The hammer x is playing continuously on direct TV. Insulting infomercial but I had to sit and watch it for quite a while wondering who buys crap like this...

I bought a Zolex last month from a guy in Times Square. Only cost me $50.00 bucks.

Lol! Isn't that ridiculous ...."POW!!!!!!!!!"..... So silly. Played with a guy who had this. He had one of the worst swings I'd ever seen. Totally delusional. He said he was gong to enter the Senior Long Driving Championship. His back swing was so flat that his hands barely went above his waist and he would squat down as well. Imagine an Olympic hammer thrower when he first starts his swing. Funny thing was he hit 1 drive the whole round that went about 275....he claimed it was 300+. I out drove him by about 20-25 yds then explained the GPS "math" on the cart. He said it must be wrong....so I got my rangefinder out and showed him.....mine was 301 and his was 274. Every other drive he hit was a screaming low duck hook. I'm left handed so I didn't get to hit it but I'd like to have tried it and yelled "POW!!!!!!" as I hit it.

I had a friend who sad he saw a driver on infomercial was going to buy it. Says it's called the Hammer and has special shaft that flexes three places. I say I've seen it too, but if he had to have it I'd seen them on Ebay for cheaper. Well he's a trucker and says he doesn't have time for looking, watching, and bidding so I said I'd do it for him. I end up getting the driver & 3W for $15 &$10 s&h.; I call him to let him know and he's ecstatic that I saved him so much. so the next time he's in town I give them to him but he tells me it's the wrong club. He goes on to describe the club (normal and not too big) and its shaft ( has three blisters about 4 to 6 in apart starting below the grip). Anyway sometime later I'm on Ebay and the search is still on my list so i click on it and would you believe there is the driver my friend descrbed, nothing to do with JH/xfactor, and it's called the Direct Drive Hammer.

I believe the OP is referring to the Hammer X which has the elliptical shaped shaft and the head looks like half a large trailer hitch...advertised by Jack Hammer

I bought it and sold it back on Ebay.   Bottom line, it didn't work for me.   There have been multiple versions of the driver and some swear by it.  If it works, more power to those.

I'd be embarrassed to pull it out of the bag...

I was in my 2nd year of golf and was rarely hitting my drive over 200 yards.   I was also experimenting with all kinds of clubs - old, new, cutting shafts, replacing club heads, etc..   Hammer X was just another experiment.   But some people swear by it so YMMV.   Don't be so harsh on the lesser folks ...

I love how they kept rehashing the definition of "cc" in a driver and dressing up a guy to look like a scientist in the infomercial. So many lies and nonfacts. It is so scummy cheesy.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
