The Explanar is a revolutionary new development in golf instruction designed by European PGA Professional Luther Blacklock. It is the complete golf training system based around the fundamental principles of the swing plane and the biomechanics of the body, promoting the ideal movements required for the golf swing. The Explanar turns golf swing theory into feelings, allowing the golfer to focus on executing the shot more effectively. The Explanar is suitable for golfers of all levels and works equally well for both left and right-handers between 5ft and 6ft 6 inches tall.
The Explanar teaches the golf swing by turning your swing thoughts into feelings, in the same way that stabilizers / training wheels on a bicycle offer guidance during the process of learning to ride. We all learn quicker by experiencing an action rather than through the spoken or written word. Once you have learned the basic skill of balance, improving your technique becomes easier.
To train on the Explanar effectively you need the basics of a good grip and posture. Used in conjunction with the weighted Power Roller™, the Explanar is set to your correct angle in order that you can feel your best and most powerful swing on your optimum swing plane.
The Explanar is also an ideal golf fitness machine. The Explanar hoop is used in conjunction with a weighted Power Roller. You step inside the Explanar rest the Power Roller on the hoop, and take your grip and stance in the center of the Explanar with the Power Roller in the central ball position. The Explanar is then adjusted to the correct angle in order for you to swing the Power Roller on your optimum biomechanical swing plane.
The Explanar hoop is easily set to each individual's optimum biomechanical swing plane using the calibrated struts. A full explanation is demonstrated on the DVD.
The Power Roller™ trains/retrains and builds the golfing muscles, creating a more dynamic and athletic swing.
The Plane Fin™ is an essential reference point. It will act as an indicator as to whether or not you are swinging on your optimum plane.
The Radial Stance Mat™ is an industry first and enables you to practice intentional draw and fade shots.
Weekly training on the Explanar will help improve balance and develop a consistent tempo, fast-tracking you into playing better golf.

The Explanar is used enthusiastically by qualified golf professionals across the world. Explanar is a “teaching agnostic” tool, designed to enable all teaching professionals to more easily communicate, through feel, what it is that they want their students to achieve.
On paper and screen Explanar would appear to teach constant plane. This is NOT the case. Because the Power Roller slides, rolls and slips the Explanar allows a mild “figure eight” swing, resulting is a backswing which can be wide and slightly above plane, to a downswing which shallows the plane ensuring a greater chance of a squarer club face at impact and down the target line. The golfer can then release his / her forearms and hinge the wrists upward to stay in plane. The golfer can also “hit and hold” limiting forearm rotation through the shot, like 6 times major winner Nick Faldo and other “faders” like the great Lee Trevino.

How Practicing with the Explanar Can Benefit Your Game
Improved Understanding
Any golfer knows that taking your swing from the practice ground to the golf course is rarely easy. This is because knowledge, however well imparted, often leads to mental confusion, which in turn restricts the body from performing effectively.
Greater Consistency
The weight of the Power Roller plays a critical part in training and retraining the swing and eradicating ingrained faults in established players.
Practice on the range doesn’t guarantee a repeatable swing. As John Wooden said “Practice doesn’t make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect.”
Regular use of Explanar rapidly transforms a motion resulting in a more repetitive and therefore consistent swing. This builds confidence and helps lower scores.
Fitness through Specificity
Regular training on Explanar targets the muscles specifically used in the golf swing.
By using Explanar for just ten minutes a day you’ll experience a dramatic improvement in your core stability and an increased level of rotation. Your forearms and legs will also feel the benefit of the Power Roller™ as your muscles are gently extended and developed.
You should see a positive change in your physical appearance over time and as you progress you can switch to the “fitness” Power Roller.
