Swingyde Summary
Besides being pronounce 100 different ways, the Swingyde is an apparatus that attaches to both the handle of the golf club and your wrist. It is endorsed by Jim Flick and is very popular in Australia. It might be a surprise to some but a lot of times the difference between medium and good players is using the wrists correctly.
Is the Swingyde effective?
The Swingyde helps with many aspects in the swing. It is probably better suited for better players. It is recommended for use in conjunction with lessons as it can be complicated. Once you get the hang of it, the Swingyde has the ability to help the tempo in your swing. It also prevents too much cocking of the wrists. This is great for consistency but might decrease power.
How much is the Swingyde?
The Swingyde can be purchased online for $29.99.
Is the Swingyde a good value?
The Swingyde is a clever golf aid. It is available with an instructional DVD by Jim Flick, which is an added bonus. Once you understand how to use the Swingyde, you’ll see the consistency in your swing shoot up. It is not a scientific breakthrough but very respectable.

Golf Training Aids
The Sybervision Golf DVD is one of the best-selling golf training aids of all time. It's based on principle of muscle memory. Essentially, if you watch the "perfect" golf swing over and over again, your subconcious tells your body -- your muscles -- what to do.
The Sybervision method was discovered and developed at Stanford University. It's been endorsed by dozens of athletes from various sports. If you were a golfer in the 80's, you've undoubtedly heard of this program. If you're part of "Generation Y," such as myself, then chances are you haven't. I "discovered" it in a Golf Magazine at my Dentist's office. America's Top 100 Golf Pros voted on the best training aids of all time. Two out of the top three were Sybervision. So I decided to give it a shot and have no regrets.

My second pick is the Medicus Dual Hinge Driver. It helps correct two key components of a good golf swing: plane and tempo. It helps you get rid of that slice and it helps you hit the ball longer and straighter.
If you haven't seen the Medicus Driver, check out the video on the manufacturer's site.
It's essentually a typical driver with two hinges. If your takeway is off plane, the hinge breaks and you won't hit the ball. The same thing happens if your try to crush the ball, helping you perfect your tempo.
I bought my Medicus for $200 about two years ago. Since then, the prices have dropped. You can get it for about $160. They're even offering a free trial. For more info, click on the links below.
The "Simple Golf Swing" is my favorite Golf eBook available. If you're a technical learner (such as myself) and not totally lost (I was VERY lost), then this book is a great choice to help straighten out your ball flight.
I got a lot out of my "Simple Golf Swing" purchase. Not only does it detailed pictures of every step of the golf swing, but it also includes video with great side notes. Plus, it recommends dozens of great drills with video examples so you know you're doing them right. After all, only perfect practice makes perfect.
If you have the time and patience to study and truly learn the golf swing, the "Simple Golf Swing" eBook is a great choice. It's the cheapest of the three recommendation at only $47.00 and it's an instant download.

This is an excellent training aid which can be transferred to any standard golf club. Personally, I just use it on my middle to low irons. Als0, I combined it with my Momentus club a few years ago. I have one on the older clubs without the grip trainer. Momentus now advertises and sells this training with the Momentus…they stole my idea
