The Perfect Practice Putting Mat
Perfect Practice
The Perfect Practice Putting Mat has popped up all over social media, and it’s for good reason. This isn’t your average putting station. It’s constructed with two holes—one standard and the other a smaller size for tougher practice. Straight lines on the mat provide the ideal visual for a clean stroke and the automatic ball return feature will make it easy to grind for hours.

The Stack System
The Stack System
We won’t recommend that you use this training aid in your living room, but it’s great for any golfer who has some space around their home to take full swings. U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick swears by the Stack System for speed training. The set of weighted sticks helps you level up your swing speed day by day, and you can track your progress in the Stack System app.

George Gankas’s GBox
George Gankas
The beauty of this training aid from George Gankas is that it can be effectively used both on and off the driving range. The belt-like device helps keep your arms in front of you throughout the swing, forcing proper body rotation. You can hit balls with the GBox on, but it can be used just as well with some daily practice swings at home.

Callaway Chipping Net

Chipping nets can be a great way to work on your short game indoors. Nets like this one from Callaway only require a small open indoor space, and you can instantly work on multiple types of short game shots. The three target heights are great for practicing how to control the loft of your chips.
