Tour Striker Pitching Wedge 5-Day Protocol

The Tour Striker Pitching Wedge is designed to help you practice harder than you play. Hit beautiful pitch shots. Hit your pitches with pin seeking accuracy and plenty of spin to get your ball to checkup and stop right next to the hole. You'll learn to deliver the "sweet spot" of the club to the golf ball by impacting with a descending motion and forward shaft lean that all great ball strikers possess.
