Golf Nut, I’ve seen several golf training aids in magazine and TV ads. What do you recommend to help work on a bad slice? Do you have a favorite?

I’ve tried a lot of different golf training aids over the years and most of them are gathering dust in the corner of the garage. But I have two that I still use today that I feel have helped me really improve my golf swing.

The first is the Kallassy Swing Magic. This golf club really helps to groove a swing path from the inside which not only eliminates a slice but can add a pretty little draw to your golf shots. It’s easy to use, comes in a 5 iron or driver model, and has a video. How does it work? In simple terms, this golf training aid keeps you focused on bringing your right arm (for right handers) back to your side on the down swing. It also helps with finishing your swing while rolling your wrists over. See it at http://www.swingmagic.com/.

The second training aid that I like is the Momentus weighted club. This golf club also comes in a five iron and driver version. They are slightly shorter, weighted versions of those clubs. The clubs also come with a good video on how to use them. Swinging these clubs as instructed allows you to really feel where your swing path is and to practice the correct mechanics. This results in getting your golf swing on the right path and building it into muscle memory. See this great golf swing trainer at http://www.momentusgolf.com.

I don’t recommend using either Momentus club until you have either worked with a pro or used something like the Swing Magic successfully. You don’t want to drive bad swing habits into your muscle memory.

These two tools have helped me, along with some regular golf lessons, to eliminate my own slice and really improve my golf swing. Combining solid golf tips with training aids can really drop your golf scores.
