There are a lot of golf swing training aids on the market. Some are quite effective and some are not so effective. The effective ones are categorized by a simple definition: they actually work. That is, they truly provide for the enhancement of a set of golf swing skills. While it would be impossible to truly catalogue and endorse every golf swing training aid on the market, here is a brief list of truly effective golf swing training aids.

Right Grip Gloves

These gloves provide for excellent golf swing training aids. The purpose of these gloves is to align the player's hands with the proper grip position on the golf club. Without proper grip alignment or positioning, how good could ones swing be? These are must-have golf swing training aids.

Putting Arcs

Putting Arcs are golf swing training aids that are overlooked by most novice golfers as they dismiss the put as an easy golf swing that requires no true skill to master and allows for improvement of one's game without much effort. Putting arcs are wooden devices that act as a buffer between the golfer and his putter. Putting arcs are perfect alignment training tools.

Swing Jackets

Swing jackets look like bullet proof vests. If you show up on the range wearing one you may confuse the other golfers into think the SWAT team has shown up on the range.

All kidding aside, swing jackets are excellent golf swing training aids. They swerve the same purpose as the aforementioned "Right Grip Gloves," but serve to correct alignment on the entire torso. (Hence, they are jackets and not just gloves) Swing Jackets are somewhat bulky and take a little time to get used to, but they are worth the effort in the end as your golf game will improve dramatically. Swing jackets are very valuable addition to the world of golf swing training aids.

Inside Approach Clear Path Device

This device looks like one of those goofy splits stretching devices found in health clubs and gyms. (You know, the devices covered in dust because NO ONE uses them.)

Well, someone found a use for them when they applied them to their golf game and game up with another addition in the golf swing training aids catalogue. In short, the Inside Approach training device helps develop a golfer's swing so that it follows a 'clear path.'
