what are some cheap training aids that people use.

Fibreglass driveway markers from Lowe's or Home Depot. A couple of bucks each and they are great for a number of things like alignment, swing plane etc.

Search "reflective staff" on the Lowes website to see them.

I agree. They are cheap, have tons of uses, and save your clubs from sitting on the ground getting dirt all over your grips when using them for alignment. I saw a bunch of them in use on the range at the Zurich Classic this week. One guy (didn't see the name) shoved one down into the hole in his grip and was making swings with it. Not sure exactly what he was doing that for, maybe to insure he was keeping his hands ahead of the club.

I also have a foam ball, about 8# in diameter, that I squeeze between my orearms and swing with to help me get the feel of keeping my upper body connected. Cost me about $4. Works just like a $40 Impact Ball http://theimpactball.com/
