Tour Strker anyone?

[vkurup]

Has anyone come across (or used) a tour striker - a practice aid. Comes from across the pond. American and a few others sell it. The videos look promising. However, it is not cheap.. approx 77 quid for new as well as fleabay. Is it any good?

PS: Could not find any post on the forum before.. hence created a new one.

I've always been deeply sceptical. Doesn't seem like a gadget for us regular players.

I have a Tour Striker Pro 7. It is intended as a practice aid for players who do not hit down on the ball and therefore don't get much compression. I have only used it at the range, and to be honest, I don't think it is too hard to hit, but I tend to hit down on the ball pretty well. If hitting down on the ball is a problem for you, then it may be worth a punt, but only really at a bargain price. I wouldn't pay full retail for it.

@Ethan tnx.. Indeed...In my case, I hardly take a divot and hence was considering to get it. Though I dont take a divot, i hit my 6i about 160y, so kind of caught in the two minds. Agree the full retail is out of question, in my mind not more than 30 is where I picture it. Havent seen that price on fleabay yet.
