Golf Nut, do you use swing trainers of any sort, and which ones do you recommend? I have been trying to decide whether to get one but I can’t decide if it would really help my golf swing or just be a waste of money. What are your thoughts?

Interestingly, I have received this question quite a bit lately. It just seems that a lot of golfers are considering or thinking about golf training aids, especially swing trainers of some sort. I have two that I use and I will talk about both.

I don’t advocate a lot of swing trainers. Basically the golf swing is difficult and a lot of the swing trainers that I've seen are either too complicated to work or they can actually mess up your golf swing.

The two swing trainers that I like are the Momentus and the Kallassy Swing Magic. You can get more detailed information by clicking on this link
Momentus, or this link Kallassy.

The Kallassy is, in my opinion, the simplest and most effective golf training aid for helping with the slice. If you are slicing and, especially if you come over the top on your downswing, you might want to consider getting this swing trainer.

Because it is simple in design and easy to use I really like the Kallassy. It doesn’t force you to try and master the perfect mechanics of the golf swing, but it really helps you get your swing path going the right way.

The Momentus focuses on helping your golf swing in a slightly different way. It is a weighted club and really helps your consistency and distance in your golf swing. Like the Kallassy, it is simple in design and to use.

I have used both of these for years and swear by them. In fact, I almost panicked last year when my wife straightened up the closet where I keep my golf clubs because I thought that she had thrown both of these training aids away. But she had just put them in my golf bag. Whew!

There are probably other good tools out there, but these are the two that I use and really believe in. I hope that helps!
