1
More swing power
Lateral training generates more swing power by working key muscles other machines ignore, including 42% more adductor & 39% more glute medius activation.
-
2
Better Torque
Lateral weight transfer is naturally encouraged every second of every workout, leading to better torque in the backswing.
-
3
Swing Control
With 55% more obliques activation, promotes core stability by working the glutes and core simultaneously, helping to maintain control throughout the swing.

Improves Balance
Lateral training encourages foot pressure awareness and is clinically shown to improve balance by an average 59% in just 4 weeks.
Clinical Data
Did you know knee injuries are the most common injury for golfers— or that one quarter of adults suffer from knee pain due to arthritis, overuse or injury? Lateral training doesn’t just improve your athletic performance. It is also clinically shown to reduce knee pain and improve joint function over time. That’s why physical therapists use our products to rehab those with knee pain (as well as hip and low back pain).
