Spoiler

 

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.

    • Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite 
    • How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

    • I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up. 
    • Super narrow hole. Stroke average will likely be well over par here. Since it seems like it only plays what 300-305 for you from white tees I don't think 7i - 7i is the worst play if 7i dispersion is small enough that it would hardly ever reach the penalty hazards.  But if your 7i dispersion brings the hazards into play then you're likely better off hitting something further up there since everything would have the hazard in play.
