Review Of The Different Types Of Golf Training Products
Posted by Mick Euan Tait under: Golf .
If you have ever looked into buying golf training products you will know that there are an abundance of them. Make sure though, that you know what you are looking for and for what purpose you need the golf training products. A lot of golfers end up spending vast sums of money on golf aids that just don't work for them.
Even though you don't have any major problems with your game, there is still room for improvement in some area or other. Maybe you could find a way of getting more distance with your drives or play more consistently; or maybe you should look at some golf strength training aids to help you get fit for golf.
In this article I will point out the top 4 categories and which type of golf training products you can find. You should first try to identify why you believe you think a golf training aid can help you. Once you have identified your particular problem you will be in a better position to choose the right golf aid to help you improve your game.
First, you might not need golf training equipment; instead you could start checking out a few golf guides (eBooks) or golf DVD's that deal with a specific topic that may help you. There are many good eBooks and DVD's on helping you with your golf swing, how to fix a slice, golf stretching exercises, golf fitness programs, or general golf lessons. If you decide that you would rather have a physical golf training product, then here are the different categories available:
Full Swing Training Aids: In this category you will find the most choice but some of the products might not give you a total golf swing solution. The better golf swing trainers include the hinged golf clubs such as the Refiner hinged training clubs and the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver. Other golf training clubs that can help with the full swing are weighted golf clubs like the Momentus weighted clubs, or you could try the Leadbetter Swing Setter which is very good. Lastly, a bit more expensive but certainly the best of category, is the full swing trainer by Explaner.
Golf Fitness Training Aids: By getting fit for golf you will greatly improve all aspects of your golf game; so I recommend any golfer try out these training aids. The GolfGym is the renowned leader in the field of golf fitness and they offer complete solutions for the golfer. To increase your flexibility and to work on your golf specific muscles, there are two options. The first are weighted golf clubs which also improve your swing plane, and the second is the Explaner as it uses a weighted roller.
Golf Grip Training Aids: You can't have a great golf swing without having a good golf grip, so golf grip training aids are very useful if you are not comfortable with your grip. Some of the most popular of these aids are golf gloves that are specially designed to teach you the proper grip and pressure every time and a specially shaped grip that fits on top of your normal grip. If you want to strengthen the muscles of your hands and wrists, there are also grip aids designed for that.
Putting Training Aids: As a good putting game can significantly lower your score, there are many golf putting aids to help you perfect this area of your game. Some putting aids use a laser to help you with alignment and others are used to help with the all important aspect of good tempo. For alignment, there are many putting tracks or guides available, and if you need help with the correct position of your forearms and hands, there are several braces that can help.
These are the main categories of golf training products. There are several other specialized categories that are more specific, like; swing plane, golf tempo, alignment, balance, weight transfer, impact position, release, and short game training aids. So, as you can see, there is a specific golf training product for each and every area of the game of golf. Remember, only buy a golf training aid when you have identified the specific area of your game that you need help with or that you want to improve.
