Attach the words "golf aid" to a common item, and it'll sell for 500% more. Call a driveway marker an "alignment stick" and the price goes from $2.50 to $15.
That is so true, thank you
They are the same thing! I knew i was right haha. I told this same thing to my gf a few weeks ago after I bought some driveway markers.
I was lucky enough to have the local pro tell me to go to Home Depot to get “alignment sticks”
They make an alignment stick disc thing that holds sticks at various angles for your swing plane, for $80.
Or…you could get a chunk of wood and drill holes in it at various angles for almost $nothing.
Golf training aids are ridiculous.
Once I was at Walmart checking out their golf stuff. They sold Callaway alignment sticks for $14.95. I then went over to their hardware section and they sold two driveway markers for $3.95. I bought them right away. They work perfectly well as alignment sticks, and the money is in my pocket, not Callaway's.
I love your honesty ! These companies are charging crazy amount of money for things that are crap and made poorly
You've missed your call as a stand up comedian! Subtle sarcasm, facial messaging, and when you wore the "straight jacket" retailing for $69 but probably cost $2 to make had me laughing on the floor! Some of these products probably could have been categorized in the warped sexual market; well done!
The best speed training that helped me was hitting 300 fungo fly balls with a 33 ounce baseball bat per day when I was coaching baseball. I picked up like 20 yards on my drives 😂
The only training aid worth anything is a good teacher & they can be hard to find for amateurs. I've been through 3 over the years & 2 of them taught me nothing I didn't already know. I've actually learned much more on RUclips over the past year that I could probably give lessons. After watching many of these videos, I've learned why I'm making the mistakes I've been making for years & how to fix them absolutely free of charge so I really should thank the people who provide all of this information nearly on a daily basis. So, thanks to all for giving their time & effort to help us reach our goals.
Thank you for your open and honest review. Some of these I have really been to try. DsT/lagshot for example. P.S so tired of seeing ads for that damn snap trainer every time I click on your video.
The one aid you didn’t show that I’ve used for years is the weighted swing trainer that starts with a S and ends with a Z (rhymes with skills). Short weighted stick with a training grip, and you can change the weight at the end. It’s great for small apartments with limited room as I can full swing beside my couch. And I pick it up every time I watch a training video to practice a drill. And it’s cheap! Only 40 bucks.
That product is actually the #1 golf swing trainer on Amazon, so I also would've liked to see it reviewed.
why cant you say the name of the thing?
@@foxtree4255 it's like SKLZ I think
@@D2theLEO thanks! I was googling things that rhymed lol not cutesy-spelling of the word. I looked up "thrills" "drills" "pills" followed by golf trainer...they were all wrong
Great video, that devil ball looks worth a try. Might keep me occupied on my putting matt through the long Canadian winter. Another one i have is the Izzo arm trainer, like the funky t-shirt but a lot less crazy looking.
Every training aid I've ever bought ends up collecting dust in the closet.
alignment sticks might be the only swing aid i used to effectively get my handicap below 10.
I've only bought a couple of training aids over the years and neither were mentioned here. My fave swing aid is the Medicus (5 iron) club. Its really good for ensuring a good tempo thru the swing and the club gives great feedback when your takeaway is too fast or your follow thru/release is incorrect. I usually swing it for 5 minutes prior to every round. Good value as Ive had it for almost 20 years. The other one I have is a Momentus "Heavy" club. Its great for correcting tempo AND really helps loosen up any stiffness you might have prior to a round, especially for senior golfers. I was kinda surprised you didnt mention them, but hey there are likely thousands more "swing trainers" out there. Great video!!
I know it’s impossible to show every training aid, however I would love for you to get hold of and do a review of the GEM. Stands for Golf Essential Move from a Scottish PGA pro. It’s designed to set the club and teaches correct release.
I could not swing the GEM without a wobble, trying everything I could imagine, felt duped. Recently came across Intelligent Golf Performance video titled ,” Backswing and Impact fix/ a training aid you need.” After seeing this, it reminded of the gem and sure enough, I could swing it without a wobble. Now, I’m left with two questions; 1. Will this help my golf? 2. Did I need the Gem or could I have gotten the motion with the setup the Intelligent Golf guy had?
Great vid... this is the kind of honest reviews we need!
Golf has intrigued me for 30 years or so, tried many of those but you have left out the most simple and effective , a 7 foot marine rope as used by Dr. Kwon and others.
As an average golfer it has improved my timing and understanding of plane considerably.
