Training Aids 2018: InPutt Stroke Trainer

InPutt is a simple training tool that simply guides a golfer’s body to replicate the same stance and stroke on every putt. Made from high-density polyethylene and the result of 15 years of development, Its patent-pending curvature on a plastic mold that keeps the putter head square while maintaining the position of the arms, shoulders, and torso through the entire arc of a proper stroke. The white guidelines on the top of InPutt help to ensure that the clubface stays square from backstroke to through-stroke and every point in between, and the small heel reminds players not to take their backstroke too far.

“Players can see their putting issues in real-time, and correct them on the spot,” said InPutt inventor Barry Herbst, who built the device based on the knowledge that 80 to 90 percent of Tour players have an inside-out stroke. “As they practice with InPutt, they can continually identify and correct mistakes, and teach themselves an easily-repeatable perfect putting stroke.” INPUTT encourages what some refer to as muscle memory and creates strong neural pathways through repetition. Repetition and consistency are the keys to controlling your putt.”

It works for every length putt but especially with those crucial 8 to 12-footers. It also comes with a plumb line-like string to help dial in aim and truly groove one’s stroke.

“InPutt is the answer,” said Ted Sheftic, PGA Professional and GOLF Magazine Top 100 teacher. “From beginners to expert players, InPutt can improve your putting. My students who have used InPutt have had tremendous success. I’ve worked with junior players who have gone from 38 putts a round to under 30 putts. That adds up to a lot of low scores.”

Training Aids 2018: K-Motion

Building on the success of the original K-Vest and technology that dates back to 2002, K-Motion — which encompasses the K-Coach and K-Player systems — takes one of the game’s most complete four-dimensional motion capture protocols to new, more data-rich level.

“Moving from K-Vest to K-Coach is part of our commitment to helping every coach make their players better faster,” says Steve Diamond, Chairman of K-Motion. “K-Coach is not only our world-renowned technology but also our cloud-based platform and extensive education system for coaches to not only transform their players’ games, but also their businesses.”

The vest itself is lighter and thinner than ever, with additional sleeves for the arms and legs so players and teachers can view set-up and swing from every possible angle, including from above, and turn every motion into a target number so the student knows what moves to ingrain, which to avoid, and how to put it all together into a seamless, repeatable whole. K-Player 2.0, the company’s training-specific product for players, ensures a player practices the right movements for the right amount of time, regardless of whether they are with their instructor or alone. A coach sends a custom-tailored training program designed in K-Coach to the student’s K-Player, the player then downloads the program and begins practicing exactly what the coach designed.

A groundbreaking feature being introduced in K-Coach is Train to Your Best Swing. The process is simple: coaches of all levels auto-capture a group of swings, pick the best one or use the average of the group and then let the automated swing fitting feature convert that swing into a customized training program that guides the student to replicate and improve upon their best swing. It’s all delivered via biofeedback training and a cloud-based coaching platform that enables superior monitoring of players and connection to K-Player.

The seamless connection between coach and player extends the lesson tee, making it feel like an instructor is at every practice session. It’s a bonanza for today’s number-driven techno-geeks, though old-school feel players will benefit, too.

Buyers Guide 2017: The Greens Wizard

The Greens Wizard is a new putting aid created to provide instant, visual feedback to help train players to use their feet to feel the breaks and slopes of the green. With practice players will learn to trust their feet to help choose the correct line. While the concept is simple, the Greens Wizard has undergone two years of devel-opment to ensure maximum accuracy and it is now market ready. It is a durable product built using polycarbonate, which also allows users to clearly view the feedback. It contains a clear damp-ening fluid that highlights the leveling ball inside and, more importantly, promotes optimum accuracy. Whether a professional is looking to dial in their green reading ability, an amateur feels clueless on the greens, or a caddie is mapping greens for their next tournament, the Greens Wizard is perfect for all play levels.

Long time caddy for Phil Mickelson, Jim “Bones” Mackay, wrote in a recent article sharing his 10 Rules For Reading Golf Greens. No. 2 on the list is trusting your feet: “To get a perfect read I stand over the ball as though I’m going to hit it. I get a great sense of the break not only with my eyes, but with my feet. When I look down at the ball, I can tell immediately whether it’s a fraction of an inch higher or lower than my feet. Then I factor that in along with what I see from the other perspectives. Don’t sell your sen-sory awareness short: Amazing as it might seem, almost everyone will get information from the stand-at-address perspective that you can’t gather from reading the green with your eyes.”

The Greens Wizard was created with simplicity in mind — it’s essentially a level on your foot. You don’t need to be a tech genius to use it and it doesn’t require batteries, a smart phone or a WiFi signal — just gravity.

