Back-swing Full Turn
Set your feet so the left edge of the left foot is at the far left edge of the Peel, while the inside of the right foot is at the edge of the inner circle. Make sure the white line bisects the center of both feet in this position. Your center of gravity shifts toward the right side with the majority of weight resting on the right foot. This position will help you achieve a full turn and the proper "loading" of your weight and upper body during backswing, promoting proper weight shift and rotation.


 

Caution: The edges of your feet should never extend beyond the further most edges of the peel or the edges of the inner circle.
