Received my Tour Striker PlaneMate yesterday. I won't be doing TS's protocols. At least not right now. I'm still in off-season training with True Motion Golf and will be using the TS as an adjunct to their training regimen.
I have poor body position awareness (proprioception). Thus repetition, correct repetition, it vitally necessary for me to become adept at something like the golf swing. I think the PM will help me get there, and I think it's going to help me right out of the gate.
True Motion teaches micro-moves. You get the micro-moves right, then you stack them atop other micro-moves to get a golf swing. So your mind and body, instead of trying to learn several things at one time, learns one thing at a time and learns to add that to other things. I just ran into my first speed bump: The take-away. My take-away flaws were impeding my ability to move forward. Enter the PM.
My right knee is bunged-up atm, so I'm having to suspend my training, but curiosity got the better of me, last night. I just had to see. So I reviewed the Day 1 TS PM protocol and gave just the take-away motion (P1 -> P2) a try. I'll have to get in front of the mirrors and video myself to be certain, but my initial impression is the PM's really going to help me get over my speed bump.
