Welcome to the only blog dedicated to golf training aids, golf practice aids and golf training equipment.
Every day we will be collecting and posting the latest questions and answers about golf training aids as well as short videos to help you choose the best training aids that promise to take your golf to the next level.
Remember that every improvement counts, because every shot counts!
One of the latest golf training aids is the launch pad simulator which allows a golfer at home to participate in the game when watching a live golfing tournament on the television screen. You are actually joining in with your favorite pro on the circuit and can use your own clubs while watching the game taking place.
This with the latest module available makes it practically an online golf training experience.This module operates with PlayStation 2 or later versions, and PC and MAC systems. This latest development is equivalent to participating in a golf training video. While actually practicing your swing via the simulator, the club head speed and angle can be analyzed and viewed on the television screen. This is an excellent golf training tool which can be readily obtained by going online and searching, or at your regular golfing pro-shop.
A vital and important element for any golfer is the grip used when holding the club. There are many good books and videos available as to how to grip the club correctly, and the importance of this element of golf should not be overlooked.
Would you like to know when striking the ball the speed at which the ball is traveling and the distance the ball has reached? There is a portable golf training product available on the market that works off batteries. No preparation is required to get started and once you start swinging the club you have the results immediately.
One of the golf training aids available on the market is known as the ‘shotwatch’. It is worn on the hand like a wristwatch. This product can analyze aspects of a golfers swing as soon as it has been completed. It is able to show the speed of the swing, the amount of pressure being exerted by the grip and the rhythm or tempo of the swing. This information which is immediately available to the player once he has completed his swing will help him to see when he has struck the ball sweetly, what the indicators are displaying. He will thus be able to work towards introducing a consistency in his game which was previously lacking.
There are electronic devices available today that can help a golfer develop his golf swing training. One of these is called the Swing-Tempo. This device analysis the different aspects of a golfers swing namely the back swing, top swing and downswing. One is able to set the rhythm or tempo of the swing they would be comfortable using
(fast, slow or average). This electronic unit is able to communicate with the golfer either by means of an audio signal, a vibrating signal or a visual signal after he has selected the tempo of the swing. He will then be alerted as to when to be ready to commence the swing, start the back swing and complete the downswing. It may sound complicated but on reading through the understandable instruction manual and watching the DVD no difficulty will be encountered. A great way of using this device when practicing without any disturbance to other golfers is to make use of the vibrating mode of the device which can easily be attached to one’s belt.
One of the latest golf training aids is a golf driver which has been developed with computer hardware built into the shaft and software included as well. The software which can be loaded into a home PC or laptop is windows based. There is a wireless based connection in the driver and the battery is effective for up to 6 hours before needing to be recharged. The driver itself is identical in every respect to a normal driver except for the hardware and software installed on it. After practicing with this club one would be able to review their swing on their home computer from every possible angle and obtain any relevant information they would like to view such as charts or graphs of their play. One can view and compare your swing to the perfect computerized image of what it should be. This is an innovative development as a golf training aid.
As with all other golfing aids the importance of books written by golfing greats such as Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Watson, Gary Player and others cannot be overemphasized or ignored and should always play a part as a golf training aid.
