Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best ones.
00:09
Take, for example, Tour Striker Smart Ball.
00:11
This was really an overnight sensation years in the making.
00:15
It debuted in 2014, but didn't really catch on
00:18
until Justin Rose was spotted using it
00:20
at tour events in 2017.
00:23
It's really quite simple, let me explain how it works.
00:25
I've already gone ahead and inflated it,
00:27
and I've hung it from its adjustable lanyard.
00:30
The idea is to gently squeeze
00:33
with your forearms, right there.
00:36
So, I would suggest you take a couple of half swings
00:39
before you build up to full swings.
00:41
Just to get a feel for what the Smart Ball is trying to do.
00:46
You would be surprised at how many times you swing,
00:50
and you feel your arms separating from one another.
00:54
So let me take a full swing.
01:01
So my arms stayed nice and connected with my body that time.
01:05
This next time I'm gonna swing through,
01:06
and the arms are gonna lose their connection
01:08
with the body, and the Smart Ball will drop.
01:16
So it can also work for short-game shots,
01:18
like pitches and chips.
01:20
Again, gently squeeze it in your forearms.
01:30
Though it's simple and small,
01:32
it offers you a lot of opportunities to help your swing.
