There are a million golf training aids out there. I'm sure at least some of you have tried some of these gadgets at some point in the past, or perhaps are s...

PA-PLAYA I have one of these. It's not to feel lag; in fact, you're not supposed to use it with a full swing and it hurts your finger if you try to do so. It's more about holding the hands in the proper position for pitching and chipping, forcing you to use your body correctly and not get "wristy."

I disagree. Maybe not so much about the feeling of "lag" in the swing, but the proper wrist-angle position at impact, whether it's a full or half swing.

Norman himself invented this. His words, his teachings, not mine. And in this promo video he actually demonstrates the use of his training aid during a driver swing (11:30 minutes in).

PA-PLAYA We're basically saying the same thing in different language. That's what I meant "holding the hands in the proper position" at impact. The thing that surprises me is that he is using this with a full swing. I've tried this a few times and, like I say, it is tough on the finger. Maybe if I got the swing exactly right it wouldn't. Thanks for sending the video along.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a wrist-brace type training aid for full swings, as I can definitely see where it could create some discomfort. You've tried it, so I'll graciously defer to your feedback. 🙂

PA-PLAYA By the way, for what it's worth (or for you young readers BTW FWIW), I think this is a really good trainer and a lot of people could benefit from it. I don't know how many people I play with who flip their wedges. This gizmo really forces you to hold that angle and use the body/turn with pitches and chips. I use it quite often practicing my short game in my back yard and it has really helped.
