Range objects

Training aids

A device, who makes it, and whether a name on tour is paid, unpaid but filmed using it, or just in the same zip code. The Scheffler-style lead-wrist brace is the unpaid-known-use example: visible, repeated, not treated as a contract here.

Setup

Alignment sticks

Generic · Tour Issue

Two rods on the ground or in the ground. Aim line, ball position, swing path. The most common training object in golf that is not a club.

Nearly every tour bag
Unpaid, known use
Not a sponsorship category. They are range furniture.
YouTube instruction
Paid tie
Branded sticks show up in affiliate videos. The object predates the SKU.

Putting

Lead-wrist putting brace

Unbranded / shop builds · Specialty putting trainers

A brace or molded grip that locks the lead wrist through the putting stroke so the face does not flip. The Scheffler-looking version is a training cage more than a tour grip.

Scottie Scheffler
Unpaid, known use
Repeatedly filmed using a lead-wrist putting trainer on range and practice greens. No public paid putting-brace deal attached to that specific cage in this seed.
Tour putting coaches
No player tie
Same idea sold under several names. We track the use, not a single SKU.
