Sproutland 99 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Mike Babl, Wisconsin 10.1 Handicap I have a very early release (like so early that the shaft is swinging back by the time it gets to the ball) and end up with a high weak ball flight. I think the DST Compressor would help fix that. Link to post Share on other sites
808nation 1,586 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Allan/NJ 15 If it does what it says, it should definitely help me with having my hands in the forward position at the bottom of my arc and have contact with the ball first before turf.

Seef824 27 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Jon from Iowa 10 Handicap I think this DST will help me with more consistent ball striking because I tend to cast a little too early some times and struggle to make solid contact with my longer irons which sacrifices distance and accuracy.

cc7768 19 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 1. Chase / NY 2. 20-25 handicap (improving) 3. I have been working on learning to strike the ball with my irons. I have struggled with making sure my hands are in front of the ball when making contact and connecting with the ball before the turf. I'm perfectly happy being punished (by the DST clubs) if it ultimately improves my striking Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Mini Hybrids: Adams Tight Lie (3) Irons: 5-A Callaway Apex CF 16 Irons Wedges: Cleveland 588 RTX 2.0 (56/60) Putter: Odyssey White Hot RX 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sharkhark 15 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi there I'm... #1 Craig from... #2 Halifax nova Scotia Canada. Aka sharkhark #3 I'm a 9 handicap. I have always shot well but I'm told I don't hit it far. I don't have forward lean at impact I add loft. I get away with it in short irons but mid to long length shots I just don't swing properly to get that ball to compress right. I have good swing speed with too much added loft. Help me! I've always found the idea of this training tool to be very cool yet for some reason I haven't bought it already? No better time to win a chance to review. I once got asked on a golf review site in Toronto to do a guest review of a course & they said I did such a great job with pictures and my writing they ended up having me do 3 reviews. So I promise should I win I would give it a thorough test and provide a detailed review but concise & to the point with pictures as well. Pick me! Send this DST set of training clubs North of the border! ðŸŒï¸â›³ Sent from my A0001 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Link to post Share on other sites
03trdblack 769 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Rob, Nashville TN 3.3 handicap I actually don't know how/if it will improve my ball striking but really want to try it anyway. My bag is a revolving door! Link to post Share on other sites
JBertsch05 4 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Justin Bertsch, Florida Handicap of 15 The DST Compressor Set could help my ball striking by getting clean contact on the ball. The will help to reduce the amount of fat shots and work to get the correct amount of shaft lean at contact. I previously used the Tour Striker 7 iron and this would be a good comparison. I currently have an issue with thinning wedge shots, so this would also assist in getting better contact especially from tight lies. Link to post Share on other sites
tjguidry 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 1. Your name and home state/province 2. Your current handicap 3. How you think the DST Compressor Set can help your ball striking TJ Guidry Louisiana, USA handicap 20 I have not played golf in +20 years. Just picked up the game again and have trouble striking my irons solid and consistently. Would like to try these out to improve my game. Link to post Share on other sites
PlaidJacket 7,725 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Man... if you're a +1.6 I'd think you're already putting a decent amount of compression on the ball. If your hcp is that low now how low did it used to be?

rechlo67 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Chad Rechlo, Edmonton, Alberta Canada. 1.4 i have been looking into this training aid for the last year. I've been working on keeping the hands forward on impact and I think this training aid will really help me get to the next level. Thank MGS Link to post Share on other sites

j_giesler 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 John Giesler, California 18.1 I've been trying to give the wife the hint to get the DST for the past 2 birthdays with no luck. Being the father of a 2 y/o and working a job that leaves little daylight when off the clock my average round has gone from low 80s during my early twenties (while managing a green grass shop ) to mid 90s in my early 30s. I think the DST Compressor will give me the feedback needed to make the short, lunch break practice sessions worth while and build upon one another versus feeling like I start over each time. To put it simply, my swing feels like an unfolding lawn chair. I've been following the product reviews for quite a while and would love to see how this would help me and share my experience.

ROADtrippin4550 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Kevin - Indiana 4 handicap I think the DST compressor will help establish consistency in ball flight and ball striking. Something I desperately need. Link to post Share on other sites
tennsc 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 1. Alfredo, California 2. 6 3. I think the DST Compressor can help me stay in a "lagged position" longer and not only help my ball striking, but also help with increasing my distance control on my full swings by staying "behind" the ball longer and allowing my right side to clear before my by arms get to the ball.

Cdrecer 1 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Chad; Texas 11.3 I tend to flip my hands near impact and when I try to keep my hands in front I tend to hit the turf before the ball, I really need help training myself to hit the ball first and then the ground.

djahubes 1,261 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Dave, Northern Virginia 11.1 I have a pronounced cast. When my timing is right it doesn't hurt me too much. Been trying to get rid of it for a while and think this tool will help. Would also like to see a test of the swing shirt v. Swing jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
