Tourstriker Planemate

[ZAP]

Took mine in today to work with my HS golfer. Had five of them using it over the course of a couple of hours with very good results for a number of different swing flaws.

Can't wait to get them on to the rest of the protocols.

[Cwing]

Keep us posted not only on the the progress of your players but also on the durability of the planemate.

[ZAP]

Yes that is one of my concerns using it with multiple players. I guess we will find out. Any teachers here using it with clients over a long period of time yet?

[Stanks]

Well that is the other problem with lessons. I know plenty of teachers and pros and interns alike and they all say the same thing. If you purchase one lesson, say an introductory lesson, and tell your instructor your problem and what you wanna get away with. A one time instructor could screw you up so bad that you'll never go back and be stuck with the same problem or even a new one as well. Instructors know when to implement a quick fix or understand if there is going to be follow up.

Here is where the planemate comes into play. Now, I recommend a good trend that I've seen on IG, take a before and after video with the planemate. You'll see a difference.

I've finally got to the range to go through protocols today. Few shots on and off only going from club parallel to club parallel. I immediately noticed an extreme lacking of effort to get those partial shots out there to 60, 80 and 100 yards. That is very promising. The big muscles are working a lot less and getting much more out of the swing.

Another thing noticed is the impact on the club face and wear marks specifically being maybe 2 or 3 grooves lower in the club face. Flippers can have a higher ball flight and less length when they stop rotating and the hands get their momentum carrying.

Thus far, I'm impressed. It's a long road to travel, though. My new swing action has shades of pros with a steep backswing, shallow and low exit with good compression and balance. My only reservation is that I am leaking to the right a little bit with longer irons. Undoubtedly, wrist conditions or a setup issue but, 1 step at a time.

Well I thought I was making progress because I feel as though I keep the tension going back, and then get through and the band doesn’t get caught up and my hands are left. I videoed myself and I almost threw up. Even with it on, roll it inside stall flip standing almost straight up at impact but somehow can cheat where the band doesn’t get flipped under. Really disappointed as this is only a half wedge and feel I look worse than when I started.

[lchang]

? I thought this wasn’t supposed to be possible?

[stingerfade]

It’s almost as if I half flip at impact and the band and handle create a wedge after impact again. My brain is very smart haha because that’s the finish. I understand it’s been only a few days and not expecting Rory on video but at least I thought the takeaway would look better. Oh well just going to grind this out. With mirror vision and no ball it looks pretty good. Put the ball there and it’s the same old crap move!

ive always had a weird move where I stall flip but can still get low point with irons 2-3 inches in front of the ball with a nice divot which supposedly isn’t supposed to happen. With driver this move just kills my game thus ordering the planemate!

[Jonlewis031]

Pics/video of your move with PM?

[Ty_Webb]

I’ve been using mine for a few days now. One thing I find is with the band off but shortly after using it the “ghost arms” thing makes my backswing better but then want to throw the club way outside in transition (half wedge swings). Today is protocol 4 which I think really accentuates the relax move. I wonder if that’s why at speed the relax move is only very small.

There is a part of me that is worried this will leave me in limbo between two swings. My chipping and pitching move feels leagues better already though. Hopefully full swing will be the same

 

[kevinho]

I'm basically doing the same thing. I'll try to post a face on view of me but I can definitely do a short stall/flip but not have the band tangle me up. So I'm making sure to check my swings face on.

[Stanks]

Played a round today with the feels still in tact from a range session yesterday. The real magic of the planemate sticks with you on the chipping motion and full swing. I was missing some shots but noticed my arms felt like they were lacking structure. Incorporated that and it was another game. Shaved 6 strokes off the back 9 from the front. Lots of better situations. My putting isn't great so that is another adventure.

[PTM]

Anyone finding their short shots heading left? The softer shots are worse, 15-20 yarders are worst and I’m straight when I hit about 60 yards.

[M44km44k]

Hey everyone quick question here. How long are the bands and any idea what tension they are? (5lb,10lb etc.)

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. Spent about an hour reading through this post looking for this info, but this thing is so darn long it might take me 2 days to read it all.

Can't wait to get one, looks like the results are amazing! Keep the good Info coming!

[Cwing]

If I don’t get far enough left with my finish, I leave it out to the right. Very similar to the issue when working with the Power Package.

[SC-TX 88]

I’m having this happen as well.

[PTM]

Do more turn into the left? That actually makes sense if the longer pitches are straightening out.

[Stanks]

Hook left? Hard draw left? Or just a straight pull? All can be a result of setup, lineup, ball position etc. If this is a new thing just learned with planemate then it's a possibility you're letting the swing be a shade too flat.

[Krt22]

hard to hook a draw a 20 yard shot. On such a short shot I bet they are getting a bit quick and then stalling and flipping. Monte's accelerate like a minivan might help.

[stingerfade]

Short shot heading left is a face issue, prob as krt said above

[kobe123]

People who are hitting it dead left are most likely laid off and coming in steep and swinging hard left. This is the main reason I ended up selling mine.

[lchang]

Meaning that... training with the PM made it worse (or didn’t address this problem)?

[SC-TX 88]

I’m hitting mine slightly left because of path, nothing to do with being steep I’m simply not getting the club in the right spot. When I say left I’m talking 4-5 feet of my target.

[kobe123]

For me, yes. I got super laid off. It just wasn't for me.

[kobe123]

So above it was 15-20 yards, now it's 4-5 feet?

 

I'm curious as to why the complaint if only 4-5 feet?Post a swing so we can see

[SC-TX 88]

That wasn’t me above amigo. Pay more attention to details and read. I never said I was 15-20 yards. Just agreed I’m missing left so far.

[swizbeatz]

Anyone want to give a total noob some advice? Just got mine, go to the website and work on the intro protocol for a few sessions?

[BogeyWorkman]

I was very happy at first just hitting shots with foam balls indoors but once I moved to where I could see where my contact was it had moved in towards the heel. Then I began hitting a lot of heavy shots. I also was not getting tangled in the band. Not sure how I feel about this aid for me at least.

[kobe123]

So you agreed to the post coming from a guy that is hitting it 15-20 yards left, yet you are only hitting it 4-5 feet left? Come on now, lets be real here. You wouldn't be complaining if it was really was 4-5 feet.

[hurley999s]

Once you watch all the intro ones, I’d do the Day 1 protocol. Then depending how you’re feeling and your schedule, do it again a few times throughout the day. If inside, don’t worry if you can’t hit balls.

[kobe123]

Happened to me as well. I would bet you are getting laid of and swinging across the line because you do not want to get tangled up.
