There’s very rarely one thing wrong with an amateur golf swing. Heck, there’s very rarely one thing wrong with a professional’s golf swing – take Roy McAvoy for example – so anytime something or someone can simplify the voices in a golfer’s head, we’re forever grateful.
Golfers are constantly inundated with miracle fixes, which are often band-aids that lead to other swing flaws and issues. But the draw of these one-swing fixes is the simplicity they promise.
Do this, and it’ll fix that.
However, thanks to the brilliant minds of product innovation expert Chris McGinley and legendary club fitter Jeff Sheets, a new swing training product is taking the thinking out of game improvement with The Click Stick, a 3-in-1 swing trainer that allows golfers to feel and hear the perfect release of their swing.
First Impressions
The Click Stick isn’t your typical piece of equipment. Emerging from the typical long brown box that houses a driver or fairway wood, you pull out a 7-iron-length club with a training grip, red shaft and some kind of magnet contraption towards the bottom of the shaft.
Thanks to Scottie Scheffler’s recent ascension to the top of the golf world, observant golf fans will already like The Click Stick based on its training grip alone, but that’s probably only an added bonus to what The Click Stick is designed to do.

The real innovation comes on the shaft with the Automatic Release Technology that is present in the movable magnet that represents Swing Improvement Levels based on experience with The Click Stick.
On The Range
Touted as a 3-in-1 swing trainer, The Click Stick’s super power is that it’s not only training your swing with repetitions of contactless swings, you’re actually able to hit balls with it. Messing around with the levels you want to move the Automatic Release magnet, you can make the click easier or harder on yourself.
Ranging from 0-10 with 10 being the hardest and highest up the shaft, you can move the Automatic Release to require faster and faster swing speeds to make the magnet click.
One of the first things you notice swinging The Click Stick is not for nonchalant, casual swings. This trainer is meant to help you make committed swings, so mindless practice swings won’t result in the requisite *click* sound you’re looking for; you need to make a real pass to get the satisfying *click* sound.
Similarly, and perhaps most importantly, the design behind The Click Stick requires an on-plane swing to produce the click. Going intentionally over-the-top of inside-out will result in disappointing *swoosh* swings instead of that *click* we’re looking for.
As you warm up on the range, you can work your way up the club shaft with the Automatic Release while actually hitting golf balls. Unlike other swing trainers that are designed to loosen up your swing and dial in your tempo, The Click Stick allows you to both warm up your muscles and work on your ball-striking at the same time.
And getting back to our simplistic introduction, there’s very little you’re thinking about when swinging The Click Stick besides getting the thing to make the sound you’re looking for, which automatically engrains the speed, load and lag the trainer is designed to hone in.
The Takeaway
With varying levels of difficulty and swing speed, The Click Stick is versatile in its use cases while simply improving the tempo, load, leg and speed of golfers looking for more consistency with their swing.
The added benefit of the molded grip ensure that you’re not only swinging in sync, but that your grip is properly squaring the clubface, making switching from The Click Stick to your normal golf clubs more of a sticky experience, meaning you’re taking the best benefits of the swing trainer into your normal game and onto the course.
