Swim-Noodle a Huha Hoop and a Shoe-Box


Recommended Posts

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?  :wacko:  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?

I'll lay my towel behind the ball when I'm working on contact. And yes it is a rough feeling to have to walk out to get it when I make bad contact lol

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.

He uses the noodles at the very end for pressure trace work

The teacher I had here had a hula hoop. I felt bad when I slightly bent his hoop when we had a lesson. May have been a pink barbie one to boot

I've never seen this drill but seems very intriguing. Is it to provide feedback to "ground pressure"?
