The goods on a golf swing trainer
By Richard Myers
A golf swing trainer is a device that helps you to consistently swing
properly. There are many options available, from those that are designed to fix
your slice to those that will help you get a longer, faster drive.
Don't be fooled by the manufacturers that say their trainer will solve any
and all golf swing problems. Know your primary swing faults and focus on finding
a golf swing trainer designed to fix them. All trainers have the same purpose:
to improve your swing mechanics. The majority do this by using what is known as
'muscle memory.' The idea is that if you carry out a movement time after time,
exactly the same way each time, your muscles become attuned to it. You will be
able to execute that movement without having to consciously make your muscles
follow the routine. One type of golf swing trainer you might be
familiar with is the large, round devices often made of white piping. These are
called golf swing plane trainers. They specifically help you get a feel for the
proper swing plane for your body size. These trainers have stood the test of
time so you'll see them at a lot of driving ranges and courses that offer
instruction. Some have exercise cords that strengthen your muscles while keeping
your swing in the correct plane, and others keep your arms and legs in the
correct posture. Some do both, but remember that you get what you pay for.
Before you invest in a golf swing trainer like this or something simpler, try
it out. Most pro shops will allow you hit a few balls in a hitting bay to get a
feel for the equipment and its effectiveness. Whether you are considering a big
or small investment in equipment, have a golf pro look at your swing and suggest
a golf swing trainer. Ask other golfers what they have tried. One
thing to consider when determining whether a trainer is worth the money is its
longevity. If you consistently see advertisements for it, it's probably an
effective training aid and therefore a good buy. But, if you see people trying
to unload their used trainer at steep discounts on the Internet or at yard
sales, chances are pretty good that it was less than
effective. Once you chosen a golf swing trainer, use it regularly.
It will take some time to fix your swing faults, so give it a chance. Too many
trainers are collecting dust because their owners got frustrated and gave up on
it after just a few sessions.
