Training Aides Best training aid for face control

[Erock]

There are a plethora of devices on the market. Like to hear feedback on best training aides for wrist conditions/face control. Pro Sendr, G snap (trail or lead or both) Watson Hanger, Hack Motion, or something else.

Swingyde has really helped me. You can get a knock off on ebay for $8.

You already have the best aid money can buy, your trail hand.

Agreed but I’m looking for some reinforcement to ensure that trail hand is behaving appropriately throughout the swing. 
 

I’ve spent time with trail arm only swings but struggle to transfer those feels to two handed swing. I’ve done hell drills but I’ve got some elbow tendinitis in my lead arm and it hurts so bad to do them with any consistency.

Interesting - thanks for sharing. 
 

 Question though - doesn’t modern technology refute this? Hack motion data shows that the best ball strikers are moving toward extension as they approach impact which would probably look closer to the “wrong” way in the photo provided. Or perhaps I’m wrong?

Bad video captures but here’s what I’m looking at.

For those of you that use the swingyde ( @ColoradoMike and others), have you found that you need to move it more towards 1 o'clock in order to keep a flat wrist at the top of the swing? I have a fairly strong grip and I find that if I set the swingyde the way the instructional video says, my wrist is rather cupped at the top.

Yes, 1 o'clock
