I think the Torc is great for exaggerating different sensations in your mapping and practice swings. What I didn't like, was the way the company reps made it seem like it was fine and dandy to hit balls with (because it was clearly what we wanted to hear), but, much later on, admitted that you should not hit balls with it as it can damage your clubs. That was misleading and shady. 

Maybe I'm mis-remembering it, it was a few years ago, but that's my recollection.  

But as long as you are aware that it is not designed to actually hit balls with, it definitely is useful for practice and working on feels. 

 

Maybe OT...

I think it's totally fine to hit balls with it just beneath the grip.

And I regularly hit balls with the Torc at slower speeds even down closer to the clubhead. It's particularly helpful in teaching players to pitch (ask @Hardspoon).

Yeah, I followed up in a few PMs… it hasn't come through. Whether because of a typo or something else, I don't know. I've looked everywhere.

Yup - I've been using it for a few days now to practice my pitching (really helps me get the feeling of letting the club do the work), and I've been hitting real balls with it while doing so.  I wouldn't use it on a graphite-shafted club to hit balls at full speed or anything...but I'm guessing that they had to make that "disclaimer" just so they weren't responsible if something went wrong.

Sorry, guys. Fully intended on getting these out in the mail today, but I'm going to have to print them up and get them mailed off tomorrow.

If your address is at all wrong in your PayPal account, please make sure I have your correct address in my PM inbox. If you're not sure, send me a PM just to be safe.

Thanks.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
