The Hammer

[Valleygolfer]

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.
