It's really hard to use. I'd say the average golfer won't be able to do it. It's a great idea, but in my opinion it has some design flaws.

There are no design flaws, this is designed for a more advanced player who hits at least the club face every shot (not necessarily the sweet spot). This club is designed to only work if you swing the club correctly. It has only the sweet spot available for striking which makes it difficult to hit. You cannot hit it on the toe or the heel, you must hit the sweet spot at a descending angle, like you should hit all of your iron shots and some wood shots. It is meant to train your coordination and acuity, if other more important issues like basic swing mechanics exist then one should stay away from aids like this until they have a solid foundation to build on.
Thats exactly my point. It's not designed for the average golfer but the ads make it seem like it is. Most good/advanced players that I see don't have a problem hitting the clubface/sweet spot.
True, but say a player like me with a handicap around 13(less difficult courses) can benefit from some fine motor skill training with a tool like this, I can hit the ball on the sweet spot at a descending angle, just only about 50-60 percent of the time. Using this club would likely increase my percentage of solid hits. I think a player with a decent swing could greatly benefit from this club. I felt this ad appealed to players that have a grooved swing just not the correct one. The ads never claim to fix hooks slices or thins or fats. I am not trying to be offensive, enjoying friendly debate. We all love the same thing after all!

The Tour Striker is a great tool. I am a teacher and have found the club useful with 20+ handicaps. The problem most people have with the club is that they do not have any idea why they flip in the first place. I would go see a teacher and bring the tool along.
