PGA Tour Caddy Revels Top Golf Training Aids Tour Players Use
Each year golfers spend millions of dollars on golf training aids, trying to find the magical cure that will suddenly catapult them into the golfer they always wanted to be. Generally abandoning their efforts two or three weeks later obtaining little or no positive results, so what is the answer?
Being a fairly accomplished golfer myself I have often said "invent a halfway sensible golf training aid, market it properly, and you will make millions. Golfers will buy anything if they believe it will help them play better." This really is the truth. So what's a golfer to do, what works and what doesn't? How do you know if you're buying the right training aid? These are valid questions and deserve valid answers.
What is the answer? Do these training aids work, or are you just wasting your money? Yes, most do work to some degree, but how well, is often what is questionable. In trying to discover what works one needs to look toward the tour professionals and see what they are using. Tour pros know the game, they find out very quickly what works and what won't.
I do see from time to time a lot different golf training aids, but you find out quickly if their any good or not. They won't be around long if their not. So what are the training aids I see most often on tour? They are: Leader Board, Laser Line Putting aid, Balance Board, and the Putting Arch. (To find out more about each of these go to: http://www.pga-golf-tour-caddy-guide.com/Golf-Swing-Aids.html
The Leader Board is probably the number one training aid on tour, although you seldom see this at the course, it is quite common in the gym and at home. There are currently over fifty tour players using and training with the Leader Board. Does that give you a hint that this product just might work. The Leader Board actually helps with a couple different things. First it will train players how to properly shift their weight to the left side during the swing. Second the Leader Board is a great strength trainer, this strengthens core muscles and thigh muscles helping players hit the ball farther.
The Putting Arch is the number one putting aid I see on tour. It is simple to use, and if used consistently players will notice dramatic improvement in their putting stroke.
More and more Laser Line Putter is appearing on the tour. If anyone is having problems with proper alignment of the putter blade, the laser line putter will tell you exactly where you are lined up.
Finally I see the Balance Board, if you want to become a good ball striker you must learn to maintain proper balance, this is an excellent tool for that. The Balance board is simple but very effective; you simply stand on this board with your feet over the edge while you hit shots. It teaches you how to stay centered with your weight as you swing.
If its training aids you're looking for to help your golf game, and don't want to waste time and money on item that just don't work. Look at what the tour pro's use, you won't go wrong.
