4 Laser Plane Trainers: $15-$150, I Tested

I fought an over-the-top swing for years. Every coach said the same thing: shallower, more inside, stop cutting across it. The problem was I couldn’t see my own path. A swing takes about a second. By the time I’d finished, the club was gone and I was guessing what happened. Every physical plane trainer on the market costs $150 and up, which is why the golf industry pushes them. There’s no margin in a $35 laser, so nobody talks about the cheap option that actually works.

Laser swing plane trainers are a different product class from the PlaneMate and its plastic-board cousins. A laser mounts to your club shaft and projects a reference line you trace through the swing. If your path is off, you see it instantly. No camera, no app, no $170 board. The four options are EyeLine, Plane Sight, AMG, and the generic Amazon lasers.

1. EyeLine Check Point Swing Laser: $99.95

The EyeLine Check Point Swing Laser is the best-made option and the one with the clearest feedback. It uses two green lasers that attach to your club and project a path stripe on the ground. Trace the dot along the stripe and you know your plane is right. The green lasers are bright enough to see indoors, which is the whole point for a winter practice tool.

At $99.95 (marked down from $124.95), it’s the most expensive laser here, and GolfWRX’s forum is right that it feels pricey for what’s physically in the box. But it’s built by EyeLine Golf, a brand that’s been making putting mirrors and gates for 20 years, and the dual-laser setup gives you both the butt-end and clubhead reference points at once.

Verdict: Worth it if you want the most reliable feedback. It’s the only laser trainer from an established golf brand.

2. Plane Sight Laser Trainer: $149.95

Plane Sight is the original laser trainer, and it’s overpriced. It’s a small laser device that attaches to the butt end of the club and shows where the club is pointing. The classic version sold for around $90, but the current listing at InTheHole Golf runs $149.95 (marked down from $199.95).

A Reddit user famously built a working Plane Sight clone for $2.97 by shoving a laser pointer down the butt end of an old club. The product works, but there is nothing in a $150 laser pointer that justifies the price. You’re paying for the branding of a 20-year-old patent.

Verdict: Skip. It works, but the price is a joke when a $15 laser does the same thing.

3. AMG Laser Swing Plane Trainer: $14.95

Athletic Motion Golf (AMG) sells a laser swing plane trainer for $14.95, marked down from $29.95. It weighs 0.8 ounces and uses a directional laser to show your club path through the swing. AMG is a respected name in swing instruction, their YouTube analysis is genuinely good, and this is the cheapest name-brand laser on the market.

The tradeoff is build quality. At 0.8 ounces and $15, it’s a laser pointer with a clip. It works, but it won’t feel substantial, and there are no reviews on the product page yet. For the price, though, it’s hard to argue.

Verdict: Buy it. It’s 90% of the EyeLine for 15% of the price. The best value here.

4. Generic Amazon Laser Trainers: $25-$40

The Amazon generic market is full of “golf swing path laser trainer” listings from no-name sellers at $25 to $40. These are the same dual-ended laser design as the EyeLine, made cheaper. Some work fine. Some ship with a red laser instead of green, and red lasers are nearly invisible outdoors and weak indoors.

The rule here is simple: buy green laser only. Red laser trainers are the #1 complaint in these listings’ reviews. If the listing doesn’t say green, assume it’s red and skip it.

Verdict: Worth it if you find a green-laser listing under $30. Otherwise pay a few dollars more for the AMG.

What I Would Actually Buy

Get the AMG Laser Swing Plane Trainer at $14.95. It does the same job as a $100 EyeLine. Trace the line, fix your path, spend the savings on range balls.

If you want dual-laser feedback and a brand with a track record, step up to the EyeLine Check Point Swing Laser at $99.95. It’s the reliable choice for indoor winter practice.

Skip the Plane Sight at $149.95. You’d be paying $135 extra for a patent number. If you’re deep into swing path work, pair a laser with a physical trainer like the PlaneMate or an alignment stick from my swing path guide.
