Each pod is numbered 1 through 8 on their sides, which is used to "dial in" the setting you would like to stand on and/or hit from. These numbers have been created to utilize Fatt Matt Golf's training system made up of hundreds of combinations to practice uphill lies, downhill lies, ball above and ball below your feet. The settings also help correct bad swing habits such as hooking and slicing the ball. Additional combinations will adjust the way a golfer moves and help eliminate thin, fat and off-centered strikes on the club face. When using the Real Lies Trainer, the golfer becomes aware of how the lie angle of the pod will affect the flight patterns of the ball.
