The TRX Bandit is a game changer when it comes to stretching.

If fitness is your thing, you’ve probably seen or even used TRX suspension exercise machines. The brand’s line of products is used almost everywhere in gyms and offers the user the opportunity to do a full-body workout at their own pace and with their own body weight.
But the latest innovation from TRX may be the best yet – and it’s especially useful for golfers. The TRX Bandit – a universally fitting grip that attaches to strength bands for greater comfort, control, and performance – not only enhances the strength training experience by providing a grip with a better grip, but is also a turning point in stretching.

The TRX Bandit is super portable and the lightweight resistance band fits easily into a standard golf bag. Instead of your usual warm-up routine of arm windmills, washing machine rotations, and hamstring pulls, grab the bandit and loop the resistance band of your choice around a stationary object like a golf cart (or stand on it yourself) and enjoy extended, deep resistance stretching where your body needs it most.
While you could just use a resistance band on its own, the Bandit is great because it eliminates the pinching, rubbing, and pulling normally associated with rubber band exercises. And in conjunction with the TRX app, you can also take part in live courses and on-demand workouts – including the “TRX for Golf” series.
The best part? If you are unsure whether the Bandit will fit properly, you can access the TRX app content for free for seven days by clicking here.
