The Golf Swing Aid Blog

Posted by Steve Snead

Welcome to the golf swing aid blog…..

If you’re a mid to high handicapper, or totally new to the game of golf, and are looking for some golf swing aid for your game……then you’re in the right place.

With such a vast array of equipment, books, articles, videos and on-line information available to you, it is easy to end up spending literally thousands of dollars on this sport, a lot of those hard earned dollars are just going to be wasted.

Trust me…..I’ve been there and done it. I have hundreds of golf swing aid books, a shelf full of Golf Swing DVD’s. I have a garage full of golf swing aids and gadgets. Some are great, but some border on the insane! My wife, (Who has patiently stuck by me over the years, during my goal to become a scratch golf player…and who has a pretty decent golf swing herself), suggested that I pass on my hard earned knowledge, to those of you out there that are looking for sound, scientifically proven, advice. To help improve your golf swing, your overall game and thereby, both your scor and your handicap.

My intention is to provide you with golf swing aid information from a variety of sources. We are going to give you the best tips, advise on the best golf books and DVD’s, show you the greatest golf swing aids and devices. We’ll look at golf swing speed and how to achieve it. Golf swing tempo and how to get it. The long game, the short game, putting. Pretty well eveything golf, but only information that is PROVEN to help improve your swing and/or your game.

Here we are, living in the internt age. There are news articles that only appear on the net. Music is sometimes only purchaseable as a download. Likewise, there are a couple of excellent golf swing aid books, that are actually not for sale in book stores but instead are only available as E-books! (Call me old fashioned, but i’m sure I could find a space on my shelf for ‘Just one more book’) A fantastic example of this is the ‘Purepoint’ book, which is why I’ve include it it on the sidebar (That picture on the right), so that you could easily check it out. In my humble opinion, this golf swing aid book, beats many others ‘Hands Down’

Wherever possible, in any blog where a specific product is discussed and shown. I will endeavour to provide a link to that product, at the BEST AVAILABLE PRICE! That’s right……..

I’ll Google search the best prices, so that you don’t have too. Now isn’t that a weight off your mind?

In conclusion…..Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to drop me a line, with any thoughts, comments or suggestions.

Your Golf Buddy….Steve Snead

Maybe you think it’s about time to break apart from golf. You may love the game, but you are frustrated because no matter how much practice you put into the game, it just does not seem to improve. Maybe you’re already a fair player but you’ve hit a plateau and can’t break through it. If these scenarios are your situation, then you should continue to read. We will talk about how golf swing aids may just be the solution for you.

There is no shortage of golf swing aids on the market today. Golf is an expensive sports as well as a hobby. Golfers spend some big money on products if they can improve the enjoyment of the game. You and the manufacturers of these products know this. Also technological advancements make golf swing aids more beneficial.

Different kinds of golf swing aids emerge. Some golf swing aids claim to fix just about any issue with your golf swings. For example, there are aids that can help you to align your swing. Other aids may help adjust your wrist and arm position throughout the entire range of motion. You can even get golf swing aids that ensure that you take advantage of a full range of golfing motion. Golf swing simulators help you to improve your power and accuracy. Other devices may act as driving range simulators. These devices have sensors that tell you how far and straight your shots are.

Visit your pro shop and have an expert evaluate your golf swing should be your first step before investing in any of the above tool. Learn from some professional before considering buying any of the advanced tools. Only after that, you should visit your pro shop and ask for advice to fix your problems. Don’t feel pressured to buy it right then and there.

Perform some research before investing your hard-earned cash. One of the easiest ways to do that is online. Because there are so many products and golf is so popular there are many sites devoted to it. People share their experiences freely about what golf swing aids have helped them and which ones are not just as good.

If the golf aid that was recommended to you overall has positive feedback from other golfers then you may even be able to buy it online cheaper than you would at the pro shop. If the product didn’t fare too well in terms of positive reviews, just ask around for the best alternative. You can do further research into that product.

I can’t believe I get this excited a bout a piece of yellow plastic, (though be warned it also comes in black!).

The swingyde, as well as being the simplest of golf swing training aids, is also one of the cheapest, next to Dave Pelz’s P3 Balls and the iPhone Golf Swing Tempo Application. It WILL help you increase impact speed, ensure correct swing path, help you develop a late release of the club head at impact. If you are a slicer it ‘may’ cure your slice. Now I say may, because there are a multitude of possible causes for your slice.

There’s a sense of huge disappointment when this thing first arrives at your door. Upon opening the package, you get a cheap looking piece of plastic, a wing nut, a second rate sweat band, and a short Jim Flick video describing the use of the Swingyde…..Do Not Be Fooled!…..

