Golf Performance Aids: Gimmicks or True Help for Your Game?
The deep supply of golf training devices has exploded along with the increasing popularity of the game itself. From direct response TV to radio spots, to golf magazines to the internet – direct response presentations for golf training aids come in all shapes and sizes.
While these different forms of sales presentations offer keen insights as to what golfers are want and what they are willing spend their hard earned money on – they also highlight the plethora of companies whose primary goal is ‘profits without fulfilling on the promise’ (mind you – not all of them are like this).
However, it serves no purpose to cast widespread judgement, or criticize the companies, as a group, and people behind these golf device pitches. I believe you are intelligent enough to know what you are witnessing when watching these types of offers. But here’s what golfing insiders, and wise players, do agree on…
Regardless of the integrity or validity of an infomercial grade, golf-training aid (and there are DOZENS and DOZENS of them) – none can compare to what the results of a well rounded, golf-specific stretching plan does for your body, your health and ultimately – your game.
You can try to groove your swing ’til you faint, you can try to change the mechanics of your faulty swing ’til you drop, you can swing a weighted-club until your back and arms cramp up, but none of this activity will enhance the natural range of motion and ability of your muscles and joints to recover and recuperate – between every hole and between every round.
I’m not against investing new Golf Clubs or an intriguing new golf training aid – but it makes absolutely no sense to do any of that until you’re properly giving your body the one thing it truly needs most: natural flexibility and range of motion.
Don’t be one of those golfers who gets this the ‘hard way’. Don’t wait until a little tweak or a muscular twinge turns into a nagging, painful chronic cramp – that develops into a game stopping injury “that just hit you out of the blue.” (physical therapy pros love golfers like this – great for their business).
Countless golfers, ranging from full-time tour pros to once-a-week duffers, have been in this situation at one time or another in their lives. And although it’s more pronounced in ‘older’ golfers, the effects of an ‘out of shape’ body can also destroy a young golfer’s body and golf game as well.
Reality is, the most effective way to enhance your game is not with another “breakthrough” golf training device, but rather by sticking to a golf-specific stretching exercise routine.
Improving your functional body enhances your physical abilities, in all aspects. Strength & power, playing endurance, muscle recuperation time and injury reduction & prevention are just a handful of the undeniable and much appreciated benefits you’ll get.
There’s no need worry about your age either. It’s never too late to start a properly structured golf stretching program for flexibility and core conditioning.
