David Leadbetter Swing Link

Has anyone used David Leadbetter's swing link. I have been trying to get one for years (approx 12) here in the UK but they are very difficult to come across. I can remember NicK Faldo using it in his instruction video Nick Faldo's Golf Course Volume 2, with David as his sidekick.

The reason I want this device is to improve the connection between my upper body and my arms. I also know Jimmy Ballard has a similar aid called the "Connector".

Does anyone know of a supplier in the UK? I would purchase one from the US but the postage costs make it prohibitive.

Has anyone tried it? I know it seemed to work for Nick Faldo on the video, what about anybody else.?

Try a wire coat hanger.

have tried them, can't find a swing link in the practice aids.

Thanks anyway

have you tried rolling up a couple of towels and holding them between your arms and your chest ( under your armpits ) , tryto swing without dropping them this will improve linkage

Yes I've tried this. The thing I find with this and also the head cover under the left arm pit drill, is that soemtimes I feels I start tilting or spinning when swinging. My thinking with the swing link is that it combine my upper arm motion with my should turn, so I can give it a real whack! I know with my brother when he was younger and just started playing, I had him hit balls with a waist bet around his shoulders and arms. I am not sure is this would work for me.

I have a David Leadbetter's swing link that I wouldn't mind selling to you. I know your post is quite old, but if you're still interested, maybe we can work something out. I live in the US

Thanks but I have one now
