My Member Review

Yes I know, it’s a towel. But I’m a bit of a towel addict on the course. I received my Players Towel as a token from TST in exchange for reviewing it so I didn’t deal directly with the company with the order.

That being said, I certainly will be using this towel. On first impression it looks very nice with the TST logo embroidered as well as my name. A fine job done. You can have your towel custom embroidered if you like that sort of thing (can make for a great gift). The towel is large enough to use for club cleaning on one side and for personal use on the other if you like. It’s soft and shouldn’t cause any discomfort to hour hands or face. 

The towel actually feels a bit thinner than ClubGlove towels but actually came to like that as it’s lighter. However the Players Towel is every bit as durable. 

The slit is slightly smaller than other towels tend to have. But I’ve found the larger slits actually increase the chance of the towel dropping off unless you have it hanging off your driver head when walking. The Players Towel is a better fit I feel. Not sure why the stitching isn’t lined up and somewhat overlapped around the slit. But who cares? Not to mention I appreciate the reinforcement as other towels I’ve used have torn at the slit edges.

I often wet one end for cleaning and the Players Towel is plenty long to allow for that so another plus. It also retained the moisture surprisingly well being that it feels thin. But again, I pulled hard on this towel and it’s well made.

Final test for me was how it would hold up from washing. Absolutely fine. So overall I gotta say I will order a Players Towel when I next need (want) one. The pics shown are after two washes and the colors and fabric have held up just fine.

If you’re a towel user be it on the course or the practice tee this towel can not disappoint you.

The TST logo and your name, to be clear, are dye sublimated. The stitching is along the edges and the putter slit. Dye-Sub is great because it doesn't wear out, doesn't change the consistency of the towel or the feel, etc.

Yes this is true sorry about that. I actually washed it twice (once alone the other with other stuff).... held up great.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
