Go into any sporting goods or golf pro shop and you will find a myriad of products aimed toward improving your golf game. There are DVDs, books, and lots of equipment you can buy to assist you with your stance, swing and putting.

If you are thinking of purchasing a few training products to increase the finesse of your game, ask yourself these questions:

Where do I need the most help? What are my weaknesses? Chances are very good that once you identify what you need to improve, there will be a product to help.

If your problem is distance and accuracy, a weighted club can give you some help. And they’re not expensive – usually around $20.

The stability ball is a training product that every golfer with a back problem should look into. You can do a lot of stretches with it, and you can deflate it, so it won’t take up a lot of space.

Of course, there’s always the putting green that you can roll out anywhere – even in your office if you want to appear like one of the executives in so many movies!

How much do I have to spend? Training products come in a wide array of choices and price tags to match. Sometimes it’s best to spend your money on an actual game of golf or a day at the driving range than it is to purchase a product for the home.

Will I really use this product? Garages across the country are full of workout equipment. Once you get it home and try it out a couple of times, will it improve your game enough to be worth the money, not to mention the space it will take?