Love ya from the other side of the pond.
how do you use the marine rope?
Missed GEM golf..... THAT wee attachment (developed by an actual pro!) WORKS!
My favorites are the orange whip for tempo and staying loose throughout the swing, and the puttout ramp.
what a great video The thing I love about you is that you are very practicle Why pay big if you don't have to. I am sure you had a great laugh testing some of this stuff
I agree about the grip on training aids. I didn't dial my grip in until I used a weighted, little club, with a grip trainer on it. Golden.
My personal favorite due to it’s amazing impact on my swing is the Medicus breakaway 5 iron. Ball striking has become superb the past 3 months using the Medicus as it gives me a true feel and understanding of where the club head is at all times while making sure I stay on plane
Dude! I used use a medicus 7 iron my ex girlfriend's dad had back in early 2000's. It changed my game forever. I forgot about it. I'm going to search for one.
I have the Medicus 5 iron and driver lol. I have so many aids it’s unreal but those two are my favorite. The hanger is really good but gets annoying taking on and off to transfer feels. The planemate is awesome for working on take away but I don’t hit shots with it and lagshot iron is good just for tempo and warm up. I’ve got a dozen others too
I have the Medicus driver & 5 iron. Great golf gadgets.
@@CAL4Eagles the best aids I’ve ever bought. Oldest ones I have and still most effective. They train without you having to think about much and I think that’s why
I’ve had the 5 iron version with a Leadbetter training grip for 25 years. Always go back to it as soon as things start to go wrong, soon back on track. Great training aid
Thanks for taking one for the team.😆
Excellent video, thank you so much. I like the speed stick with magnet the best.
The Power Stick (at 5'11") is the old Leadbetter Swing Setter! Not sure if the Leadbetter version is still around (the website appears not to be available now). I thought it was pretty good.
I love these types of videos and it’s amazing that you went through the effort of collecting them all, testing each one, and providing your feedback. The challenge with these videos however is that most people that “test” them, similar to you, well, they have a great swing. I don’t feel you can test a fix for something you don’t have broken. You can’t test a slice fixer tool if you don’t have a slice. And trying to replicate a slice is no where near to a person that has a slice that is trying their @$$ off to not slice. These product reviews would be better if you brought in people with issues and have them see if it really “fixes” them. Just a thought.
This is one of your best videos to date! Honest, straight forward, informative. Brilliant!
My vote is for the Hol-lee roller dog ball. There is one size that's perfect for between your forearms. You can hook a keyring through the lattice structure and hang it off a lanyard.
That makes so much sense on the late release. I can almost never make the magnet release on anything but the lowest setting and I know I have a super late release.
Check out the light shaft thing The Golf Sensei shows how to make. It's a piece of plastic pipe with flashlights in both ends. Teaches swing plane. Made one the other day and seems really good.
Great video. You could have stretched this content into a dozen videos (and I would have watched them all) but this an excellent summary.
Awesome!!! Great piece practical and indicative of how crazy golfers are. Wonderful
Would have liked to see the prosender in this video. Trottie at Taylor made was messing around with one and it looked super helpful, but is a bit expensive so I’m hesitant.
This reminds me of the woman in Tin Cup who had all the gimmicks and some of them were over the top . But the best part is when tin cup put them on and gets busted wearing them in his trailer was priceless.
A great follow up to this video: here are 50 diy ways to do exactly what these items do. Hanger? Use an actual hanger 10 cents, ball on loop for $100 - kids sized basketball at Walmart $5 and $1 for rope, weighted club $2 washers at Home Depot, speed stick? Take and old iron and saw the head off, etc. some of this stuff is ridiculously overpriced. It’s just silly.
No amazon link for the orange ball? Seems like a missed opportunity for an amazon referral link 🙂 Great video
Aero-Swing loves your support Matt!!! Glad to know you are still using it!! We'll work on the price just for you!
Great vid Matt. Thank you for ding these for us. I'm with a few others in the comments....wondering what your opinion is on ProSndr and Dewiz. Thank you again.
Dude that’s awesome you threw the rubber ball in at the end. I’ve been thinking about a straight stick or a wrist monitor, but I think I might go with the ball and the 24$ grip aid. Thanks short game
I appreciate your honest review here! Wondering if you might do another video on putting aids/mats? I'm going to try the Devil Ball and Straight Stick! Thanks again!
i had the straight stick, couldn't get the magnet to click at all and tried everything. it came with a gaurantee so i sent it back and never heard from them in over 2 months. save your money on that one, it's a gimmick.