This is a MUST HAVE golf training aid. Particularly if you suffer from ‘Casting’ or not being able to hold your wrist angle for a late release through the impact zone. Both of which will absolutely kill any chance you have of both, attaining swing speed, and thereby, distance.

This simple device attaches quickly to any club in your bag. As you make your swing, the aim is to get the Swingyde to rest on your wrist both through the backswing and the follow through. Ensuring perfect club head alignment and swing path. It also serves as a visual guide at the halfway back position, where your club should be parallel to the target line with the club face pointing to the sky.

It fits easily in your bag for a trip to the range. It’s light. Fits any club, lefty or righty! And it’s plastic! (Or did I mention that already?) So get your Swingyde Training Aid Here!

Jim Flick Says….

“In my 57 years of playing and 43 years of teaching I have never seen a training tool like my SWINGYDE to help train golfers of all abilities to swing their club on line, every time. Let me share my discovery with you !”

Here’s an Amazon Review that I picked out

A. Kid’s …Amazon Review

First, I will admit that the price is outrageous for this simple little piece of plastic (and the included DVD, which you can watch in advance on YouTube), but I tell you what, this thing absolutely does what it claims to do! After just a couple of practice sessions (swinging in the back yard), not only am I swinging on plane, but I am able to detect other swing flaws (like cranking my hips too early which opens the club face). Over a short period of time, I feel like I am naturally “in the groove” when I swing, and I am thinking less about all of the mechanics. This thing definitely helps to create muscle memory and the natural (and correct) feel for the golf swing. On my first golf outing after working 10 minutes for 5 consecutive nights with the Swingyde, I played the best golf I have ever played. My club face was square and I connected with the ball better than I ever have. (I generally shoot in the 110 range and on this last round, I scored 98). If you are handy with tools, you may be able to rig up something like this product, but for the rest of us, spend the $25 and get “on plane”. If the rating scale went to 10, I would rate this product a 10.

Trust me on this one. This is another Golf Swing Aid Book that you must add to your collection. It’s a Vintage Golf Classic, written in 1957, that still stands the test of time. Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons, claims that…..

“THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80.”…

This particularly, will suit those of you who are new to the game, and are seeking clear and detailed instructions on the fundemantals of the game. With excellent diagrams throughout. This book concentrates on creating a repeating swing that you can take to the course.

Bill Noesges of Kansas Says this about it….

GET THIS BOOK !!!
Repeat GET IT NOW and it will, without a doubt IMPROVE YOUR GAME and outlook on golf 10 fold! I have had and read this book like a bible over the past 3 months and I will tell you unequivocally, It is simply the best book on what makes a golf swing a TRUE golf swing. I have been a golfer for 20 years and through all the articles I have read, any lessons I have taken, none have come close to breaking down what the mechanics of a golf swing truly are.
This book takes you from the start to a finish of a solid fundamental golf swing. As every individual has their own style, I would recommend once you learn these basics, make your own minor adjustments to suit your own physical limitations due to factors such as flexibility and body size.
Now I have to tell you, I am slow to comprehend and grasp new ideas but once I catch them, if they are indeed true, I embrace and preach upon them like a priest in the church. This book is a true awakening for a golfer and what it takes to make a real golf swing.
The amazing results of this book and what a golfer actually experiences when making a true swing as a result of the study of this book are absolutely astonishing. You should make this book your BIBLE to a great golf swing. The results you see (and feel) will leave you in total awe of how simple a great golf swing is and how easily it can be accomplished.
I endorse this book 100% and promise you will not be disappointed. Indeed you will be delighted and your game will see the dawn of a new day.
5 ***** book. A MUST for every golfer

Golf Swing Aid – Talking Balls!

Posted by Steve Snead

I just love these balls.

They allow you to practice practically anywhere, and are the official golf ball for ‘Urban Golf’ competition.

What’s great about them is that you get a third of the actual flight of your real golf ball. Thererfore, you can make your backyard practice meaningfu,l in terms of distance, while at the same time, keeping your word to the wife, that you won’t be breaking any windows.

You can even draw anf fade them. Way better than those awful whiffle balls, that give you next to no feed back.

AlmostGOLF Point3 Practice Golf Balls feature:

  • Solid core of cross-linked foam creates enough weight (13.5 grams) for limited distance performance
  • 1/8 mm dimples for true trajectory and flight
  • Solid core and internal pressure simulate real ball flight
  • Travels approximately one-third the distance of a normal golf ball
  • Perfectly balanced for true spin, trajectory, accuracy
  • Extremely soft, making it backyard safe
  • Out-performs wiffle and blown plastic balls
  • So do yourself a favour and try these Dave Pelz Almost Golf Point 3 Balls. Even our cats love ‘em!
