SKLZ Hinge Trainer (Wrist Hinge Golf Swing Trainer)
A cheap, simple feel aid for wrist hinge practice, thinly documented by owners.
We bought GAIARENA Golf Wrist Brace Wrist Hinge Swing Aid, Training Equipment to Correct Wrist Angle (Right-Handed Golfer). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a low cost wrist hinge training aid from a known sports training brand with a readable maker page, though it clips to the club instead of strapping to the wrist.
The short version
- Beginners who hinge late or inconsistently
- Range practice and slow swing drills
- Golfers who want a cheap feel aid before buying a sensor
- You want data on wrist angle or clubface
- You want a brace that straps to the wrist itself, like the GAIARENA
What owners like
- A generally positive aggregate rating at an Australian golf retailer
- Simple to use, with no batteries or app
Common complaints
- Little detailed owner feedback is published, so long term fit and durability are hard to judge
- Feel based only, with no measurement of wrist angle like sensor trainers
- A wrist trainer roundup rates basic clip on hinge aids as dated and limited compared with sensors
Based on The SKLZ product page, the Golfbox (Australia) retailer listing with its aggregate rating, the SKLZ x Barstool store listing for the co branded version, and a Wicked Smart Golf roundup of wrist trainer types. No independent hands on test of this exact model was found..

What it does
A clip on golf training aid that locks to the club and rests against the lead forearm to set the wrist hinge at the top of the backswing; reviewed here in place of the GAIARENA golf wrist brace, which straps to the wrist instead.
- Sets the wrist hinge early in the backswing for a more on plane swing
- Swing lock lets it move between clubs quickly
- Rubber grip holds against the forearm for immediate feel feedback
- Works for both right and left handed players
- Small enough to carry in most golf bags
A low cost way for a beginner or mid handicap golfer to feel a consistent wrist set at the top of the swing during range sessions. It attaches to the club rather than the wrist, gives simple feel feedback with no data, and published owner feedback on it is limited.

It locks onto the club with a swing lock mechanism, and a rubber pad contacts the forearm.
What does a wrist hinge trainer teach?
