Introduction
The Tour Aim was one of the best things I saw at the 2024 PGA Show, and it did not disappoint when I got it in for review [read the review HERE]. It’s become a practice necessity for me due to its ease of use and versatility. Tour Aim has recently added a new trainer to their line up, the aptly named Tour Aim+. This add-on to the Tour Aim seeks to enhance an already great training aid, and I tested it to find out if it’s another must-have.
Set Up & Ease of Use
Like most training aids, the Tour Aim+ comes with a QR code instead of a printed instructional book. The instructions aren’t really necessary as the three uses of the Tour Aim+ are easily discerned from the photos on the website and the descriptions on the box.
Adding the Tour Aim+ to your Tour Aim set up takes a couple seconds. It consists of little more than snapping one of your alignment sticks into the clips on the Tour Aim+ and moving it into your preferred position. If you’re using the Tour Aim+ for putting, it actually speeds the set-up by holding the two sticks in perfect parallel.
Effectiveness
The Tour Aim+ adds three functions to the Tour Aim. First, it promotes consistent ball position and a square club face.
Second, the Tour Aim+ allows you to use a tee on any surface. For players who practice on mats, this is a major upgrade.
The third function relates to the Tour Aim’s putting drill. The Tour Aim+ holds the alignment sticks in perfect parallel while giving you a place to start your ball. It also gives you a reference for squaring the putter face.
All three of these functions work as advertised and add significant value to an already great training aid. For me, the putting feature is the best. I get pretty OCD about my putting practice, so having the ball perfectly centered and my putter face square is a huge plus.
While I think the Tour Aim+ is great, I will throw in a couple small caveats. First, the ball position feature works best on a mat. If you’re hitting irons or wedges, you’re likely taking a divot. This means you’ll want a fresh piece of grass for each shot, which would mean moving your entire Tour Aim set up. If you’re more concerned with ball position that the full alignment package, you can solve this issue by using the Tour Aim+ with just one alignment stick (below).
The other thing to be aware of is that you’ll need shorter tees to use the Tour Aim+. The tee holder works very well, but, of course, you can’t push your tee through the mat. Figure out how high above the ground you like to tee the ball and buy tees that height, or break some wooden tees to length.
Longevity
Everything that gives the Tour Aim great longevity is true for the Tour Aim+ as well. It’s small and light, it’s versatile, it sets up quickly, and you can use it anywhere. This is a training aid that can and should live in your bag so that you use it every time you practice. Even if you’re just using a single alignment stick, the Tour Aim+ can add a couple more layers of precision to your practice.
Value
The Tour Aim+ costs $60.

Like the Tour Aim, this training aid is a must-buy in my book. With the 15% off code, you can get the Tour Aim and Tour Aim+ for a total of $115, which is below average for one training aid. These are both multi-function tools that are as valuable to a Tour player as they are for a novice.
Conclusion
It’s not often that I give any product, let alone a training aid, an unconditional endorsement, but I think the Tour Aim and Tour Aim+ are trainers that every serious golfer should own. Together, they will help you dial in every element of your game and make your practice more precise and productive.
