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

By Rosella Campbell


Since most golfers do not have regular access to a putting green on which they can practice their game, it can be very useful for them to have another way to improve their playing skills. Fortunately, there are many handy golf training aids on the market that golfers can use at home or on the golf course to help them perfect their game play.

There is a wide selection of effective training aids on the market today, each designed to help the golfer perfect a specific skill. Some of these devices work by imposing proper posture and technique, while others provide visual guidance. A few of these aids can be used indoors as well, allowing for year-round practice.

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.

Weighting one's golf clubs can also be instrumental in perfecting the swing. Doing so can help golfers better control the swing speed, and it can be accomplished by using lead tape, affixing a weighted sock over the club head, or investing in some weighted clubs, which have been designed specifically for training use.

"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.

Other golfing aids help people putt better, evaluating the squareness, direction, and form of their putting. Some are adjustable machines which work by giving golfers visual and tactile guidance that will help them learn to putt like the pros. Putting balance mirrors, and alignment stick attachments can also be used as visual reference for putting.

Setting up a golf net where one intends to practice whether indoor or outdoors is a good way to keep track of balls and ensure that they don't get lost or damage another's property. Also, lightweight practice balls, which are made from plastic and have holes in them, are great for practice, and a ball retriever bag can make collecting them after use on the putting green much easier and faster.

One of the best ways for a golfer to learn the proper way to swing, putt, etc., is to watch others. There are some very comprehensive instructional DVDs and illustrated guidebooks that can be used for this purpose. Professional instructors give demonstrations that people can watch and practice until they master the skill. These presentations are also usually full of helpful tips and pointers that golfers can use to improve their game.
