Best golf training aids: Swing speed training

Face it, seeing the professionals bomb their drives every single Sunday has all of us wanting to hit it farther.

While the vast majority of us won’t be hitting 300-yard drives, or even 280-yard drives, everyone has the ability to get longer. Yes, even you.

Managing expectations is a big part of golf. The same goes for gaining speed. It won’t happen overnight, but with a plan, it’s something achievable for all.

Whether it be a lack of speed, poor putting, the dreaded short game yips and shanks or whatever ails your game, Golfweek is looking out for you. We’ve curated some of the best products to get your game headed in the right direction.