2016 Buyer’s Guide Training Aids

GOLF SLOT MACHINE

Still looking to hit the low-scoring jackpot? Maybe this beautifully simple and straightforward training tool — endorsed by PGA Tour pro Chris DiMarco and others — is the ticket. Golf Slot Machine helps groove that hallowed inside-out move in seconds. Dropping the club in the “slot” is within every golfer’s capabilities, and this L-shaped, foldable, portable item proves it. Many amateur golfers tend to use their upper body to swing at the ball, resulting in an over-the-top swing, loss of distance and loss of ball control. By using Golf Slot Machine, golfers of all experience levels intuitively get in the slot. It’s user-friendly with a color-coded, four-step method that eliminates overthinking your position and ingrains in your mind and muscles the motion you need for the correct golf swing. And, flip it over for a bonus —an alignment aid that gives you correct ball positioning for drivers, woods, irons and wedges. There’s no elaborate set-up and it fits right in your golf bag. $89.95

DST

DST COMPRESSOR Since we first reviewed the DST Compressor last fall, the deceptively simple swing trainer — which immediately produces the proper “get to your left side” sensation crucial to solid iron play — has picked up even more stream among Tour players, including Fabian Gomez, whose breakthrough PGA Tour win came at the 2016 Sony Open in Hawaii. Four hundred top sticks in all are packing either the originally bent-shafted Compressor or the newer straight-shafted model, which still has the “Hand Position Alignment Marker” on the top of its hose to assure optimum forward-lead at impact. The club helps builds muscle memory of an address position and optimal movement through impact. Mastering these mechanics improves accuracy and consistency, ultimately lowering scores across the board — men and women, adults and kids, scratch players or higher handicappers. $99

GOLF IN SYNC

Straightforward in design yet brilliantly effective in synchronizing and honing the swing, Golf In Sync — invented by Swedish golf instructor Niklas Eliasson — has been discovered by serious golfers worldwide. It’s particularly good for refining the short game. Golf In Sync helps a player perform a synchronized swing in which body rotation generates power and in which the arms, hands and club naturally follow the body’s motion via a long rod that connects to the upper lead arm with a Velcro sleeve on one end and to the shaft of a club on the other; that end, in turn, slides along the club to maintain the proper “L” angle going back and through. Also useful for full-swing training, Golf In Sync enhances a player’s understanding of the value of consistently repeating a successful swing movement during training and practice. It’s all about muscle memory, and this product delivers. $79

HACKERS RX

The prescription for immediate improvement is right there on the ground in front of you, and that’s why Hackers Rx is such an effective tool — it fixes any alignment issue simply and quickly, replacing those old shafts or random 4-irons you’ve been tossing on the practice tee. That’ll work for target line, but what about foot and vball position? This is a small, collapsible and portable consists of three telescoping rods and two plastic golf balls that unfold to a “T” — as in 90-degree angle — for a variety of club positions. You get immediate reference points on all clubs, and can position the Rx to set you up for a draw or fade on demand. $44.95

SWINGCLICK PLUS

Auditory cues and clues are a practicing golfer’s best friend, from the sound of the ball leaving the clubface to the even more pleasant tones of that same ball sliding into the cup. The new SwingClick Plus — an improvement on last year’s popular SwingClick — made a strong debut at the PGA Show with its still-simple approach to dialing in your swing’s timing for solid ball contact. It’s as unintrusive as it is functional, strapping onto a golfer’s forearm; it makes a clicking sound at the three main junctures of a swing — at the top, at impact and at follow-through. Muscle memory, a smoother transition and better overall rhythm results, and it works with any club — because it’s attached to YOU, not the stick. And the new Plus’s sleeker design and more adjustable strap makes it truly one-size-fits-all. It now comes in four colors, too, and slides easily into your bag so you can keep that newly ingrained tempo going as you start your actual round. The original SwingClick is available as well. $39.99

IMPACTSNAP

Invented by Kelvin Miyahira and developed by Marty Nowicki, lead instructor at Turning Stone Resort near Syracuse, New York, ImpactSnap was designed to train the wrists and forearms in three different motions that occur in a proper release of the golf club during a full swing — cocking and unlocking of the lead wrist, flexion (bowing) of the lead wrist and supination or rotation of the lead wrist and forearm without sacrificing the integrity of the flexed lead wrist. As Ben Hogan wrote, using the wrist and arms properly is a must if you want to play great golf. Once you’ve got the proper grip and pressure in place on the ImpactSnap’s specially designed flat grip and take the address position, the attached ball will be positioned below the lead forearm; by lowly moving the ball so it touches the inside part of the trailing forearm, the wrist will accomplish all three moves. Start out slowly; when the ball is near the inside or the under part of the trail arm, swing the unit back to waist high where the wrists will start to cock; the trainer’s sliding weight will will load and the yellow ball moves away from the forearm. Move both forearms forward leaving your wrists in the loaded position, once the hands pass the center of your body, slowly unlock and move the yellow ball so it touches the trailing forearm. The correct follow through position finds the barrel of the unit pointing to your ball/target line about 10 feet past your body. After a few slow swings, if pressure is in the correct places, the wrists will start to free up and move correctly. ImpactSnap ingrains what a full speed release feels like and trains motor skill patterns. It doesn’t take long to get the “snap” of it. $89

