PlaidJacket Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've been wanting to ask here in the forum for a while.... How many of you actually use home made training/practice aids like you see on TV. I watch many of the training shows on Golf Channel and like them for the most part. What I see a lot of is certain hosts recommending that we use and take to the practice tee/range items like a swim noodle, a shoe box, beach ball, coat hanger, hula hoop, etc, etc. I don't use that stuff or do any of that. I certainly never see anyone else using that stuff. In public! Yeah, I get that these Hosts many times suggest you do this at home. Wonder why? I assume so you don't look like a idiot. LOL I have many training aids such as alignment rods, Pivot-Pro, DST, Orange Whip, etc. But I'm not about to show up on the practice tee wagging a swim-noodle and a shoe box. Are you? Do you?

BigtazzGolf Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'll lay my towel behind the ball when I'm working on contact.

RookieBlue7 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Noodles are useful for golfers of all levels, even tour guys. A great video from a teacher you've never heard of that's local to me and adds tour guys to his stable all the time. He's at 7 or 8 now and he's gaining steam more and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=frGnCtjH6I4 He uses the noodles at the very end for pressure trace work In The BagDriver: TaylorMade M2 (2017) w/ Project X T1100 HZRDUS Handcrafted 65x Strong 3 wood: Taylormade M1 15* w/ ProjectX T1100 HZRDUS handcrafted 75x3 Hybrid: Adams PRO 18* w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4 Hybrid: Adams PRO 20* (bent to 21*) w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4-AW: TaylorMade P770 w/ Dynamic Gold Tour Issue Black Onyx S400 SW: 56* Scratch Tour Dept(CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerLW: 60* Scratch Tour Department (CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerXW: 64* Cally XForged Vintage w/ DG X100 8 iron tiger steppedPutter: Nike Method Prototype 006 at 34"Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up.

Is it to provide feedback to "ground pressure"? My Mixed-Bag: Driver: Mavrik Sub zero, ventus black 7x Fairway: Still looking!
