From one of the biggest names in golf comes this incredible training aid. The TR3 Speed Sleeve from TaylorMade will instantly transform any club in your bag to a weighted practice club.

The benefit of the Speed Sleeve is that it is adjustable and can be fitted to all your clubs from the driver to the putter. Once fitted you are able to feel the club’s weight throughout your swing and can even hit the golf ball.
