looks interesting ... I am working on my wrist collapsing at impact.

I purchased a smash bag today for this very issue.  This could be the think to help. Would like to hear if someone has tried this.

My son has one.  I saw him using it on the course many times.

He originally got it to help with his slice.  It seems to do the trick.  Now he's hitting a draw with occasional pulls.  I've also noticed that his short game got quite a bit better with it.  He used to chunk/blade a couple of shots a round but seldom does it now.

If you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to ask him for you.

Looks like the Sklz Smart Glove I bought when I first started out.

From my perspective it helped a lot to get my wrist in the correct "flat" position at impact although there was a certain amount of limitation with ulnar deviation as the solid part doesn't move. I did see a similar glove with a "joint" in the wrist to allow for ulnar deviation.

MiniBlueDragon,

When you said 'ulnar deviation', did you mean movements like hinge%20up.JPG and hinge%20down.JPG ?

If so, I know the glove with a "joint".  It's called "Dynamic Swing Glove".  I used to buy them for my son every other months except during the middle of the summer when it's too hot to wear them.  He wore them out at the thumb every time.  It's kind of expensive to have to buy five or six gloves a year at around $30 a pop

Now that he's supporting himself, he found a cheaper solution.  I guess when your are spending your own money, you pay attention to the costs a lot more.

Yep that's the movement. I can see from your pictures though that the wrist section on that glove slides across the back of the wrist. The problem with the Sklz one is that it's strapped to the wrist and can't move. As long as you have that movement I can't see a downside to the one he has other than making sure he only uses it occasionally to check that he has a flat wrist rather than relying on it to flatten his wrist for him. :)

WOW! i'm not messing around with books, dvds, or lessons ANYMORE! just read the website, and this glove will surely have me in the low 70's soon. i mean, IT FIXES EVERYTHING!

For less than the price of a box of golf balls, SureWrist lets you
  • Make solid contact and enjoy the sensation of compressing the ball
  • Hit it longer and more accurately
  • Cure your slices (and hooks too)
  • Pitch and chip it closer and make more putts like the pros
  • Properly address the ball and finish your swing (see details in the How it Works page)
  • Use it on the course and on the practice range
  • Have complete freedom when you hinge your wrist properly (see pictures on the right) instead of cupping

Yes, it seemed kind of stupid to me too until I saw my son's improvements.  I used to give him strokes but this season we are even.  Maybe my age is catching up to me It's definitely cheap comparing to the Swing Glove or the Tour Striker.

My son doesn't wear it on every hole now that he's used to the feelings.  He puts it on only when his swing is shaky or when he's got a tough lie.

One thing I noticed when he let me try it on the putting green was that the feel of the putts were different.  It's like I've found a new and better sweet spot.  Every putt felt very solid and the ball came out hotter.

    • I have a couple of trips planned, although golf was a secondary component in each.  In February we're going to visit some friends near Naples, so Mary Anne and I have added on a few days to stay and play at Streamsong.  Then In March we're going to Hawaii (again), and will almost certainly get in a few rounds there.
    • My next golf trip will probably be a short one, but I’m really looking forward to it. I’m thinking of staying relatively close, picking a spot with a few solid courses and making a long weekend out of it. For me, the best golf trips are about good courses, relaxed vibes, and time away with friends.
    • Nah, man. People have been testing clubs like this for decades at this point. Even 35 years. @M2R, are you AskGolfNut? If you're not, you seem to have fully bought into the cult or something. So many links to so many videos… Here's an issue, too: - A drop of 0.06 is a drop with a 90 MPH 7I having a ball speed of 117 and dropping it to 111.6, which is going to be nearly 15 yards, which is far more than what a "3% distance loss" indicates (and is even more than a 4.6% distance loss). - You're okay using a percentage with small numbers and saying "they're close" and "1.3 to 1.24 is only 4.6%," but then you excuse the massive 53% difference that going from 3% to 4.6% represents. That's a hell of an error! - That guy in the Elite video is swinging his 7I at 70 MPH. C'mon. My 5' tall daughter swings hers faster than that.
    • Yea but that is sort of my quandary, I sometimes see posts where people causally say this club is more forgiving, a little more forgiving, less forgiving, ad nauseum. But what the heck are they really quantifying? The proclamation of something as fact is not authoritative, even less so as I don't know what the basis for that statement is. For my entire golfing experience, I thought of forgiveness as how much distance front to back is lost hitting the face in non-optimal locations. Anything right or left is on me and delivery issues. But I also have to clarify that my experience is only with irons, I never got to the point of having any confidence or consistency with anything longer. I feel that is rather the point, as much as possible, to quantify the losses by trying to eliminate all the variables except the one you want to investigate. Or, I feel like we agree. Compared to the variables introduced by a golfer's delivery and the variables introduced by lie conditions, the losses from missing the optimal strike location might be so small as to almost be noise over a larger area than a pea.  In which case it seems that your objection is that the 0-3% area is being depicted as too large. Which I will address below. For statements that is absurd and true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. You will need to provide some objective data to back that up and also define what true 100% sweet spot is. If you mean the area where there are 0 losses, then yes. While true, I do not feel like a not practical or useful definition for what I would like to know. For strikes on irons away from the optimal location "in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?"   In my opinion it ok to be dubious but I feel like we need people attempting this sort of data driven investigation. Even if they are wrong in some things at least they are moving the discussion forward. And he has been changing the maps and the way data is interpreted along the way. So, he admits to some of the ideas he started with as being wrong. It is not like we all have not been in that situation 😄 And in any case to proceed forward I feel will require supporting or refuting data. To which as I stated above, I do not have any experience in drivers so I cannot comment on that. But I would like to comment on irons as far as these heat maps. In a video by Elite Performance Golf Studios - The TRUTH About Forgiveness! Game Improvement vs Blade vs Players Distance SLOW SWING SPEED! and going back to ~12:50 will show the reference data for the Pro 241. I can use that to check AskGolfNut's heat map for the Pro 241: a 16mm heel, 5mm low produced a loss of efficiency from 1.3 down to 1.24 or ~4.6%. Looking at AskGolfNut's heatmap it predicts a loss of 3%. Is that good or bad? I do not know but given the possible variations I am going to say it is ok. That location is very close to where the head map goes to 4%, these are very small numbers, and rounding could be playing some part. But for sure I am going to say it is not absurd. Looking at one data point is absurd, but I am not going to spend time on more because IME people who are interested will do their own research and those not interested cannot be persuaded by any amount of data. However, the overall conclusion that I got from that video was that between the three clubs there is a difference in distance forgiveness, but it is not very much. Without some robot testing or something similar the human element in the testing makes it difficult to say is it 1 yard, or 2, or 3?
