LazerDrive Product

[Hacker James]

An ad popped up on one of my Amazon orders describing this product called LazerDrive. It is kind of a spread-on ski wax that you rub on your clubs. Supposedly it serves two purposes. They tout the fact that it will lessen side spin and encourage a straight ball flight, also if applied heavily as an indicator of strike, something like Dr Scholls foot powder.

Just for fun I spread some vaseline (actually Vicks chest rub) on an iron. Sure enough, it resulted in a higher, straighter ball flight. You could achieve the same effect I imagine by using some stick deodorant.  

It is of course, illegal or non-conforming and they lay no claims saying it is not.  Nothing really new here, heck, Lee Trevino stated that in his amateur/hustler days, he would spread petroleum jelly on his clubs to gain an advantage when taking money from the private club members. I think he was a caddie at the time, but I could be mistaken.

Again, I certainly am NOT recommending such a product, but just a curiosity.

Curious how?

Seems like a pretty straightforward thing.

I read the brief description and at first it sounded like some sort of stick on, so out of curiosity I went to the URL
