Improve your Golf Technique

Even the most dedicated golfer won’t be seen venturing onto the driving range on a dismal, winter’s day, despite the fact everyone knows practice is key to swing perfection.

It is for this very reason that indoor golf practice aids are a must-have winter accessory for any golfer. However, the range of equipment available is vast; so how do you make your choice?

Top of the wish-list has to be that your training or practice aid gives instant feedback. Without feedback practice is futile because the whole point that weaknesses need to be identified and corrected is missed. What is the point of hitting an immovable object? Yes you get to practice, but how do you know how you did? You can study science or art and revise for your exam to your heart’s content, but if someone doesn’t mark your exam paper and tell you how you did, how will you know which areas you need to improve on?

If you really want to improve your golf swing, fine tune your action and add power and accuracy to your shot then you need to look for something that allows you to take full swing shots and physically hit the ball so that you can actually see for yourself what happened with your shot. How accurate was it? Was it a push or a slice? Draw or a pull? How do you really know unless you can see for yourself? Computer based practice systems are all very impressive-looking and high-tech, but be honest, how can a computer animated impression of your shot be any substitute for the real thing?

Another thing on your checklist for the ideal indoor golf practice aid is that it can be set up in a small space and safely used in the house, garage, hotel room or wherever it is you plan on using it. You will also benefit from it being light and compact when packed so it is easily transportable.

So summing up, when choosing your indoor golf practice aid to get you through the winter months, these are the main things that should be on your checklist:

1.    Does it give instant feedback on my shot so I can see where I am going wrong?

2.    Does it provide fixes and advice to correct my inaccuracies?

3.    Does it allow me to take real, full swing shots that look, feel and sound real?

4.    Can it be set up in a confined space?

5.    Can it be used safely indoors?

6.    Is it light, compact and easily transportable?

If the product ticks all of these boxes it is a sound investment and by the end of the winter when you are back on the course you will be glad you read this article!
