I went to the range tonight with my new Hammer driver and my old Ping rapture driver. After hitting several drives with my Ping ( approximately 230 yards ) I pulled out the Hammer and hit the fist ball close to the same yardage as my old Ping ( thinking to myself I must have hit an old range ball ) I rummaged through the basket looking for a newer ball. I hit drive after dive and all of them were going about the same distance (approximately 230-240 yards) the driver does not appear defected but something is definitely wrong because I’m not getting the extra 50 yards. The man at the range said he did not have time to look at my Hammer tonight but he would tomorrow so, I’m getting off work early.

Does anyone have any ideas what maybe wrong if not, I’ll report back tomorrow.

Were you properly aligning yourself with a range of snow-capped mountains? Otherwise, the ball will obviously fall short of its own expectations and fall to the fairway as if a mere mortal hit it. Also, grunting and yelling "POWW!" like the god himself, Jack Hamm, will increase yardage substantially.

Find some mountains and I can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised!

What's wrong is that this is the oldest "joke" going around.

Also, the word you are looking for is "defective", not "defected".

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I too bought the Hammer (Ebay...$30.00, free shipping...still wasn't worth it, even with the 3 wood) It's impressive looking but the people at Golf Galaxy kept looking at me funny when I yelled "POW" in the simulator. I really didn't expect much, I shouldv'e bought a Swoosh

I found the easiest way to consistently drive a pro v1 over 450 yards.  All I had to do was get in my golf cart and drive over 450 yards and drop the ball where I said it would go.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
