Today we have another video in our series on compression, with Ian and Mac in the studio to bring you the Tour Striker 7 Iron. The Tour Striker design has little club face and no grooves below the sweet spot, forcing you to hit it properly for every successful delivery.

Whoa. This is a properly old school piece of tech. Always wanted to buy one of these! Excited for this vid.
You guys getting the new Takomo's???
Get Martin Chuck to visit in your studio.
Mac hits it better right handed than I do as a natural righty.
Thank yuo! excellent , bro.
love training aid videos. I'm a sucker for any training aid
The Tour Striker and DST Compressor are two of the best training aids ever to help get proper contact through the ball
Great video from 2 of the coolest guys in golf! Always wondered about this training aid, so I'm glad to hear it can help with compression.
Martin Chuck is GOAT
Very useful information. I have 7 & 5 striker. It’s very helpful when you do videos on training aides. Then we know if they work and how to use them.
Very helpful, thank you!
What should I do if I swing right handed I let go of my left hand at impact
I was teeing off on a par 4 a few years ago when I noticed I had my Tour Striker 7I in the bag. After I hit my driver, I hit a 6 iron off the ground, and hit it well. Then I hit my Tour Striker 7I off the turf, hit it well and was at least 15 yards past my 6I.
Old school teachers wouldn't use a stick, they would have you use your watch, lol.
I would love to see you do a video with a high handicapper using the Tour Striker. Those with early releases would love to see how helpful it is. I have been using the Tour Striker at the range lately and it has really helped.
I would have hit the shaft further than the ball! 🙁
Had one of these for a few years. Tend to hit half a dozen or so balls with it when I visit the range. Really good bit of kit.
Not sure about the 70's look though. Breaking out the bell-bottoms would be fun
Can't thank you and the TXG Team enough! I've had a Tour Striker Pro for a few years and hit it pure but your lesson in a shallower approach and Mac's drill for not opening the face going back has completely changed the sound of my irons, increased my distance and lowered my flight. Best golf content on YouTube!
I had a couple of lessons with Adam Bazellgette in Florida 2 years ago and getting the right grooves on the right dimples of the golf ball was all we worked on. He did it with the towel behind the ball method. Twenty years ago when I played a lot of golf, virtually nobody talked about this stuff. The metrics I got from TXG during my fittings was perfect preparation for those lessons. It sure is fun getting better when everybody thinks you’ve got nowhere to go but down!
Tour striker 7 iron and planemate together?????? For mid to high handicap?
FWIW, I have both and they really help me learn
How do you hit up and reduce loft like Mac does? Surely he has some forward shaft lean to reduce the loft
Great video guys…. @MacBoucherGolf shoe game is 💪 ….
Nice vid. Very talented. Probably also helps for maintaining speed on Mac's dominant side? Ian lefty is next!😃
I hit one of those a few years ago and I could hit it solid on a mat but I struggled on grass.
Tour stryker sales just jumped up.lol
Anxious to see what Mac would look like with both a LH/RH "PSP (Pure Solid Perfect)" iron
Putting the PRESS in Compression!! Great vid Ian and Mac!! #moremac #moretxg
I do not have a lot of swing speed, So what would be a good ball height be? And wouldn't the lower ball flight hurt the landing angle and stopping power? I certainly am not disagreeing with you like everyone I want as much distance as I can get. But with a slower swing speed what is the point where the distance is not worth the loss of stopping power.
It’s Matt with a moustache
Its a great tool
Tour striker is a PHENOMENAL training aid; I've owned one for years…but I just don't use it enough…
Also, I USED to use a Wally Armstrong tempo ball…it's a yellow plastic ball on a blue string; I used that for years with my tempo
Thanks for the video… Can you guys do the Lag Shot
Love that we brought in a training aid and drill to help with compression 🙌 I've never struggled with this but have tried to help so many who do. This video series is awesome!!!
