Play Better Golf with ACUSTRIKER - Your Questions answered

ACUSTRIKER is a golf training aid designed to improve accuracy, consistency, and ball striking by helping golfers maintain focus and alignment throughout their swing.

ACUSTRIKER consists of three main components: a clamp, flexible tubing, and a three-in-one sighting device.

The clamp can be attached to either the hosel of a club, the mat or ball tray at the driving range, or another suitable surface.

The flexible tubing allows for the adjustment of the sighting device, ensuring that the ball remains centred within the sight throughout the stroke.

The sighting device should be adjusted so that when assuming the correct setup and address position for each selected club, the ball is centred within the sighting device, positioned approximately 200 to 250 mm above the ball. This allows the club to pass underneath it smoothly. Ensure the ball remains centered within the sight throughout the stroke, from setup to follow-through.

ACUSTRIKER helps improve your golf game by promoting greater focus, alignment, and consistent ball striking through its unique design and functionality.

Yes, ACUSTRIKER is suitable for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players.

To use ACUSTRIKER, attach to a club as a counterweight and for alignment, then select a club you wish to use. Ensure that when you assume your stance you are viewing the ball inside the “loop” and maintain unbroken  eye contact with the ball through the viewfinder from setup to follow-through. 

ACUSTRIKER requires minimal maintenance. Simply keep it clean and free from dirt and debris.

Yes, ACUSTRIKER can be used by left-handed golfers, as it is designed to accommodate both left- and right-handed players.

No it is not. There are numerous training aids and devices on the market some more effective than others. What is encouraging is that when a golfer invests in a training aid it means that they are working at improving their game. This time spent practising on course scenarios and repetition of strokes will benefit you when you play a round. ACUSTRIKER targets the essential and foundational elements of the golf stroke.

It's small, compact and versatile enough to be used in your lounge, backyard or out on the course in a practice game. 

Probably one of the worst feelings in golf... you’re on the fringe for two on a par 4. You just need to chip it close and you chunk it or scull it into the bunker on the other side of the green. The underlying causes for these mistakes are excessive lateral (sway) and vertical (bobbing) head movement. This alters the fulcrum of the swing plane and arc causing a mis-hit. Additionally, by rising out of the shot before the moment of impact the club head is slightly higher resulting in the dreaded “scull.” Remember to try and do this…"Hear your chips land before looking up".

Yes we can help you. Professional golfers will tell you that putting is the most important aspect of the game. Often the difference between winning and losing a tournament comes down to a three to five foot putt. The anxiety and pressure of these situations cause golfers to look up prematurely to see where their ball is heading... more often than not to see it miss. By looking, one tends to lift out of the stroke causing a push or pull motion which results in a missed putt. Putting requires a very steady head and a settled upper body.

ACUSTRIKER encourages these traits. Focus on the ball until impact (which you should witness within the 42mm loop) is vital. Try not to look up after putting the ball, it’s difficult but possible. Listen to your ball drop in the hole. Don’t see it. “Listen don’t look” and you’ll drain more putts. It works for long putts too. Along with your ACUSTRIKER you will have found a 42mm disc with a 6mm hole in the middle. When practising putting, position the disc within the 42mm “Loop” and put the ball on the hole in the disc.

Ninety percent of mis-hit shots are a result of excessive head and upper body movement and an inconsistent spine angle during the swing. This is identified as lateral sway, horizontal movement back and forth and vertical lifting or “bobbing”. These movements, if excessive, alter the fulcrum of the swing causing inconsistent and inaccurate ball striking. ACUSTRIKER, with its three sighting devices allows natural movement but limits excessive movement. It can be used with all clubs.

ACUSTRIKER can be used to perform many of the drills suggested by golf coaches and magazine tipsters. Being independent of the golfer, club and ball ACUSTRIKER encourages the natural and authentic development of muscle memory.

If you would enjoy a round free of shanks, chunks, sculls, pulled and pushed putts, topped or fat fairway shots and the dreaded air swing, then you should consider investing in ACUSTRIKER. For less than the cost of a round you are resolving some of the common problems encountered by golfers. 

For indoor training you may not be able to use your clubs (other than your putter). Set up ACUSTRIKER as per the instructions. Centre the disc within the selected loop and practice the swing rotation, making sure the disc stays centred.
