No.

These are like video to me, but the video is better feedback because it is based on visual feedback, not a software program. I can see their value as to path and face ...

Traditional training aids help cure an issue or offer a feel.

I would tend to go traditional aids and video before the mini-trackmen if I had an order of priority.

I have a Medicus 7 iron that works well when I remember to use it.  I have alignment rods (from Lowe's), and swimmer's noodles that I stick over the alignment rods to help remember to swing from the inside.  I have the Orange Whip which is great for tempo....damn, starting to sound like a used golf store.

I second the video camera.   Whenever I have a lesson, it is the most useful teaching aide.   Check out Michael Breed's book , "The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing".   It goes into depth about using a video camera setup and use.

I have a tour striker and I like it. It showed me that, sometimes I have my hands to far ahead  of the club head at impact. If your a flipper, there is no way you'll hit the ball with this club. It will teach you to   swing  the club with your  hands ahead of the club face at impact.

By gosh, I Must review all the training aids I have. I have a Tour Stryker sand wedge and it does help. If you're off in the slightest, it will go left, it will go right, it will run on the ground. If it goes left or right, that usually means I'm using my hands instead of my body. If it doesn't get in the air, that means you hit below the grooves

Video might be better but the data isn't as easily accessible.  Here are some numbers (sand wedge) SkyPro provides

Swing Club Speed (mph) Hand Speed (mph) Tempo Ratio Backswing (°) Half-Back (°) Half-Down (°)

Swing 19 70 20 2.4 : 1 -38 -67 -50
Swing 21 72 21 2.5 : 1 -44 -73 -50
Swing 22 71 20 2.7 : 1 -46 -72 -51
Swing 23 74 21 2.7 : 1 -45 -73 -55
Swing 24 76 19 2.5 : 1 -47 -81 -57

I think the mini-trackmen are good and up and coming, but it's a matter of priority and the needs of your game. Hey, slow that tempo down to 3:1!

Agreed, I have lots of needs in my game.  I'm working on the tempo, those were first swings with the SkyPro, which is one of the areas it's helped.  My backswing is slower and overall it's helped my club position of backswing and downswing.

Swingbyte is good at measuring the club head speed, but that does not always translate to ball speed.

Guys who are recommending video cameras... what kind of video camera are you using? Is the iPhone sufficient?  Its convenient to use but it seems like I might be able to analyze better with something that can slow down my swing a little more.

We have a long thread on video cameras. The iPhone is workable for the backswing, but not the downswing - you lose too much.

It's a personal thing, but I'm just not big on training aids(excluding a camera which to me is not a true golf training aid) I mean cmon....or maybe alignment sticks (which is) but I fool around with some members stuff on the range at the club. Mostly all weird gadgetry junk to me. I messed with this one guys thing and it was simple but seemed kind of cool and I noticed a couple hacks that started using improving their swing a lot.. In terms of tempo and swing synchronicity.. It seems pretty effective. Called an: Orange whip?

I have an Orange Whip.    The weight and counter weight on the handle make it heavy enough to help with the tempo of the swing.   It's not too heavy and allows the user to feel a swing.   Like all training aides, it's personal but I like it and swing it frequently.  I believe it works.

    • I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
