The original Tour Striker PlaneMate received the prestigious designation as the “Best New Product” at the PGA Merchandise Show when it first came out. Even at that, I was still a bit skeptical of this belt you wear that comes with connective resistance bands that you then hook to your club. Frankly, the thing just looked way too complicated for me to use.

But then I tried it out for a few swings and noticed an immediate difference in the sequencing of my golf swing, and the number of solid shots I was hitting. 

But by Martin Chuck’s own admission, there were some design and functional improvements that needed to be made.

That’s why he and his team decided to go back to the drawing board and have now come out with the Tour Striker PlaneMate 2.0.

This training aid accomplishes everything of its predecessor, but is a whole lot more functional.

Let’s take a more in-depth look at what it’s all about.

Key Features

Training aid teaches you proper takeaway positions and promotes inside to out swing path for consistent contact and ball flight.

Training aid fits everyone including juniors, ladies, and men of all shapes and sizes.

Training aid allows you to hit balls while you’re using it.

Design and Technology

Even though the Tour Striker PlaneMate 2.0 looks like quite the contraption at first site, it’s actually quite simple in its design and function. 

It starts with a well-built adjustable belt that attaches easily around your waist. 

Once you have the belt secured, you can choose from any one of three resistance bands and connect it to the front of your belt. 

From there, just attach the opposite end of the band to your club with the club connector and you’re ready to start swinging.

But hold on, that’s not all that’s included with the Plane Mate2.0.

You also get a belt extender, the club connector, three interchangeable resistance bands, the “Getting Started” video series that shows how to use the PlaneMate 2.0, free USA shipping, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

All of that for just $247!

As I mentioned in the opening, I was a big fan of the original Tour Striker PlaneMate. I’m even more impressed with the PlaneMate 2.0. Not only does it accomplish everything as its predecessor, it’s also a lot more well-built and fits any golfer, no matter their shape or size. 

Like most every other Tour Striker training aid I’ve ever tried, I’m a big fan of the PlaneMate 2.0.
