Top 4 Categories Of Golf Training Products

If you have ever looked into buying golf training products you will know that there are an abundance of them. Make sure though, that you know what you are looking for and for what purpose you need the golf training products. A lot of golfers end up spending vast sums of money on golf aids that just don't work for them.

Even though you don't have any major problems with your game, there is still room for improvement in some area or other. Maybe you could find a way of getting more distance with your drives or play more consistently; or maybe you should look at some golf strength training aids to help you get fit for golf.

As there are so many types of golf training products, in this article I will go over the top 4 categories that can help you. First, you will have to establish why you are in need of a golf training aid. Once you know the why you will have a better understanding of which particular problem in your golf game you need to improve.

Golf training equipment isn't the only choice you have - in their place, you could have a look at the available golf guide books (eBooks) or golf DVD's that show you how to improve certain areas of your game. Many of these eBooks and DVD's are great resources for targeting and fixing a certain golfing problem; the golf swing, golf fitness programs, golf stretching exercises, how to fix a slice, or just some good general golf lessons. If you prefer using a physical golf training aid then here are the top 4 categories:

Full Swing Training Aids: In this category you will find the most choice but some of the products might not give you a total golf swing solution. The better golf swing trainers include the hinged golf clubs such as the Refiner hinged training clubs and the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver. Other golf training clubs that can help with the full swing are weighted golf clubs like the Momentus weighted clubs, or you could try the Leadbetter Swing Setter which is very good. Lastly, a bit more expensive but certainly the best of category, is the full swing trainer by Explaner.

Golf Fitness Training Aids: These are my favorite golf aids because you will see a marked improvement in all areas of your game once you are fit for golf. The top product in this category is a range of fitness training products from the GolfGym. Again, weighted golf clubs can be used to build up your golf specific muscles and to raise your flexibility level. The Explaner not only improves your golf swing, it also strengthens your golf muscles and increases your flexibility through the use of a weighted roller.

Golf Grip Training Aids: You can't have a great golf swing without having a good golf grip, so golf grip training aids are very useful if you are not comfortable with your grip. Some of the most popular of these aids are golf gloves that are specially designed to teach you the proper grip and pressure every time and a specially shaped grip that fits on top of your normal grip. If you want to strengthen the muscles of your hands and wrists, there are also grip aids designed for that.

Putting Training Aids: As a good putting game can significantly lower your score, there are many golf putting aids to help you perfect this area of your game. Some putting aids use a laser to help you with alignment and others are used to help with the all important aspect of good tempo. For alignment, there are many putting tracks or guides available, and if you need help with the correct position of your forearms and hands, there are several braces that can help.

The golf training categories above are what I consider the top 4. There are many more specific categories that deal with the golf tempo, swing plane, release, alignment, weight transfer, impact position, balance, and short game. There is a golf training aid to suit every golfers problem area or aspect that they want to improve. Make sure you buy the correct golf training product that will help you with the area of your game that needs improving.
