Whether you are a novice or a pro, you need to ensure that you continually develop your technique and enhance your skills. Many people think that they can only train when they play golf, but that is not the case. In fact, there are many aids out there that will help you hone your skills quickly and easily. Let's take a look at just five of them.

Many golfers struggle when it comes to making the perfect putt. Often, this issue is a case of trial and error, but there are some aids that you can get to help you along the way. If you have trouble squaring the base of your club behind the ball, you should try the Swingyde Training Aid. It is crucial that you hold the club right before you attempt anything else. The beauty of this aid is that it will help you get things 100% right before you line yourself up for a shot. 


The aid will help you to get comfortable holding the club in the right position. You need to know how to best grip the equipment before beginning to golf. Use the aid at least once a day when you receive it. That way, you will see the best results for your efforts. The Swingyde will help provide the best position every time. That means that you will not have to spend too much time messing around with the club. When practicing using this device, you will find a natural balance while using clubs.

If you want to improve your game, but don't know how, try the Zepp Golf 3D Swing Analyzer. This little gadget is an excellent way of working out what is going right (and wrong) with current techniques. The device comes in the form of a sensor that you wear on your hand. Luckily, the sensor is relatively light, which means that it doesn't weigh the hand down. The sensor uses high-tech motion-capture technology to see how each  swing performs. It sends all this information back to an app on your iPhone with a review of the player's results at the end of the game. 


The in-depth insights received from this technology means that you can improve your game one step at a time. Using the data, you can see how accurate each swing was and how you could have improved your golf style.  Replay and review of each swing using the app  should give you a chance to see where you need to change styles. This gadget is like your personal instructor - it helps along the way so that you enhance your skills every time you play.

3) Orange Peel Balance Trainer

Every golf enthusiast knows that you need to balance your core when you are preparing to tee off. If you find it difficult to find the best position for your stature, consider getting this rather sleek gadget. The Orange Peel Balance Trainer is a high-tech device that will help  prep your stance before you hit the ball. When training, you should stand on the concave surface so that you can find the right balance level for your weight. This surface is a little like that of a sloping golf course, which means that it is the perfect place to practice. 


When you first stand on the device, you might feel a tad uneasy. Don't worry, you will soon find your gravitational core. Once you have your balance, you can start to line up the putt. The device also prevents swaying when you swing, which means a steady motion is achieved from start to finish. Nothing could be easier.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju Put On Quite A Show

Before I talk about the thrilling finale of the 2026 Players Championship, I wanted to highlight Sudarshan Yellamaraju (Titleist Pro V1). Yellamaraju is a landed Canadian immigrant – I’m a Canadian by birth – and his hometown is Mississauga, which is where I am based, in the west end of Toronto. Up until last week, Yellamaraju was known only to the Canadian golf community, and even then, it was probably a limited audience. That will no longer be the case. His cover, so to speak, has been blown after he finished tied with Ludwig Aberg (Titleist Pro V1x) and Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5X) for fifth.

Scottie Scheffler Is Clearly In A Slump

What’s wrong with Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1)? It’s become increasingly obvious that the world’s number one men’s player is clearly frustrated. He’s been showing visible signs of it for several weeks, but the most glaring example occurred after he bogeyed a makeable putt on his final shot of the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. After picking up his ball he threw it into the water. There was a noticeable murmur among the crowd, almost teetering on booing.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?
