Trademark Golf Practice Net


The construction is too weak, it's highly affected by the wind. There's a giant possiblity to hit a shot that goes "under" the net because it has not a bottom fixed to the floor.
In 2 words: Not recomended

Indoor/Outdoor Swing Groover


I realy like it. Good for begginers. The ball damaged within a month, I do not know if I can replace it. Used with long irons and woods to fix my swing and to practice keeping my eys in the ball.

TEXAN CLASSICS Swing Trainer & Warm-up Aid


This is a so-so product. I wish it were longer and a little heaver because it doesn't really evoke the feeling that it is useful. I'd rather just pick up a sand wedge and warm up with it.
The grip tool is nice, but I don't know... You have to ask yourself where will you ever use this?

Wilson Multi Sport Cage Net with Ball Return


Dont buy this golf net. It ripped in 3 different places after hitting about 20 balls. It will not stand up to the wind either.

Medicus Power Meter


I was amazed at how easy the Medicus Power Meter was to setup and get working. I followed the instructions supplied for installing the batteries and attaching it to the club shaft. Turned it on, swung the club and read the speed from the large easy to read display.
It does not show speeds below 45 mph.

Impact Label Training Kit


The impact tape does what it says it will do. Easy to apply and remove. Just wish it would magically improve my impact. I guess that is what practice is for. Worth buying.

Golf Digest Practice Net


So far this is the third net I've gone through and the best one so far. My first purchase was the Practice Golf Net & Frame by CSI Cannon Sports. On uneven ground this thing would not even stand up. Furthermore, the metal bars rusted, it would blow over from the slightest breeze despite using the ground stakes, and the bars bent using minimal force. My 2nd net was the Izzo Golf Big Daddy Insta-Net. Mine came with a missing part so my review maybe slightly biased, but even after rigging it as if it had the part I could not get it to stand. The fiberglass support bars are over-contorted IMO.

I picked this one up for $30.00, took me 20 mins to setup. The instructions are bad as with the last 2 nets I bought and assume that all instructions are for the most part cr@ppy. This one was too, but not that bad. My daughter who started golf lessons loves it and for chipping and driving it works for me so far.

Plus I scored a free subscription to Golf Digest. Free is good, but more clutter in the house and more for me to recycle.

Izzo Golf Big Mouth Instant Range Net


Difficult to set up. Difficult to keep in place. And on top of it, the net deteriorated and started breaking in 6 months. Balls started breaking the net and flying through it.

Izzo The Giant Jr. Hitting Net (9- x 7- Feet Hitting Area)


This product is made of good fabric, it sets up easily (I did it by myself) and looks good. The only con is that the ball bounces back more than I like. I used to have another net that trapped the ball.

Golf Swing and Grip Trainer™


The product is fine.
After first getting the wrong product, I finally got the right trainer two weeks later.
My only complaint was a lack of communication from the company.
The did their job but did not follow up with emails confirming the problem and resolution.

Inside Approach Flextee Launch Pad Practice Aid


This is a simple training aid that has an arched plastic base with 2 fold out rubber flaps. Alignment lines allow a user to set up parallel to the target line. A small port allows you to put in your own tees. The device folds easily and can fit into a large pocket in a standard golf bag.

Hitting the driver with your own tees is good as any other mat. However, hitting hybrids or irons has a big drawback: The noise when you hit the ball and then the plastic base. It is distracting. It does simulate hitting turf with the flexibility of the arched plastic base. The base is relatively stable but can move with contact.

This does take some abuse from contact and is durable except for the rubber flaps.

There is a better alternative on the market:
TrueStrike Domestic Portable Mat

VERDICT:

Better products exist out there. Look elsewhere.

One thumb down.

Momentus Golf- Power Hitter 310


I am a long drive competitor and I practice with the Power Hitter on a daily basis. It is a very effective device for stretching and strengthening all of the golf muscles. Also, you can hit balls with it. Because of its weight, it's very difficult to swing off plane. An excellent product.

