Golf Training Aids: Way to Become Consistent Golfer

The best golf training aids are those that help you commit the RIGHT golf swing movements to muscle memory and do not ingrain poor golf swing habits. Given golf's complexity, the more simple the golf training aid the better. The purpose of this article is not to recommend a particular golf training aid (there are way too many golf training aids to discuss and most simply do not work) but discuss the key categories of golf training aids you should consider and evaluate with help from your golf instructor.

� The Grip: a proper golf swing begins with the grip. Consider a golf training aid that helps you establish the proper grip while placing and aligning your right and left hand on the grip in the correct positions.

� Golf Swing Alignment: You can have a perfect golf swing, but will always miss your target if not aligned properly. You can always use you golf clubs as alignment aids on the practice range, but there are a host of golf training aids such as "alignment sticks" on the market that are inexpensive and can be used for other purposes from checking your swing plane to guiding your putting stroke.
