How To Select The Best Golf Training Aids To Improve Your Game

By Rosella Campbell


Like anything, mastering the game of golf takes effort and lots of practice. Yet it isn't likely that most golfers will be able to hit the putting green on a daily basis, which is why it can be helpful to invest in some quality golf training aids, many of which can even be used at home to strengthen one's golfing technique.

When it comes to choosing the best training aid, one should consider what specific skills he or she wants to work at developing. They range in the level of assistance they provide, from basic visual aids, to devices that encourage proper technique and posture in the golfer. Some of these products are even designed to be safely used indoors, which can be very convenient.

Alignment aids are designed to help the golfer focus on proper club positioning during a swing. They function in various ways, some consist of parallel fiberglass rods that are laid on the ground and produce visual alignment guidance for multiple kinds of swings, while others use pressure sensors, and fasten onto the club heads.

Another way one can use an aid to improve his or her swing, is to weight the club. This can be achieved by using special training clubs which have been weighted appropriately, or simply by attaching a weighted or some lead tape over the head of the club. Doing this can give the golfer more accurate control over the swing.

Using a "swing trainer" is another way a person can strengthen the quality of his or her swing. Different kinds of these products work in varying ways, some focus on increasing arm strength and balance, others guide one's posture when swinging. Some are made to resemble a club, but are weighted to help improve one's swing arc, balance, and tempo. Other designs function using air resistance to build swing strength and can be used inside as well, or by producing an audible sound indicating that one has executed a proper swing.

Putting aids are another form of golf training product. Designed to help golfers hone their putting technique, these devices are normally placed on the ground and provide visual references that help the golfer evaluate the form, direction, and squareness of the putt. Some are machine-operated, allowing users to emulate the ideal putting stroke through tactile and visual guidance. Other types include alignment stick attachments and putting balance mirrors.

A golf net is a handy contraption that can be easily installed in one's yard or garage, which works to prevent loss of golf balls and avoids the possibility that they will do harm to a neighbor's property. Some golfers like to use hollow, plastic practice balls, since they are lightweight and can be safely used anywhere, additionally, with an accompanying retriever bag, it will make collecting them a much simpler task.

Golfers can also purchase useful instructional guidebooks or DVDs which are packed with tips and pointers that can help people improve their skills. Proper form and technique is visually demonstrated by a professional instructor which makes understanding these concepts that much easier for those who are trying to master them.
