Training aid?

Question

does anyone know a good cheap effective training aid that can cure my slice and make me hit straight on each shot

iv been playing for 3 months on my high school team. i have my next tourny in about 1 month

Answer 1

YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED A TRAINING AID, BUT A GOOD SWING COACH OR PGA PRO AND TAKE A LESSON. IT MIGHT BE AS SIMPLE AS YOUR GRIP...........TRY THIS NEXT TIME OUT. TAKES YOUR HANDS AND PUT THEM OUT IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE YOUR PRAYING. LIKE THE ALLSTATE GUY BUT TOGETHER. TRANSFER THAT POSITION TO YOUR CLUB AND KEEP IT. TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING AND CONFUSE YOU MORE.

Answer 2

Try the sklz golf "Slice Eliminator"  www.sklz.com

Not expensive and free Video instruction from Rick Smith on the web site.

You can buy direct from the company or golf and sporting goods stores.  I like it because you can parctice by hitting real balls with your own clubs so you actually see and feel the change in the swing. It is great for the range and also indoors w / o balls just working on swing plane

Answer 3

Here is a freebie.  Stand facing a brick wall, put a tee in the ground a couple inches from the wall.  Swing at the tee with your driver, slowly at first, and build up until you can make complete full swings without your clubhead ever scraping or crashing into the bricks.  This will keep your backswing on a nice inside path going back, coming down, at impact is the closest your clubhead will come to the wall, and then a nice follow through away from the wall.  You won't slice anymore.

i'm on my high school varsity golf team, and two things that really helped my game are:

my golf pro let me use his, and it kept swinging slow and on the same swing plane so i hit almost every shot straight.

these are weighted driving aids, they kept my swing slow and smooth so i hit them solid every time.

good luck! these things got me to hit it straighter and farther so i lost 10-15 strokes off my game! (i used to shoot 90-95) but now i shoot around an 80 every time for 18 holes.
