Whether you’re driving, chipping, or putting the golf ball, every shot on the course depends on a very important yet often overlooked element: the stability of your lower body. The Anchor, a unique golf swing training aid, addresses this critical aspect of your swing by keeping the flexion of your back knee in a stable position throughout the entire golf swing.

1. The Anchor
®
GOlf SWING StabIlIzer
Thank you for your purchase of The Anchor®, golf swing stabilizer. The Anchor is a
patented golf swing stabilizer to establish and maintain the proper back leg position
during every shot. Used on the range and during on course training, this simple easy to
apply swing stabilizer will help develop a more consistent and powerful swing. There are
hundreds of golf articles and textbooks that clearly support the importance of maintaining
the back knee flex throughout the golf swing as a key swing fundamental. Imagine a
swing with less hip movement, more consistent slot location and more club head speed!
What swing faults are the Anchor® designed to address?
Maintaining knee flex helps avoid many fundamental errors such as swaying, “coming up
out of the swing”, “over-swinging”, and the dreaded “reverse pivot” fault. The Anchor helps
restrict your hip turn, put the club on proper swing plane and minimize the “over the top”
maneuver. A fully descriptive video of this core concept is available on our website at www.
perseusathletics.com.
On which leg should The Anchor be worn?
We recommend putting the brace on the “back” or away from the target leg. For example,
if you were a right-handed golfer, it would be on the right leg, and if you were a left-
handed golfer, it would be on the left leg. This golf training aid is not designed for hitting
golf balls with full swings on the up target leg.
Should I wear the golf brace over or under my pants?
The Anchor should be applied directly to the skin and underneath your shorts. If wearing
long or ¾ pants, it is important that while putting The Anchor on to pull the pants tight
towards your ankle before you apply the stabilizer to minimize the amount of clothing
material underneath the training aid. It is important that this stabilizer be applied in a
very secure fashion to optimize the stabilizing performance.
Despite ordering the correct size, the brace still does not seem to secure
my leg appropriately.
It is absolutely imperative that the straps are very snug. Frequent tugging on the straps to
ensure secure fit will optimize the performance of The Anchor. Keeping The Anchor snug
by consistently pulling on the straps on a regular basis will help the golfer achieve the
maximum benefit from this swing stabilizer.
Is The Anchor a sports brace?
The Anchor design is for golf training only and is not recommended for sports bracing
and treatment of injuries and using this swing stabilizer for any other reason than
golf training is not recommended. If you are under medical care or have any known
musculoskeletal malady associated with your knee, it is advisable that you obtain
clearance to use The Anchor with your treating physician.

2. How do I lock The Anchor when I have found the optimal knee flexion angle?
The hinge design is unique and allows for a simple turning of the tabs on the hinge to the “red”
locked position. Be sure to lock the hinge on both sides of the stabilizer. Now, gently squat just
a few degrees to allow the pins to set in the stabilizer, you will hear the locking pins engage.
After using the training aid for just a few minutes, you will become very familiar with the locking
mechanism. Please visit www.Perseusathletics.com to view product informational video.
How do I unlock the brace?
Unlocking The Anchor also takes a little practice. Depress both buttons at the same time and
rotate to the green position to release the pins. Occasionally, your knee position will create
torque on the pins and you will need to flex the knee up or down a few degrees to release
the pressure. Once you have depressed the buttons rotate them to the green position to free
the hinges. Be sure this is done on both sides of the knee. Often this exercise will require two
hands. You are now able to walk to another practice position or to your next shot. Remember, in
order for The Anchor to provide appropriate stabilization it must be very tight. After a change of
position, we recommended you pull all four straps tight before you re-engage the locking pins.
I have noticed there are four letters on the hinge to secure The Anchor in different
degrees of flexion; A, B, C, D. Which one should I use when hitting golf balls?
This requires experimentation, but in general, the longer the club, the lower the setting. For
instance, a driver would typically require the A setting, while moving towards sand or flop
shots, the B or C settings would be required. In extreme and unusual uneven terrain shots,
the D position may be helpful. There is no wrong or right answer and knee flexion posture
can vary. A properly trained professional golf teacher may find the suitable position for you
with variable shots.
Can I use The Anchor for all kinds of shots?
Maintaining your posture and staying stable is critical throughout any golf shot, regardless if
you are hitting a driver or putting. In fact, losing your posture or swaying while putting is one of
the most common faults in putting and the short game. Tour players recognize this as a major
swing flaw not only in the full swing, but in putting and chipping as well. At Perseus Athletics,
we designed The Anchor to help train your swing to be more stable, compact and consistent.
Practice with The Anchor will help deliver more consistency resulting in fewer misses, more
distance and more fun on the course. Posture and knee flex are the two most commonly
quoted issues by golf professionals. The Anchor will help you achieve these optimal core
positions and develop a better swing.
