The best aid is 'Deano's pencil' especially the rubber on the end for altering scores after a round.....

That's a great way to lower one's handicap. 😂

Just started to use a thin elastic string tied between two tees. From this you can set an aim line for putting. One aid I missed from the rating was a soft ball on a string around your neck to place in between your arms. I’ve seen many pros use this in practice

@kenohanrahan4745 Жыл бұрын

Here's one for putting, get a 1m metal rule at your local hardware. If you can putt the ball on it from one end to the other, you've got the perfect test of path and face direction. Plus, you can use it for drawing straight lines!

My favorite training aid is the power swing fan and superspeed golf speed sticks. I’m a former D1 golf strength coach and TPI certified. 100% have to be regimental with them.

1 i liked (out of the 100's i received for birthdays and xmas 🙄) was the moulded grip that showed where to place your hands...not that everyone has or needs a perfect grip but if you hold it and your hands are way off you probably need work on your grip.....i think i got it for about £9.....that and a few alignment sticks and a can of cheap dry hair shampoo and you might be the next Tiger

Love my puttout!! What do you think of training grips which are formed to teach the proper grip?

@robertgray1756 Жыл бұрын

I can think of a few more or alternatives. Acustrike golf mat. Old Duvet up against a hedge rather than net...it will also show you the spot where the ball hit. One square of toilet tissue....lay it down in a carpeted room or hallway and putt the ball from any distance and aim for the ball to stop on the tissue.

I still carry the Medicus in the bag. Great as a warm up that gives instant feedback for multiple swing flaws. Pretty old but really works.

What about those clubs with the rubber/super soft shaft where to try and help tempo/stop rushing early in the swing?

I'd say don't buy any of it and save a few grand for a DIY simulator. The hundreds/thousands of hours of fun/practice/exercise you'll get is worth it. Finding the space is probably the hardest part.

I've got the DST 8 Iron. I really like it and would say it's worth it. I also went for a lesson and the guy said it was an awesome tool, suggested the wedge version. It's great at showing you where your hands should be at impact and really "connects" the swing.

Looking into these cause I stated golf 9 months ago n came along ways I fixed a bad slice to hitting 275 straight but my irons n flop shots need work n winters coming so I need a training aid to get me through 3 months of winter.

@braga786 Жыл бұрын

I think the mirror is on the wrong place... It should be at least on good side or even on great... It helped me a lots. Even Cameron Smith use it e very time during warm up before the game.but that swing speed trainers really should go to ok. Otherwise all other is fine 😁👌

How is the net in the really section? Since getting one and practicing more at home, my HC has dropped from 18 to 6.

@WilsoTron Жыл бұрын

Simons reasoning was due to net durability and likleyhood of breaking things with a mistruck ball. I use 'almost' balls with a cheap net to solve that problem. Love getting daily practice in at home in the garden instead of going to the range. The money i saved on range balls is slowly paying for my launch monitor. Happy days

How about the orange whip (or cheaper skilz version). I've found it a useful warm up aid and the moulded grip has helped eliminate pain in the joint of my left thumb by encouraging both hands to a slightly stronger grip.
