GravityFit TPro Review: $155 Desk Slouch Fix
I have terrible posture. Eight hours at a desk, shoulders rolled forward, head jutting toward the screen like a turtle looking for lettuce. It takes me three holes to feel like I’m standing tall over the ball, and by the back nine I’m back to slumping.
I’ve tried the generic fixes: resistance bands, foam rollers, the posture app my wife sent me. None of it stuck because none of it told me what wrong posture actually felt like during a swing.
Then I heard about GravityFit. Cam Smith uses it. Tommy Fleetwood uses it. The company has sold nearly 50,000 units across 75 countries and their product is backed by 30 years of research in core stability. At $155 for the base kit, it’s not a cheap experiment. But I wanted to know: does strapping a resistance band to your back actually translate to better golf?
What the GravityFit TPro Is
The TPro is a posture training system with three parts. There’s a plastic back brace called the BackBow that sits between your shoulder blades. There are Theraband resistance bands (yellow for light, green for heavy). And there are stacker blocks that let you adjust where the bands attach.
You clip the bands to the BackBow, put it on like a backpack, grab the handles, and the resistance pulls your shoulders back into proper spinal alignment. It feels like someone is gently pulling your shoulder blades together. That’s the whole magic.
The Swing Kit 2.0 ($154.95 direct from GravityFit) comes with both yellow and green bands plus the BackBow and blocks. The Super Kit ($194.95 on Amazon) throws in a red band for juniors or smaller frames. Golfer Geeks has a 10% off code if you buy direct.
There’s no app, no subscription, and no Bluetooth. Just a piece of plastic and some resistance tubing. The free training videos live on GravityFit’s YouTube channel, divided into a beginner playlist and advanced drills from Grant Field, Cam Smith’s coach.
How It Works in Practice
The yellow band is for skill work. You wear it while hitting balls, chipping, or putting. The resistance is light enough that you can swing a club but strong enough that your body notices when your posture breaks down. It’s constant sensory feedback.
The green band is for strength. You wear it for slow, deliberate pivot drills without a club. Ten reps into your backswing, ten from setup to follow-through, then ten combining both. The green band also works as a desk accessory. The Golfer Geeks reviewer wore his while typing this review.
I started with the green band for five minutes every morning in my garage. Then I moved to chipping with the yellow band. Then full swings.
The first thing I noticed: I had no idea what good posture felt like. My “neutral” spine was still too rounded. The BackBow made it obvious. When my shoulders rounded forward, the resistance increased. When I stood tall, the tension eased. For the first time, I could feel what my spine was supposed to do during a swing.
The second thing: good posture makes everything else easier. Rotation felt more natural. My arms had room to swing. My shoulder turn went from about 85 degrees to close to 90. Not huge, but it came without thinking about it.
What Worked
The chipping results surprised me the most. The Golfer Geeks reviewer called the TPro “absolutely killer for the short game” and he’s right. With the yellow band forcing my shoulders back, my contact got cleaner and I stopped blading wedges across the green.
Wearing it as a warm-up before rounds made a real difference. Five minutes with the green band in the parking lot, and I walked to the first tee with my shoulders actually set. Didn’t last all 18 holes, but it lasted longer than the three holes I was getting before.
At my desk, the green band is genuinely useful. Twenty minutes while answering emails resets eight hours of slouching. My wife made fun of me the first time. She tried it. She gets it now.
What Didn’t
The green resistance band is genuinely hard to unclip from the BackBow. You will pinch your fingers. Multiple reviewers mentioned this. The yellow band pops off fine.
The training videos are good but scattered. There’s a beginner playlist and an advanced playlist and neither tells you what to do on day one versus day thirty. GolfForever gives you a personalized daily workout based on a fitness assessment. The TPro gives you a YouTube channel and a “good luck.”
This is not a quick fix. The PluggedInGolf reviewer nailed it: “This is not about going hard or fast. It’s about movement quality and awareness.” If you’re the kind of golfer who buys a training aid and uses it twice, save your money. This works better with a coach who can interpret the feedback for your specific swing.
Shipping has been a known issue. The GravityFit site itself warns of “current delays shipping all products except Super Kit.” One commenter on PluggedInGolf reported ordering and getting zero communication for ten days.
And yes, at $155 it is objectively an expensive plastic brace with resistance bands you could buy for $15 at any sporting goods store. The BackBow is the difference. Whether that patented piece of plastic is worth $140 extra depends on whether you need someone to tell your spine where it belongs.
GravityFit vs. GolfForever
This is the comparison everyone asks. GolfForever ($199.99 hardware plus $24.99/month for the app) is a complete fitness program. Personalized daily workouts, 500+ video library, programs for warm-up, mobility, power, and injury prevention. Scottie Scheffler is an investor.
GravityFit ($155 one-time) does one thing: posture and core activation. No app. No subscription.
If you want a guided golf fitness system and you’ll pay a subscription for it, get GolfForever. If you want a tool that fixes your posture at address and you’ll use it consistently without being nagged, get GravityFit.
They solve related problems but they’re not the same product. GravityFit fits in a carry bag and you can use it while sitting at your desk.
Who Should Buy It
If you’re a desk worker whose shoulders are permanently rounded forward and you struggle to feel what good setup posture even is, the TPro will help. The feedback is immediate and unmistakable.
If you’re a mid-handicapper (10-20) who battles inconsistency that may be rooted in setup and posture, this is a smart investment. Posture is the foundation of everything else in the swing.
If you’re a single-digit player who already has good posture and a structured fitness routine, you probably don’t need this. You already know what your spine should be doing.
If you’re on a budget, start with alignment sticks and a mirror. But if you’ve tried the free fixes and your posture is still the problem, the TPro earns its price tag.
My Verdict
The TPro is not a miracle. It won’t add 20 yards off the tee or fix your slice on its own. What it does is simpler and more valuable: it teaches you what your body is supposed to feel like at address. For a golfer who has spent years slouching at a desk, that feedback alone is worth $155.
I’m keeping mine. The green band is on my chair as I write this. My shoulders are back, and for once, my back doesn’t hurt.
