Has anyone else ever used this torturous device?

My instructor got upset with me today because for the last 4 months, he's been trying to get me to weaken my grip and keeping a flat left wrist through impact and I always revert back to a super strong grip and letting my left wrist break down through impact.  For some reason, I just cannot keep these changes in my setup.  I tend to hit the ball very low and take super deep divots, even to the point of it being painful from hitting into the ground.

So today he shows up with this glove and makes me wear it.  It has a black area where you're supposed to grip the club, and I wasn't gripping the club correctly to begin with.  (something he has told me numerous times)  Then the stiff plastic on the back of my wrist forced me to make a couple changes in my grip at setup just to address the ball squarely.  Then I took my first swing........

OUCH!!!!!!!!!  This thing induced a nice pinch and a little pain on the back of my hand.  I just looked at him and pulled the glove off, but he talked me into putting it back on after a few minutes.  After I was aware that if I let my wrist break down there would be a little pain involved, my swing instantly changed.  I started hitting the ball quite a bit higher after that, and noticed that my finish position changed because of it to a much more comfortable finish and I wasn't swinging as hard at the ball, which shallowed out my divots nicely.

I guess I needed a little pain to actually make changes in my swing, which has been a disaster this year.

Whatever works, I guess.

no, but ive seen it.  ive actually thought about duct-taping a ruler to the back of my left wrist in an effort to keep the thing flat thru impact...

    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
