Frequently Asked Questions about the Top Swing Golf Robot
Do I move the robot or does it move me?
The Top Swing* golf robot was specifically designed to take your golf club and move it according to the input of your trainer or Pro. It was designed to take your abilities, skills, assets and weaknesses into consideration and using this information along with the golf Pro's advice create the most effective and efficient swing for you and your game.
The Top Swing* golf robot then gives you back your new revised swing so that you can FEEL it. Now you can practice your swing but the robot will force you to learn your swing the way it needs to be. It will not let you fall into your old habits. By doing this repetitively on the robot you will create NEW MUSCLE MEMORY.
The Top Swing* golf robot remembers you and your stroke so that you can come back for a refresher or a practice session. Now you can measure and gauge your progress because you are working from a perfect model. The golf robot does not deviate, the human does.
Keep in mind that it is a training tool to not only give you the feel of the swing your Pro has been trying to describe to you and have you do in the lesson but to create actual muscle memory.
Until now it was simply impossible for a golf Pro to actually recreate the perfect swing for you, the Top Swing* golf robot actually does this and for the first time in golf history you can FEEL the swing.

Can I use the Top Swing* golf robot to feel Tiger's swing or the swing of my favorite Pro.
Technically, yes if we had all Pros input their swing into the robot. The fact is that their swing is not meant for you nor would it work for you unless you had the same physic, same conditioning, same posture, body size, speed, and for that matter the same shoes!
The point is that there is a perfect swing for every golfer.
The Top Swing* golf robot uses a powerful software program and PC along with your golf Pros advice to recreate the swing plane, geometry and physics needed to improve your golf swing in a game.
The fact is that learning how Tiger works or some other golf great swings would not help your game because all the other factors are not the same. Your wrists, your hips, your back, your height, your arm length etc would make that swing completely unnatural and actually on a physical level totally incorrect for your body style and type.

Does it work for my short game?
Using the Top Swing* golf robot as a short game stroke improver is effective especially for beginners. There is an art form or technique to getting the ball in the air and the Top Swing* will show the proper movement, it will help the golfer present the proper face of the club instead of the golfer trying to go under the ball to make it fly! These are critical parts to every chip and pitch shot!

How does my golf Pro actually create the swing on the Top Swing* golf robot for me?
First of all, keep in mind that every Pro has their own techniques and philosophies about golf and strokes etc. Keeping this in mind, when your trainer is working with you they get to know your limitations and your strengths and weaknesses. Based on this information they are trying to teach you a way to make your swing work for you.
The first step is to get your assessment and profile into the Top Swing* golf robot. This takes a trained golf Pro about 10-15 minutes maximum using the robot and you together. Once they have done this a number of times or they know you and your stroke from already teaching you it will take even less time.
Each and EVERY swing, as well as each part of the swing can be broken down into geometry and physics that the Top Swing* golf robot can reproduce. The angle you swing the club on, Incline Plane, Swing Plane, Angles at your wrists that you set and release as the swing occurs before, during and after contact.
There is also important parts of the swing such as height and radius of the swing. Every Pro has their own philosophies but in the last 5 years of in-depth research in creating and using the Top Swing* golf robot throughout Germany where it was developed has resulted in a series of basic philosophies that are proven by laws of physics.
This is to say that when a golf club strikes a golf ball in a certain way there is a predictable and guaranteed result. The golf Pros all agree on these basic essential parts of a golf swing, but how they describe it and how they attain it in relation to your game is a personal thing. Their teaching skills, personalities and experiences determine some of your success. Practice and habit on your end determine the rest.
The Top Swing* golf robot is the single most advanced golf swing teaching tool ever created. It’s another way for your golf Pro to get inside of your golf mind and perfectly and clearly create the swing you need, the swing they have been trying so hard to describe to you. The Top Swing* golf robot is a way for you to feel the stroke instantly and achieve your “AH-HA” golf moment faster than ever before!

What do you mean by the “AH-HA” golf moment?
Have you ever had a lesson and then suddenly after many swings you literally feel “the good one." The one swing that has perfect contact with the ball and the ball flies high, straight and far!
What could take hours in conversation, practice and video review can now be created in a few moments. Your golf Pro can take a minute to capture your swing and then with the miracles of the modern day PC tweak the physics of your swing, fix the bad part and then give it back to you corrected.
Now you can FEEL what they have been trying so hard to describe to you. You can SENSE where the change was made because the Top Swing* golf robot does not let you fall into your own old bad habits but instead creates the look, feel and actual muscle memory. In other words the "AH HA" moment is created here and now and you can immediately take this onto the course and work on it.
So, in summary the golf Pro uses stored model swings in the Top Swing* golf robot and adjusts them to create the best technical swing related to your physical abilities. This information is stored under your name as a profile and can be recalled at any time. It can be adjusted at any time as well.

Do you use my clubs on the Top Swing* golf robot?
No, there are a series of clubs that the Top Swing* golf robot uses. It accommodates all sizes and grips, woods irons etc. Your Pro will quickly set it up for your game. If you really wanted to use your own club type it can be specifically made for you. You would need to purchase an identical club as it needs to be modified for the golf robot and cannot be used as a regular golf club afterwards. This is not the point of the robot, the point is to give you the mechanics of the swing rather than duplicate the grip.

How does the Top Swing* golf robot compare to video analysis.
The main difference is that the video is excellent in showing you but it does not take you by the hand and teach you. Video is great in the fact that it breaks everything down for you but it is not interactive and instant! The speed of learning with the Top Swing* is significantly faster and more effective. Its is like comparing apples and tomatoes. Both are red. Both are fruits but they are inherently different. If you want ketchup you can use all the apples in the world but your fries just won’t taste right. If you want you golf game improved instantly then the Top Swing is the new choice.
Video technology and analysis has many benefits and is a very valid training tool. At the end of the day it does not detect or overcome your bad habits, your shortcomings or tendencies.
The Top Swing* golf robot does just the opposite, it does not let you go back to your bad habits, your shortcomings or tendencies because it takes over the swing for the duration of time you spend with it. It is the golf swing “show and tell” machine! It creates muscle memory and new habits faster than any other golf swing training system ever invented.
Think of it this way. The Top Swing is your golf game rehabilitation tool. In physiotherapy they use external tools to teach people how to use their extremities. For example after an accident a physiotherapist will use various devises to teach a person how to walk again. As their muscle memory, motor skills and nervous system get trained on these devices the patients become less and less dependant on them and eventually regain what they lost. In golf you have habits, the Top Swing is the external device that un-trains you from those bad habits and recreates new mental-physical connections you can relate to instantly. Because you are not a physio rehab patient and instead an athlete the speed at which you learn these new skills on the Top Swing will shock you in a pleasant way!

How does the Top Swing* golf robot compare to other swing training devices.
All other swing training devices are interactive and not proactive. The Top Swing* golf robot is the only tool/technology ever invented that takes your personal swing, adjusts it according to the golf Pros input and then gives it back to you. It does not let you fall into your old habits, it does not let you cheat, compensate or accommodate for anything other than what your golf Pro programmed it to do.
The Top Swing* golf robot is the only device we know of that is a perfect control. A robot by definition does mundane imperfect things perfectly! It will always be a perfectly consistent base from which you can compare yourself too, no matter what you are wearing, how the wind is blowing or how you are feeling. Once your perfect swing is programmed it will always be there for you to take a few minutes to warm up on before a game!
