I’ve said it before, and I’m going to say it again in the beginning of this review. I’m usually pretty skeptical of most golf training aids. But the ones made by Tour Striker are the best in the game. They truly live up to the claims they make.
Tour Striker founder, Martin Chuck, and his team just came out with a new training aid I had the chance to try. I was so excited about it, I couldn’t wait to write a review on it, because I think it can really help your game, just like it did mine.
It’s the Tour Striker Impact Sling.
So, let’s not waste any more time and jump right into what this training aid is all about.
Key Features
Resistance bands increase strength and flexibility.
10 video lessons with Martin Chuck tell you everything you need to know to use the Impact Sling.
Door anchor makes it easy to use the Impact Sling indoors when you can’t get to the course.
Design and Technology
One of the things that draws me to Tour Striker training aids is how simple they are to use. The Impact Sling is no different, yet it’s highly effective.
The basic function of the Impact Sling is to mirror the timeless rope drill all the game’s best instructors have been using with their students for decades. But it goes a step further. Thanks to the grip handle and weighted resistance bands, the drill also does wonders in helping you perfect your tempo and timing.
Each of the color-coded resistance bands has a different weight. By using each of the bands, you can increase strength and flexibility and warm up efficiently, while also delivering the club squarely on-plane to the ball at impact every time.
I’m also a big fan of the anchor which attaches easily to any door. Having the ability to use the Impact Sling from the comfort of my home when I can’t get to the course is a big perk.

Our Experience
One of the things I’ve been working on during my journey to become a single-digit handicap this year is delivering the club to impact more on-plane, instead of over the plane.
The Tour Striker Impact Sling has been instrumental in getting me into a better spot coming into the golf ball. My contact has improved dramatically, and I’ve even gained a little distance.
Like most Tour Striker products I’ve tried, I’m a big believer in the Impact Sling.
