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...

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.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
