Over 10 years ago, I developed GOLFSTR+, a golf training aid to remind me to keep my leading arm straight during my backswing. I knew that I had a winner when I started playing a round of golf at Indian Wells Golf Resort in Palm Springs, CA while wearing my GOLFSTR+. After hitting a number of greens in regulation, I removed my training aid and soon lost my magic. Practicing and playing with GOLFSTR+ was a great start for my future golfing success.
I had learned that if I kept my leading arm straight, I could generate more distance, but my limited flexibility was limiting my backswing. In every round while playing without GOLFSTR+, I found that I would start bending my leading arm to increase my backswing to gain more distance. That bent leading arm would eventually destroy the consistency of my hits.
If you have been reading my recent blogs, you will be aware of my testing program to roll my leading arm elbow clockwise so that it faces up my target line during my setup.
BINGO: I now realize that this leading arm muscle roll is creating a strain in my arm that locks my leading arm straight DURING MY BACKSWING.
The #2 use for GOLFSTR+ is ideal for you to use with a clockwise rotated leading elbow during your setup to keep your leading arm straight during your backswing.
This is the miracle that I have been searching for to create consistency in every shot for distance and direction control. I just have to remember to set up with the elbow roll for every shot. I may add a 2 to 3 foot takeaway waggle for my driver but I definitely have to take my time to add a full backswing and a cocked wrist for lag at the top.

No, you don't necessarily need expensive golf clubs to become a good golfer. While high-quality clubs can provide certain advantages, such as improved forgiveness and distance, they are not the sole determining factor in your performance on the golf course. Here are a few key considerations:
Skill and technique: The most critical aspect of playing good golf lies in developing and refining your skills and technique. This involves regular practice, taking lessons, and focusing on the fundamentals of the game, such as proper grip, stance, and swing mechanics. No matter the quality of your clubs, investing time and effort in improving your skills is crucial for success.
Club fit and suitability: While expensive clubs may offer advanced features and customization options, having clubs that are properly fitted to your height, swing speed, and playing style is more important than their cost. Clubs that are fitted to your body and swing characteristics can enhance your consistency and shot-making ability. A professional club fitting session can help ensure you have clubs that suit you well.
Budget-friendly options: There are many budget-friendly golf club options available that can still provide decent performance. These clubs may not have the latest technology or premium materials found in high-end models, but they can still be reliable and effective for beginners and intermediate players. Consider exploring used club markets, demo clubs, or entry-level sets as more cost-effective alternatives.
