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....

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

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
