Driving Range vs. Golf Training Aids

Iprwire Staff Writer asked:


What makes a good golf training aid, one that professional golfers would not scoff at? It is a fair question, given the sheer number of supposedly valuable tools offered on the market for golfers. The answer, however, is a simple one once you understand what you are looking for and ignore the advertising hype surrounding products that may not be beneficial, but in fact hinder, your training in the sport. The perfect golf training aid is one that does what it promises to do, without any more costs associated with it, and is easy enough to use that it won’t be abandoned weeks after its purchase due to frustration levels.

For many players, the driving range is the place to go when they want to get some serious practice in. Unfortunately, there can be a few problems with that.

First, there is the problem of getting to driving range. Many people these days simply have too many obligations and responsibilities to devote two or three hour periods of time to use exclusively for practice, directly affecting your game. When you can finally find the time, family, friends, and social engagements often demand that we use it with them and not honing your skill on the greens.

Another problem with the driving range, once you have managed to spare the time, is that the mats they provide are often made of inferior materials. This may not sound like a major problem, but it can actually harm your game if you are not careful. In simpler terms, if your feet are not connected to the ground in the same way as they would be grass, your body will have to make minute, yet vital, adjustments to keep you on balance leading to the chain of reaction mechanism that we have all heard of in the past. In many of these cases, we are actually teaching ourselves how to hit incorrectly under the assumption that we are learning to do just the opposite. This important factor is necessary to figuring out what type of golf training aid matches as closely as possible the conditions you will be playing under.

Lastly, a big problem with driving range mats is that they do not allow you to adjust the rubber tee that is embedded in them. For those of us who use dig drivers, like the 460cc, that is unacceptable. These bigger drivers demand that the tee be set to a certain height. A one-height-fits-all approach in this case will be devastating to a player’s drive.

These three elements should be used selecting the right golf training aid for you and your game. J.R. Mats, Inc. has developed a truly useful and beneficial golf pad called the Country Club Elite T-turf

Can you manufacture a low tech golf training device for profit?

SyriusStar asked:


I have an idea for a Golf training device that is low tech, but fun and sure to help many improve their ability to drive the ball with strength and accuracy. It can help improve technique faster because unlike compuiterized saimulators this lets the golfer be as natural as they would be on the tee. It can help dads and moms work with their kids in the privacy of their home without worrying about who is watching. Not costly to manufacture, but income potential can be great. With our way of life being bombarded with computers, I think stepping back and doing something a little more retro can strike a cord and get more people active. The thing is that can low tech trainers compete with computerized high tech trainers?

Can somebody help me to edit the following two golf instruction paragraphs?

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

enco asked:


I am writing a short commentary on particular golf training aid and English is not my first language. Can somebody please help me to bring these two paragraphs in digestible form?

“The point of impact—the moment of truth—is the hearth of every golf stroke. If somebody has a heart disease, one cannot simply treat some peripheral organs, like for example livers or kidneys, and expect that the hearth will automatically be cured. Of course, it is important that these organs are healthy, as they can also affect the heart negatively. However, if there is heart disease, the heart has to be treated DIRECTLY.”

“Any golfer that understands that, as for any valuable thing in life, some effort, some austerity is necessary. A beginner has a lot of space to improve his average point of impact radius. An accomplished player can improve it maybe for two or three millimeters. This brings more constant feeling at the impact and consequently more trust in ones shot.”
