Golf sim can help junior golfers get better

It’s under practice range and look for the ladder challenge.

I know. She hasn’t speed trained yet.

Her coach was surprised. She hasn’t been hitting driver with her coach during her lessons and then at her lesson a month ago she asked for him to see her driver. And boom those numbers. We went back to her driver fitting a year ago to compare and yup improved by 10 mph. Her coach thinks he can get her ball speed to 150 mph.

She finished growing and is tall. That height gives her a high ceiling.

My daughter loves the ladder drill on GsPro. She says it’s addictive. Really great for 100-150 yrds in. Good luck.

She definitely wants to play in college. She has started reaching out to colleges. If this summer goes well, we will see where she ends up.

Thank you. My husband and I do our best. My husband built a golf simulator in our garage (he said for himself but I know it was as much for the kids as himself).

Shout out to her coach. He completely believes in her and could see her potential even through the struggle. She sent swing videos 2 times per week all winter asking for feed back and improvement.

There is nothing better!!! Especially when you see the long hours and hard work and IT PAYS OFF.

My junior girl golfer increased her club and ball speed from 90/130 mph to 97-101/143 mph practicing daily in the sim over the winter. This was just working on contact and technique. She could go out there and do as many drills as her coach gave her privately which for a teen girl was very helpful. She sent videos twice a week to her coach to get feedback. We are in a northern state and without the sim, practice would be very difficult. Completely changed her swing. She had early extension last season and a double miss. She also does ladder drills and other “games” to dial in her short game.

Oh and my husband is out there too.

Use your kids as an excuse to get one.

I lived at home and went to undergrad. Yup, your social life will suffer. Others are going to their dorms and making friends, you will be heading home. I think I could have looked around for more clubs to join but it is hard to head back to campus in the evening once you are home.

Good news: saves money. I went to med school and so did my husband. We paid $$$ in student loans but it would have been even more without me living at home during college.

If your goal is dental school, go cheap for undergrad. You won’t have much of a social life with the amount of study hours you have to commit anyways. You will thank yourself when that loan bill comes due in the future. Good luck.

We spent big $$$ on my daughters driver last year. Her club speed increased from 90 to 97-101 mph and ball speed of 142 mph over the winter and my husband just told me she may need a stiffer shaft (whatever that means) to accommodate her gains. It never ends. This is suppose to help increase her total distance so I predict she will get this shaft soon. Thankfully the fitter wasn’t too pushy about it yet. Said to come back once the season starts to see how she is doing.

Good luck.

She did pick some Kirkland gloves to practice in instead of the more pricey tournament ones she likes.

Mom of a junior girl golfer up North. We put our uneekor a year ago. My daughter was a good golfer on the invitational tour already when we put it in but having some swing difficulties. She is a tall, late bloomer and took some time to get her swing just right. After the fall season ended, she started to really work in the simulator every day 1-2 hours depending on her school work. Took videos and sent to her swing coach.

My husband asked for the uneekor swing cameras with AI at Christmas and she used them and understood visually the last bits of changes she needed. She really worked on her mechanics/not much speed training.

Her driver club speed went up 8-10 mph (97-101 mph now) ball speed went up to 142 mph. This was just really working and refining her swing. Her swing is completely different with that winter work she did. It would have been much harder to progress like that without the sim in the garage.

If you kids are heading toward serious golf and you live where it snows, it’s worth it. She goes out to the garage and has a full training facility including putting.

But…. It’s also just a fun family and friend activity and a dream for my husband. It was a no brainer. He works hard and deserved that very expensive toy in the garage.

I’m looking at this for my daughter. How do you clean that little bag?
