Tour Striker - Wolf and Jack - Question about transition from TS to TS Pro

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Congratulations and Aloha

Darren,

Thank you for the awesome letter sharing your experience about your recent Hole in One! Congratulations! The perfect shot on a par three is very exciting and rewarding. I’m thrilled that you feel the TS Pro has helped you become a better ball striker. It’s such a fine line between hitting golf balls and really compressing them with authority and it sounds as though you are getting the hang of it.

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to congratulate you and thank you for your support of the Tour Striker.

Hi martin,

All smiles here!

I have been having a blast with the Tour Striker. Though I am still sideways to the ball and some layback with the shaft I have improved. I have no time to work on my swing mechanics. When I can find the time the TS will be the tool used for my own rewards.

Now the blast is coming from my students. I have had more than one occasion a righty/lefty, wife/husband combo. The wife gets it and the husband soon to follow. I love the reaction when my students see the face and see that they really need to keep the handle in front of the head. Your genius club head design has made my job easier and my students happier.

I am glad you contacted me, I need to know what price I can sell them for. I don't want to part with my clubs they are 2 staples to my set up every day. So I have told me students to find the club at www.tourstriker.com

I know some day in the near future there will be a persuasive student that will end up with one of my TS clubs. I will be calling you back for more.

Thanks again Martin,

Cathy Schmidt

Hi Martin

Just to give you an update.

I`m currently combining the TSP (and TSPX) with the Pure Ball Striker and a lie board. It was really tricky at the beginning, especially with the lie board, but my ball striking is really great. The TS has totally transformed my game, and it has done it without the need for much conscious thought. I am really looking forward to your other training aids coming out.

Thanks again for everything,

Arny

RE: Tour Striker Pro

Ken, that’s great news! Thanks for sharing. That’s EXCELLENT distance for a newbie. I’m sure you’ll get better TS Pro results soon enough, but it’s great to see it carry over to your “play” clubs.

Cheers,

Thanks for responding. If I ever get to the far northwest , I will come to your course. I will tell you one thing, even if I struggle hitting the tour striker pro at the range. (I still have a very small flip of the club which is giving my problems with the tour striker pro) My iron shots are the best ever. I have gained 11 yards per iron with alot less effort. My 6 iron carry is 176 yards now. Not bad for a 43 year old who just took up the game three years ago. My instructor was so impressed with my gains, he ordered a Tour Striker last week for his other students.

Thanks

Ken

Hi Ken,

Thanks for ordering a Tour Striker. I appreciate the support. I'm sorry you are struggling with the TS Pro. It is meant to be hard so you have to work at getting your impact alignments in the right place. It certainly is frustrating.

I am going to post a video for you on YouTube. Hopefully the weather in Bend, Or, supports an outdoor session.

In the short term, tee the ball up a tiny bit. I'm talking 3/16". Soon you won't need a tee and you'll be able to hit it off a cart path:)

I purchased the tour striker pro and have been working with it for couple of months now. I can only hit 1 out of 5 balls correctly. Most of the shots are line drives down the center. Do you think using a tour striker would be better or keep working with the pro model.

Thanks

RE: Tour Striker

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your support!

1. Divots are a function of turf conditions, impact alignments, loft and speed. If you have the right alignments at impact, the speed of the club will cause the head to deflect off the ball and go into the ground (turf conditions). More loft, more deflection and the greater opportunity for divots. Depending on your speed, you’ll likely have divots from your 5 iron – SW. That said, some great players take divots (tiny ones) all the way up to the three wood. You don’t need divots, but the best players tend to take divots. Impact alignments are more important, like Tom Watson. He doesn’t really take divots, but has great impact alignments.

2. Absolutely!!! Now keep in mind, your head is not going to move toward the target and forward shaft lean is really just insuring a true lever is going to collide with the ball. It’s great to feel the club working left past impact!

Regards,

Hi, I just received the tour striker and am looking forward to using it.I have 2 quick questions for you.First should you always be taking a divot with all of your irons ?

And last thing is should you also be promoting a forward shaft lean with your driver and hybrids ? I hope you can answer these for me.Thanks again

Bruce
