The Explanar teaches the golf swing
by turning your swing thoughts into feelings, in the same way that stabilisers/
training wheels on a bicycle offer guidance during the process of learning
to ride.
We all learn quicker by experiencing
an action rather than through the spoken or written word.
Once you have learned the basic skill
of balance, improving your technique becomes easier. |
The Explanar hoop is used in conjunction
with a weighted Power Roller. You step inside the Explanar rest the Power
Roller on the hoop and take your grip and stance in the centre of the Explanar
with the Power Roller in the central ball position. The Explanar is then
adjusted to the correct angle in order that you can swing the Power Roller
on your optimum biomechanical swing plane.
The Explanar hoop is easily set to
each individual's optimum biomechanical swing plane using the calibrated
struts. A full explanation is demonstrated on the DVD
The Power Roller™ trains/retrains
and builds the golfing muscles, creating a more dynamic and athletic swing.
The Plane Fin™ is a essential
reference point. It will act as an indicator as to whether or not you are
swinging on your optimum plane.
The Radial Stance Mat™ is
an industry first and enables you to practice intentional draw and fade
shots |

TEACHING METHODS
The Explanar is used enthusiastically
by qualified Golf Professionals across the World. Many have their own method
of teaching and Explanar complements these.
Explanar is a “teaching agnostic”
tool, designed to enable all Teaching Professionals to more easily communicate,
through feel, what it is that they want their students to achieve.
On paper and screen Explanar would
appear to teach constant plane. This is NOT the case. Because the Power
Roller slides, rolls and slips the Explanar allows a mild “figure of eight”
swing, resulting is a backswing which can be wide and slightly above plane,
to a downswing which shallows TO plane ensuring a greater chance of a squarer
club face at impact and down the target line.
The golfer can then either release
by hinging the wrists upward to plane like the majority of golfers, or
“hold out the hit” limiting forearm rotation through the shot, like 6 times
Major winner Nick Faldo and other “faders” like the great Lee Trevino.

HOW THE EXPLANAR CAN BENEFIT
YOUR GAME
Improved Understanding
Any golfer knows that taking your
swing from the practice ground to the golf course is rarely easy. This
is because knowledge, however well imparted, often leads to mental confusion
which in turn restricts the body from performing effectively.
After viewing the acclaimed instructional
DVD by Top Teaching Professional and Inventor Luther Blacklock, the Explanar
will give you an instant appreciation of how the swing should feel.
Greater Consistency
The weight of the Power Roller plays
a critical part in training and retraining the swing and eradicating ingrained
faults in established players.
Practice on the range doesn’t
guarantee a repeatable swing.
Regular use of Explanar rapidly transforms
a motion resulting in a more repetitive and therefore consistent swing.
This builds confidence and helps lower scores. See Explanar testimonials.
Fitness through Specificity
Regular training on Explanar targets
the muscles specifically used in the golf swing.
By using Explanar for just 10 minutes
a day you’ll experience a dramatic improvement in your core stability and
an increased level of rotation. Your forearms and legs will also feel the
benefit of the Power Roller™ as your muscles are gently extended and developed.
You should see a positive change
in your physical appearance over time and as you progress you can acquire
the “fitness” Power Roller.

