I've been thinking about one of these for a while, as it's something I am always working on - the comments and discount codes have convinced me to order one, let's hope it helps.

I predict you will buy one, use it twice, then it will stay in the garage for the rest of its life (like mine).

Wonder why they made this an 8 iron. I would have liked to have tried a mid iron one like a 6 iron.

Probably because loft is your friend and it would be easier to get results from and thus improve sales from positive reports :mmm:

Is it a fad, you get them now & then and everyone rushes out looking for the Holy Grail, how have people got on them over a decent period of time and more importantly, has it improved your game, scoring/handicap etc?

Have you used one?

Given that a very large proportion of people on the USPga leaderboards use them if suggest it does work.

Rose and Stenson (arguably 2 of the best ball strikers on tour) use them to warm up religiously, you see photos every week with them using it.

Personally I love mine and the proof for me is in my par 3 performance already this year (long time an issue for me). I'm giving myself a lot of good birdie putts from my mid irons

Mine came yesterday and went out for a play with it. It seems like I have to weaken my grip by about 20° and have my hands outside my left leg to get the lines to line up. Am I doing it wrong or is it showing how wrong my usual set up is?

Shouldn't have to change anything so maybe original set up.

I set up completely normal, and then move my hands forward until the line is parrelel. I certainly do not touch my grip.

The idea is that it replicates the position you should be in @ impact.

Have a look on the DST website and there are a few instructional videos. It also recommends just chipping/pitching with it to start with

I set up as normal then moved my hands forward, but felt like I was twisting my arms clockwise to keep the face straight so released my grip then re-took it when the club was in position.

I think I need to check the videos out :)

Thanks.

No not at all. At impact the club should be delofted 'hence the compression'

Without want to sound'elitist' I do believe it's a 'better' players golf club as most amateurs try and help the ball into the air - the one thing you shouldn't do.

I also think it's something you should be taught to use before diving in.