Ha! First I used a ChuckIt i instantly realized how it could help my release in my golf swing. I dont have one anymore but im going to order one.
I just googled swing trainers yesterday and then this video came out. Excellent as always! Thanks.
Haaa!!!! Minor detail but I love how you have the PC in the background actually on each product website as you go over them. Attention to the little details, its what separates the good from the great!!!
The one training aid I've used and liked isn't on your list. It's Greg Norman's Secret, a special glove that fits your trailing hand (right hand for most of us). About $28 bucks, available online in various places. It trains the trailing hand (specifically the thumb) to keep in a certain position throughout the swing, promoting the proper release with that hand. It works to stop wrist flipping in the down swing, promoting the trailing hand to do the proper crossover AFTER impact. It fixed my right hand action within a week of working with it. A bit uncomfortable until one gets used to it.
Super video Matt. Got me laughing at a lot of that wacky stuff.
I would just want the compression iron that has a bent shaft. Teaching you how to come in at the right angle for compression seems the best to learn with your own natural swing. That's just me though everything else is meh, maybe the devil putter ball lol I'd use that too
MrShortGame, thank you for the reviews!
I think I'll break out one of those kids balls and see if it helps my swing.
Thank you for sharing your videos on RUclips!
Anyone remember Klassy Swing Magic from back in the day? Orange Whip trainer is one I see the most in Tour Bags!
Somewhere between 3 and 5 K worth of product's you tested, nice that the $3 ball was your fav, there are many more training aids, most are too expensive for what you really get out of them, but we are all ever hopeful that one of them will be the ONE!!
They do make something like the chuckit for golf, it's called the doggie driver. it's a driver you can put a tennis ball in. I got one at a thrift store for $4 and it's actually pretty cool
Great vid ... also some of them gave me laugh ... cheers from Australia 😊
The divot board is a good one.
You should do a video on the Leadbetter StraightAway
As a long time golf nerd, I have many of these and some old school ones as well ... The Dave Pelz Putting Track and Teacher Clips, the Medicus (hinged shaft), the Momentus (heavy shaft), and the forerunner to the AutoFlex ... the legendary Whippy Tempomaster. Fun stuff, but do any of them really help? Probably not.
I’m embarrassed, I’ve spent so much on training aids. I can’t really say any helped me that much. I would say save your money and get a shot simulator, the best one you can afford. A phone with slow motion and a sky trac, gave me the best improvements that I’ve ever experienced, and that includes lessons. I have the Live View, and find it hard to use, a friend with a phone is better.
Plus, a good golf simulator set up and friends equals great fun.
Love the honest review
Why is everybody acting like this is so expensive? People pay $500 for drivers and $1,500 for irons and $75 to play a round of golf. I don't understand the logic here? If you have a training that you buy for $80 or $100 that literally lasts you 10 years how is that not a good investment if it's useful?
Quite the comprehensive video. Must have been an effort to put it all together. I like the 'chuck it' sadly, I'd never make it past the door without my 4 year old labrador noticing.
Total Tin Cup vibes am I right? I saw the Chuck It in the Thumbnail and I thought hmm. Turns out my dogs favorite toy is also my new training aid, who knew. Great Video Mr. Short Game, Thank You for the incredible job with this video. Ordered a Putt Out Devil Ball.
Very informative and love comments! Cracked me up!
What about the Orange Whip ??
I’ve got several good training aid. Medicus is great. But the best is the Swing Jacket. Forever I could not hit a driver. Never no matter what. I saw the ad for that and ended up buying it with a 60day money back guarantee. With it on, on the 3rd swing, I hit a beautiful long drive with a pro draw. Never looked back. Driver is my best club in the bag with my putter. LOL.
I have a different version of the Pure One from Sean Foley with a really tiny head and it helps. Also have a yellow knockoff of the orange whip and it's great for tempo with the driver. I was hoping you had The Golfinator there. It's one of those big hoops to guide your swing but with a belt that holds you like a jolly jumper. (It's fake but I saw an ad making fun of silly training devices. It was pretty funny)
Great video...just saved me a bunch of time. :)
DST trainer also has fantastic swing training videos on youtube. Very helpful and informative.
Could you please do a quick video on using the chuck it to practice? I took it to the park and tried it and it sort of worked
I’m rocking the gbox and swing shirt to da club this weekend
I almost died laughing several times. Thanks for the seeming honesty and the time spent on these videos!
