Golf Training Aids – Can They Help Your Swing
If you're a rabid golfer addicted to the Golf Channel like I
am, you've no doubt seen the endless infomercials pitching
the latest and greatest golf training aids. So, what's the
deal? Do these golf training aids really work or are they
offering golfers false hope? Fortunately for you, I've
whipped out my credit card on more than one occasion to buy
one of these cure-alls and I'm here to tell you what you
should expect from these miracle devices.
The first thing I noticed was that I bought these products
not based on a specific area of my game that I wanted to
fix, but rather how well they were marketed. Don't fall into
this trap. For example, I saw a device that was supposed to
help with an outside-to-inside swing path. The infomercial
was fantastic. I convinced myself that I had an
outside-to-inside swing and really needed this product. The
reality is that my swing is inside-to-outside and this
device ruined my game for a whole year by exacerbating my
flaw.
On the other side of the fence, I purchased a golf training
aid that kept my back leg flexed throughout my golf swing
and prevented the dreaded reverse pivot that had plagued me
for years. This was absolutely the best investment in my
golf game that I have ever made. It seemed to cure problems
I didn't even know I had. I have been hitting it far more
solidly and definitely longer since I have been using it.
The point is you should understand the specific areas of
your swing you are trying to improve. Once you know what
needs to be fixed, only then should you seek out a training
aid to help you with that specific problem. You can also go
see your local PGA Pro to both help you isolate your swing
flaws and recommend some exercises to improve those flaws.
Often times teaching professionals will use golf training
aids during lessons so be sure to ask them for advice and
recommendations.
Golf training aids can be tremendously beneficial to your
golf swing and help you make major improvements. However,
you have to choose the right ones or you could do your swing
more harm than good.
