The offseason may not be the prime time for improvement, but it’s when many of the best golfers make their biggest gains. With fewer rounds in the calendar, there is finally time to focus on things that are put aside during the season: speed, tempo, mobility and putting.
Many of the best players in the world rely on training aids to get there, and they often use them in the same places as you and I: the garage, the gym, a sim room, even the backyard or living room. Training aids are here to stay, and there is no better proof than the sheer number of top players who use them.
Below is a look at some of the most popular training aids you can get today PGA TOUR Superstore.
5 training aids to help your game this season:
The Stack System
The Stack has quickly become one of the most popular speed trainers in golf, and it has some serious cred behind it. It was developed by the biomechanist Dr. Sasho MacKenzie and Ping engineer Marty Jertson, and US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick used it to build the speed that helped him win at Brookline. The training club uses five ground weights that combine in 30 settings between 0 and 300 grams, which means it is a progressive system that makes you faster over time. The Stack app comes with workouts guided around your speed, with sets, reps and rest times laid out for you. It also tracks your earnings over time and includes access to Stack Putting. If you want to go all out, there’s a Radar Stack you can take to monitor your speed gains.
Use this training aid if: You’ve lost some distance over the years and want a structured, data-driven plan to get it back.
TheStack Hardware is designed for golfers looking to optimize their swing speed through a highly engineered training system. Product details: 5 ground Stack weights allow 30 combinations of weights between 0g and 300g Dual-purpose weight case / phone holder Highly engineered training club available in Adult (41.5″) or Junior (38.5″) versions (see Fitting Juniors) Stack training requires a speed device that can measure oscillations with Stack Recommen without ball to influence Bluetooth connection without Radar.

Why Golf Pressure Plate
Solid contact begins to enter your driver’s side before impact. In fact, most fat and lean shots come from missing that move. The Pressure Plate is a platform you stand on that only tilts when the pressure actually changes, so it takes the guesswork out of whether it’s moving correctly or just rocking back and forth. It’s simple to set up in a garage or backyard and gives you clear feedback on every rep. It is also on sale now.
Use this training aid if: Fight fat and lean shots, or feel like you’re leaning on your side of the track through impact.
One of the biggest keys to making consistently powerful contact is learning how to get to your driving side before impact. Attacking the middle of the face, without hitting fat or thin, compressing the ball … they are all directly related to entering your lead side well. That’s why we introduced the Power Wedge of the Pressure Plate. The Power Wedge provides an incline for your trailing foot that teaches you the sensation of properly activating your lower body. The better you can load in your leg of the path, the more power you can generate and the easier it is to reach your first side (think: throwing a ball). Add speed and consistency to your golf swing by learning to change your pressure effectively without swinging.

Orange Whip Trainer
The Orange Whip is one of the most trusted tempo trainers in golf, and has been for years. A counterweighted, flexible shaft and end-weighted ball make it nearly impossible to swing well if your rhythm is off, so it gives you instant feedback every time. The full-length Trainer more closely mimics the feel of a driver and encourages a patient transition, which helps build delays and reduce excessive movements. It also doubles as a great stretching and warm-up tool. If you are at home or in tighter spaces, the Mid-Size version is a great alternative.
Use this training aid if: Your swing becomes quick from the top, or tends to come over the top when you try to swing hard.
Orange Whip Trainer The Trainer is the longest and most demanding version of skill, we recommend the user to be over 5′ 6″. As the skill increases, the height of the user becomes less important, but strength and athletic ability are still important. The Trainer is more like the movement that you feel when you swing a driver. The Trainer provides the most improvement of movement and flexibility. in the transition to avoid swings “fast” and the common swing “over the top” The correct transition leads to the development of Lag The Trainer more emphasizes a fluid swing (Ernie Els like) in the development of Tempo and Balance. In addition, the Trainer is the longer version, therefore more difficult to swing indoors and in confined spaces.