So many that you missed. Blue Strike (similar to straight stick), Medicus hinged, Matzie Assist and The Pill for putting are among some of the better ones.
Hey partner what size dodge ball please couldn’t find it in the description ?
Thanks 😊
This was very entertaining,so the best trainer is the cheapest and not sold as a trainer awesome, 😁👍😎
Tie a handtowel to the end of an old club for speed...use a mirror for everything else.
Love this! Thanks for including Devil Ball 😁
Have you ever tried the Impact Snap? It is supposed to help with your release.
Couldn't stop laughing when you were using the football sort of thing. Haha, cool vid bro.
Honestly, this is the first positive review I've ever seen for the Straight Stick. Most videos just show the good release trigger happening every time, no matter how you swing it.
That is my experience. I have a garage full of this junk, because I’m a total nerd. Straight stick is one of the few things I’ve returned.
Could you give your opinion on the StraightAway Swing Trainer? Would love to know your thoughts.
It’s interesting that with the Tour Striker Click adapter (approximately at 6:32), you were demonstrating with your trail hand however all of this company’s videos show it on the glove hand. Frankly, all of the competitors demonstrate their devices on their trail hand.
Lol only in America, it’s like an ann summers catalogue review 😂
I bought a knock-off Sure Set on Temu for $15. They also have the magnetic device that attaches to the club face. Probably some of the others, too.
What are your thoughts on the pressure plate by why golf?
Great video 👍
I love myself these types of videos
The hanger works! It give you the sense of a squared face all the way through the swing.
I bought the swingaid. Yellow piece of plastic with 1 screw. It makes your brain think it works. Ive used them all. The best one that works that ive found...... Getting proper lie angles bent and PROPER fitting. Proper fitting is the first thing any golfer should figure out how to do. Its the difference between having a sharp or dull sword.
I like the [SKLZ Golf Tempo & Grip Trainer for Right-Handed Golfers] swing speed and builds muscle
The swing shirt didn’t help me, but, it was great for Halloween.
I love this guy wish i could go golfing with him
Love IT!
Was waiting for your review of the Dewiz watch.
Awesome video. Which range finder are you currently using?
The superspeed training videos are free to access, I just bought an adjustable weight club on Amazon for $40 which was way cheaper than the $200 Superspeed charges.
13:28 I have been looking for the G Spot for years, hopefully it will improve my golf.
Doesn’t exist
Your best advice comment was "Simple is best". Some of these "training aids" are so cumbersome and complicated that they're not worth the time (or money) to set up and use enough to make any difference or worthwhile. Many of them can be duplicated at home for free with using simple items you find around the house. The ones I like the best are ones that can also be multi purpose, such as the green ball and the chuck stick. The ball can be used between the arms and also used to check your downswing motion by throwing it at your feet. Same thing with the chuck stick. If you stoop using it, you can get a dog to play with! 😅
Hope they don't make a golf version of the dog ball-slinger, it'll cost at least $69.99
I still have and use the Kallassy Swing Trainer!
I love the stay connected shirt... one step towards a Straight Jacket when you completely lose the plot.
Orange Whip? I thought that was a popular one. This video popped up a day late. I just bought one. Coincidence?
Thoughts on golf forever swing trainer and dewiz?
The plastic hanger thing I have used an actual plastic coat hanger and just held it on my grip it's the exact same thing
I never realized there were so many .
I can remember a few more. Kalassy Swing Magic, the Medicus and one called the Swing Jacket. We golfers will buy anything...😂
Training aids are helpful, but you should only look at the one's you see pros using. They play for money and are trying to gain any possible advantage they can. I use the hangar and the DST Compressor. You can score the hanger for a lot cheaper than he showed. I did. It's also useful for a bit more than advertised,it'sgreat for working on wrist conditions. I like it for short game practice too. One not listed is the tour striker ball. I use one of my kids play balls. Great concept for feeling proper right arm motion and staying connected. The DST is a game changer. It can be had second hand for quite a bit less too.
I'm a little surprised that you're not liking The Hanger by Watson Golf. I get that it's a piece of plastic and it should probably be a lot cheaper, but I really wanted to see you give it an all out in depth review on it. I want to know what it feels like to you when swinging the club with it attached. This training aid looks promising to me. Can you go more in depth with that training aid for us please? Thanks for all the great videos and hard work that you put into them.
I love my Orange Whip. I recommend
