Hit ❤️ if you want me to start Finch On Fashion 😂 Hope you are all staying safe out there people

Those 2 minutes with Matt Fryer and his aides are so much more useful to golfers in search of help than so many quick-fix videos out there. Well done. Love seeing him on your channel, Pete.

Pete, I have a few training aids and the one which has impacted my game the most was the cheapest ! I have a Swingyde like Fryer, an accustrike mat, a putting mirror (love it), a basic putting mat and the best one, a line I use to work on starting my putts online. Dropped at least 4 putts a round on average with starting the ball where I aim it ! Funny, who would have thought it !!

I remember the good old days of you two, plus carter and rick just having games of golf together. They ware class! I get the directions you’ve all gone in and will still continue to follow you all. Well done lads! From rick to his random entertainment, you with you’re down to earth attitude and awesome swing, Carter with his UAE suntan and Matt who i’d happily but a pint for... I thank you all for the many hours I’ve spent on KZfaq and the hours of terrible and fantastic golf entertainment I’ve had (that my golf game has actually benefited for).... I salute you all. 👍

One of my favorite ever training aids was a swing plane trainer made out of PVC pipes at a high school course I played at. Simple, stand in the circle and swing with the club touching the plane. I wish I had one at every driving range.

Must be nice to see a student doing so well. Really enjoying seeing how good your swing is right now.

Been struggling with my irons for a long time & been for couple of lessons with local pro s without any real success.purchased tour strike trainer & initially couldn’t get ball to stay between arms as instructed , once I got the ball staying in place my striking has changed dramatically took a lot of balls hit to get the feeling of connection for me .

I only use one aid generally and that is a big sponge to put under my right heel to help start my hip turn. My local pro put me onto the use of it - put it in place; feel like my heel is crushing the sponge and that helps get my hip turn started. Cheers!

The good old alignment sticks have worked for me. I always slip back into poor alignment habits, which are so easily avoidable 👍🏻 great vid Pete.

I've never bought any training aids really. I'm never sure what's just a gimmick and what will actually work. So now thanks to your vid I know where to start. Great as usual Pete.👍🏻

I just bought the Yupiteru GST - 7 BLE last week (¥13,000/£93). It is a monochrome display, digital Golf Swing Trainer (Japanese language only). It basically sits directly behind the ball (1-1½m) and just measures head and ball speeds in m/s, then calculates the smash factor and gives an estimated distance in yards based on the club you are using. It has Bluetooth capability and there's an app for the phone that shows some colored bar graphs for each club in each of the four measurements. The app also allows you to change the club quickly without touching the device. Two huge things missing are trajectory and ball spin, but it's a fun little gadget and easy to use.

I see the Scotty Cameron putter was working well for you today..... Typically, all of my clubs work that well for me each game...... My best training aid has been an alignment stick. I had terrible trouble hitting the ball straight and my son told me that I was hitting it exactly how I was aiming. The stick puts me straight in the fairway and is a great training aid. Love you and Rick playing together, it's a hoot......

Pete is adorable! Enjoying his videos - keeping golf real.

Best training aid I have ever used, was a lesson from time to time with my Pro...

1:38 My guy out here using a wedge to putt... I can't exactly argue cuz it went in XD

Good point well made. I am a beginner and it is a minefield of training aids and confusing , so I have kept away from them and found a PGA pro that can give specific advice on a personal level. Love the content and channel!!!!

A putting mirror and the planemate are two ones that has benefited me tremendously. I use the planemate every day for a couple of minutes, and it has pretty muched "cured" my flippy release with early extension (caused by an open club face in the downswing).

It may not be how the tour striker was designed but testing a training aid+a mini course vlog has me hooked!!!

Very Funny! Enjoyed it, thanks!

The two training aides that have helped me the most have been yours as well as Rick Shiels’ videos. Thanks for all the help!!

Two best for me have been the Tour Striker iron which is stupid simple, but crazy effective and the Explanar which is one of those ring swing things which is the quickest and best way to get an understanding of swing plane and dramatically changed my iron striking,

I actually had the dredded shanks while chipping and pitching. Watched and learned thru a video that the ball was too close to me. Easy fixed without the cost of buying a training aid

Thanks for the video, I just had a lesson and the flaws I found were my arms taking over and lead arm being bent at setup/before impact. I will definitely be purchasing this training aids.

My best training aids have been boxes of balls for putting gate drills, and an alignment stick on a stool behind me to stop the 'over the top' movement. Both worked great 😀 I did try that ball in the arms thing (tour striker?) during a lesson once, felt strange indeed, but the realisation of where my forearms are before & after impact was instant. Wouldn't use it on the course though, brave man...!

I’m currently using the yellow wrist hinge aim that Matt had really helps me find set my wrists properly instead of cupping and slicing, as always though still having lessons to work on the rest on my swing.

Video taping my own swing has helped so I can go back and see what's going on and hopefully make some fixes and not destroy my game any further.

