Looks like a great training aid (for me). From my lessons my teacher constantly corrects me bringing the club too far inside during backswing, and I also have a habit of flipping at impact, which it seems that this device is designed to help.

Tried some of the basic drills in the 7-day protocols without device and it definitely helped me gain some awareness of club position.

I have been seriously considering this for winter training. I did have a question regarding g it that maybe you guys can help me with. I live in a small apartment and do not have the room to swing a club even waist high to waist high, I get to out local indoor simulator twice a week, once for league and once for practice.  
 

is it even worth spending the money?

Can you go outside and swing in your yard?

Some days. But come January when we have 3 feet of snow it’s kind of tough

Then I'm going to vote "no."

Essentially, the PlaneMate helps you do a few things:

  • Take the club back without rolling it inside.
  • Get to the top reasonably well on plane.
  • Lay it down a bit from there.
  • Pivot through without throwing the clubhead at the ball.

I've bolded a few of the things that I think people are overlooking. These may be MORE important than the "helps you shallow it in transition." Heck, not everyone needs to shallow it, but a lot off people need more of those two bold things.

SOLD-OUT The Tour Striker PlaneMate is a GAME CHANGER. Pre-Order now to make sure you're part of the next wave! Estimated to start shipping out in early January.

This seems pretty clever. The fact that it's sold out also says something. I might be adding this on my "From Santa, To Me" list 😄

Use the links above. It’s a good tool for three things.

Least of which is “shallowing.”

Right. And the second item in that list isn’t in my three. The other three are.

I follow a lot of instructors on social media and while I wouldn't say it's going viral (maybe it is, or awfully darn close), it is getting a lot of good word of mouth and they love it. Getting a big case of FOMO.

I ordered it but it won’t come until late February.

I preordered for the second wave and just got notification that it shipped yesterday. Looking forward to finally getting to try it out! Winter is here in Ohio and so I don’t think I’ll be doing much work outside.

I am supposed to receive mine on Tuesday.  We haven't had much winter so far in S. Ohio, but it will probably start Tuesday.

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
