October 30, 2013 Dan Beaubien asked: I’m inquiring about your “Straight Arm, Straight Shot” ad in Golf Magazine. Please describe this product. Is it a device that actually keeps the left arm straight (therefore probably not legal in competition) or something that trains the body to keep the arm straight?
Answer from Bill Curry: You are right on both counts Dan. GOLFSTR is used as a brain trainer to remind you to keep your leading arm straight in the back swing. It does not restrain your arm in any way. You just feel it come off the back of your upper arm if you bend your arm. The wonderful benefit is that GOLFSTR builds muscle memory by wearing it as you play 18 holes and see your score drop.
On our User Guide and on our retail package we state: “ It gives you an unfair advantage so you can’t use it when playing in a competition.”
Why not use this “unfair advantage “ to learn your new swing and then enjoy your new and improved swing without wearing GOLFSTR. If it was easy to change to a straight arm in the back swing you would have done it long ago. I’ve had the bent arm problem for too long and finally decided to do something about. If the pros can do it why can’t I? Must be the steel plate lodged between my ears. GOLFSTR was my solution and I hope it will be your solution too.
