What\'s the most useful or best golf training aide you\'ve bought.
 

None really for me as they've all been gimmicky. Don't know if it counts but the 2-ball putter has saved me probably 2-3 putts a round.

My first thought was, "a shag bag."
But that's a smart ars answer....

but I've bought a bunch, and all have served some purpose, but none stands out as the best.

Ever heard of the "Pivot Maker?"

I have always said the Momentus is one of the best training tools out there, but I haven't payed a lot of attention to what is currently out there.

a heavy club. swing it 100 times a day in the off season and it does a great job building up golf muscles.

You can by weighted clubs, but unless you intend on hitting balls with one, you can just make one. I had an old dunlop circa 1990 driver in the basement and drilled a hole in the top and filled it with nuts and bolts and duct-taped the hole.

Works fine for the golf muscles, helping reinforce the slot, and also for warming up before hitting balls.

You can take it from a guy who teaches 10 lessons daily, there are good and bad training aids, however, it is necessary that once you find a good one you use it correctly.

For example, the medicus, the one that breaks down if you make an incorrect swing, I can keep that club in-tact and make a horrible move, I can also make a text-book swing and break it.

Weighted clubs are great to loosen up with but they won't do too much for your game.

I like balance disks a lot and this device called the power-angle pro. I'd post a link about what it is and how to use it but I'd probably get flamed for Spam as it's from my companies' website.

Completely disagree.

Weighted clubs used properly will do some good things for your swings, trouble is the average golfer still uses them incorrectly. You just can't pick up the momemntus and swing it around and get better. I really don't like the feeling you get past impact with these clubs.

Here's what I'll do. This week I'll go in a swing the weighted clubs on video a few times and post the swings here, we'll see if they're any different from my normal swing.
