WITB Training aid edition


Recommended Posts

Since in lockdown I've ended up purchasing some additional training aids and i wondered what other people had and if they found any particular combinations that work well together. Any additional suggestions or any questions on a particular tool? Thought this might give people ideas as well...

 

Pure 2 Triangular Pop Up Practice net (even though I have this large net, im still not confident in using real balls in my garden)

Colin Montgomerie Dual Practice Mat

Airflow (Wiffle) practice balls x30

Practice foam balls x30

I was looking at some flatballs, but found that plastic milk carton tops seem to work well and are regularly replaceable

Scholl foot spray (impact analysis)

Pop up chipping target net.

Zepp 2 swing analyzer (measures swing speed, swing plane and tempo)

Tour Striker Plane Mate

Swing Impact Swing Caddie

Pure 2 Tempo Trainer (budget orange whip)

Inflatable ball on lanyard

alignment sticks

iPing app and iphone mount for putter

small ebay putting mirror

the pill putting practice ball x3 (also good for chipping practice)

Putt out target

Golf Pad on my phone linked to my watch to track my shots on round

 

These give me a well rounded practice set up at home while in lockdown. I had considered "the hanger" but haven't purchased yet. Also considering overspeed training.

I'm in the UK and have been in lock down or under high restrictions for about 8-9 of the last 12 months. Driving ranges are closed. Courses are closed. I still need my golf fix so have very few other options right now.

We understand your situation. I was more humor since golfspy MPR prides himself in making DIY training aids.

Haha sorry for the confusion. As cnosil mentioned it was a joke referencing our resident Macgyver of Training aids. No matter how simple or complex, MPR will reverse engineer it and make one himself using just common household items 😁

Never answered your question on what training aids:

Full swing:

  1. Alignment rods
  2. headcover to work on swinging up with the driver
  3. towels to work on not hitting the ball fat
  4. foot spray for face contact

Putting:

  1. ExPutt
  2. Visio startline trainer
  3. various things (generally sleeves of balls) to move the putter through or keep the putter from going off plane.
