Here we go, like I said above, you can see that 6/10 shots were right in the middle. I will hit with the tape on again before I use the driver, I don't think I normally hit 60% on the screws like that.

Thanks war.eagle. I guess what it brings to the table for me is a feeling that I'm doing something right, not something wrong. And to my game, that is often more important than my mechanics.

I took the Pure Shot for the test drive today for around 35 - 40 balls. Several observations. 1.) The club is extremely solid when struck well. 2.) To me, the feed back was immediate on poor shots. I knew the ball wasn't struck well right away. 3.) Many of the poorly struck shots were my normal misses only exaggerated. 4.) The weight of the club is a little bit lighter than mine, and I agree with Jrod that the shaft is a tad whippy. 5.) Near the end of my bucket I thought to myself, " if you hit three solid shots with the Pure Shot in a row you can finish the bucket off with your driver." After those three shots, all struck well, I pulled out my driver. WOW. This is what I was looking for mentally. Standing over the ball, with as much confidence as I have ever had over the ball. I then proceeded to fire out about 6 missiles dead straight on the screws. I felt so good I went out and braved the rain for a quick round of 9. After using the Pure Shot, I proceeded to hit 4 out of 6 fairways in which I used my driver. This is honestly tied for the most fairways I have hit on the front 9 so far this year. I guess for me, I'm using it as more of a mental tool. If my swing feels good, and all my normal positions are reached in my swing, the club delivers and I can find the sweetspot. Once I hit several in a row with it, my confidence level goes up. I didn't try to figure out the issues with my swing with it when balls were struck poorly. I just reset, trusted my swing and form and focused on where I felt like my swing was off to correct it. I'm not sure how it is being marketed exactly, but I did feel like it was a serious confidence booster for me. In that sense, so far, I like it.
Maybe that's all there is to it, you keep hitting balls with it until you begin to hit the sweet spot consistantly and that ingrains good thoughts in your mind....no "how to" for correcting mistakes..it leaves you to try and correct them, but it lets you know immediately what works and what doesn't...that way when you actually hit the sweet spot you know it right away and can try to repeat that swing over and over.
Maybe it's that simple?
Maybe you're right TBT, it sounds like they aren't trying to "fix a swing" but once you have a swing dialed in to use it over and over. I assume it just can't be any more than that. (To JROD's favor, I'm not sure you can't just pound your R7 over and over for the same results).
Then here in lies the big question. Why not just use your regular driver with impact tape? Feedback is still there of course and in my testing, the difference in weight, shaft flex and overall feel of the Pure Shot compared to my driver was pretty substantial. It has not led to anything but further misses for me.
Im glad that some are seeing some nice things out of it. That is the goal of course. Keep up the great work guys, looking forward to hearing more about it.

That's my gut feeling and how I'm approaching it. I feel, at least for me this is how it will be best utilized.
Honest question here my friend;
What happens with you take this thing to the range before your round and you are just barely missing, but you see the ball spraying everywhere. Is this going to have a negative impact when you step up to the first tee and youre thinking to yourself... "I just had the worst range session ever" when in reality it might not have even been that bad?

Just getting caught up on this new test.
A couple of questions for the testers:
1. It appears and I know it was mentioned as an aid, so is it just that...a training aid? So this is not a club you would game on the course and it's not conforming to do so?
2. Maybe I missed it, but what is the price on it?
Before reading any of the reviews and just looking at the club, I'm with Jrod, it is obnoxious looking.
Looking forward to reading more from the reviewers.
+1, it is just an aid. I don't know for sure on price. But the yellow color is actually growing on me a bit, it made me focus more while swinging. Kind of like the white does for me on my woods. It's out of the ordinary and makes me take notice.It's just an aid Biggsy and I blieve the MSRP is 150$.
