Golf swing trainers and training aids for home
A training aid gives you feedback on one part of the swing without a ball or a trip to the range. A hinged trainer folds when the arms or wrists lose the position you set, a flexible shaft makes a rushed change of direction easy to feel, and a chipping mat turns short-game practice into a game for the lawn or the living room floor.

What a swing trainer does
A swing trainer exaggerates one part of the swing so that you can feel it without hitting a ball. That makes it useful in a garden, a garage or any room with space for a full swing. It does not replace a lesson or time on the range, but a few minutes of slow, repeated swings with clear feedback can help a change stick.
Hinged trainers
A hinged trainer has a grip, a joint and a short shaft with a weight on the end. The joint folds when the arms or wrists do not hold the position you set, so you notice at once when the swing has collapsed. Both hinged trainers in our range extend from about 79 to 110 cm, so you can set a length that suits your height.
Flexible-shaft trainers
A trainer with a soft, flexible shaft bends visibly when the swing is rushed or jerky. A smooth change of direction at the top keeps the shaft loaded, and the head comes through on time. Start with slow swings and build up speed gradually.
Chipping games
A chipping mat with sticky balls turns short-game practice into a scoring game. The soft balls stick to the target instead of rolling away, so you can play in the garden or in a room with space for a short swing. Our guide on how to practise golf at home in winter has a weekly plan that uses aids like these alongside a golf net.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a swing trainer indoors?
Yes, if the room is big enough for a full swing with the trainer. A hinged trainer of about 1 m is shorter than a driver, so it needs less room, but you still need clear space above you and on every side. Make a few slow swings first to check.
Do I hit golf balls with a swing trainer?
No. Hinged and flexible-shaft trainers are made for practice swings without a ball. Hit balls only with normal clubs. The chipping game mat comes with its own soft sticky balls, which are made to be chipped onto the mat.
How often should I use a swing trainer?
Little and often works better than one long session. A few minutes of slow swings on most days, before you play or practise, is a common routine. Stop if a movement causes pain.
