Training Aids

I have built up a collection of some pretty neat training aids over the years. They are available for students to use. Unfortunately, I also have a pile of others that seemed to be too good to be true! They were! Call me first before you buy!

Here are a few with my comments; (and links if appropriate)

V1 Video Swing Analysis System-The best teaching tool ever! Whether you're just learning or working on improving your swing. Slow motion / Stop action reveals details most people never get an opportunity to see. Visual learning is by far the best way to understand the basics of the golf swing. Comparing your swing to your favorite professional golfers really helps gets a visual image of what needs to be done.

OptiShot Golf Simulation System. Fun to use and a very good practice tool that gives immediate feedback on several aspects of your swing. Great for short game practice indoors to get a feel for the size of swing for different yardages. Quite accurate. www.dancindogg.com

Gyro Swing Swing trainer - This one is really cool. For many students, using it will be the first time you will feel what releasing the club is all about. Excellent tool to help understand the importance of grip pressure as well. http://www.gyroswing.com/whatitdoes_howitworks.php

Swingmate Swing Speed Radar Instant feedback of your swing speed and estimated distance.

Putt tron Helps line up the clubface to your target line. Dont think target line? You will! http://www.dwquailgolf.com/training/puttron.html

The Putting Arc Simple device helps develop the putter path back and through the ball.

Adams Golf Dix Blue Instructional putter - Instant digital feedback of your putting stroke on a small screen in the putter head. The putter doesnt feel good but excellent feedback of the clubs path, impact point and face alignment at impact.

Medicus Swing trainer Hinged club that forces you to keep the club(face) on-plane throughout the swing to keep in club from breaking. Its ok, but students more often than not find it frustrating to work with. The Gyro Swing is much better.

Path Pro Multi position device to help force you to take the club along the correct path.

Zen Oracle Putter Helps with the feel of releasing the putter head.

Impact Bag Hitting into this helps you develop an awareness of the impact position.

Power Sleeve Adds weight to your club for practice swings. Good for tempo.
