Tom’s Favorite Training Aids!

Below find my all time favorite teaching aids. I feel they in fact do what that claim. They produce either a feel or a structure where you need it relative to your own personal swing issues. These aids I have found most helpful for the student to practice with building great and in fact correct habits.

	Thanks to new phone technology and compact recording devices everyone with a smartphone has the ability to record their swing without having to drag.CamCaddy was invented to allow simple and consistent video recording from the same level. Use it during full swings and even putting to get the visual for what your swing is actually doing.
	If you want to lower scores, you must do it with the club you hit 43% of your shots with. Putting lab results show that your aim or face angle is 4 times more important than your stroke path. Results also indicate that the average golfer can not line up a 6 ft putt. The average golfer does not set up correctly, aim correctly, or practice correctly. The patented sight-line technology in the dead aim putter will not only get your eyes over the aim line every time (by matching the top line to the bottom line), it will also give you immediate feedback as to whether your hands and body are in the correct position by keeping the dot in the dead center.

	Heavy Hitters (7 Iron): Unlike other weighted trainers, this club eliminates the boredom involved in developing and strengthening the golf muscles because you can actually take it out on the range to hit balls, receiving immediate feedback. Or you can just using it at home or at the office. The Heavy Hitter iron goes above and beyond other weighted clubs. A practice swing may seem flawless, but it’s the swing taken at the ball that counts. The weighted 7-iron is 740 grams (26.4 oz) and is available right-handed only with or without preformed training grip.
	Heavy Hitters (Driver): Build strength while developing a rhythmic swing. Designed to be used while hitting balls!
	Impact Bag w/DVD: Every player attempts to get the club on line & square at impact. A breakdown of the left wrist and collapse of the leading arm at that moment are two of the most common problems faced by players of all skill levels. Impact Bag is one of the most popular training aids of all time for the following reason – there is only one moment of truth in the golf swing – Impact! This device teaches the correct position and feel for that moment.Using the Impact Bag in conjunction with the Self Teaching Board (for swing path & setup) you will develop virtually all the elements of a consistent, repeating and powerful swing.DVD includes instructions for filling & caring for the Impact Bag, as well as popular drills used by Dr. Gary Wiren.

	Medicus Dual-Hinge Irons: The original and best line of hinged training clubs just got even better. There are two full swing clubs used and endorsed by more than 70 PGA pros. The 5-iron is the club most people are familiar with, but the driver is a must for consistency. Both clubs have a hinge mechanism which breaks down when a flaw occurs in a players swing. This instant feedback will improve timing, tempo, takeaway and swing like never before. The new adjustable hinge lets you vary the tension of the hinge, while the green alignment indicator (on the hinge) provides visual feedback for path.
	No 3-putt: This cup reducer fits snugly inside the hole to make your practice cup smaller, and does not damage the green. Golf pros have long known the benefits of putting to a smaller practice target: many of them have used dimes on the green as they warmed up.The No 3 Putt Cup reducer has the added benefit of actually allowing you to hole putts, thereby experiencing the successful sound of the ball dropping into the hole. The addition of the smaller inner ring make the hole even smaller, having the psychological effect of making a standard size hole seem much bigger than it actually is. This effect can be a very powerful confidence builder on those crucial two footers.
	Pin Balls: Designed to teach the player how to square the putter at impact, these challenging shiny balls are so challenging standard golf balls will be easy to putt by comparison. Because the balls are joined in the middle, they will not roll straight unless perfectly struck.We have had many a contest with these in our office and believe us, they’re addictive!
	Right Angle 2: Many of you out there are unsure of the role of the right arm and right side in the golf swing. Make no bones about it: the correct positioning of the right arm and right side are essential for swing consistency.
