I am not impressed! A bar and some chains... I can build that in 15mins.

Great idea. How long did you make it and how many different sizes of chains did you use?

I hope you have a high fence. I can only imagine the look on your wife's face while you are doing the tricep kickback variation.

But how long would it take you to build the "inside approach?"
I'm a plumber so about 5 minutes
and yes it tears up the grass but it's got divots in it anyway. Cost about 65 bucks to make. Three 10 foot lengths of chain, each one bigger than the previous.

Every golfer I know has divots in his backyard. I have about a 5x5ft area that is completely hardpan from beating balls. My next golf project is to build a 50ft hight net and a hitting platform with a painted plane line. Good thing the neighborhood association charter is expired... hehehe

I'm going to build my own speed chain and then go to the busiest public park I can find and just go nuts with that thing. Either that or I'll do it early in the morning in my neighbor's lawn.

Wrapped that baby around my right leg tonight pretty good(no blood) They say what doesn't kill ya just makes ya stronger. Chris- be prepared to get some WTF looksBTW- I back up half a step each time on the backswing to stay out of harms way.(didn't work tonight). One more thing about distance- on their forum they say to acheive the highest possible swing speed try swinging reverse or left handed(for a righty) hard right before your regular drive. Obviously I wouldn't do this while playing but it did give me my highest speed ever on the swingmate. They think it must just speed your tempo going back.

I wonder if i'll get any looks if I take that thing out on the course and make it part of my pre shot routine.

You may want to invest in a couple of the low plastic step stools you can find in most hardware stores. Put a foot on each and swing away - it will save your ankles.

I've also heard of people building platforms to stand on. They say it makes it feel more like a golf swing. Not sure exactly why.

Delay meaning trigger delay or what people today call "lag." Or another pop term is "holding the angle."
By learning how to get the right shoulder downplane, combined with axis tilt and delaying the release of your power accumulators you will hit the ball further in most instances.

trigger or shoulder?
maybe on your side of the pond "shoulder down to the ball with more delay" reads as trigger delay,but where i learned ENGLISH it sounds like your delaying the shoulder!
Maybe (more trigger delay) would read better,eh?
happy golfing!
