Golf Club Training Weights?

with 5 comments

I recently recieved a set of some "essential" golfing accessories. Included in the set was a golf club weight that you slide down the shaft of the club and it rests on the club head. It adds quite a bit of weight to the club. It is about 2" - 3" in diamiter. Can someone tell me more about this, and what the benifits of it are? Thanks!

All this weight will do is to get your timing off. Swing strength comes from your legs, shoulders, and stomach muscles. Work on these and you will be way ahead of the game.

  1. A weighted training club is a good idea but, unfortunately, the weight donut is a poor implementation. The problem is that the majority of the weight is concentrated at the end of the shaft, instead of being distributed throughout the club. The best type of weighted training club is the Momentus Swing Trainer or the less expensive Mastergrip Groovie Trainer.

    One problem with the donut style weight is that it adds and unusual amount of stress to the club shaft, which can be damaging to shafts, especially graphite shafts on longer clubs like drivers, woods, hybrid and long irons. If you insist on using the donut, don’t use it on anything longer than a 7 or 8 iron.

  2. I have one like that called I Gotcha. It clamps on the shaft and in different positions helps with different things. Near the grip helps with your release, the middle helps with your tempo, and near the clubhead helps with width. It can also make the club seem ligther when you’re ready to hit, so you get more distance.

  4. I have a weight and I mainly use it to loosen up, when I tried to use it to swing I found that I screwed up my swing.

    It will get you loose though.

  5. The weight should help you in making a full golf swing motion. Think of the weight as creating an instinctive motion from the take away to the top of your swing to the impact posistion all the way through.
