8 golf training aids that'll actually help take strokes off your game
GolfMagic breaks down the training aids that go beyond the big promises and deliver proper results for your game.
With winter golf just around the corner, many golfers are once again facing the prospect of stashing their clubs away for the next few months.
But that doesn't need to be the case. In fact, a season working on your game in new ways could be just the thing your golf needs. And thanks to the best golf training aids on the market, it's never been easier to get a certain area of your game dialled in (often without ever having to leave your house).
Once seen as just a little bit gimmicky, training aids have come in leaps and bounds over the last decade, with ex-pros and players alike thinking up innovative ways to help covers improve everything from swing sequencing to putting consistency. Many have found their way into the kit bags of some of the world's most respected pro golfers, and some can even be seen on the range and on the practice greens at major championships.
Plenty of training aids out there come with big promises attached, but very few deliver meaningful results for your game. As such, we've put together a bulletproof list of tried and tested training aids, beloved by pros and amateurs alike, broken down into sections to help improve every aspect of your game from tee to green.

The best golf grip training aids
GOLF-GRIP Grip Trainer
Price: £19.99
Golf grip trainers tend to be a little too much at times, however GOLF-GRIP's original grip trainer takes a refreshingly simple approach to installing the perfect grip into your muscle memory. The winner of a FIT Sports Design award, this simple piece of moulded soft-touch rubber snaps on easily to any of your existing golf clubs and works whether you use an interlock, overlap or baseball style grip, making it perfect for refreshing your grip or pulling out when warming up on the range.
At under £20, it's a steal.
Me and My Golf True Grip Training Glove
Price: £18
It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but this training glove from the much-loved coaching boffins at Me and My Golf nonetheless delivers results if you're not confident in your grip. Providing real time sight and touch feedback through your palms, fingers and backhand, the true grip glove will gently coach you to a perfect grip every time with additional training videos also available to get the most out of the experience
The best training aids for sequencing and ball striking
Eyeline Golf Speed Trap 2.0
Price: £105.58
The perfect all-in-one trainer to address both ball striking and club path, the Eyeline Golf Speed Trap provides the formula for the perfect impact in a single convenient aid. The removable foam speed rods guide the club through the ideal path to help eliminate hooks and slices, while the unbreakable polycarbonate base will withstand all manner of punishment and help you dial in your ball striking.
Sure-Golf The Connector
Price: £109
Rory McIlroy was famously videoed using one of these a couple of weeks back – The Connector from Sure Golf is an all-in-one tool providing feedback on arm placement throughout every stage of the swing, combining an arm connection ball with in-built alignment rods that keep you engaged from takeaway to impact.
The goal here is to keep the ball locked between your arms throughout the swing, engaging different parts of your body for more power and eliminating flying elbows, chicken wings and just about every other arm fault that's liable to creep into the golf swing. The result is a better-synchronised swing, optimal sequencing and more effortless power every time.
It's worth noting as well that Sure-Golf also make two other well-regarded swing trainers: the Sure-Set, which helps train your backswing and transition, and the Sure-Strike impact trainer.
The best training aids for swing speed
SuperSpeed Golf Speed Sticks PRO
Price: £229.99
Overspeed training systems, which use weights attached to golf shafts, have become increasingly popular in recent years, helping amateurs and long-driving pros like Bryson DeChambeau unlock new realms of speed and better sequencing on the bigger swings.
The SuperSpeed Speed Sticks system, used and endorsed by Padraig Harrington, is one of the most comprehensive overspeed training aids on the market, with an Inertia Matching System that allows you to customise the sticks to precisely match your driver. The in-built torque and load zones, on each stick also help you load the club more efficiently, promoting that sense of effortless power that only pros seem to be able to generate.
The best training aids for putting
WellPutt Putting Mat
Price: £149
Most avid golfers agree that WellPutt have perfected the strangely finnicky art of the putting matt with their own take on the training aid, creating a 13-foot mat that, while a little larger than standard putting mats, is full of useful prompts and feedback illustrations to help you become a petter putter. The unique material perfectly mimics the sensation of putting on a medium-fast green, while the included app has tons of useful drills and tips to help you dial in both your alignment and speed.
PuttOUT Putting Mirror and Gate Set
Price: £49.99
Sets like these are a common sight on PGA Tour practice greens, giving players instant feedback on alignment and path throughout the putting stroke while giving players a target to get their ball rolling on exactly the right path every time. PuttOUT's set has 6 pre-set widths for practicing a huge range of shot types, while it's also incredibly lightweight and has a protective case that'll stash away into any golf bag.
PuttAIM+
Price: £137
Billed as the #1 putting aid employed on tour by both coaches and players, the PuttAIM is a futuristic device that uses a focused laser light to deliver instant feedback on alignment and roll with every putt. Both easy to set up and able to be used on indoor mats, simulators and even real-life putting greens, the PuttAIM is made from 100% aluminium and will get you aligning your putts better, making square contact more often and, hopefully, sinking more putts.
