FAQs

 

How will this increase my distance?

The Swing Machine X-factor Professional™ provides a guided path on the correct swing plane and an adjustable resistance force to correctly challenge your body so you develop greater swing strength, increased flexibility, on plane muscle memory and power generating swing mechanics. These factors allow you to make a more efficient and controlled swing while at the same time creating much faster clubhead speeds. So, the Swing Machine X-factor not only builds swing strength, flexibility and stamina. It also encourages and reinforces the key distance generating swing details such as good shoulder rotation, a wide backswing with good arm extension, a proper, well timed weight shift and a delayed release that takes advantage of the body's natural levers.

All of these details, which are practiced and developed through the unique design of the X-factor Professional, consistently and reliably develop increased distance and accuracy.

How will this improve my swing?

By training on the Swing Machine X-factor Professional™ you will actually improve your golf swing while you develop a stronger, more flexible swing motion. With input from top ranked teaching professionals the design and function of this equipment guides your body through a picture perfect golf swing in slow motion and against an easily adjustable resistance force. While performing this slow motion swing it is easy to focus on the timing and details of a quality golf swing. As you maintain good arm extension on the backswing motion, the Swing Machine guides your shoulder turn on the correct swing plane into a well balance and fully loaded backswing position. Then, as you make your weight shift on the platform and initiate your down swing you are approaching the ball striking zone on an inside path and using the correct hand and arm position which will trigger a delayed or low release and generate power and speed with maximum efficiency. By performing this rotational motion over and over your body will develop the muscle memory needed to make this correct swing a habit.

Guaranteed Results

The Swing Machine X-factor Professional™ is the ultimate one-stop golf improvement station that will help you gain 20-40 yards from the tee, and improve your golf swing. Contrary to popular belief, golf is a contact sport. You make contact with your club and your club makes contact with the ball. And since it is a contact sport you will perform better if your "swing engine" is well tuned, and all that is required to tune and super charge your swing engine is to spend a few minutes a day on the Swing Machine X-factor Professional.

This is not voodoo and there are no smoke and mirrors. This is a medically proven fact. By working with this equipment, you will tone, strengthen and rehabilitate the muscles and joints used in an athletic swing motion and you will increase your flexibility, stamina and swing mechanics.

We feel so confident that the Swing Machine X-factor Professional from Power Max Fitness will help you go long and stay in the short grass that we are willing to make a money back guarantee. If you don't feel that you are getting the results you want, just send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of your purchase price.

This is the most effective golf training and strengthening station in the world and it will help you Swing Stronger and Hit Longer.

Why Golfers Workout

In recent years the face of professional golf has changed. The tour professionals who are winning are the players who work to squeeze every bit of performance they can from their body's "swing engines." The winners work out to enhance their performance because distance is the key to winning. These athletes are training to be able to swing with more power and to develop the stamina to out- last their competition.

Well, in recreational golf the stakes may not be as high but competitive ferocity is driving golfers of all ages and skill levels to gyms and fitness clubs. When they get there, what will they find? Well, unless their gym has the Swing Machine X-factor Professional they will probably see heavy medicine balls, cable and pulley machines and free weights which are not specifically designed for exercising for the golf swing. On typical gym style cable equipment the range of motion is linear or straight in and out. There is no aspect of the golf swing that operates on the linear principal. Clubhead speed, power and swing plane are all generated as a result of rotational motion. And with free weights and medicine balls the muscles being strengthened are usually the lifting or takeaway muscles. These techniques do nothing to strengthen the muscles that power the down-swing. Another deficiency in these free weights is that there is no way to insure that you are working on the correct swing plane.

The Swing Machine X-factor Professional, on the other hand, guides the full swing motion and maintains good arm extension and a proper swing path while you train so you not only stretch and strengthen the muscles used in a perfect golf swing but also train muscle memory for a mechanically correct swing motion on the proper swing plane.

Stamina to keep Swinging and Swinging

A typical round of golf can last from 4-5 hours and between warm-up, practice swings and actual playing swings a golfer may swing over 200 times during an outing. That's a lot of swings!

To be able to make that many swings and have the focus, control and strength needed for a confident finish takes stamina and staying power. The Swing Machine X-Factor Professional™ builds this critical stamina as you work out against the adjustable resistance. This equipment is not designed to build bulk muscle tissue for heavy work, but instead, to build more tone and strength in the swing-specific muscles through repetitions so a controlled swing motion can be repeated over and over and over as you practice and play. Golfers who lack stamina typically start to fall off on the back 9 holes due to simple muscle fatigue.

Working with the X-factor Professional will build the stamina you need to Start Strong and Finish Strong.

More Distance with Every Club

Technology can only carry your game and your ball so far. After that, it's up to you.

Buying a new driver to get a few extra yards from the tee may seem like a sound investment but what about your other clubs?

