As a fully qualified PGA Professional, much of my training was centered around helping people improve their golf.
Over my time coaching, some of the quickest and most notable improvements came through the use of training aids.
Now before you conjure up images of Kevin Costner smothered in gadgets in Tin Cup(!), not all of them are whacky gimmicks! Most of the best players in the world will use some for of training aid to supplement their practice.
I have rounded up my favorite five deals on training aids that I believe will help you improve your game.
UWANTME Swing Corrector
This super simple hinge like device fits easily onto your club and once lined up correctly, guides you into the correct position when setting your wrists.
If your forearm is not hitting the slot, this is a clear indication that you are potentially bowing or cupping your wrists (depending on which side it misses) and as such manipulating the clubface.
I like that you can use this aid for both practice swings to familiarize yourself with better positions and also easily hit full shots with it.
This is one of Scottie Sheffler's go to training aids and as one of the most consistent ball strikers in golf, it may be prudent to take a leaf out of his book!
Great deal here at 62% off, fill your boots!
PuttOut Platinum Pressure Trainer
As a UK based player, this is the time of year the greens start to slow up and get a little bit bobblier.
This can have a detrimental effect on your confidence and touch unless managed correctly...
Last winter I leant heavily on the PuttOut Platinum Pressure Trainer to keep my stroke in check and I have genuinely had one of my best ever putting years this season. I simply kept the trainer on the floor of my office and every time I had a spare five minutes I would stroke a few putts towards it.
The benefits are twofold. You improve your accuracy in terms of line, but also fine tune your pace control. You really have to have perfect pace control in order to stop the ball in the small groove on the ramp...
Absolutely love this training aid. Cheap as chips, so snap one up, you won't regret it!
EyeLine Golf Speed Trap
I love this training aid from Eyeline. If you are struggling with your swing path, then this is most definitely the tool for you.
It comes with easy to follow set up instructions but you probably don't need them to be honest. The diagonal soft red bumpers offer the guidance you need to straighten out your path, and can be adjusted to encourage more in-to-out or even out-to-in tendencies as required.
I love the multi-functional nature of this model as it also encourages correct face alignment and more neutral takeaways.
With 20% off here, I would encourage you to take a look if you struggle with a slice or a hook!
Golf Practice Plate
This is one of Tommy Fleetwood's go-to drills, and with one of the most visually pleasing swings in the game, for me it is a great one to copy.
Fleetwood uses the practice plate at an angle to encourage him to keep his club more out in front of him throughout the swing as he sometimes drops the club too much under plane and hits hooks and pushes. This can quite easily be used the opposite way however to stop the dreaded over the top move!
Whichever way you want to use it, it’s a great tool for keeping that swing plane where it needs to be to produce the shots you want.
Only a modest 5% saving on this, but it all adds up!
TRS Ball
This is a bit of an indulgent inclusion if I am totally honest, as there isn’t even a deal on the TRS ball! As a personal user of it however, I feel so strongly that this will improve anyone's backswing structure, that I had to include it!
Numerous Tour players such as Justin Rose agree with me and regularly use the TRS ball to maintain the structure of their arms, avoiding the flying right elbow.
The basic premise is that the ball - which conveniently stays in place on a velcro panel - sits between your forearms and as you make your backswing, during which you try to maintain a constant pressure on the ball from both arms. This stops any separation or disconnection which in turn leads to more consistent ball striking.
At less than $50, I still feel this represents great value for a tool that I personally know to be supremely effective!
