Golf Swing Teaching Aids

Lets face it, golf is a hard game. There are many people out there claiming to be able to help you play golf better, many of them by using various golf swing teaching aids. I would say most of these golf swing teaching aids are garbage and not even worth mentioning, but there are a few that are worthwhile and one that really will help you out the most.

The hinged golf club is the real deal of golf swing teaching aids. Certain types of hinged golf clubs are endorsed by some really big names in golf, which doesn't always mean a lot, but I do believe it counts for something.

The hinged golf club works by the hinge only staying in tact if you swing correctly. This means the tempo has to be correct, the take-away, the follow-thru, wrist action, pretty much everything. That's where this club beats out all other golf swing teaching aids. Most of the others can just help you with one aspect of your game, which leaves you buying multiple things.

It works better than the rest by pushing consistency on to our golf swing. If you can develop the same swing every time, you will know exactly where your ball is going, even if your swing isn't perfect or doesn't look pretty, the important thing is that it is reproducible.

Of all the golf swing teaching aids out there, it's pretty clear I recommend going with a hinged golf club trainer. As I said earlier there are some others out there that do provide benefits.

The golf swing plane trainers (large white circles you basically get into and swing) do provide some good feedback as well. The problem with them is that they are large and bulky which aren't conducive to most peoples homes, and they also only work on one aspect of your game, the swing plane. I recommend just going to a driving range that has one.

One other of the golf swing teaching aids I liked is designed specifically to fix your slice. It forces you to swing from the inside out, instead of the outside in, which is what usually is causing you to slice your ball.

Bottom line, there are many golf swing teaching aids available, including a few books about the basics I didn't mention, that really do help your game and are worth spending the money on.
