I Tried 7 Different 'Training Aids'. Only One Actually Worked.
Let me save you the time and money I wasted.
Over the past 3 years, I've tried $120/hr golf lessons, club fittings, a bunch of cheap rubbish from Temu, even practiced with a towel under my arm like my Dad recommended. Two different training aids from "Elite" golf brands, a $40 one-off from Amazon with 5-star reviews, and finally, the TRS Slider that everyone kept talking about.
Six failures. One winner. Here's the difference:
1.I Could Actually Take It With Me
This sounds small, but I've tried plenty of golf training aids that were awkward to set up, complicated to use, or just ended up staying at home.
Just strap it on. No cameras, no setup, no fuss.
The first time I used it at the range, I actually laughed. Why didn't anyone make a training aid this simple sooner?
2.My Swing Felt Different
I used to feel like my swing was all over the place. That frustrating feeling when you know something isn't right with your swing.
The TRS Slider gives me a different feel in my swing. Sounds dramatic, but I finally stopped feeling like I was guessing.
3.The Feeling Actually Stuck
Usually, I'd fall back into bad habits after a couple rounds after a lesson or using a training aid. With this, the feeling actually sticks.
No remembering what to do. No starting from scratch.
After a few sessions, I knew what the correct movement was supposed to feel like, and the muscle memory started to build.
4.Relief for Slicers, Hookers & Short Hitters
Your swing path affects almost everything. For most golfers, that's the gap in their game that holds them back from better contact, consistency and distance.
What's crazy is hearing all the different stories from golfers who use the TRS Slider. Some have fixed their slice/hook, others have found more distance, and everyone is finally striking the ball more consistently.
5.It Worked On My Short Game Too
I always assumed a training aid like this was just for the full swing. But the TRS Slider works for both the short game and long game.
Even short game legend Dan Grieve uses and recommends it. It's crazy to think one training aid can help with everything from chipping and pitching to your full swing.
6.It Works For Any Handicap
I always assumed a training aid like this would only be useful for better golfers. But my friend is a 28 handicap and I'm a 4 handicap, and we both use the TRS Slider.
The same simple movement helps whether you're still learning the basics or trying to fine-tune your swing.
It's pretty crazy that we can both get something out of the exact same training aid.
7.It Never Gets Old
I've bought plenty of training aids that worked for a few sessions, then ended up forgotten in the garage.
The TRS Slider is different. The more you use it, the more natural the movement starts to feel.
A few swings before a round. A whole session at the range. Even just a couple of minutes at home. It keeps giving you that same feedback every time.
8.Comfortable Enough To Use All Session
The beauty of the TRS Slider is you can wear it for your entire range session without even thinking about it.
After a while, you actually forget you're wearing it. And that's when the magic happens — you're just hitting balls, but the movement starts to feel completely natural.
When you forget you're wearing it, you're hitting the ball so pure.
9.Used By Golf Pros
Cam Smith, Patton Kizzire and Thomas Detry all use the TRS Slider.
You've probably even seen it on TV without realising what it was. That's actually how I found out about it — watching The Open.
They're not paid to use it. They're using it because it actually works.
10.Best Value for What Actually Works
I've spent plenty on lessons and training aids over the years, but I never expected one to actually put money back in my pocket.
Since getting the TRS Slider, I've won more in skins games than I've spent on it.
I bought it to fix my swing. Turns out it's been making me money too.
