Goodstick Total Station: A Buying and Safety Brief

Quick answer

The Goodstick Total Station is a modular hub that the manufacturer shows configured as several visual practice aids, including a stick base, a perpendicular alignment “T,” a putting line, a club-face indicator and a tripod-mounted station. It makes sense if you want that kind of adjustable visual setup and already know what sticks or tripod you will use. The standalone $99.99 listing is the Total Station only; alignment sticks and the Essential Tripod are sold separately.

This is an unscored buying brief. It describes the manufacturer’s listed components and intended uses; it is not a GolfTested practice test or a claim that the device will change swing mechanics or scores.

What comes in the standalone item

Goodstick lists a hub with three alignment-stick receptacles and three threaded tripod connections, plus a dowel, magnet, lanyard, belt clip, pin tool and foam pad. The product page’s technical section lists 14.5 inches overall length and 6 ounces. It accepts standard 5/16-inch sticks, but Goodstick says it guarantees fit only with its own sticks. A tripod is also sold separately; Goodstick does not guarantee that other tripod brands have the stability or features needed for the shown configurations.

Before ordering, compare the kit list with the practice station you want to assemble. Do not assume the standalone package includes the sticks, phone bracket or tripod shown in an example photograph.

Use limits matter

Goodstick describes the Total Station as an aid for visual feedback and low-impact positional training. Its safety page says to use limited-speed swings and warns that a full-speed swing with the device attached can result in serious injury if it detaches. It also warns that the strong magnet can create a pinch point and says people with a pacemaker or other medically implanted device should not use it. The manufacturer says the device is not intended for children.

Use the complete instructions, secure each component before a drill and keep the magnet away from loose metal objects. A magnet or alignment stick attached to a club is not a target for a full-speed shot.

When the Pro Pack may fit better

The Pro Pack is listed as a separate bundle with the station, an Essential Tripod and one pair of magnetic alignment sticks. Compare the pack contents and current price against the equipment you already own in the Total Station vs Pro Pack guide.

Who should keep looking

If you only need a pair of alignment sticks, buy the size that fits your bag and practice tasks rather than a multi-part station. If you need a training aid that can be used at normal or full speed, choose a product whose manufacturer explicitly permits that use. The Total Station is not that product.
