When used in an indoor setting, The Explanar occupies the following space:
Height (8 feet/2.44m); Width (13 feet/4m); Depth (5ft/1.5m).

When stored in its packaging, The Explanar occupies the following space:
Height (7 feet/2.4m); Width (5ft/1.5m); Depth (16 inches/0.6m)

The Explanar comes with wheels for easy manoeuvrability. However, we recommend that this is always done by two people.

Always detach the steel Plane Fin and calibrator strut before folding and take care not to lose the bungee cord that holds the Plane Fin in place when in storage. If the Explanar is wet, wipe it with a cloth to hand dry prior to storage.

While The Explanar can be used both indoors and outdoors, its steel construction means it is not fully weatherproof. Therefore, it is not suitable for outside storage, especially in coastal areas. Leaving it outside for an extended period of time will accelerate the ageing process.

The Explanar is made up of five key components – the adjustable Hoop, the Power Roller, the Plane Fin, the Radial Stance Mat, and the Plane Sensor. The combination of these five elements will develop your golf swing. With only 10 minutes practice on the Explanar each day, you will see a dramatic improvement in your swing, flexibility and fitness.

The adjustable hoop allows you to position the golf training aid to the angle of your optimum swing plane. Since each golfer’s optimum swing plane is unique, adjustable hoop caters for these physical differences as well as for different length clubs.

The Power Roller is heavier than a normal golf club. The additional weight accelerates the muscle memory associated with swinging on your optimum plane. It also enhances fitness and flexibility by strengthening your arm and back muscles as well as increasing your core stability to help you develop a more dynamic and athletic golf swing.

The Plane Fin is unique to The Explanar and is a key differentiator from other swing hoops. Situated on the top of the Explanar Hoop, it acts as an indicator as to whether you are swinging on your optimum biomechanical swing plane.

The curved markings on the mat allow you to adjust your stance and distance from the adjustable hoop. By adjusting your address position within The Explanar you will be able to vary your swing movement to hit shots of different shape and trajectory.

The Plane Sensor allows you to set the adjustable hoop to the correct angle of your optimum golf swing plane based on your height and club length. When the hoop is set at the correct angle, the Plane Sensor should intersect with your sternum.

The Explanar is suitable for right- and left-handed golfers of all ages and abilities, from beginners to successful Tour Professionals.

Your swing path and club face control will improve immediately and a neutral draw shot will start to replace your slice.

Yes. The Explanar fixes a hook quickly. A hook is less common than a slice but is often more destructive!

By using the Radial Stance Mat to alter your swing path, and by ensuring that the Power Roller is held off across the Plane Fin in the follow-through, the hook will transform into a neutral draw or controlled fade shot.

Yes. The Explanar will stop you topping the ball and help deliver a high, soft landing flight instead.

Most golfers mistakenly think that a topped shot is caused by lifting their head, however it is mainly due to poor wrist action during the swing.

By using the short Power Roller with an upright setting of the hoop, the wrists will regain their movement and the ball will fly higher, straighter and further.

Yes. The founding ethos of The Explanar is to teach golfers how to hit shots properly first, safe in the knowledge that a sound golf swing will follow!

The Explanar will teach you to control the trajectory of the ball as well as to intentionally shape your shots with fade and draw spin.

The more advanced golfer will also be able to use The Explanar to hit high and low shots with fade and draw spin.

No. The Explanar is teacher neutral. Its inventor, Luther Blacklock, designed the The Explanar to suit all physiques, abilities and methods.
