Make a Golf Swing Training Club for $10

Eh
My understanding with regards to the swing speed trainers is that the head weight is much lighter rather than heavier. So, instead of the standard 200 gram headweight of a driver, for instance, the headweight starts at 150 grams. The exact weight, I can't remember, but, you get the idea. Lighter rather than heavier….at least the more recent ones.
Ohh this reminds me of a lead tape experiment some years back, but I would change my grip from short ( weak) > mid ( normal) > long irons ( strong) ,
I have used a 100 gram reg/stiff flexed 3 iron for this and yes it is great for learning flush the shots.
Someone with more experience, please explain why people do not install the training grip on their normal clubs? As our guy here states, using that trainer grip, "at the very least tells you that your hand position and grip is correct."
Many years ago I had built myself a homemade heavy club to practice with. I used a steel bar from Home Depot, had a small hole drilled in the bottom, and glued in an old 4-iron clubhead into it with a wood dowel. I painted it red, and attached a training grip in a neutral position. The thing is heavy, and I mean HEAVY!! While I can't hit balls with it it has allowed me to learn to make a solid backswing, and reach a good impact position. Ten or so really slow swings is all I need to do with this club.
Grand idea. Tks for the video.
would it be the same if using counterweight in the butt end instead of the heavier practice grip?
Breaks my heart that you're using a Takomo as your "old club that you don't use anymore"
The purpose of speed training is not to learn how to hit a ball. It is to train your brain and your body to go faster. Then you dial it back to get the precision required to hit the ball. You will end faster than before the training.
Where would you place the lead tape on a 3wood?
Years ago I wrapped some lead tape around the shaft of an old first generation metal head driver to practice with. It increased the weight of the club but didn't help my distance. LOL
I think you might have misunderstood why you do swing speed training. It's not about ball contact or ball flight or any feedback whatsoever.
love it! I'm doing this!
Great idea! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks Ajay. I have a heavy swing trainer club to loosen up. Also a putting tool that shoots the ball back at you.
Great idea right there! Thanks AJ
You can not be serious AJ
The DST COMPRESSOR is used by over 400 touring pros world wide and 25 major tournament winners. Where have you been?
Scheffler and Shauflee both warm up with an iron with that training grip .. I don’t think they add weight to it.
Funny… I did the exact same thing a few months ago with an old 8 Iron and some lead tape. It’s been the best training aid I’ve ever used so far, and promotes a consistent swing.
