The List

How we test

We think the best way to see if an item of golf fitness equipment is any good is by using it. That sounds like an obvious statement to make but it is only by using a product a lot, and often, that we can gain an idea of usability, versatility, durability, value for money, and above all else, whether it actually has a positive impact on our game? We use products at home, at the range, on the putting green, etc to see if specific golf fitness equipment is actually worth buying. We should also mention that no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our team tells it how it is. 

How to choose

There are multiple factors to consider when looking at buying an item of golf fitness equipment. Let's go into them here. 

What do you want to work on? 

Golf fitness equipment can help a number of different areas, so it's important that you choose an item that is designed to help aid relief and pain in that certain area. For example, you wouldn't buy a balance station to help stretch before your round of golf.

Usability 

Do you want fitness equipment to be simple to use, or do you want something that may be more complicated but can provide the most effectiveness? Ultimately there are models above and elsewhere in the golf world which are both. 

Versatility

Again, fitness equipment can be used in a multitude of ways and, when it comes to your golf game, you need to decide on whether it's something that you are going to use at home or prior to your round. Many items slot nicely into your bag whilst others are more difficult to pack away and store. So have a think about how versatile and portable you want your equipment to be. 

Durability 

A good piece of golf fitness equipment should also be strong and durable, so be aware of what certain models are made from and whether brands offer warranties on their products in case they break from use. 

Price 

Golf can be an expensive sport right and given the choice of buying new clubs, balls, bags or clothes, a piece of golf equipment might be the bottom of that list despite it possibly helping the most. However it is important to realize that there is equipment at lots of different price points so, if you do decide to invest, be aware of how much you are willing to spend. 

FAQs

What fitness equipment is best for golf?

When it comes to fitness equipment in golf, it all depends on what area you are focusing on. Items like the Therabody Theragun Mini help aid recovery, while the SuperSpeed Golf Training Set will improve your swing speed and power. So, essentially, it all comes down to what you are wanting to maximize within your golf game.

What training should I do at the gym for golf?

When it comes to golf many are looking to build a strong core, which primarily involves plenty of lunges, squats and rotational exercises. What's more, another way to train for golf is to improve your flexibility, as it will help generate more power through the ball, as well as reduce the risk of injury.
