Casey,

You have to keep in mind you kit the golf ball with a golf club, not a golf swing. If you understand how the club works (most people do not), it is a two lever device not a one lever device, and how to open and close the club face through the impact zone then you can hit a properly fitted golf club pretty easily with a few practice sessions. I use a practice device called IronSolid, I am biased being the inventor, but it works and I use my own clubs when practicing.

The drawback to the tour striker is you are not using your club in your practice sessions.

Don’t feel bad, Tiger Woods has changed his swing and he is paying for it in a much different scoring game than he is used too. Golf improvement is a journey, sometimes a lifetime journey.

Hit it Solid!

I purchased my tour striker back in February, 2011. I am a regular player with a 12 handicap, and my instructor has always preached proper impact, so I thought this would be exactly what I need..so wrong..When you watch the video, the presenters tell you that you will “find a way” to make your swing get proper impact. And sure enough, I managed over 60 days to “concoct” a swing that would get the tour striker to get impcat and loft. But when I took that swing to regular clubs, I had also developed a pull hook that wreaked havoc on my game…I needed a whole summer, and 3 lessons from my instructor to “unlearn” my tour striker swing..Now I am writing this review just after I printed my shipping label to sell my tour striker on ebay…I guess training aids in golf are like prescription drugs, use them only when a professional directs, and beware of side effects that are sometimes worse than the original affliction…

I bought the tour striker a week ago. I spent an hour on the range the day I bought it and an hour the next day. I increased my distance almost 15 yards per club and had no fat shots on the first round I played afterward. I am a single digit handicap but iron play is by far the weakest aspect of my game. I am relatively sure with continued use of the tour striker that will not be the case anymore.

What the tour striker promotes is hitting iron/hybrid shots with a descending blow, which is what all good strikers of the golf ball accomplish consistently. There are very few products or training devices out in the market that help a golfer train this move. Ben Hogan found it in the “dirt” by hitting golf balls at a practice range daily, it became the Hogan “secret”. I have tried the tour striker (good tool but not my club set up in loft, lie, shaft length and grip size), using a tennis ball 12″ behind the ball (chasing that thing around on the range was not fun) to promote a downward blow and using a few other drills. In turn I found a device that accomplishes the task, invented by a recreational golfer and the cost is less than a dozen of cheap golf balls. The device is called IronSolid and if you go to this web site ironsolid.com you can read about it yourself. what ever device you chose the key is effective training on a consistent basis.

Never tried it, but wouldn’t putting a tennis ball about 12″ behind the ball force the same effect??

@PJ: Hi PJ,

I have not hit the 5 iron or sand wedge models, nor the regular tour striker. However, it sounds like the 5 iron version might suit you better and help build the habits that you are looking to build with longer clubs. I wish I could tell you more about the differences between the two models but I can’t. Also remember that our perception is not necessarily reality. So even with the short irons you might not be hitting them as properly as you think you are simply because shorter irons are more forgiving. What we feel doesn’t necessarily match what we are actually doing. I’ve learned that several times in my golfing career with my own swing. Let me know which model you decide to go with and what helped you make that decision.

I’m really interested in this product, yet haven’t had a chance to try it. I’m looking for one of the pro versions, however I’m stuck between ordering the 7 iron and 5 iron model. I really don’t have any regular issues striking the ball properly with the shorter irons, but like most people I definitely need reminding every once in a while that i have to hit down with the long irons.

Were you able to try both the 7 and 5 iron pro versions? If so I’d be curious to know what differences you might have found.

@Ed Finnegan: I would start out with the regular tour striker then decide if you would like to have it modified to your specs. I think you’ll only know the answer from experience with it. Good luck and enjoy, it’s an excellent training aid.

Should I get a generic tour striker, or have one modified to my specs of the irons I’ll be getting in 2011: soft regular graphite, shaft 1/2 inch longer? Would appreciate your comments on this, thanks in advance. Ed
