Golf Training Aids Power SwingFan

Golf Power SwingFan

$79.99 (was $99.99)

The Power SwingFan is one of the easiest and most effective products for increasing distance and control available anywhere because it produces maximum resistance at impact. Pick up this golf swing fan trainer and you’ll be on your way to a better swing technique, longer drives & lower scores. The Power SwingFan works using air resistance. The four-finned design produces maximum resistance right as you swing through impact. Unlike weighted clubs – YOU do the work! Because the Power SwingFan golf swing speed resistance trainer stands up by itself, it is much more likely to be used than stuck in a closet. It looks so inviting when you see it that it begs to be swung. Regarding how much, how hard and how often, think of it just like lifting weights. Swing it to exhaustion every couple of days. Since this golf swing power trainer has the benefit of increasing strength, you want to break down your muscles and allow them to rebuild. You can swing very aggressively and a typical workout routine might be to start with 2 sets of 25 reps swinging at about 70% effort. After a week build to 3 sets of 30 reps and you can start firing harder through impact. We also suggest swinging left handed for a set so you don’t overbuild one side of your body. The Power SwingFan has two primary sizes men’s and ladies (junior available too) with the ladies fins being a little narrower. The ladies’ model is suitable for anyone over 5 feet tall and provides is used by some men who want more speed training than strength training.

Unlike some of the other golf swing speed trainers on this list, the Power SwingFan uses air resistance, leading to maximum power at impact because you’re doing all the work — so no slacking allowed!

Thanks to the four-finned design, you’ll be using the power of resistance to slowly build up your swing power and technique, ultimately leading to longer shots and lower scores on the course.

It’s up to you on how hard or how casual you want to go, so snag this trainer and put in the work to see positive gains!

Impact Bag

Impact Bag® by Dr. Gary Wiren

$54.99

The Impact Bag® is shipped unfilled. You will need to fill it with towels, shirts or other cloth material. Every player attempts to get the club on line & square at impact. A breakdown of the left wrist and collapse of the leading arm at that moment are two of the most common problems faced by players of all skill levels. Impact Bag® is one of the most popular training aids of all time for the following reason – there is only one moment of truth in the golf swing – Impact! This golf strike bag teaches the correct position and feel at that moment. Unlike hitting a car tire or other hard object the Impact Bag® is safe and has been designed specifically for golfers. Developing a strong left side while turning into the ball will help eliminate many of the inconsistencies brought on by left wrist collapse & will help bring you into a solid, assertive impact. The Impact Bag® golf impact trainer also comes with a special slice cure supplement, guaranteed to cure your slice in 60 seconds. Using the Impact Bag® in conjunction with the Perfect Swing Path Board (for swing path & setup) you will develop virtually all the elements of a consistent, repeating, and powerful swing.

Easy to use and convenient to store, the Impact Bag is one of those golf swing speed trainers that every golfer should have at their disposal.

Not only does this tool help you increase your speed, but it also works on keeping the club on line and square at impact — which will ultimately lead to longer and straighter shots.

By using this training aid, golfers of all skill levels will learn the correct position of the golf swing, providing you the feel that will allow you to hit flusher shots on the golf course.

GolfForever Swing Trainer

$199.99

GolfForever uses an intuitive app and golf-specific tools like the GolfForever Swing Trainer to optimize flexibility, strength and movement patterns for your swing.

Want to use the exact same training device that major champion and world No. 1-ranked player Scottie Scheffler does? If so, then the GolfForever Swing Trainer is the speed trainer for you.

Unlike some of the other options on this list, what I like about this GolfForever option is that it provides a personalized training routine for you to develop your body to gain speed in the golf swing. So it doesn’t actually have you swinging a club at all, but rather allows you to gradually strengthen key muscle areas that will provide more power as you play.
