In 1891 Swiss knife maker, Karl Elsener, was dismayed at the fact that the knives issued to his national army were made in Germany and not his native Switzerland.  So he set about to change that.  After little more than five years of struggling to develop a spring mechanism, Elsener finally triumphed and the “Swiss Army Knife” was born.

As we all know, the value in the Swiss Army Knife is in its versatility and durability.  If we have some precision cutting to do we don’t take out our Swiss Army Knife to do the job.  It is the Jack of all trades and master of none.

The golf world is about to be introduced to its version of this versatile tool.  Its called the Swinkey and its manufactured and assembled entirely in Canada by founder and inventor, Brian Benedictson and his team of two.  Brian’s vision came to him while playing on the Canadian Tour, where he realized there was a need for a golf tool that could do it all.  After a year or more of tinkering with partners Leigh Tate and Todd Halpen, they have a product that is quite polished and ready to go.

Under the Hood

The Swinkey is a multi-functioning golf tool like our friend the Swiss Army Knife.  There are literally too many applications to mention here but they can be separated in to 5 parts:  club protector, putting system, fitness pole, adjustable weight warm-up club, and a complete golf set-up system. With in each of these categories there are several more.  To watch Brian go through each one, you can go to their website at www.swinkeygolf.com Here’s with an overview…

Why it’s Remarkable

It’s easy to set up, versatile, and convenient.

The first thing you notice about the Swinkey is how organized the product is.  When you screw the cap off,  the 2 alignment poles and the 2 spikes are neatly displayed and accessible.  When you delve into it, you also realize that it is really easy to use and can always be set up quickly.  None of the applications should take you more than about 10 seconds.  The Swinkey’s reasonable price also allows you have all the necessary tools without having to purchase all of them.  At the moment the Swinkey sells for $149.

There are a lot of alignment tools, stretching devices, and putting aids that come out each year and many of them are quality products.  However, none of them can match the unbelievable versatility and value of this product and that is why it will become a must buy for serious golfers.
