Sports Sensors Swing Speed Radar


My wife and I both enjoy this device. It works well and does exactly what it should do. I'm very satisfied with this product, but I can't say that I'm satisfied with Amazon.com.

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....;-)
