Using a golf training club is a great way to improve your game during the season as well as train muscles and create more flexibility in the off season. Weighted training clubs work best because they allow you to feel what the club is doing throughout the swing as well as help keep the club on a better swing plane.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Weighted golf training aid

    How to Use a Golf Training Club to Improve Your Game

  1. Step 1

    Grip the weighted training aid. Most training aids have a premolded grip to ensure the correct hand placement on the club.

  2. Step 2

    Set up like a normal golf shot. Training clubs are shorter, so it is not necessary for the club to reach the ground. Taking the normal set-up position should place the club 6 to 12 inches above the ground.

  3. Step 3

    Swing the weighted club at half the speed of a normal golf shot. With the weighted club it will be easy to feel how the club is moving and force your swing to be on plane with a proper release at impact.

  4. Step 4

    Swing multiple times with the weighted club until you have a good feel of the swing motion.

  5. Step 5

    Take a regular club and hit balls trying to keep the same feeling that was created with the weighted club. After hitting 5 to 10 balls go back to the weighted club and repeat until your swinging motion feels the same with both the weighted training club and the regular club.

Tips & Warnings
  • Using a weighted club is a great way to warm up before playing a round of golf. Use a weighted club in the off season to improve your swing.
  • Make sure there is plenty of room to swing the training club. Don't swing a weighted club at full speed. Stretch before swinging the weighted club to prevent injuries.
