Training Aids
Mike,

While reading your thesis I was considering how common training aids would or would not be effective. Any training aid that falls into the category of secondary awareness and learning the feel of the proper procedure would be effective. I'm thinking of training aids that are used in conjunction with actually hitting a ball.

Some aids such as the tic-tac for auditory awareness of the left wrist collapsing would not distract from the primary procedure.

The inside-approach device which is fundamentally an preventative device which is an obstacle designed to prevent an off-plane motion. Primary attention on this device tends to be in the avoidance of making contact with it, and feeling the motion associated with that avoidance. The successful outcome would be a change in the path of the hands, but most people are never consciously aware of that change, only the change in the total motion.

How do you suggest golfers use training aids to change their procedure?

Fantastic post Mike. Thanks for sharing!
