Over the last number of years, I’ve been fortunate to get to know Martin Chuck, who’s the founder of the Tour Striker Golf Academy here at the Raven Golf Club in Phoenix.
One of our writers also spent a lot of time working one-on-one with Martin when he was playing professionally years ago.
We both agree that Martin’s not only a great guy, but he’s an amazing teacher and training aid designer.
In fact, his Tour Striker line of game improvement tools has proven one of the most successful in the history of the game.
In today’s review, I want to tell you all about one of Martin’s newest training aids that builds on the success of the original Tour Striker. It’s the Tour Striker Pro X7.
This new iteration is fairly new to the market but has already received rave reviews from golfers whose games have improved because of it.
Let’s take a closer look at how it can help your game too.
Key Features
Sweet spot that’s the size of a quarter trains you to make solid, flush contact on every swing.
Training aid teaches you to add lag and deliver the clubface properly at impact.
Training aid allows you to hit real golf balls.
Design and Technology
The design of the Pro X7 is pretty simple, just like its predecessor.
It’s the length and weight of a standard men’s 7-iron. However, the face of the club is inverted and the actual hitting surface is the literal size of a quarter. We’re talking tiny.
Chances are you’re going to struggle when you first start using this training aid. However, with enough practice, you’ll teach yourself to intuitively deliver the sweet spot to impact in the proper fashion. That means the clubface is square to the target, the shaft is leaning forward, and the angle of attack is descending.
Again, the design of the Pro X7 is super simple, but it proves highly effective in practice.
Tour Striker Pro X7 Training Aid
The Tour Striker Pro X 7 Iron is a golf club designed to help golfers improve their game by teaching them to hit down and through the ball like a professional.
This technique leads to increased club head speed and greater distance with more control. The club provides instant feedback to help golfers improve their iron shots.
PROS
- Training aid is simple to use and doesn’t require any special setup.
- Quarter-size sweet spot gives you optimal feedback when you’re making the correct motion.
- Training aid allows you to hit real golf balls unlike other training aids.
CONS
- Training aid comes in a size that’s only suited for men.
- May not be the best choice for beginning golfers or golfers that haven’t previously practiced with the original Tour Striker.
- Price point is slightly higher than some other training aids.
Our Experience
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time working with the original Tour Striker during my journey to become a single-digit handicap by the end of the year. And there’s no doubt it’s allowed me to see huge improvements in my ball striking.
Only recently have I started working with the Tour Striker Pro X7. And I’ll be the first to admit that it’s really difficult to hit consistently. However, as I’ve continued to practice with it more and more, it’s become easier to hit. And as a result, my ball striking continues to improve faster than it ever has before.
