I am looking for a good swing aid to bring to the dome this winter and would like to know what is the best swing aid to help with swing consistency??? I tend to be very inconsistent with my shots...some shots pulled, pushed, hooked, sliced.

my favorite swing aid is something called the swing sock, which goes over any iron and velcros over the face. basically all it is a weight but it helped me gain club head speed for distance, and due to the extra weight helped me get a better swing rhythm and swing path. i often get the club too flat and with the extra weight i cant do that, so swinging with that a few times helps me keep the club on the right plane.

Well I was thinking of buying something from the internet, but there are so many sites stating theirs is the best. Just looking for people who actually purchased something they really think helped their game.

If you're hitting the ball everywhere, the first step is to develope a more consistent path.
The most basic aid for this would be a heavy club. You can load up a shaft with sand and plug the butt end, or if you want to buy something, The Momentus works great. It also has a formed grip. Once you get a consistent path, then you can work on the clubface.

A very good swing aid is a video camera.

LOOK at what you are doing wrong. Most of the time you can see for yourself.

If you cannot see what's wrong.. Then put your video on a site like swingacademy

And someone else will tell you what you are doing wrong.

Technique is everything.

Mirror is a good and cheap method of working out where your inconsistencies are if you don't have the resources/access to a camera.

You could also try spending time on indoor launch monitors. It may take time to find an accurate/decent one though...

i am also looking to buy a swing aid for the winter. I am a 20 handicap and i dont have the same swing plane with my short irons and wedges, driver and long irons. I hit alot steeper with wedges and short irons than with long irons and woods. I dont think i can afford the leadbetter swing aid. Do you have any other suggestions on how to improve swing plane with all clubs. Maybe someone can explain how a heavy club or a bag of sand strapped to the club will help me improve swing plane.

Well I got my Ledbetter swing setter for $100 total including shipping. Check ebay out and you might be able to get them cheaper. I heard the heavy club does work because it forces you to be on the correct swing plane if you want to go a cheaper route...and maybe the same effectiveness. I will let you know how I like my Ledbetter club.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?
