Has anyone else ever used this torturous device?

My instructor got upset with me today because for the last 4 months, he's been trying to get me to weaken my grip and keeping a flat left wrist through impact and I always revert back to a super strong grip and letting my left wrist break down through impact.  For some reason, I just cannot keep these changes in my setup.  I tend to hit the ball very low and take super deep divots, even to the point of it being painful from hitting into the ground.

So today he shows up with this glove and makes me wear it.  It has a black area where you're supposed to grip the club, and I wasn't gripping the club correctly to begin with.  (something he has told me numerous times)  Then the stiff plastic on the back of my wrist forced me to make a couple changes in my grip at setup just to address the ball squarely.  Then I took my first swing........

OUCH!!!!!!!!!  This thing induced a nice pinch and a little pain on the back of my hand.  I just looked at him and pulled the glove off, but he talked me into putting it back on after a few minutes.  After I was aware that if I let my wrist break down there would be a little pain involved, my swing instantly changed.  I started hitting the ball quite a bit higher after that, and noticed that my finish position changed because of it to a much more comfortable finish and I wasn't swinging as hard at the ball, which shallowed out my divots nicely.

I guess I needed a little pain to actually make changes in my swing, which has been a disaster this year.

Whatever works, I guess.

no, but ive seen it.  ive actually thought about duct-taping a ruler to the back of my left wrist in an effort to keep the thing flat thru impact...

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