Golf Digest Battery Putting Cup


I didn't really have high expectations for this product and it lived up to my low expectation. When I added the C batteries I had an extremely hard time getting them in and wound up using a tool to cram them in. It's a pretty large at 12 by 6 inches and takes about 10 seconds to reset after returning a ball. Also you have to hit the ball pretty hard for it to get up to the return, which actually negatively affected my putting game.
I wound up returning the item.

Club Champ Optee Golf Ball Feeder


I don't give it a 5 because it's not perfectly weighted and sometimes the balls get stuck inside and I have to kick it a little to get them moving again. Still every time after that you can get through the next 6-8 balls without having to do it. Also the arm can benefit from a little less counterweight and about a 5-10 degree more play on the way down but otherwise a great training tool..

NexStep I-Swing Golf Impact Training Bag


This is a worthy training aid for the repetitive conditioning of ball impact, best used in front of a mirror
- Quick usage tips -
1. Use it in front of a mirror
2. Fill it with birdseed instead the recommended pillows or a bed comforter.

Like you, I've used what seems like every golf training tool and become just as frustrated and self doubting.

What I like about this tool and all training bags is one of the hardest parts of the golf swing is the motion and posture at ball impact, the:
1. Forward motion of the hips
2. Keeping your posture straight
3. Feet positioned
4. Club face square at impact
5. Swinging with those arms

This bag helps you focus on all of these points and others, when used in front of a mirror you can practice your stroke and study your posture at impact. The instructions recommend using a bed comforter or pillows to stuff inside the bag (opens with a zipper), I found this useless because the bag just moved or deformed at impact.

Using an impact bag beats trying to use a golf cart tire !

ProActive Sports Pro-Circuit Putt Return System


This 9' putting green should help my short game immensley. The return mechanism works perfectly. I read a few reviews that complain about the folds and seams in the carpet. Even the instructions suggest using a bunch of phone books to flatten-out the surface. Don't listen to them!! - A regular garment IRON at medium heat with some steam works perfectly! After 5 minutes there wasn't a ripple to be found and now each putt rolls true and strait.
Great value, and the return mechanism makes it so simple to get high reps.

Golf Gifts & Gallery Ultimate Putting System


I've had this thing for over four years. I break it out once a season to hone up. Overall, it works well. The carpet is thick and more than smooth enough for the purpose, considering it's stored and shipped all folded up. Let's just say it "relaxes" into a usable putting surface. A foot b4 the cup there's a ramp to help develop an accelerating stroke. Sometimes I like this feature, other times, eh....it's necessitated by the return system. It does allow a successful putt to plop satisfyingly into the hole. Said return system does work, but fitfully. One return is the length of the mat, the next only 3 feet. I find this to be acceptable, becuz on the course you'll rarely have two putts the same length. One good thing, it's AC powered. Never go battery power with one of these puppies. All in all, I like it, it's durable, and it actually translates onto the course. More short putts fall if you practice more short putts, who'da thunk it. One other thing. I leave this set up in the living room for a couple of weeks at a time. No one seems to mind. I come home and the teenagers are trying to best each other on it. I even sidle behind the little lady to help her with her stroke....;-)

Tac-Tic Wrist


This product is very cheaply made, and did not work very well for me. My main problem with this product is that it doesn't address the core of the problem why your wrist doesn't stay flat at the top.

A flat left wrist at the top all begins with having a good grip. If you aren't gripping the club correctly, you are going to have to force yourself into a very awkward feeling position in order to keep your left wrist flat at the top. This will probably only mess you up more in the long term.

Izzo Golf Kick Back Putting Mat


1. First, the water and sandtrap cutouts' cutting outline and the actual pieces don't match.

2. Second, when the ball is returned, the machine makes a very loud, annoying, gear-grinding noise that keeps going well after the ball has been returned.

If you don't want your putting to be annoying as hell, DON'T BUY THIS CRAP!!!
