Golf's #1 Swing Aid "The Broom" | Good Golf Coaching

Meet the most un-glamorous training aid that creates some of the most glamorous ball-striking from Stuart Cartwright at Good Golf Coaching

Invented and taught through the Good Golf Coaching “Broom” sessions, this is a proper, stiff-bristled garden broom chosen for one reason: it gives you instant, honest feedback on your motion. The broom’s width and resistance make it almost impossible to “fake it” with hands and arms — so you naturally start to sequence the swing better, control the handle, and deliver a more stable strike.

What it trains in your golf swing

• Handle control & pressure: teaches you to move the grip with intent so the clubhead can “rebound” through impact (instead of flipping).

• Better sequencing: you’ll feel the body motion powering the swing rather than an arm-dominated hit.

• Stronger impact alignments: encourages a more organised strike and a more repeatable bottom of arc.

• Tempo + rhythm: the broom’s mass smooths you out fast — you’ll know immediately when you snatch it from the top.

Why a garden broom works so well

A standard club is easy to manipulate. A broom isn’t.

Because it’s wide, you get clear feedback on:

• whether you’re pulling it “in” with your arms,

• whether the handle is travelling correctly,

• whether you’re staying connected and rotating instead of throwing.

The actual broom (what you get)

• 18” wide stiff bassine bristles for clear resistance and feedback

• Approx. 120cm handle

• Indoor/outdoor capable (this is a real cleaning broom — it just happens to be an elite swing trainer too) GGC Store

How to use (quick start)

1. Hold it like a golf club (grip end = “club grip”).

2. Make slow practice swings focusing on moving the handle and keeping the motion organised.

3. Build speed only when the broom feels smooth (no jerky, handsy “hit”).

4. Do 30–60 seconds a day as part of your warm-up.

Perfect for

Golfers who: flip at impact, throw it from the top, get steep/over-the-top, struggle with strike consistency, or want a simple daily drill that actually changes feel.
