Confused by the myriad of sports training aides on the market? You're not alone. In this article we will discuss the various options available and give you some tips that will help you select the training aid that will be the most effective for you.
Definea Goal
There are two goals most people are trying to accomplishwhen they are looking at purchasing a sports training aid. Either they want to solve or correct a specific problem, or they want to get more efficient practice sessions. Fortunately many of today's training aids address both goals, but the emphasis is usually geared to one or the other so you'll need to determinewhich goal is most important to you to make the best choice.
Technical is King
There are more training aides for technical sports than for physical sports. Aren't all sports technical and physical you may ask. In a sense it's true almostevery sport requires some degree of technical and physical ability, but for the sake of this article let's define a technical sport as one that requires mastery of uncommon body movements to become proficient.
Examples of Technical Sports

Baseball
Softball
Cricket

What You Should Look for in a Sports Training Aid.
There are some obvious things to look for in choosing a piece of sports equipment such as ability to correct your deficiencies or improve practice time, and quality of materials and workmanship. But here are a few extra qualities you may want to be on the lookout for.
Ease of use and benefit readily understood by expert and novice.
Portability, so item can be used as a warm-up device prior to competition.
Eliminates time wasters such a chasing or retrieving balls or other equipment.
Can be used indoors. Especially useful for apartment dwellers or those who live in regions with frequent bad weather.
While many of the large sporting goods manufacturers offer sports training aids, if you were to shop your local sporting goods retailer you'll likely find most are geared to either golf, baseball or softball. There is a finite amount for shelf space for products in the brick & mortar world, but the Internet has no such restrictions.
On the internet you'll find unique training aide solutions to just about any problem you may have. Many of the inventors of these products are former professional coaches who designed products to help their players and have decided to make these products available to everyone after they have retired. They don't have the marketing budget or know-how to promote these wonderful products but a little digging on your part should result in your finding some real gems.
Here is a great place to start on your quest for the best in hard to find sports training aids. If you are seeking a trainer to help you get your game in shape, use the free trainer locator on the Professor Q's Sports website.
