I was wondering what these were, looking at my Twitter feed, I thought they were party hats. Now wondering how effective they are.

Quote:

ORLANDO, Fla. – Tour View, a wonderfully simple but effective training aid, won the Most Innovative Concept Award at the 2015 PGA Merchandise Show. There is a story here.

The $29.99 device was created by Mike Jones, the son of a golf professional. I always pay attention to the children of golf pros, because so many of them have spent a lifetime contemplating the mysteries and joys of the game. Jones, like his father, Gene Jones, Sr., became a teaching professional.

Developed through many teaching sessions, Tour View allows any golfer to see and feel what it means to keep the head stable.

I know what you're thinking: "Not another one of those steady-Eddie training aids that looks like a bent coat hanger. You want to keep your head still? Just hit balls on the range when the sun is right, keeping your shadow in the same spot."

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

What do you do when you rotate your head?

Looks like something a person could make at home for under $10.  A pair of scissors, some card/poster board, a spring clip, and some baling wire. You are good to go.

I don't see me spending $30 for this gizmo.

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

Or a cheap pair of sun glasses and some masking tape and an exacto knife.
