He is able to increase control, distance and speed of the club head. The aids increase the golfer’s concentration during the alignment and speed control at the final stage of the game i.e. putting the ball into the hole. Some of the golf training aids are swing trainers, aim trainers, golf simulators, practice balls, mats, nets, putting greens and putting aids.

The weight fixed at the other end of this golf training aid can be adjusted to match woods and irons. Golf Resistance Cords give additional resistance training to the golfer’s swing action. They improve the arms and torso, giving additional strength and stability to the golfer’s upper body leading him to a superior game. The kit provides handles, instruction manual and three grades of resistance cords. The dual flex wrist support gives exercise to the golfer’s wrists to hold firmly the woods and irons in perfect position during strike of the ball.

My motto is; if it looks good, it is good. If it looks bad, it is bad! To accomplish great taxis we will start from the beginning. Into the wind, into the wind, into the wind!! Proper glider layout and placement into the wind are vital to good taxiing in the beginning. Cross wind launches etc. are for later. Don't set yourself up to fail. After properly laying out your glider, roll your Powered Paramotor into position. When ready, begin your launch by looking out toward your glider tip on your throttle side. Then start rolling on the throttle. You will need to go to full throttle as you don't want the glider making its own decisions! When it reaches the 11:00 position release the A's and pull the brakes down slightly to put some "shape" into the glider as well as some stability. At the same time you will need to ease off the throttle to AVOID launching. Yes, I said EASE OFF the throttle. You only need to go as fast as to NOT takeoff! There will be plenty of time later for more precise, slower throttle control and slower speeds. Now your goal is to SEE your glider. Not to look at it but to SEE it! At this point you are the pilot; you must control your glider and hold it directly overhead. Make all inputs slow, well timed and precise. In other words if the glider is at your 10:00 not front to rear but side to side, bring it back to the 11:00 and "hold" it there. It will finish at the 12:00. If you are too late and try to hold it at the 12:00 it will finish at the 1:00! You'd like to see your glider always at the 12 but the 11 to 1 is not bad. N Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:08:08 +0100
