5 Training Aids That Are Worth Your Money
Over the last year, I’ve done a lot of testing and I wanted to feature the best golf training aids that I routinely use in my practice sessions. I believe these products have helped me to become a better golfer. The training aid market is crowded, but these five companies offer products that are easy to use but more importantly will make your practice sessions more meaningful.
Editor’s Note – we have updated this article since it first published, and added some other training aids we recommend at the end of the article.
Orange Whip
This is one of the most popular and bestselling swing trainers of all time. The Orange Whip is effective in its simplicity. It can be used as a warmup tool before a round, a strength/flexibility trainer, and a way to hone your swing tempo.

Swingbyte
A powerful swing analysis tool that can detect key measurements of your swing, including tempo, swing plane, speed, angle of attack, and much more. The new Virtual Coach feature takes it to another level with technology that offers fixes for your particular swing flaws.

Hello –
I have a ‘ flaw ‘ during my golf swing that no swing aid has addressed to my knowledge. I would like to be in contact with a company that is involved in the manufacturing of swing aids. I believe it will be a win win for the manufacturer and all golfers that have this ‘ flaw ‘ in their swing.
Thanks so much for your time,
