Most golf training aids end up in the garage next to the ab roller and the juicer. You use them twice, feel mildly optimistic, and then never think about them again. The GravityFit TPro is different and I say that as someone who has been burned by a closet full of swing gadgets that promised to fix my over-the-top move and delivered approximately nothing.
Most golf training aids end up in the garage next to the ab roller and the juicer. You use them twice, feel mildly optimistic, and then never think about them again. The GravityFit TPro is different and I say that as someone who has been burned by a closet full of swing gadgets that promised to fix my over-the-top move and delivered approximately nothing.
The TPro is not a gimmick. It is a serious piece of equipment built on serious science, and golfers from your local muni to the PGA Tour are using it to get better.
Let me explain what it actually is.
What Is the GravityFit TPro?
The TPro looks a little odd the first time you see it. It is a wearable backboard – the company calls it a “Back Bow” – that sits across your upper back and shoulder blades. Resistance bands attach to the device and run under your arms. You wear it, swing with it, and do exercises while wearing it.
The science behind it comes from Dr. Carolyn Richardson, a University of Queensland professor of physiotherapy and one of the researchers who introduced the concept of core stability to the field. GravityFit has developed exercise and rehabilitation tools based on over 30 years of research – research that has been validated in NASA-sponsored studies. That is not marketing copy. That is an actual credential.
The Back Bow has soft inward-facing spikes at its center. The gentle spikes give you sensory feedback to help you feel good posture – your ideal position is when you maintain equal pressure across the spikes and the two side paddles across your spine and scapula. When you lose your posture at address or during the swing, the device tells your body immediately. No instructor needed in that moment.
How It Works for Golf
The TPro serves two distinct purposes, and it handles both well.
The first is posture and setup. The challenge for the amateur golfer is that improving posture is difficult without a coach standing behind you on the range every session. The TPro solves that problem by providing clear, immediate feedback on your setup — and you can use it at home, at the range, or anywhere else you can take a swing.
The second is swing training. The resistance bands create just enough tension to develop what the company calls arm-body connection, the feeling of your arms and torso working as one unit rather than your arms running away from your body on the takeaway. For golfers who throw the club outside on the way back (raises hand), this is genuinely useful feedback that translates to better ball striking.
The bands are swappable, which is one of the smarter design decisions in the product. Yellow bands are lighter and intended for use when you are hitting actual shots or doing swing drills with a club in hand. Green bands are heavier and designed for fitness exercises and building shoulder and spinal stability. The practical routine most golfers settle into is simple – green bands for your morning exercises, yellow bands when you head to the range. There is also a red band for juniors and smaller-framed golfers.
Who Uses It?
The TPro has been adopted by over 30 PGA Tour professionals and coaches, including Cameron Smith, Jonas Blixt, and Harris English. Smith, who won The Open Championship and The Players Championship in 2022, has said the device guides him into the right positions and allows him to simply repeat the movements he wants to make. When the reigning Players champ is doing drills with a piece of equipment, that carries some weight.
It works equally well as a pre-round warmup. It activates the right muscles while making you aware of what your body is actually doing — and because it is lightweight and portable, you can use it anywhere.
What It Will Not Do
Be honest with yourself before you buy this. The TPro will not fix your posture in one session. This is exercise – you need discipline and patience to see real results. The focus is on movement quality and awareness, not grinding reps until something breaks. If you are not committed to the work, no training aid is going to save you, including this one.
You also get more out of it with some professional guidance. The company has a solid library of online video instruction, but if you can pair it with a teaching pro who understands the tool, you will see faster results.
Pricing and What to Buy
The TPro starts at $109.95 for a single band unit. The Swing Kit at $154.95 gives you both the yellow and green bands, which is the smarter buy for most golfers. The Super Kit at $194.95 adds the red band and works well for coaches or golfing families with juniors in the mix.

Bottom Line
The GravityFit TPro is the rare training aid that delivers on what it promises. The science is legitimate, the feedback is immediate, and Tour players across the world have incorporated it into their routines. If you have struggled with posture, arm-body connection, or just finding a consistent swing feeling, this is worth your time and money – assuming you are willing to actually put in the reps.
