Tour Angle 144

dukie4e · November 28, 2011

Anyone have and experiences with this or understand the logic behind it?

The operative word on their website is "promotes." That's really the top limit to what any training aid can do - promote, which is quite different from words like "solving," or "fixing" or any other word that involves learning. The aid can "show," but none of them can ingrain. Ingraining requires knowing how to build habits, and any aid properly utilized can help point the way to what needs to be learned, but they do not come with a built in memory function. You must known how that one works and be able to process that learning and development. That's why you see players chase one after another looking for something that will deliver "permanent," but that does not exist.

You might want to delay a few months and get the "accelerator" by Martin Chuck ,the inventor of the Tour Striker.I will review it in the next 2 weeks

Also interested to see some reviews. Looks like this thing could really help with takeaway issues.

there are a lot of good training aids out there and a lot of bad ones. i dont understand what this one is trying to achieve.

I'm pretty sure this was originally called the SwingPact. They were discontinued for a while because they needed a new mold for the training aid. Now that they found the new mold, they're calling it Tour Angle 144.... Interesting marketing

I love the TA144. Easily one of the best and most simple tools I've ever used. A lot of touring pros use it. My biggest use for it is in the short game with a dead hands chip that really helps people understand the simplicity of chipping. The previous version was very good but I find the new version perfecto with great feedback.

I see it as the easiest way for someone to eliminate casting in the DS and or a flip near impact.

TA144 = Tour Angle 144..... Sorry, I use the TA144 abbreviation so much in conversation with students I typed it that way
I have a Tour Striker also. LOL I've got lots of useful tools.

Anymore feedback on this training aid. Worth the money ? Trying to solve flipping at the top

xabia · August 6, 2012

I'm picking one of these up because I am having a bit of trouble holding the angles together right now.. I will post my thoughts on it in a few weeks

rimrock · February 18, 2013

The original Tourangle144 was called Swingpact. If I am right Swingpact stated that the angle of tour players was 150 degrees. Now, I don't know who went around to all the tour pros and measured their angle but I guess it could be done. Whether it is 144 or 150 degrees I don't care but $40 for a piece of plastic is really pushing it for pricing. Even the Educator is $30.00 which is an awful lot for a piece of plastic.

As keygolf stated "the operative word on their website is "promotes."" so I doubt this thing really will help anyone in the long run.

doxtr111 · February 18, 2013

I bought one for $29 last year. Just broke it out again yesterday and it helps me quite a bit. Well worth the money for me.

Lesmond · April 8, 2013

Might have to pick one from from their site. Having posture issues and of course takeaways.

Gotta do a little research on the site they have before i shell out $40 for it.
