Swing training aid, any suggestions?

[Mark_G]

Gentlemen, I struggle with my swing and would appreciate it if you could suggest training aids that really work. Thanks very much.

How about a pro not too cheap but have always worked for me............

It all depends Mark. Anything specific you struggle with?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Start with lessons and see what the pro recommends. Hard to suggest anything without seeing the swing or knowing what you're working on

Well my golf pro says I need to try and concentrate on my tempo, I struggle with getting everything linked together, but I am getting there slowly and would like something just to help me along a little faster.

Unfortunately, in my experience, nothing really will quicken the time it takes to bed in changes, the only thing that makes it easier is to hit balls and balls and balls.

Stick with it, I am in the same boat and after 3 weeks am beginning to see improvements.

Down the range twice a week, and playing at the weekend, but thinking if there was something I could use at work or at home, just to keep the movement going.

I use the tour tempo cd when I need to slow it down. Really helps me get a good rhythmn

Like Homer, I use tour tempo.
It know comes in a very handy App on both Android and Apple.

Is there such a thing for a Blackberry?

Just downloaded Tour Tempo after coming in from the range, I might make it three nights in a row tomorrow night and try the drills out. It looks quite simple which I guess is the point of clearing everything from your head and just getting into the groove. Thanks for suggesting this and I will post back with how I get on.

Oh my goodness, three nights on the trot at the range, but this time with tour tempo, not sure what it was, but it seemed to work, I was on the slowest track but it allowed me to clear my head of distractions and also try to feel what I was doing. What track do you use Homer? By the way, I have been taking a different club to the range each time, along with my pitching wedge, 100 balls, 60% with the club, 40% with the wedge, swapping from one to the other after about 20 balls. Is this the right way to do it or should I stick to one club all the way through?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I started off on the slowest tempo (27:9) but my natural swing is the middle one (24:8). I tend to use any club really but find a mid iron usually works pretty well. I've had good success with my driver too as I'm guilty of getting way too quick and trying to lash it

Hmm..I can't really afford the £15 Tour Tempo app...But I'm wondering whether I need it in my life.

Sure sounds like it!

Surely you can do the same thing with a song in 4/4 with the right bpm?

Arguably but the TT gives you six different tunes per speed (27/9 24/8 and 21/7) and it saves the faff of finding something with the right bpm. I got mine burned from my teaching pro