Funny Pete, just got a lesson from Matt Fryer on skillest and he recommended me try this aid. Been using it for a few weeks. Definitely helps with connectivity in my swing.

commenting until pete comes to play with me: day seven

I don’t typically use training aids, per se, because so many seem gimmicky. One that I’ve been using lately is a weighted swing device with a very flexible shaft. The objective is to increase strength and to help with swing path. It made sense to me. ❤️

I use the Pivot Pro. Helps me make a nice big turn. Easy to use.

Guys the biggest and most important training aid is the alignment stick. Multi use and very adaptable.

Love That golf course. Where’s the sheep. Thanks for the video

A laxer pointer in the grip of the club is amazing for showing you your path / plane.

Does Peter Finch Golf KZfaq videos count as a training aid lol!! Informative as always.

Top draw as usual Pete! Swingyde like Mat, swingclick for tempo and my fav for putting is inside down line putting rail my putting is strongest part of my game according to arccos!

I’ve used the swing guide before which gives quite good feedback for your swing and the momentus swing trainer which is a weighted iron with a moulded correct grip on it which helped immensely and basically just alignment tools which always are important as it’s so easy to play shots offline. 👊

Swingyde is a good aid for hands/wrist positions. Medicus hinged club is good for plane/hands/tempo. Laser in grip is good for path.

LOVE THE VIDEOS MATE! PLEASE DO MORE ON COURSE VLOGS LOVE THEM! IM A 8 HANDICAP AND DROPPING JUST GRABBED 790S!

Superspeed golf. Well worth the time spent working out to increase my swing speed.

A good training aid I’ve used to good effect is the cardboard tube centre of a toilet roll, placed over the shaft of the club so it slides up and down from grip to club head freely, this helps to give you the feeling of club lag, smooth takeaway and follow through, and helps to eliminate casting your club, and in courage a smoother swing , from L to L so to speak, big plus there free.

The best training aid for me was practice. Just a year and I'm greening most of my tee shots. Just looking for that extra help now with putting to drop a few.

Been using the Gold Flex Trainer for a number of years, really good as you can feel your swing.

Good video finchy I like the hanger but I think foot spray is my favourite uses for impact and making a line on the range so you have to hit the ball without touching the line I.e hitting the low point.

6:16 I love the way he says environment

I've had a swing glide in the bag for years love it broke my original on #2 now👍

My favourite training aid is my alignment sticks for the range or practice grounds because I was finding I was aiming everything 5 yards left without really knowing.

Here’s a video idea, considering josh was your first lesson I think josh should give you a lesson now, id enjoy watching that

The best training aid is basic fitness, I played my best when I was going to the gym and getting a good nights kip. Sounds a cliche but the night shifts, young kids and subsequent reduction in gym time and spare time killed my game.

I made this training aid for free with some athletic tape, a used desktop toy basketball and a key lanyard. Works great

The tour striker smart ball works very well for me

Outside of alignment sticks (which should be a given for every to use) I’ve never used other training aids. But I just ordered that hinge tool fryer was using this smart ball thing and one of those flexible tempo trainer rod with the ball on the end. See how it goes 🤷‍♂️

Smart ball has been brilliant, never used on course yet. Also swinglyde, really good too.

Nicely done mate 😁

Keep up the great videos Pete. They have been really helpful

Styling on the course with that bling round your neck.

Nice to get options on aides. Thanks

Will the first episode of Fashion with Finch feature pyjamas? Love your work Mr Finch. You are golf’s nicest guy. Great work.

Peter can you please take a look at the training aid called "Slot Machine" that lays on the ground? I bought one and it is very interesting because it shows the, users very specific "grooves" in backswing and downswing that prevent hitting the ground.

I like to find (or make) cheap substitutes for the expensive training aids. A small rubber ball or stuffed ball works just as well and costs much less

Ive used the FatPlate from Leadbetter. Does well

I like using drills from my coach. Otherwise I feel as though practice can be just ingraining bad habits. So I always ask for drills to keep me on the straight and narrow (or at least not quite as bendy and wide).

Great video, very interesting on training aids. My coach has just got me using the "smart striker" so will be interested to see if it helps.

Watch every vid Pete. Man I love this channel. What would it take to play a couple of holes with you? 🤣 Would be dream come true. 🏌️‍♂️

The Orange Whip has really improved my swing tempo.

I am a sucker for training aids! I have the watson hanger, planemate, tour angle 144, and a knockoff version of the swingyde I bought on ebay for $6, and a couple of cheap aligment sticks. And I use to have a smart ball. So far, the swingyde and hanger has helped me the most. The tour angle helped with chipping pretty well, and also just the cheap alignment sticks. And I have to admit, despite all the great reviews it gets, the planemate did not work for me really. I regret buying that one.

Been using a speedstick during lockdown. Swingspeed is up but accuracy is a mess!

The PerfectPutt training aid really helped me understand distance control alot more

Tour strikers are so good

Some pros don't work on the issue though, a lot of them try to rip your swing apart and start again.

