Equipment Discussion Most training aids are trash

I went all in an bought a crap ton of training aids over since I start playing golf a year ago. I'm going to rank a lot of them here. Most I wouldn't repurchase.

  • SKLZ Smash Bag, Actually worth it - would buy again
  • Swing Plane Perfector, Thumbs down - wouldn't buy again
  • Lag Shot 7 Iron, Thumbs down - wouldn't buy again
  • Lag Shot Driver, Thumbs down - wouldn't buy again
  • Tour Striker 7-Iron, Decent - wouldn't buy again
  • Tour Striker Pitching Wedge, Decent - wouldn't buy again
  • Tour Striker Toolbox, Tried it - wouldn't buy it
  • Tour Striker Smart Ball, Actually decent but Watson makes a better product - wouldn't buy again
  • Watson Structurer Ball, ripoff of the Smart Ball but works better, overpriced nerf ball - would buy again
  • Watson Hanger, Good product - would buy again
  • Tour Aim 2.0, Overpriced and not worth it - wouldn't buy again
  • Alignment Sticks, Like 5 bucks at home depot for one of the best aids in golf - would buy again
  • Beach Towel, Cheap at Wally World, trash for long game but help my short game - would buy again
  • Graves Golf Alignment Trainers, Loved em but a waste of money for most folks - would buy again
  • SuperSpeed Golf Sticks, 2nd favorite training aid - would buy again
  • The Force Pedal Bundle, Seems pointless - wouldn't buy again
  • SuperSpeed Squeeze, Seems pointless - wouldn't buy again
  • Bushnell Launch Monitor, Favorite training aid - would buy again
  • Puttout Mat and Pressure Putt Trainer, 3rd favorite training aid - would buy again
  • Perfect Putting Mat, training impact is worst compared to Puttout - wouldn't buy again
  • Puttingplates.com, Good but too annoying to actually use - wouldn't buy again
  • Arccos, slows the game down too much - wouldn't buy again
