![]() ![]() I always can tell if “a player” has these in the bag. If you don’t think alignment sticks qualify as a golf training aid AND can help your power game you better think again. Then, when you pick up your own driver and hit a tee shot, you can expect to add 7 to 10 mph in club head speed instantly, translating into a tee shot flying 21 to 30 yards farther. When you swing the Speed Whoosh several times in a row at speeds of 20+ mph faster than your own driver, this action activates the fast twitch muscle fibers and readies them for action. These fast twitch muscles lie semi-dormant until they are activated by an action that moves them faster than normal. “Roughly half of the muscle fibers in your body are slow twitch muscle fibers and the other half are fast twitch muscle fibers. I’ll give you the exact blurb they have on the Momentus site which gives further information on it’s benefits: The main purpose of the aid is to train your “fast-twitch” muscle fibers. Personally, I just like to leave the ball at the club end. You can really begin to feel if you are releasing the club properly by doing this. The ball can also be used as a timing device in that it can “set” at the grip end (it uses a magnet) and when you swing it the ball releases, ending up at the other end of the club. ![]() The Speed Whoosh is a device with a super whippy shaft with a larger, plastic ball attached to the end of it – to give it even more whip as you swing it. Expect to hit it another 20-30 yards with the simple program. PS: There is a terrific (very specific) power program listed in our book, 101 Ways to Increase Your Golf Power, that combines the Golf Swing Fan with the Speed Woosh below. If you make 20 swings right-handed also do 20 swings left-handed so you keep your musculature balanced. Note: Make sure you are training BOTH sides of your body. Start out with some nice, easy swings if you are not warmed-up and build more speed as you continue. This, too, is a pretty intense exercise so please make sure you are warmed up before going all out. Feel the “lag” you create when you swing it. Don’t try to muscle it by lunging with your upper body. The important idea is to swing the golf fan on a regular basis. It’s basically a handle with 4 large, plastic fan “blades” protruding that create air resistance when you swing it. The golf power swing fan is one of those tried and true golf training aids that seems to have been around forever. The ones listed below are the best, in my humble opinion, to develop your power game. I’ve seen more than my fair share of golf training aids in my almost 15 years of golf blogging. ![]()
