How to Use the RU Late?
Open the little door and connect the 9-volt battery. Replace the door.
Flip the switch up (toward the logo figure's head).
Test that it is operational by squeezing the foot switch in the
sling and then tapping the box lightly. It should emit the buzz sound.
See the product photos. The elastic sling is worn under your back
foot heel. The lump in the middle of the sling is the foot
switch. It should be under your heel. The sling hooks extend up to
the sides of your shoe. The control box should be on the inside of
your back foot shoe. The switch and the microphone should point
approximately toward the ball.
When you are finished with your RUlate workout, flip the switch off.
A new 9-Volt battery should last for several hours of use. If you
notice that the buzz does not occur as loud or the sensitivity to
sound has deteriorated, the battery may need replacement.
If you strike the ball with the heel switch depressed, you hear the buzz signaling that you were "late."
If you strike the ball with your heel lifted, having correctly shifted your weight to your front leg and turned your hips toward the target before impact, there is no buzz sound.
As you hit balls, strive to start your weight shift to the front leg earlier in your motion. The weight shift to the front leg should start during your backswing.
As you reach the top of your backswing, your weight should be almost fully shifted, your hips having turned toward the target and your back foot heel lifted.
If you hear the buzzer when you strike the ball, work to shift your weight earlier and more aggressively. The hip turn toward the target is the source of power and accuracy.
Look at the pictures of champion golfers. Notice that they are posted on their front leg, their hips turned toward the target, and their back heels lifted at impact. Earlier is better!
The transition weight shift occurs as the golfer finishes the backswing and begins the downswing. As he reaches the top of his backswing, his next move should be a lateral slide of the weight to his front foot-while his shoulders are still turned back. The transition weight shift toward the target "engages" his front hip joint, preparing it to support the downswing pivot and finish.
After making the transition weight shift, the golfer swings by pivoting his upper body around his stabilized front leg, his "post." Since the downswing pivots around his front hip joint, the clubhead approaches the ball from inside the target line and impacts the ball traveling toward the target. It imparts little or no side-spin and the ball goes straight."
