Croquet Swing Trainers

Revolutionary training systems for perfect technique

Croquet innovations by Peter Olsen

Transform Your Croquet Game

Traditional wooden swing trainers are bulky and expensive. They are based on two large, shaped sheets of plywood which constrain the mallet head. Their size limits where they can be used. They also provide no feedback on specific swing problems.

Presented here are two new, innovative swing trainer systems that overcome those limitations. They offer cheap, portable and highly effective alternatives that provide instant feedback on swing errors and that can be used virtually anywhere.

Both systems are based on cheap, off-the-shelf components which you buy yourself. The author has no financial interest in either system. The electronic system requires a one-time download of software from this website, which is free.

Choose the system that best fits your training style and preferences. Both deliver professional-level swing improvement at a fraction of the cost of traditional equipment.
