Are there any training aids on the market worth taking a look at.?Many of them seem like HUGE GIMMICKS, but are there any aids worth taking a look at? I appreciate the help.

I use two ... well one really. I have a Weighted club by Donnay, but other manufacturers make them too. It's just a short club with a weight on the end. It doesn't sound much but it really helps you get your lower body working rather than hitting from the waist upwards, which is the disease of most amatuers.

The second bit is where a take off the weight at the end of the club and tie a 6 feet length of ribbon to it. The ribbon drags through the air enabling me to see the swing plane more clearly.

I have just tried the Swingyde - result immediate straightening of my shots, which had been to the left.
Advice - whichever training aid you use only use it until you can see improvement in your golf. And then repeat the action without the aid.

I've got the Qmotions system coming in - I'll post a review when I've tried it.
