Review by Paul Park for SKLZ Rick Smith Smash Bag - Impact Training Product

I was originally looking at a Callaway branded impact bag but came across this one. It’s pretty much the least expensive impact bag I’ve found so I went for it. The material is pretty beefy and looks like it’s going to take a decent pounding. I ended up filling it with old sheets, shirts, leftovers from slutty ex-girlfriends, old underwear, etc…. It’s been great, if not for just being able to swing my 6 iron at something while at home. If you’re doing the drill properly it will help you feel your club face position at impact. After having used it for a couple hundred swings now, I think I might get more use out of doing what the other reviewer recommended and filling it with bird feed. That would solve the problem of having to reposition the bag after each swing and allow for a better indicator of your club face at impact. FYI - depending on how much you practice, you’re going to go through at least 2 per year so cheaper is better. I don’t think the other ones that cost more will last any longer.

If you’re looking for a golf impact training bag, this fits the bill. Fill it with 40 lbs of bird seed (Amazon sells Brown’s Nature’s Banquet Good Blend Wild Bird Food in a 40 lb bag) and you’re ready to go.

I just began playing golf in May ‘09 and my instructor suggested I buy an impact bag to help me develop a strong, straight swing. I waited for a few months and strugled with the dreaded slice and fade. I was beginning to get the feel for a proper impact but was still strugling. After I got the SKLZ bag and worked with it for a few days, I saw my ball starting to fly straight where I was aiming. No more adjusting my stance and aim point for me. Parallel left and I’m on my way. I also added about 10 to 15 yards to my woods and long irons.

Filled with soft cloth the bag works well. It is suitable for use both indoors and outside and if this is what you think you need to improve your swing, then this is the bag to buy, as it is much cheaper than similar items.

The smash bag is recommended by many golf instructors. The training aid stops the golf club at impact in the correct position. While its not the same as hitting the golf ball at impact its gives one the correct feeling, balance and position. This correct position can then be repeated. This resistance can be transferred to hitting the golf ball on the range. Being new to golf I found the smash bag very helpful in getting the correct feel at impact. I have used it repeatedly as a training tool.