Your "swing engine" determines where the ball goes and how far it goes. If you want more distance, more control and more accuracy, you need to strengthen the muscles that power your swing. A new club won't do it. A new ball won't do it. The Swing Machine X-factor Professional™ will do it! By working with this equipment you will develop more swing-specific flexibility, more swing strength and more swing control and you will develop all of these distance factors while grooving better swing mechanics.

How will this fix my slice?

The leading cause of a slice swing or "Power Fade" is an over the top move or an above plane down swing that causes the clubhead to approach the ball on an outside to in path which imparts clockwise spin to the golf ball (for a right hand golfer).

The fastest and most consistent way to beat a "slice" ball flight is to approach the golf ball on an inside to out path and on the correct swing plane. This inside path will result in a square club face at impact and the backspin imparted will help the ball maintain a lifting, boring trajectory.

The Swing Machine X-factor Professional™ guides an inside path on the correct swing plane as you train and will not allow the excessive over the top move on the down swing, so with routine sessions on the Swing Machine your body can develop muscle memory for the correct inside path to impact and you can say "Goodbye" to that chronic slice.

What is the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine?

The Power Max Fitness Swing Machine is a golf-specific workout system designed with the help of orthopedic surgeons, sport medicine physicians, golf teaching professionals and tour players. The Swing Machine encourages a proper shoulder turn on the correct swing plane and strengthens every muscle used in an athletic, well coordinated swing.

How does the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine work?

The Power Max Fitness Swing Machine provides a mechanically guided path and an adjustable resistance to help you tone, strengthen and rehabilitate the muscles and joints used in an athletic swing.

Why is it important that the Swing Machine works in both directions?

Since the patent pending design of the Swing Machine allows it to work in either direction full time, it is possible to alternate right and left handed swings to strengthen both sides of the body uniformly. Top medical professionals recommend that golfers swing both right and left handed an equal number of times to avoid long term injury and maintain muscle symmetry throughout the body. Since the Swing Machine can operate in either direction with no adjustment, it is easy to get the prescribed balanced workout with no hassle.

Can I also use the Swing Machine to warm-up before a round?

Doctors recommend:

  • Proper Swing Techniques
  • Stretching
  • Strengthening
  • Swing specific warm-up to minimize after play soreness and risk of injury.

With the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine, all of these recommendations can be followed.

Is the Swing Machine adjustable?

The Swing Machine is easily adjustable for height and resistance force so athletes of all sizes and strength levels can benefit.

Will the Swing Machine increase my distance, control and accuracy?

Daily repetitions on the Swing Machine develop proper swing mechanics by grooving your muscles into the correct swing plane. It also conditions and strengthens these swing specific muscles so you can achieve more distance from the tee, more power from the deep rough and more control all the way to the hole.

How often should I use the Swing Machine and how many repetitions should I do?

We suggest exercising on the Swing Machine 3-5 times per week and for 10-20 minutes each session. As with any new exercise regiment, start gradually and work up as you become comfortable and accustomed to the various exercises you can perform on the Swing Machine. For every set of five to ten repetitions in one direction, switch grip position and execute the same number in the opposite direction to derive the full benefit from this equipment.

How long does it take to see results?

Depending on your overall physical condition and the quality of your sessions on the Swing Machine, you may expect to see and feel results in just a few weeks. Most people report recognizable results in 10 to 20 days.

After a round of golf, my lower back is really sore. Will the Swing Machine help?

Alternating swing directions on the Swing Machine strengthens the support network of muscles in the lower back, abdominals, obliques and pelvic girdle. Toning and strengthening these muscles on both sides of the body will greatly reduce the risk of after play soreness.

Is there much to assemble?

The Swing Machine is shipped fully assembled but the various support bases require that 4-6 screws be installed. With the floor base, this usually takes about five minutes.

I lift weights and workout at the gym. Why do I need the Swing Machine?

General workouts are good for general conditioning, but when you are involved in a particular sport, there are very specific demands on those certain muscles associated with the complex interactions of your swinging movement. The key to the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine is in its ability to tone, strengthen and maintain flexibility of all the muscles and joints involved in your perfect swinging stroke.

Power Max Fitness specializes in the manufacture of sport specific strength training equipment. Our various models are designed and engineered to help you achieve your competitive goals and tone your body to reduce the risk of fatigue and injury. Power Max Fitness Swing Machines function to strengthen every muscle associated with a powerful swing. While training with the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine's variable resistance arm, every affected muscle has the opportunity to contract and relax in proper functional order. This synchronized order of muscle actuation is critical to the delivery of a strong, safe and rhythmic swing. By adjusting the tension on the resistance arm, it is possible to customize your workout. It is fast and easy to increase or decrease the resistance so you can develop more swing power or simply maintain tone and flexibility for fatigue-free play. Since the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine functions equally in either direction at all times it is possible to alternate right and left handed swings to strengthen both sides of the body uniformly. We recommend alternating your workouts in this way to maintain symmetrical balance in your muscular development. For more advanced workouts, you may operate the Power Max Fitness Swing Machine with one hand, executing strokes in both directions with each arm.