PRO TESTIMONIALS
Hi guys, A pro Explanar was purchased
by Mr E. Recher at the Munich trade show.
This machine has just finished its
first week "live" in action at a new indoor golf facility here in Basel
Switzerland , and as you will not be so surprised to hear its simply brilliant
, I have been teaching and training Golf full time for just over 10 years
now here in Switzerland and south Germany and I can quite honestly say
its the best training aid I have ever used.
Dave Wring and Dayne Hawkins.
Renowned Ontario PGA Professional
David Banks, based at Hidden Lake, hails Explanar as “the biggest thing
to hit golf tuition and learning since the video camera and delivers far
better and more permanent results in a fraction of the time!” Banks added:
“Through feeling, Explanar transforms a golfers understanding of what’s
required in the golf swing. It’s instant and the effects as so dramatic
and positive they’re scary!”
“The best result I could have hoped
for, thanks to Explanar. I found the light switch with a regular student
of mine and after just 2 lessons on the Explanar he shot the round of his
life, reducing his handicap from 25 – 19. Truly amazing!”
Nigel Coles, Head Professional,
Zimmerner GC, Germany
I just want to thank you again for
a wonderful day. I know that with Explanar my life as a golf teacher just
got easier. All the success in the world, you deserve it.
LLOYD HUTCHINSON, PGA PROFESSIONAL,
BLARNEY GOLF CLUB, IRELAND
“Our Bennett’s Golf Learning Centre
in Estoril was the first golf venue in Portugal to acquire an Explanar
Golf Training System and I now have another at our facility in Madiera.
Explanar is an integral part of our teaching programmes. This excellent
aid is suitable (and works) for golfers at all levels, from beginners to
those that earn their living from the game.”
Tony Bennett, PGA Professional,
PGA of Europe Consultant and National Portugal Coach, Academia de Golf,
Linho, Estoril, Portugal
“I combine video with the Explanar
and my pupils find the experience of ‘see and feel’ of great help in understanding
the swing plane. The Explanar stops people from thinking ‘positionally’.
Not only has it helped my business, increasing lessons and revenue, it
doesn’t impose a teaching method on you. It’s just a great aid.”
Joe Hagan, PGA Professional,
Hersham Village Golf Club, Surrey, England
Along with my School, I completely
endorse the Explanar Golf Training System and am very proud to be associated
with this fine product and also its inventor, Luther Blacklock. We use
only the finest teaching aids at my School to help the hundreds of students
we see each year and have implemented, with success, the Explanar System
into our approach to teaching.”
Claude “Butch” Harmon, President
– Butch Harmon School of Golf, Nevada, USA
“Simple. That’s the Explanar. It’s
a fast learning process for beginners, getting them to a basic golf swing
extremely quickly. Its results are dramatic, undoing ingrained swing faults
in established players almost instantly. It helps players at all levels
feel how the swing actually works.”
Kevin Carpenter, PGA Professional
(and contributing teaching Professional to Today’s Golfer, Britain’s Biggest
selling Golf Magazine) Celtic Manor Resort, South Wales
“Simplicity in action. With a good
grip and correct posture, the Explanar gives an instant picture of how
the swing should feel. Swing thoughts are no longer an issue. One of my
pupils, a 2 handicap player, has, after a difficult spell, regained his
game and this year won the Club Championship and finished 3rd in his County
Championship. He rightly attributes this success, in no small part, to
the Explanar”
Alun Wardle, PGA Professional,
Beeston Fields Golf Club, Nottingham, England
“The Explanar brings the swing to
life. It’s a short-cut to a good swing and promotes feel and understanding.
The feedback from my pupils has always been positive. Me and my team use
the Explanar every day.”
Steve Barker, PGA Professional,
Hertfordshire, England
“One pupil of mine, Alan Tapp, reduced
his handicap this year from 11 to 7 after a winter spent on the Explanar.
He’s addicted to it and uses it to warm up prior to a round. I’ve been
qualified and teaching for 8 years and my first year with the Explanar
has been my most enjoyable to date. It’s just a fantastic tool.”
Craig Dunn, PGA Professional
Marriott St. Pierre Hotel & Country Club, South Wales
“With TWO Explanars at our teaching
academy we’ve improved our overall offering and added value to our customers.
We’ve also increased our revenue through roller rental and extra lessons.
They’ve more than paid for themselves.”
Chris Potter, PGA Professional
& Proprietor Bawburgh Driving Range, Norwich, England
“The Explanar has given my pupils,
through feeling, an understanding of width in the back swing in relation
to the body and arms as well as the releasing of the club in the follow-through.
It’s a great tool.”
Shane O’Grady, PGA Professional,
Black Bush Golf Club, Ireland
“I’m a great fan of the Explanar.
Its simplicity has great appeal and most importantly, it works! Interest
amongst our customers has been considerable and we use it extensively in
our teaching to great effect. It represents a sound investment and I know
that it’ll add value to my professionals and our pupils.”
Colin Jenkins, PGA Professional
& Proprietor Staplehurst Golf Centre, Kent, England
“Most teaching aids have only one
use. The Explanar has a multitude of applications. I’m not aware of any
other teaching aid that caters for such a wide spectrum of golfer. In my
view its biggest strength is its diversity. It works simply and quickly”
Claude Harmon III, Professional,
Kings Acre Golf Course & Academy, Edinburgh, Scotland
“The Explanar has enhanced the total
tutorial offering for my pupils, making the teaching and learning of golf
more pleasurable.”
Nick McNally, PGA Professional,
Marriott Tudor Park Hotel & Country Club, Kent, England
“There are many established golfers
that have never understood how their hands should work. The Explanar enables
them to understand through feel how their hands work. I’ve found the Explanar
particularly useful in helping teach the down swing. The weighted roller
helps eliminate ‘casting’.”
Brian Patterson, PGA Professional,
Rosapenna Hotel Golf Links, County Donegal, Ireland
“Using the Explanar has enabled me
to help my pupils gain a feeling and greater understanding of the swing
plane.”
Mark Wood, PGA Professional,
Marriott Hollins Hall Hotel & Country Club, Yorkshire, England
“I had Explanar just a week and I’ve
used it at some point in every lesson with excellent results. Most pupils,
even beginners are stepping out and hitting draw-spin. One lady, who’s
struggled with woods, is now hitting them better than ever before, with
a little draw-spin. ‘I’ve never done that before’ were her first words.
It’s amazing. Explanar increases rotation and shoulder turn giving more
power and distance.”
Colin Williams, Head PGA Professional,
Fakenham GC, Norfolk, England.
Well I finally got to use the Explanar
in Phoenix. It truly helped my students but, I could not believe how well
it worked for me. I have played 3 times in the last 4 months. I used the
explanar to warm up with for 5 min. I played one of the best rounds of
golf I've played in the last 5 years. All the things I've been working
on in my golf swing fell into place.