I use a ball, it's not on a lanyard, I think its cost was $1usd. Good tool. I take a couple of swings with it, helps.

Nice video Pete, and a nice looking area too..! But what i would like to know is can you enter those craters to play your shots or are they OB.? Plus are those areas possibly dangerous to enter also...?? Didn't think much of the training aid either.., it looked quite awkward to adapt to..!

I love the tour striker ball, but yeah first tried it in a lesson to help with issues I have, so I got one. Not sure using it in a playing situation would help at all, just practice.

Let’s go finchy get in there.

Great vid Pete! How about a money match some time. With a twist, must use a training aid for each shot off the green 😜

My instructor has used a variety of training aids with me specific to what he is trying to teach in a particular lesson.

Alignment sticks always had trouble with direction.

Hey Pete. If you ever dancy playing at Blairgowrie GC.. gimme a shout.. its a bit north of Perth.. Ask Carly where it is !

Every video I've seen on the Smart Ball has been how effective it is, and how positive the results are for users and reviewers, so I ordered one. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow. Now I've seen Finch with it and wonder what the Hell have I done?

The best thing anyone can do is video their swing from side and front and see were swing is feedback is everything.

Im using the swing guide and the arm band running across my chest

The orange whip and alignment sticks.

Been playing for 20 years and I’ve tried a few. Best training aid I’ve ever used, is the one I have in my bag now, and the one that a lot of pga tour pros use. It’s the DST Compressor. Really helps me get off my right side and forces me into a good impact position. Have you used or heard of it ?

Stuart Smiths lagtastic has been super helpful

I’d hit ❤️to see Finches fashion Foopahs, an insight into bright garish and outlandish golf gear ?

Those holes looked to be an exhaust shaft for the mine below. They would have a fire at the bottom to bring up stale air and the vacuum would pull in clean air from the mine entrance. Same concept as the Battle of the Crater during the American Civil War.

What is your opinion on speed sticks? I’m thinking of buying the set as I don’t have an issue with strike/ direction but would like more speed in my swing. Another great video.

Alignment sticks

What is the most usual grass used in UK greens? I swear in this vid it looks like every putt is breaking like its on bermuda. I would have thought you guys used a cold grass like bentgrass

you honestly dont need training aids, your best training is repetition and isolation,. I watched a few videos, some of them several times. I broke them the swing down into segments and practiced part of the swing and I would practice that section. this includes the grip... I would grab and release the grip around 100 times. the take away I would practice again and again bring it up to the parallel point again and again (slowly then gradually increasing the speed). then I would work on another part again and again. I would still practice earlier parts leading up to what the current practice was. the closest to a training aid that I used was wooden dowels or some crappy golf club shafts when I was working on my take away and connection lines (as well as my setup/aim alignment). worked on exercises on isolating body motions and linking them with other motions. over the winter I used a broken handle of a golf club so I didnt hit my ceiling (after ingraining the take away and grip). warm weather time I would swing the club a couple hundred times a day, no golf ball, just a golf tee stuck fully in the ground, or sometimes those cheap wiffle balls that I would hit into a blanket tacked to the side of my home. I went from 90-95ish swing speed to 120 avg swing speed, from a extreme slice to a minor fade, and could bring in some draw to shape the shots. next I took a blanket laying it on the ground at one end of my yard, using about 100 cheap refurbished balls, chipped onto the blanket, then I worked on a 5 gallon bucket at close range slowly increasing the range. in the evenings I would watch my TV programs and put across my living room either into a taped off section (lag putt work) or into a small box about the size of a golf hole. when I went fishing/camping I would take some clubs,wiffle balls, and a blanket to practice my swing with. in just under a year (as I started early winter to the end of season here) I went from a 120+ to a low/mid 80s. training aids used.... 2 wooden dowels or crappy golf clubs, tees, wiffle balls, blanket, bucket, broken club (just below the grip), masking tape, and a small thin cardboard box.

Nice chip in on #2!

Are you playing at oulton hall next Monday in the pro tour event

The orange whip is an aid I’ve been using it’s grrrrrrate

Pete I wish you were closer I would have came for a lesson a long time ago. Planning on doing any teaching in the US anytime soon? Lol

Have you used gforce golf equipment pete

Hahaha love " fashion with finch". Dont want to see it, but I love it.

My word, between you and Crossfield I'm getting the idea that all greens in the UK are dirt hard but slow as can be. Is this a thing?? Our championship course here in the western US runs at 12 on the stimp meter but seems to catch greenside spin way more than in all your guys' videos. I'm just curious.

For me it was ricks idea of putting a golf towel 2-3 inch behind your golf ball to make sure your hitting the ball 1st then the ground after

Good stuff. What is the name of that magnetic device that was placed on the clubhead?

3:15 minutes in, Peter walks by a ball lol in the bush :D

I wish i would have seen this video 3 training aids ago!!
