Homemade swing aid

2 bucks...that's too rich for my blood. Yes I have taken it to the range with me and I don't have any friends so, no, I don't get laughed off the range. Honestly, I think when the average golf guy see's me, he pee's a little. I was thinking of building it out of pvc but didn't have any 3/4 inch T's or 90's, so hell man its so easy to just bend a peice of wire with the results being the same. I bet that picture has insired many a hacks like me to bend them a coat hanger.

So if we were both side by side on the range, you with your nice pvc and me with my coat hanger I bent to shape in less than 30 seconds, you think people would take you more seriously than me?

Honestly, I think it’s the most ingenious and most cost effective approach to this product I’ve seen yet. If I had one I think those who would laugh at me on the range would go home and bend a coat hanger themselves.

[quote=ubizmo]I took a skanky old blade 5 iron I had in the garage and a length of concrete reinforcing iron rod that was also in there. I duct-taped the iron rod to the club shaft, from the handle right down to the club head. Voila, a weighted swing trainer club. I didn't weigh it but I'm guessing it weighs 5 pounds.


Excellent - I tried the BB method and the weight difference with the club was negligible. This may be owing to the kind of BBS I used. I will try your method later today!

I've seen sand used effectively for a weighted club.

I've also seen cement used - but it makes for a very, VERY head heavy club. The guy finished filling the shaft with cement, but it was almost too heavy for him to swing.

i welded a 5/16s metal rod onto a head, works well but a tad bit heavy....say 10 pounds hehe
