Just looks like another chipper to me.  Maybe a little pretty.  Clearly the target market is old, fat, terrible golfers.

But the "bad" hits just reminds me of every cheap sales commercial ever where people can't even open a bag of chips without the special device. 

 

it's way too overdone - consumers really aren't that stupid.

@rehmwa That vid was Awesome!  Some great idiot moments.

The SSW commercial cracks me up every day.  The fat, old guys decelerating and ripping up the grass, too funny.  Not doing that on purpose are ya?

Gwen hits it a lil heavy but it doesn't come out chunky... Huh?

Frank chips with VJ's claw grip... who does that?

Watch the last hole out... it has like 3 vids spliced together so badly it makes my son laugh.

So yea... I bought 2!  LOL

How does it swing full swing!

I can get 100 yards out of my left-handed niblick with a 3/4ish swing.  I suspect the Square Strike would accomplish about the same.  Essentially, it is a 8 iron with the length and lie of a sand wedge.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

As an “old, fat, terrible golfer” I resent that remark.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
