Attach the words "golf aid" to a common item, and it'll sell for 500% more. Call a driveway marker an "alignment stick" and the price goes from $2.50 to $15.

@davidR9410 7 ай бұрын

They make an alignment stick disc thing that holds sticks at various angles for your swing plane, for $80. Or…you could get a chunk of wood and drill holes in it at various angles for almost $nothing. Golf training aids are ridiculous.

@stratovani 7 ай бұрын

Once I was at Walmart checking out their golf stuff. They sold Callaway alignment sticks for $14.95. I then went over to their hardware section and they sold two driveway markers for $3.95. I bought them right away. They work perfectly well as alignment sticks, and the money is in my pocket, not Callaway's.

@BobzUrUncle-te6dj 4 ай бұрын

I've only bought a couple of training aids over the years and neither were mentioned here. My fave swing aid is the Medicus (5 iron) club. Its really good for ensuring a good tempo thru the swing and the club gives great feedback when your takeaway is too fast or your follow thru/release is incorrect. I usually swing it for 5 minutes prior to every round. Good value as Ive had it for almost 20 years. The other one I have is a Momentus "Heavy" club. Its great for correcting tempo AND really helps loosen up any stiffness you might have prior to a round, especially for senior golfers. I was kinda surprised you didnt mention them, but hey there are likely thousands more "swing trainers" out there. Great video!!

The one aid you didn’t show that I’ve used for years is the weighted swing trainer that starts with a S and ends with a Z (rhymes with skills). Short weighted stick with a training grip, and you can change the weight at the end. It’s great for small apartments with limited room as I can full swing beside my couch. And I pick it up every time I watch a training video to practice a drill. And it’s cheap! Only 40 bucks.

I know it’s impossible to show every training aid, however I would love for you to get hold of and do a review of the GEM. Stands for Golf Essential Move from a Scottish PGA pro. It’s designed to set the club and teaches correct release.

@billyfromla1117 6 ай бұрын

I could not swing the GEM without a wobble, trying everything I could imagine, felt duped. Recently came across Intelligent Golf Performance video titled ,” Backswing and Impact fix/ a training aid you need.” After seeing this, it reminded of the gem and sure enough, I could swing it without a wobble. Now, I’m left with two questions; 1. Will this help my golf? 2. Did I need the Gem or could I have gotten the motion with the setup the Intelligent Golf guy had?

I love these types of videos and it’s amazing that you went through the effort of collecting them all, testing each one, and providing your feedback. The challenge with these videos however is that most people that “test” them, similar to you, well, they have a great swing. I don’t feel you can test a fix for something you don’t have broken. You can’t test a slice fixer tool if you don’t have a slice. And trying to replicate a slice is no where near to a person that has a slice that is trying their @$$ off to not slice. These product reviews would be better if you brought in people with issues and have them see if it really “fixes” them. Just a thought.

The only training aid worth anything is a good teacher & they can be hard to find for amateurs. I've been through 3 over the years & 2 of them taught me nothing I didn't already know. I've actually learned much more on KZfaq over the past year that I could probably give lessons. After watching many of these videos, I've learned why I'm making the mistakes I've been making for years & how to fix them absolutely free of charge so I really should thank the people who provide all of this information nearly on a daily basis. So, thanks to all for giving their time & effort to help us reach our goals.

Training aids are helpful, but you should only look at the one's you see pros using. They play for money and are trying to gain any possible advantage they can. I use the hangar and the DST Compressor. You can score the hanger for a lot cheaper than he showed. I did. It's also useful for a bit more than advertised,it'sgreat for working on wrist conditions. I like it for short game practice too. One not listed is the tour striker ball. I use one of my kids play balls. Great concept for feeling proper right arm motion and staying connected. The DST is a game changer. It can be had second hand for quite a bit less too.

Your best advice comment was "Simple is best". Some of these "training aids" are so cumbersome and complicated that they're not worth the time (or money) to set up and use enough to make any difference or worthwhile. Many of them can be duplicated at home for free with using simple items you find around the house. The ones I like the best are ones that can also be multi purpose, such as the green ball and the chuck stick. The ball can be used between the arms and also used to check your downswing motion by throwing it at your feet. Same thing with the chuck stick. If you stoop using it, you can get a dog to play with! 😅

The one training aid I've used and liked isn't on your list. It's Greg Norman's Secret, a special glove that fits your trailing hand (right hand for most of us). About $28 bucks, available online in various places. It trains the trailing hand (specifically the thumb) to keep in a certain position throughout the swing, promoting the proper release with that hand. It works to stop wrist flipping in the down swing, promoting the trailing hand to do the proper crossover AFTER impact. It fixed my right hand action within a week of working with it. A bit uncomfortable until one gets used to it.

Some of these products are made by small companies who only have one or two products - the price may seem high when just considering the material costs, but when factoring in the r&d etc. I would doubt that there is as much margin left in as you may suspect.
