Summary

Jimmy Hack Golf has recalled approximately 6,100 Orange Whip golf swing trainers (Models OWT and OWM) because the weighted orange ball can detach during use. The firm has received 36 reports of the ball detaching, which creates a significant hazard for both the user and bystanders. These products were sold nationwide at stores like Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy between November 2017 and February 2018 for about $110. Consumers should immediately stop using these trainers and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.

Risk

The weighted orange ball can fly off the flexible shaft while the trainer is being swung, posing a risk of impact injuries to the user or anyone standing nearby. While no injuries have been reported yet, 36 incidents of the ball detaching have been recorded.

  2. Check the model of your trainer: Model OWT is the full-size version (47 inches) and Model OWM is the mid-size version (43 inches).
