Choosing The Right Golf Training Aids To Develop Your Skills On The Green

By Rosella Campbell


In order to stay on top of their game, people who love golfing need to practice regularly and hone their skills. Very few golfers have the time or money to hit the putting greens frequently to accomplish this, which is where some quality golf training aids come in handy. There is a wide selection of these products available for use both at home and on the green that can help serious golfers improve their play.

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.

An alignment aid is made with the purpose of assisting the golfer in recognizing the manner in which he or she is positioning the club during a swing. Some alignment aids attach onto the head of the club and work by means of pressure sensors, while others such as alignment sticks consist of a pair of rods made from fiberglass that are placed on the ground and generate visual guidance for several types of swings.

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.

"Swing trainers" are also very helpful in fine tuning a golfer's swing technique. These devices work in various ways and are intended to perfect a specific aspect of the golf swing. Some use air resistance to help develop a stronger swing, while others make a sound to indicate a correct swing motion. Still other swing trainers look like a club, but are not intended for driving balls, but rather improving the tempo, balance, and arc of one's swing.

Some kinds of aids are made to assist with the putt. Most of these are positioned on the ground where they function as visual references to help the golfer better assess the direction, squareness, and form when putting. Some of them give golfers the tactile and visual guidance needed to replicate the putting stroke of the pros, by means of an adjustable machine. A putting balance mirror, or attachments for alignment sticks can also be helpful in this respect.

In the area one plans on practicing their golfing skills, it is a good idea to install a golf net that will snag the balls, preventing them from getting lost or harming someone else's property. There are also some hollow, plastic training balls which are perfect for home or putting green practice, and a convenient retriever bag can also be purchased to make for quick collecting afterwards.

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.
