5 Golf Training Aids That Actually Make Practice More Fun

Golf practice can get boring. Even if you love spending time on the range, the repetition can wear you down. I’ve always found that adding a layer of challenge or feedback can transform a dull session into something engaging and maybe even productive. If you want a little more motivation to practice, these five training aids offer interactive drills, real-time feedback and even games to keep things fresh.

Here are five of the best golf training aids that make practice more fun.

HackMotion

HackMotion is a wrist sensor and training system. They have recently started incorporating drills into the app, and the drills are interactive. If you like being told if your practice is correct or incorrect, this could be a good system for you.

The built-in drills are more like challenges or games where you try to manufacture the correct position in your hands and wrists. When you do it correctly, you get positive feedback. When you do it incorrectly, you’ll be notified so you can make adjustments.

Instead of guessing if your release or wrist angles are improving, HackMotion shows you instantly. Players can compete against themselves to hit targets more consistently.

Who It’s For: Golfers who want detailed swing feedback and enjoy structured drills that feel like games. It’s better for golfers who are a bit more serious about their practice and play.

WellPutt Mat (13ft Performance – Stars & Stripes)

Any of the WellPutt mats work to make practice more fun. The reason these are so popular is not just because of the quality of the roll and the convenience of the design. Golfers love the integration with the WellPutt app.

You’ll have access to 54 drills that track progress and challenge you to improve over time. If you have the time but don’t have an at-home setup, this is a good one to consider.

Who It’s For: Golfers who want more structure in their putting practice and prefer measurable, app-based progress.

Exputt RG Putting Simulator

While the WellPutt training mat uses technology through the phone-based app, the Exputt takes things a little further. Exputt uses a high-speed camera and software to turn putting into a virtual game. You can roll putts on simulated greens with different speeds and slopes or jump into Game Mode for skills challenges and multi-player competitions.

We tested the Exputt RG last year in the MyGolfSpy Forum and members praised the realistic green speeds, easy setup and variety of practice modes like distance control, accuracy and on-course simulations. The built-in feedback on speed, aim and distance makes it more than just entertainment.

Who It’s For: Golfers looking for an interactive at-home putting experience that combines fun with useful feedback.

Rapsodo MLM2PRO

The MLM2PRO is a portable launch monitor that offers users more than just numbers. MyGolfSpy Forum testers noted how much fun the skills challenges, closest-to-the-pin contests and long-drive competitions were.

Pair it with simulation software and you’ve got access to even more target-based games. It’s a tool that makes range time feel less like work. You’ll also gather a lot of data about your game to use to improve your scores.

Who It’s For: Golfers who want accurate data with built-in game modes.

Chippo Golf

Think cornhole, but with wedges. Chippo Golf is a backyard game that doubles as a short-game trainer. You chip balls onto boards with scoring holes, making it easy to challenge friends or keep yourself engaged in solo practice.

While it doesn’t replace greenside short-game practice, it adds competition and pressure to your chips, something every golfer can benefit from.

Who It’s For: Golfers who want a fun, competitive short-game practice option at home or with friends.

Final thoughts

Changing up your practice routine and making it a little more interactive can be a great thing for your golf game. Playing great golf is fun and if the road to get there is a little more entertaining, consider it a win!
