StrikePad Summary
The StrikePad is a pad used for hitting golf balls. What separates the hitting mats you would find at the local golf course with the Strikepad are the visual graphics depicting the proper swing path on the pad. It is somewhat similar to the silhouetted shoes often given as aids for people learning a dance. It might not be as effective, however, because with a decent swing speed you can’t visually see your club’s position through the impact zone.
Is the StrikePad effective?
The StrikePad suffers from the same thing that plagues all mats, hitting off grass and mats are two different things. The capability to take a divot off a mat is not there and thus practicing off a mat promotes a flatter swing plane, which can lead to thin shots. The club swing path on the StrikePad helps reinforce the correct plane, which should help high handicappers.
How much is the StrikePad?
The StrikePad can be purchased online for $25.99. It can be purchased in conjunction with BirdieBalls for $32.50, which might appeal to some.
Is the StrikePad a good value?
The StrikePad is a decent product. The StrikePad is not a must-have golf product but it could be beneficial to those whose wives are fed up with the golf divots in the lawn.
