Dear Sirs:
This is just to let you know that I had my first hole-in-one on 2/15/10 after using your product, the Tour Striker Pro, for less than a week!
It was an uphill par 3, measuring 154 yards, and I used a 6 iron.
I saw that my playing partners were all short and left (there was a slight crosswind coming from the right), so I decided to be aggressive and hit over a bunker which was on the front right of the green (which was why I think everyone was avoiding the right side). I hit it flush and it came back just right. I saw it bounce near the pin and I was hoping for a close birdie putt.
Because it was an uphill hole, I didn't actually see the ball go in. As I approached the green, I couldn't see my ball - I became concerned that I might have overshot the hole. After about 30 seconds, my cart partner suggested that I might check the cup. Sure enough, there was my ball! In fact, the ball mark was only four inches away from the cup - talk about pinpoint accuracy!
I absolutely feel your product (Tour Striker Pro) was a big reason for my hole-in-one. I have always been able to score well, but I have never thought that I hit my irons as crisp as I should, or that my distance was what I thought I deserved (especially for the amount of practice that I put in). Using your product has been a revelation. For the first time, I really feel the ball compress and I am getting consistent distance and trajectory. Also, the wind is affecting my balls much less if at all, and I can be aggressive through the impact and not be scared of my usual shot - a hook or slice (probably partially due to my left wrist not being flat). Swinging your club, even without a ball, before my round, reminded me of the correct position.
For the record, I shot a one-over 74 (par 73). I had a chance to shoot an even par round, but since the hole-in-one was on hole #17, and I was so excited - I had a bogey on #18!
I look forward to seeing how much I can improve using your product. Thank you again for a great product. It absolutely works.

I shot an 83 from the tips at our harder course. It's by far my best round considering the fact that I had a hard time breaking 100. I was averaging 96. The Tour Striker along with lessons helped me get there. I am hitting about 1.75 club lengths longer. I'm no longer worried about being too far out because I know an easy swing will get me on the Green.
Thanks Again - Andre Galiber

Golf is easy, even when you strike the ball like a pro. After only 1 hour on the driving range I hit the ball solid and with a better distance. So now I can give more power to my stroke. I've tried for 2 years to kill the early release and I think, with this club and some more hours on the range it will be done.
Thank you very much (excuse my bad english) - Juergen S. (from Germany)

First let me say that I think your product is revolutionary.
It is teaching me to create lag in my swing, which is a "conscience" image. It is also teaching me to hit down on the ball and compress it, which is done intuitively because of the club design.
The big surprise for me is that it has had a dramatic effect off the tee, and with my hybrids and fairway woods off the deck! After practicing with the tour pro a few times, I had my most consistent tee game ever. I contribute this to creating lag by rotating my torso and letting my arms follow.
The progress with irons is improving, but much more slowly. I'm hitting down more consistently with the striker than with my irons! I'm hitting some quality shots with my irons, but not with the same consistency as I am now hitting my hybrids and woods. Since the Striker is an intuitive tool I am not going to over analyze this and be patient.
Thanks for listening - Nathan S.

I've now had several sessions at the range with my Tour Striker, and results so far have been encouraging. I tend to suffer from the usual faults afflicting high handicappers, and I especially am prone to "flipping" my hands at impact and hitting thin shots. I've found that by practicing with the Tour Striker, I am slowly getting out of this habit and have begun to hit my iron shots much more solidly by being forced to hit down on the ball. On the course, I've noticed that my iron shots are mostly taking healthy divots and I hit far fewer fat and thin shots. I'm confident that continued practice with the Tour Striker will totally eradicate these mishits.
In short, I think it's a great training aid which teaches you as much about correct impact in half an hour of swinging as a bunch of lessons, at a fraction of the cost. I would recommend it to anyone who is seriously looking to improve their game and learn to hit the ball correctly.
- Yours Sincerely

I purchased the tour striker this summer. I am an avid student of the Golfing Machine by Homer Kelly and can tell you that no swing aid, of which I have many, has put my swing in the impact position necessary for good golf as your product. It has improved my iron play at least three strokes. I am ten yards longer with every iron in the bag. My main issue has been over hitting greens. Thanks for that problem, it is a fun one to have. - Roger K.

Mr. Chuck -
Just a quick note regarding the Tour Striker. Mine came in this week and I was able to take it to the range today. I must say that I was impressed. I expected it to help me find that good contact that I currently get only once out of every 6 shots, and it did that well. However what I was not expecting and was pleasantly surprised to find is that it helped me feel how to use my arms equally. I had always believed that the short iron shots were predominately right arm dominant (I'm right handed) and that the long irons and woods were a left arm dominant shot. For some reason with the Tour Striker I was able to feel how to use both arms equally. I could tell when I overpower the swing with my right arm (which now I realize is the cause of me hitting behind the ball).
Over all an excellent training aid that I will definitely recommend to my friends.
Thanks,
Richard

Dear Martin,
I just wanted to let you know your service is great. Ordered the club on Sunday night and got it on Wednesday. Rushed to the range to hit balls with it and after a little tweaking of my wrists started striping the ball 150 yards with it. I then switched to my Titleist 690.mb 8 iron and hit the 150 yard target at will.
You have created a great product. If you plan to do infomercials on the Golf Channel, you better up production. You will sell a bunch.
Very satisfied golfer,

I just tried my Tour Striker iron out the other day. I hit about 15 - 20 balls with it, enough that I started to hit it properly more often than not. Then I grabbed my 7 iron. Just the sound alone of my first strike blew me away. I turned to a friend of mine and just said "WOW! I remember that sound." He said that he thought I was a pretty good ball striker before but apparently not. Shot after shot exploded off my club, took off with a penetrating flight, left a nice even divot and just felt awesome. Some of my members came over to see what we were doing so I let them hit the club. With the S-300 shaft it is on the heavy side but they got the hang of it. Then they took their own clubs and proceeded to smoke em!
Just wanted to let you know that you are on to something with this and that I am a big fan.

I really look forward to the TS Pro coming out and, if anyone is reading this and thinking about purchasing the TS, my advice would be go ahead and do it. It certainly is the best training club I have ever had (and I have had quite a few!!)

Hi Martin,
First of all thank you for such a great product, it is the first training aid I have used, and gave me instant feedback to how I was
striking the ball and how I SHOULD be striking the ball!

I've used the Tour Striker for about two weeks and I think this is one of the best golf training aids ever. It requires no set-up, you actually get to hit golf shots and you get instant feed back, fantastic training club.

I received your Tour Striker a few weeks ago and I have to say that it has really changed the way I hit my irons. I always used to throw the clubhead at the ball from the top and ended up casting and flipping big time. On video, my hands would be in front of my right thigh at impact and behind the ball.
Just a few solid shots with the Tour Striker and now I know how it feels to have the hands ahead at impact. My wrists are much looser and it seems like my arms and hands are working faster through the impact zone, instead of stalling and flipping. I can totally feel the lag now. I also have the PBS (Pure Ball Striker) and that has helped a little as well. The feeling was pretty easy to transfer over to my regular irons. Great training aid!
