One of the best training aids I own. It is simple, it fits in the bag, and it fixes strike by forcing the correct angle of attack rather than just talking about it. If I could keep only a few aids, this stays.

This is honestly one of my favourite training aids of all time, and the reason is how simple it is. It is basically a soft, flexible wedge shape – it looks almost 3D printed – that you set on the ground behind the ball. You can clip it with a club and it does no damage to the head, and it packs down into a little carry case that lives in your golf bag.
It is built to train angle of attack and low point. You place it just behind the ball, and to get to the ball cleanly you are forced to steepen your angle of attack and move your low point forward – exactly what most amateurs need, because so many players flip and scoop to try to lift the ball. It comes with a little gauge/index so you know how far to set it from the ball for each club: closer for the wedges, further away for the longer irons where you want a shallower attack.
Where it earns its place over a towel drill is the feedback. You can lay a towel down, but it gets annoying and it does not really force people to get the angle of attack down. The Strike Wedge is more prominent – that orange wedge sitting there is a clear visual that forces the correct move, and the strike improvement is real. It also does not disrupt your backswing: it is angled so you never have to lift the club up and over it on the way back.
It is properly versatile. Use it for full irons, use it for chipping, and it comes with two rubberised side rails you can clip on for path work. Coming over the top? Attach one on the outside so you get instant feedback if your club works out-to-in – a bit like using a head cover as a path gate, but purpose-built. Too far from the inside? Move it to the inner side. You can even flip the wedge the other way round to promote an upward angle of attack for the driver.
Because it is soft, pliable TPU it is kind to the club and to you – I have used door wedges, impact boards and lie boards behind the ball before and they are harsh and hard if you catch them. This is soft, light and forgiving. Pair it with the Handy Golf app and you can film in slow motion to actually see where your low point is, which makes the whole thing click faster.
Price-wise it is very reasonable – less than a single lesson – and the discount code knocks it down further. If I had to bin every training aid I own and keep only a handful, this would make the cut. It is especially brilliant off mats in the winter.
Pros
Cons
Packs into a carry case and lives in your golf bag – it is basically a soft, pocketable wedge.
Forces a downward angle of attack and better low point far more effectively than a towel drill, thanks to a clear visual you have to avoid.
Genuinely versatile: full irons, chipping, path work with the side rails, and flip it to train an upward strike for driver.
Soft, flexible TPU – kind to the club face and painless if you clip it, unlike a lie board or door wedge.
Angled so it never disrupts your backswing take-away.
Two clip-on side rails double as an over-the-top path gate.
Pairs with the Handy Golf app for slow-motion low-point feedback.
Yes, you could improvise the same idea with a towel or a door stopper – you are paying for a purpose-built version. For me the far clearer feedback and the fact it does not batter your club makes it worth it, but a committed DIY-er could get part of the way for free.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Strike Wedge worth it?
For most amateurs, yes. The Strike Wedge is one of my favourite training aids because it forces a proper downward angle of attack instead of letting you flip and scoop, and the strike improvement is genuine. It costs less than a single lesson and packs into your bag, so it earns its keep.
Who is the Strike Wedge for?
The Strike Wedge is for golfers who hit it fat or thin and struggle to control their low point – that is most club golfers. It works for irons, wedges and chipping, and you can flip it to train an upward strike for driver.
How does the Strike Wedge work?
You set the Strike Wedge on the ground just behind the ball, using the included gauge to place it the right distance for each club. To reach the ball cleanly you are forced to steepen your angle of attack and move your low point forward. Clip-on side rails add club-path feedback for over-the-top or too-inside swings.
Will the Strike Wedge damage my club if I hit it?
No. The Strike Wedge is soft, flexible TPU, so clipping it does no damage to the club and does not sting your hands – unlike a lie board, impact board or door wedge, which are harsh if you catch them.
