Essentially: Ball on a string. What do you think?

Hi guys.

A design I worked on essentially enables you to hit the golf ball as hard as you want as long as you have 20 yards of space. I packaged it up because I think it has potential and hell, I'm pretty excited :D

What do you guys think of it?
Here's a short comedy video we did: https://vine.co/v/hr2rihhFnh7

I'm not a pro by any means so I get to improve my swing in my backyard with this. Check out the website: http://www.theropeit.com.

Great idea. Which is probably why it was already invented a long time ago. Not sure how long they've been around but I know I see them all the time in sporting stores. Here's a question I've always had about the various ball-on-rope products I've seen: seeing as how a ball attached to a rope cannot spin naturally, how do you know what your ball would do in real life? I mean if hooks and slices are the product of side spin and a tethered ball can't really generate side spin, how do you know if your hooking the beejesus out if it???
