What Is The Best Weighted Practice Training Club?

At VGS Golf, we often get asked all of the time "What is the best practice training club to use as a training aid?"

These players are usually looking for more distance and are surprised when they start hitting it straighter as well. After using many different weighted golf clubs with our students, we have found that the best practice training club is Golf Gym's Club 38.

Golf Gym's Club 38 is a weighted club which weighs approximately 2.4 pounds. Unlike many other weighted golf clubs, the weight of the Club 38 has an exclusive design which distributes the weight as it would be in a standard golf club, with half of the weight towards the bottom third of the golf club.

Benefits of this full swing training aid which is the best practice trining club are:

· The weight being in proportion to a standard golf club, the club will give you a realistic feel of what your golf swing should properly feel like.
- You will learn to swing the golf club on the correct path.
· Increased strength which will lead to more distance off the tee and with your irons.
· Improved balance which will also lead to more distance off the tee and with your irons.
· Increased flexibility or range of motion which will lead to more distance off the tee and with your irons.

What Does Sliding During My Golf Swing Mean?

Can you tell me what "sliding during my golf swing" means?

This is a good question and one many people do not understand. A Slide in your golf swing would be defined this way: Any extra lateral movement of the lower body towards the intended target during your downswing. There are training aids that can help you with this such as The Transfer Station by Izzo Golf. Read more articles on the how not to slide during your golf swing or how not to sway in your golf swing at VGS Golf.

How Do I Stop Slicing?

How do I stop slicing the golf ball? I do it basically every single swing. I has gotten really frustrating. My friend who is a good player tells me that I have a reverse C on the end of my swing. Are there any training aids that would help me stop slicing the golf ball?

If you are in fact ending with a reverse C position, then you are not properly shifting your weight. There is a golf swing training aid that could help you with your full swing and it will also better your putting as well. The Shift Station By Izzo shows you how to properly transfer your weight on your backswing and where your weight needs to be on the forward swing and finish!

Putting - Hit Solid Putts

I can feel that I keep hitting putts on the bottom of my putter. I know this is not right. How can I hit more solid putts and improve my putting?

Typically when this is happening with someone's putting it is one of two things.



First - check you ball position. The ball should be in-line or just in front of your sternum. When my students have this problem the ball usually gets to far forward.



Second - place your hands just ahead of the ball at address and make sure they return to the same position at impact. You should be able to keep the angle that your right wrist creates through to your finish.





One of the golf training aids to help you with this challenge is the Putting and Chipping Brace

Should I Use A Weighted Practice Club?

I am a long time golfer and never really taken lessons. I have a 16 handicap but I now have the time and would really like to improve my handicap. Would a weighted practice club help me?

First let me say I am glad that you are excited about becoming a better player. I would suggest finding an instructor that you like and easily communicate with. Not to take lessons all of the time but someone that could check you once a month and then decide from there if you need more or less. To answer your question I believe the answer is YES! A very informative article, Benefits Of A Weighted Practice Club, has been written about the benefits of using a weighted practice club and I suggest using the GolfGym Club 38 or GolfGym Club 28.

Putting Training Aids

I am looking for some advice on putting training aids. After recently reading "The Art of Putting" by Stan Utley, I have improved my putting by using more of an arc as opposed to my old straight back and straight through method. Are there any putting training aids that are specifically designed to help you with more of an arc stroke?

Yes! In fact I have two suggestions for you.

1. Putting Plane Alignment System by Eyeline Golf - The PUTTING PLANE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM is designed to give you instant feedback on all areas of putting alignment. THE PUTTING PLANE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM allows you to putt exactly as you would on the course. Just as if you had your coach standing with you, the mirrored surface allows you to check that your eyes are over the ball, shoulders are lined up, and putter face is square to your target. The inside rail, adjustable to fit any putter and is slanted at 72 degrees, allows the putter to come slightly inside as it moves back and up during the stroke. The PUTTING PLANE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM is lightweight yet tough and will fit conveniently into your golf bag.


2. The Putting Arc Deluxe - This putting training aid is a beautifully finished solid wood for indoor or outdoors use. The Putting Arc Deluxe is a revolutionary new putting training aid, which will guide you to a simple, repeatable, and understandable approach to putting. The Putting Arc Deluxe will assist you in developing a confidence while standing over your putter that is felt by only a small percentage of all golfers. This is a confidence to putt the golf ball exactly where you intend. The Putting Arc Deluxe works because it guides the putter head in pure planar rotation about an axis which passes through the golfers spine between the shoulders. This means that the hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders all stay connected throughout the putting stroke. The Putting Arc Deluxe golf putting aid has radial lines on its top. This important feature shows the correct clubface alignment at each point in the putting stroke. This alignment is just as important as the club head path! The Putting Arc Works Because
1. The Putting Arc Deluxe is based upon natural body movement which can be quickly learned and repeated. Results can be seen in several days and thousands of repetitions are not required to show improvement.
2. The clubhead travels in a perfect circle and the projection of this circle on the ground is an ellipse in the shape of the Putting Arc Deluxe.
3. The putter is always ?on plane? (the sweet-spot/spinal pivot plane). The intersection of this plane with the ground is a straight line, the ball/target line.
4. The club face is always square to the above plane and it is only square to the ball target line at the center line of the Putting Arc Deluxe. You are learning an inside to square to inside putting stroke.
5. In this perfect putting stroke, there is only one moving part. The hands, arms and shoulders rotate as one unit and no manipulation of the hands or arms is required to follow the correct path with a correct clubface because it happens automatically.

What Is The Best Practice Club?

I was wondering what you thought the best practice club available is to help my full swing. Are these weighted practice clubs any good?

Great question!!! Some are and some are not. I would recomend the GoflGym Club 38. It is approximately 2.4 pounds and although that does not sound like much, it will work you out! It is one of the few clubs that is weighted in porportion to a real golf club. The extra weight will stregthen your golf muscles as well as improve your golf flexibility or range of motion. The extra weight of the Club 38 allows you to feel where the club "should" be as opposed to where you are currently manipulating the club to go. :) Let us know how it goes!
