The other day at the golf store, I picked up this training club made by Cleveland.  I don't know what it is called so I will do my best to describe it.  It's a steel shaft about the length of an 8 iron, except the head is a steel ball a little bigger than a golf ball cut in half.  It is supposed to let you know how good your contact is.  Haven't used it yet but it seems like it would be difficult to hit but it would definitely give you good feedback on your contact.  Has anyone ever seen this?

It's called a Tour Striker and it's a great tool to help you really get forward lean at impact.

Unlike most trainers, there's no way to fake hitting the Tour Striker. When you miss, you look like its the first time you swung a club.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

it looks nothing like the tour striker that they advertise on tv.  the head is half a steel golf ball

Might not be the tour striker. Sounds like something else. Can you post a pic so we can see it?

i saw something like this a while ago.  It was used to help your putting.  It was supposed to help you groove your putting stroke.  if you didnt hit the ball square on you putts, the ball would shoot off in another direction.

I could see that, but it has a factory cleveland grip on it, not a putter grip

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
