The Coach Behind the Aids
David Leadbetter is widely regarded as the man who modernized golf coaching. He belongs to the PGA Teachers Hall of Fame, was named PGA Teacher of the Year in 2017, founded 35 Leadbetter Golf Academies worldwide, and has written eight instructional books that have sold over ten million copies. His students have won 23 major championships between them and held the world number one ranking seven times. The training aids carry that pedigree directly, because each one exists to solve a fault he watched cost golfers shots for decades.
The StraightAway and the Takeaway
The StraightAway is the flagship, and it addresses the first move in the swing. Get the club away correctly and a great deal downstream takes care of itself. Get it wrong and you spend the rest of the swing compensating. The aid places you in a proper takeaway position so the feel registers rather than the instruction. Nick Price, a former world number one, has described the correct takeaway as the single biggest problem he sees in amateur golf, which is exactly the gap this fills. The StraightAway AIMSTICK covers alignment and comes singly or in a two pack, and the StraightShooter Lead Arm Guide keeps the lead arm structured through the backswing.
Grip and Connection
The Leadbetter Glove is a genuine Cabretta leather glove with alignment markings printed into the palm, so a correct grip is visible rather than guessed at. Position the club along the marked section, overlap the hands to match the lifeline indicator, and you arrive at the two knuckle grip most good players use. Leadbetter states it conforms for tournament play. The Grip Check Training Grip works the same problem on the club itself. The Original Swing Link and the Connect Check Ball address connection, keeping the arms and body working together instead of the arms running away independently.
Posture, Path and Feedback
The Leadbetter Swing Check Mirror gives you real time visual feedback on setup and positions, which is the cheapest way to catch a posture fault before it becomes habit. The Laser Golf Swing Coach projects a line so path and face become visible rather than theoretical. The Boomerang, Step-Toe, and SwingSetter each target their own piece of the motion, from footwork and weight shift to the shape of the swing itself.
Indoors and On the Green
The Short Indoor Club lets the work continue when the weather closes in, short enough to swing in a room with normal ceilings. The Putting Bar brings the same feedback principle to the stroke, giving the putter a reference so path errors show up immediately.
Bundles
Two bundles collect the most used pieces. One pairs the Leadbetter Glove with the AIMSTICK and the StraightAway, which covers grip, alignment, and takeaway in a single purchase. The other combines the StraightAway, SwingSetter, AIMSTICK, and training grip for a fuller setup. Both cost less than the same items bought separately.
Not Sure Where to Start with Leadbetter?
For most golfers the answer is the StraightAway, since the takeaway is where the trouble usually begins, with the glove close behind if your grip has never been properly checked. With over 50 years of combined experience in the golf business, we are glad to get on a one-on-one call and help you work out which fault to attack first.
