Tour Lock Pro will be at The Raven South Mountain




“Optimize Your Game”





Raven Golf Club Members,

Golf Professionals Steve Majerus and Michael Willson will be offering a demo day this Friday March 4th, Monday March 7th and Tuesday March 8th on the driving range at Raven Golf Club.

Do my clubs need to be optimized?

Whether your clubs are custom fit or standard, more than likely you would benefit from an optimization fitting.  The Tour Lock Pro weighting system does several things that are scientifically proven to enhance the performance of any golf club.  Adding weight in the grip end of the golf club raises the balance point of the club.  Testing shows that this produces consistent, tighter contact dispersion and raises the “power transfer ratio” or “smash factor” giving the player more feel, more club head awareness and thus more control.

What does it do for each club?

The Putter: A Tour Lock Pro putter weight raises the balance point of the club giving you more control.  This change in balance point widens the sweet spot of the putter assisting in putts hit off center.  The weight in your hands smoothens out your stroke and dampens the vibration of the club giving the putter a more solid feel. 

The Tour Lock Pro weighting system can also assist with stroke tendencies.  An Opti-Vibe weight placed higher into the hands will help you release the putter better.  An Opti-Vibe weight placed lower into the shaft will slow down the release of the putter.  In either case the weight will give you more control with less open and closing of the putter face.  
  
The Driver and Fairway Woods: Internal Opti-Vibe weights change the release point of the club and in most instances you will see great improvement in direction, distance and increased “smash factor”.  We are able to move the weight up or down the shaft and have the ability to change ball flight, (right to left, left to right and launch angle). 

Irons: Irons can benefit from a Tour Lock Pro counter weight or an internal weight.  The counter weights help you stay on plane, and stabilize the golf club. Counter weighting allows for more consistent contact and better ball dispersion.  An internal, Opti-Vibe weight will help customize the way the shaft releases for you and help you hit the golf ball straighter and potentially longer.


Pricing

Your first club, a driver, fairway wood, or putter is $50.00
Fairway woods and hybrids cost $40.00.
Irons cost $30.00 per iron

If you choose to do your full set which usually consists of 3 woods, a putter and 10 irons, the cost is $450.00.
