My Member Review

Having never really purchased a training aid specifically for putting, I was pretty excited to get the opportunity to review the Train Your Aim aid. A special thanks goes out to TST and David Keller for giving me the chance to try it out.

Before I received the Train Your Aim training aid, I visited the website to get more info about the tool that was making its way to me. I watched the short videos and read the list of benefits. Everything seemed to be pretty straight forward and specified all that I would expect from a putting training aid.  There are plenty of videos to watch so you get really familiar with how to use it and what to look for while on the practice green.

Upon receiving the training aid, I was very pleased at the size of the tool. It will easily fit in my golf bag so I can take it anywhere. The next thing I noticed was the hard plastic material. This was also a huge plus considering it will be tossed around in my bag for the majority of its life. And lastly, the orange color will obviously not be overlooked. I really liked this aspect as well because the point of the aid is to focus on the club face and alignment. The bright color really brings this to the golfer's attention. The ease of installation gets another thumbs up from me. It takes no time to dig it out of my bag and snap it on the putter so I can start training my aim. It is also adjustable, so it's very easy to adapt it to any putter and fit the eye of any golfer.

I have always used the line on my golf ball to line the putt up with my aim points. So in my training, I just focused on making sure the putter (and point on my Train Your Aim training aid) was aligned with the ball as usual. For me, the biggest benefit to this training aid was with my stroke. The bright orange pointer would immediately give me feedback if I was coming out of the stroke or pushing across the ball. This feedback helped me greatly! In the short time I practiced, my stroke became more consistent and it helped identify the fact that my stroke was pushing to the right which also fell in line with my miss. As strong as I felt my stroke was, the training aid showed me a big flaw. I am going to work this into every practice routine until I feel my stroke is where it should be.

For the low price of 9.99, it is well worth the cost in my opinion. David has developed an inexpensive and effective tool in the most simplistic compact form.

TN94Z thank you for the review....I really do appreciate it.  I very much like you observations about the putting stroke as that is something that actually struck me the most after I had developed the training aid.  It is primarily for club face alignment but having watched golfers use it, within a few minutes you can see their stroke improve.  I certainly have improved my putting and feel a great deal more confident about that aspect of my game.

Many, many thanks indeed.

David

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