MEDICUS

MEDICUS TRI-HINGE 7-IRON Medicus got its big start in the training aid industry with the original Dual Hinge driver, a club that shows swing flaws from the instant you take the club back. Now the leading developer of golf swing training products for more than 20 years has unveiled its next-generation practice club, the TriHinge 7-iron that helps players learn and hone their shot-shaping skills. This breakthrough product allows a player to practice not only straight shots, but work on fades and draws. This club features an MA9 performance head, which better mimics the quality of clubs used on the course. The head of the Tri-Hinge has three adjustment positions marked on its hosel: Blue to practice fades, Red for straight shots and the Black alignment for draws. Its shaft also has a set-screw for adjusting break point tension. “As their game improves, most golfers want to learn to work the ball,” said the club’s designer, Mark Adams. “The Tri-Hinge will help them do it.” $149.99

ORANGE WHIP

ORANGE WHIP TRAINER No, this isn’t a brand new training aid, but it’s long been a Golf Tips favorite, for good reason: The Orange Whip quicky and efficiently ingrains balance and tempo into every golf swing — the foundations of true and repeatable power and accuracy. Just look at any Tour pro in motion, as PGA Class A Pro Jim Hackenburg did over the years, and you’ll get the concept that led him to design and produce the Orange Whip. “Most amateurs, and many pros, are very concerned with positions of the golf club during the swing,” Hackenburg says on his website. “They get lost in trying to achieve various positions they are convinced are necessary as they attempt to hit at the ball rather than swing through the ball. I took the focus away from position and their hitting action, put it squarely on their motion, and by doing so their results (and positions) greatly improved.” It’s also a solid workout, engaging the core muscles thanks to the weighted orange ball at the end of the whippy shaft. Within minutes working with Hackenburg’s Foundation Drills, in doors or out and any time of year, you’ll groove that perfect release point. It’s available in four lengths (one for juniors), and there’s a Putting Wand, too. Combine the Whip with the Orange Peel (also shown, $179) to truly dial in balance and the right swing plane. $99-$109

The Dual-Hinge Hybrid trains a player to swing on-plane, producing more consistent and on-target shots from greater distances. “Since it looks and feels much like the hybrid most people play with,” says Medicus Vice President of Research and Development Mark Adams, “the training should be even more transferable from the range to the course.”

As a result of this true feedback, users will naturally hone their face angle for a perfectly straight and on-line putt.

The momentum the weighted head creates when swinging through encourages proper weight transfer and a full followthrough for form, balance and power.

The PRO

The PRO | $59.99
swingthepro.com

The PRO is a unique swing-training device that looks extremely simple, but creates an amazing sensory feel of what a true golf swing feels like. The PRO stands for “precise, rotational, orbit,” and it helps golfers rapidly train and sense the feel of how the golf club should ideally orbit around your body. Most golfers struggle because they have learned how to manipulate the shaft. Because the golf club is rigid, any improper force put on the shaft will directly affect how the clubhead performs in speed, square-ness and path. When swinging the PRO, the rope makes it impossible to interfere with the true swing forces that you must feel to develop a sound swing. Simply swing the PRO back until it taps your upper back, then swing through to your finish. After only 10 swings, your body starts to learn and respond to the swing motion. You’ll immediately notice improved tempo, timing, balance, core rotation and overall sequence of motion. Within a month, your new and powerful swing feel will emerge, opening the door to more power, accuracy, consistency and, ultimately, a lifetime of enjoyment! The PRO has chipping, pitching and putting applications, too.

EyeLine Golf

Balance Rod | $39.95
eyelinegolf.com

Good balance is essential to consistent shots, putts, chips and full swings. Our bodies make compensations to make us think we’re in balance, so we don’t always know where our weight is truly distributed. While our bodies adjust surprisingly well to find balance, they will also find the easiest way to accomplish this balance. In golf, that could mean lifting up your head instead of turning your body—which isn’t good! The Balance Rod causes an initial imbalance that will force your body to use your legs for stabilization rather than your spine. Within a few swings, you’ll have grounded athletic posture and balance. The EyeLine Balance Rod makes it a little more difficult to stay in balance. Our bodies work very quickly to adjust. Within a few swings, without thinking, you’ll know your weakness and refine your balance. When you remove the Balance Rod, you feel more balanced and grounded than ever. Your body has learned to fine-tune itself to give you perfect balance.

EyeLine Golf

Bullseye Cup | $14.95
eyelinegolf.com

Pendulum Putting Rod | $29.95

If released properly, the SwingRite will click at the bottom of your swing. You can easily pinpoint and correct an early or late hand release. Making this correction will result in farther and straighter shots. Adjust the SwingRite to work on club head speed and tempo. No golfer should be without this training aid!
Special Features: The SwingRite is easily adjustable for different swing speeds and tempos, allowing it to be used by men, women, and juniors of all ages and levels! The SwingRite helps identify and maintain the correct wrist angle (lag) throughout the swing for improved distance and greater accuracy. Also, work on increasing club head speed by turning the steel head_ to a lower number. If you are serious about improving your golf game and hitting more consistently, the SwingRite is for you. SwingRite makes a great gift. Enter code GTHoliday10 for FREE shipping.
