There are so many golf training aids on the market promising 4 more yards or 20 more yards or 50 more yards. If you buy 3 or 4 of these gizmos, you should be a scratch golfer in no time. Fat chance! The real benefit of buying a gizmo is that you are paying attention to specific areas of your swing. Unfortunately, your golf swing is a complex set of motions where one fix may only be part of your complex solution.
Example of a new Putting Gizmo:
Recently I saw a new gizmo which claimed that it would make you a better putter in 2 minutes. Actually the claim was that you would improve your aim in 2 minutes. The gizmo was a pointer that you attach to your putter shaft to improve your ability to point the putter face directly at your target line. Unfortunately the putter face lineup is only one of the steps to make a putt. That gizmo had no impact on all of the other critical issues to possibly sink your putt:
1/Develop a feel for the speed of the greens.
2/ Understand the anticipated break based on the slope of green.
3/ Choose the right target line.
4/ Know the right amount of back-swing needed to hit your ball 12 inches past the hole.
5/ Avoid swinging in an arc as the pointer face will constantly change directions.
5/ Hit your ball dead center on the sweat spot of your putter.
6/ Keep your eyes focused on the ball instead of a pointer as it arcs around your body.
7/ Avoid side spin by swinging directly up your target line at the point of impact.
A pointer on your putter might help if you have a problem lining your putter face up to your target point but I can’t imagine that there are too many people who can’t do that without a pointer. I am also seeing grips with a ridge on the grip to help you match your grip with the face of your club. Give your brain a little more credit than that.
That pointer gizmo is actually just a good wake-up call to fix your putting stroke.
