It's no secret--resistance training is one of the best ways to build muscle. Enter the Rick Smith Swing Kite, which offers an air scoop design that forces you to use your "big" golf muscles while taking practice swings. The Swing Kite's fabrics extend out into a kite-like shape, creating a lag during the downswing and before you strike the ball. The next time you use a club without the Kite, your swing will feel effortless and powerful, helping increase your shot distance and flexibility. The Swing Kite--which is an ideal tool for warming up or staying in shape during the off-season--assembles and locks quickly and won't scratch your shafts thanks to its rubberized clasps. It also folds down easily for compact storage in the included carrying bag.
