A square clubface at impact is the single most important factor for hitting straight, consistent golf shots, and the Square Set golf trainer is designed to help you master that feeling. This guide will walk you through the fundamental movements and positions the trainer ingrains, transforming not just how you hold the club, but how you swing it from start to finish. We’ll cover everything from the all-important grip and setup to the sequence of a powerful, balanced swing.
Before we build the swing, let's understand the tool. A Square Set trainer is a simple yet powerful training aid that molds onto your club's grip. Its purpose is to guide your hands into a perfectly neutral and "square" position, teaching you what a tour-level grip actually feels like. Many golfers struggle with a slice (the ball curving to the right for a right-hander) or a hook (curving to the left), and more often than not, the root cause is a faulty grip that leaves the clubface open or closed at impact.
The trainer helps eliminate that guesswork. By repeatedly placing your hands in the correct position, you build muscle memory. Over time, that "weird" feeling of a proper grip starts to feel normal and athletic. Think of it as the foundation of your house. When the foundation is solid and square, the rest of the structure is much easier to build correctly. This guide will show you how to build the rest of that house, using the principles the Square Set reinforces.
The golf swing starts before you even move the club. Your grip is your only connection to the club, acting as the steering wheel for your shots. Meanwhile, your setup creates the posture that allows your body to rotate powerfully and consistently. The Square Set trainer locks in the first part, which makes the second part much easier to achieve.
Your hold has a massive influence on where the clubface points. Get it right, and you're halfway to a straight shot. Get it wrong, and you'll spend your entire swing trying to make compensations. This is what the Square Set specifically fixes. Here’s the neutral position it teaches:
For your top hand (left hand for right-handed golfers):
For your bottom hand (right hand for right-handed golfers):
A disclaimer: If you're used to a different grip, this new position will feel bizarre. That's normal. Trust the process. The Square Set is designed to make this strange feeling repeatable until it becomes second nature.
With a perfect grip locked in, your setup can fall into place. A good setup promotes balance and creates the space needed for your body to rotate. Many amateurs stand too upright, which restricts their turn and forces them to use only their arms.
Once your grip and setup are solid, the swing itself becomes a rotational motion. The Square Set trainer’s job is done at address, but its principles carry through the entire swing. Your goal now is to return that square clubface to the ball at impact by using your body as the engine.
Many golfers make the mistake of picking the club up with their hands and arms. A good backswing is a synchronized turn of your body, which moves the club around you.
This is where it all comes together. The downswing is not a reversal of the backswing, it's a specific sequence designed to deliver speed and a square clubface to the ball.
The swing isn't over at impact. A good follow-through is a sign that you used your body correctly and didn't hold anything back.
Using the Square Set golf trainer is about embedding the fundamental feeling of a square clubface and correct hand pressure deep into your muscle memory. It simplifies the toughest part of the golf swing - the grip - so you can focus on building a powerful, consistent, and repeatable motion with your body, from your athletic setup all the way to a balanced finish.
