Most golfers don’t hit the back of the ball correctly because they’re fundamentals are out of whack.. Grip, aim, shoulder alignment, posture. You can’t consciously delay the release of the wrists, unless you want to slice the rest of your life.

As an update club may be ymmv for me it was useless however distribution company has an interesting return strategy just be careful and ask questions double check order they add custom charge without asking for it the hold that money to make extra profit!

I purchased the x7 and the 5 and the wedge did nothing I was hopeful that the x version would help me exaggerate existing lag like phil warning if you are scratch or plus hc do nut purchase unless you know that you are not juicing the ball already. I am really sad as I really wanted to struggle with the x I actually found my mizzy 68′s harder to hit! Lol

PART 1 of 3 of my response:

Great question and I’ll do my best to give a “technical” answer.

The difference between the punch shot and a full swing all comes down to the transfer of energy. There are other aspects at play such as the position of the ball in relation to your hands (with a punch shot, you place the ball back in your stance – I mean WAY back like by your right little toe), but the main component is energy.

PART 3 of my response:
In a full swing energy is stored at initial impact and continues to build as you release your wrist and as you continue to follow through.
I believe the key to distance is the transfer of energy. Compare in baseball a full swing to a bunt. It’s not all about speed, rather the time the ball compresses against the bat. The longer the compression time, the more energy builds up and releases.

PART 2 of my response:
With a punch shot, you position the ball back in your stance, and you generally don’t release your hands or complete a full swing. All this reduces the time the ball is compressed by the club. Less compression results in less transfer of energy.
So yes, you do compress the ball in a punch shot; however the transfer of energy is much less.

Now I have a question. By seeing this club and where u must have your hands at impact, shouldn’t it be more of a punch shot? But u said it goes higher? And also does this add distance for u?

Awesome! Thanks so much for the great review. On another note, you did a really nice job with the video. Besides the good content about the Tour Striker, the waiting “bit” was cute. Take care and best of luck with your golf career!!
