TEACHING AIDS
One
of the biggest complaints with traditional practice mats is they don’t
accurately simulate a natural grass surface. The Golf Mat utilizes a
patented high-tech composite spring embedded below fairway-length turf to
create the same sensation of “give” at impact as taking a divot off natural
grass. Encouraging a proper “down and through” swing motion, this new
technology mitigates the likelihood of wrist, elbow, and other common
injuries. Retail price: $199
New, too: Duffix Swing Trainer, Perfect Connextion adjustable
training aid
Trend: Teaching aids range from the wild and wacky to the sensible.
They run the gamut from a laser putting system to a device attached to a
shaft to eliminate slicing and hooking to a golf balance trainer that
enhances movement coordination.
