Amazon.com Product Description
Learn the feel of the correct clubface impact with the SKLZ Rick Smith Smash Bag. An ideal training tool for the beginning and intermediate golfer, the Smash Bag provides visual feedback on the quality and accuracy of impact. All you have to do is line up and swing, then take a look at the angle of the proprietary target map to see how you did. If your swing was true, the bag will remain aligned. If your swing missed the target or hit it a skewed angle, the bag will retain the depression for further analysis. On the whole, the bag helps eliminate fat and thin shots and cure slices. Made of a heavy-duty, high-impact material that quickly fills with towels or clothes, the Smash Bag is perfectly safe for both you and your clubs.

 Does the job and at a great price. May 11, 2009

I was originally looking at a Callaway branded impact bag but came across this one. It's pretty much the least expensive impact bag I've found so I went for it. The material if pretty beefy and looks like it's going to take a decent pounding. I ended up filling it with old sheets, shirts, leftovers from slutty ex-girlfriends, old underwear, etc.... It's been great, if not for just being able to swing my 6 iron at something while at home. If you're doing the drill properly it will help you feel your club face position at impact. After having used it for a couple hundred swings now, I think I might get more use out of doing what the other reviewer recommended and filling it with bird feed. That would solve the problem of having to reposition the bag after each swing and allow for a better indicator of your club face at impact. FYI - depending on how much you practice, you're going to go through at least 2 per year so cheaper is better. I don't think the other ones that cost more will last any longer.

If you're looking for a golf impact training bag, this fits the bill. Fill it with 40 lbs of bird seed (Amazon sells Brown's Nature's Banquet Good Blend Wild Bird Food in a 40 lb bag) and you're ready to go.
Good bag August 17, 2009

Filled with soft cloth the bag works well. It is suitable for use both indoors and outside and if this is what you think you need to improve your swing, then this is the bag to buy, as it is much cheaper than similar items.
Great product for the new golfer. September 18, 2009
Roger A. Nale (Odenton, MD)
I just began playing golf in May '09 and my instructor suggested I buy an impact bag to help me develop a strong, straight swing. I waited for a few months and strugled with the dreaded slice and fade. I was beginning to get the feel for a proper impact but was still strugling. After I got the SKLZ bag and worked with it for a few days, I saw my ball starting to fly straight where I was aiming. No more adjusting my stance and aim point for me. Parallel left and I'm on my way. I also added about 10 to 15 yards to my woods and long irons.
 A stong bag , which starts to show wear when banged hard November 7, 2009
Vikram Gupta (Delhi , India)
This bag is quiet good to get your club sqare at impact .
However when I started hitting it harder the stiching seems to be giving way .
The manual however tell you not hit it with full swing , but at half speed
But it is so good that I will order another one
