It's Thursday and I'm on my soapbox

The Hammer infomercial

Ok, I think i've seen it all. Why does the Golf Channel even air the informercial "The Hammer". If this guy Hammer was so good, then why isn't he playing on the tour, instead of peddle'n a stupid driver that nobody is going to buy? Wow, a driver that can kill the ball. Is it really "flipp'n the golf industry upside down"? Any body that goes out and buys this doesn't like the game of golf imo. What a joke. What is this game coming too? Here's a great idea, why doesn't somebody come out with a product that improves the game, instead of breaking it down? Ok, i'm off my soapbox.

You should go to the Zolex Hammer website and checkout the Dr. Feelgood putter - it "maxes out the putter plane".

 

I also like that the Super Pro driver is "20 yards faster than any other driver".

[HarboursideTC]

A couple of us bought the Hammer for a golf buddy as a joke (he is somewhat distance challenged off the tee). We all got to hit it last summer - what a joke. 3 good players each hit 5 balls. Not one in the fairway and all of them way shorter than my MacTec.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's Thursday. Hammer is a joke.

Has anyone seen their website...great for a laugh. baaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg

I really love the Airwedge!

 

 

 

[hbear]

Give The Golf Channel $$$ and they'll air anything...

sure doesn't seem like there is much actual golf or instruction on it now.

[Grimace45]

Not sure how you sping the ball when there are no grooves where you make contact with the ball. This site is a 212 out of 10 on the unintentional comedy scale.

[divebreck]

after looking at the website I have calculated the following based on the information provided.

 

Save 10 stokes with the putter

Save 5 strokes with the Dr. Knockdown wedge

Save 10 strokes with the air extreme driver

Save 10 strokes with the pure golf system

 

Total strokes saved 35, when purchasing these products

 

I'm going to go ahead and get these and let the PGA tour know that I'll be at next weeks event. Forget Q school when they see me shot 44 for 18 holes I'm in!!!

Dude, did you yell after you hit the ball? If you don't do the Jack Hamm yell, then the Hammer doesn't work. (cool)

[VinceRKG]

Its funny how he says he was a whatever time world champion, I have never seen him at any Longdrive competetion. And we have called him out numerous times....lol......14 second hangtime........that goes about 300

[freddiec]

I stand corrected, it's Thursday, can't you tell what type of week i've had.

[SheriffBooth]

When I get home from work this afternoon I'm going to drill holes in the face of my sandwedge. Hopefully the air holes will "throw the ball onto the green" just like the Air Wedge. And I feel stupid for not having bought the X-factor irons yet - they're on web special for $400 off the retail price; how can I not buy them for that kind of deal!?

[Smooth spin scott]

This is brutal...there has to be law or something against this type of advertising... Buyer beware i guess..

 

Top 10 Reasons Why You Need One of These Drivers

 

10. Shaped Shaft and Head Technology reduce drag, creating the World's Fastest Driver.

 

9. These drivers realy work, and will be the best golf investment you've ever made.

 

8. 60-year-old golfers can now hit it 300 yards and feel young again on the tee box.

 

7. The other guys in your foursome will be jealous, because you're now 20 yards longer.

 

6. These drivers are DEAD STRAIGHT. Our Shaped Shaft Technology creates the biggest sweet spot ever seen, because it aligns the sweet spot to the ball. These drivers can cure any slice. Round shafts twist during your swing and spray the ball all over the place. The Aerospeed shaft being flat doesn't twist like a round shaft and keeps the ball dead on line.

 

5. 20 easy yards can save you 10 shots a round and drop your handicap by 5 strokes.

 

4. Take your longest drive right now and add 20 yards to it.

 

3. No one else has this technology: compared to these drivers, all competitive drivers are slow and outdated.

 

2. It is physically impossible not to add more yards to your tee shot with the Shaped Head and Shaft Technology.

 

and the number one reason you need one of these clubs:

 

1. 20 More Yards on the next Tee Shot - because the distance is built right into these clubs.

[Beavs17]

In the words of the ultimate BS(g) er..."If you aren't swinging a hammer, you are LEAVING YARDS ON THE TABLE". (cool)

[Simp]

I saw the same infomercial today and thought the same thing: WTF is this guy still doing in the golf business?!

[Beavs17]

Of course you will get 20 more yards, look at the shaft...I think it might be a soft A flex! You won't know where it is going, but it will go far.

 

[Konrad]

Okay, I know a guy with one of these... he used to be short, like 220. Now he hits a driver on an uphill 180 yard par-3.

 

I think he's 20 yards shorter. (cool)

[Hairpie]

Actually played behind a group a couple of weeks ago and one guy in the group had Mizuno blades and a Hammer driver....All I could think was WTF?....I then watched him kill the Hammer each time I saw him hit it...He did not yell POW! though....

[VinceRKG]

The Callaway FT-i when I hit at a demo 2 weeks ago looked just like this hammer at address. I was there with a Super Senior LD'er and we both at the same time said, "Its the HAMMER" lol It was a classic moment. It really does feel like it. And hit like it....Man

[idrive400yards]

I don't know, for $99.00 and get a free fairway wood, add 20-50 yards to my drives, i need to get one of these! I already started to practice the yell, and if the driver doesn't work, i guess the yelling will at least scare the people next to me on the range(maybe it will impress them more)

[AcesAZ]

I used to have a playing buddy that wanted to buy the hammer. Needless to say I don't play with him anymore. I think he was probably drinking too much, he had no clue.

 

I think I will yell POW!!! after I crush a drive to give my playing buddies a laugh.

 

I just wonder how this company stays in business?

[sergizmo]

I like this one; 5. 20 easy yards can save you 10 shots a round and drop your handicap by 5 strokes.

 

How do you drop 10 strokes a round but only cut your handicap by 5? Back to 2nd grade math for someone...

[Smooth spin scott]

On my wish list for my 60th birthday in 35 years!

 

8. 60-year-old golfers can now hit it 300 yards and feel young again on the tee box.

[hacker17]

What!? They make putters now? :tongue:

X-Factor Sports website

[2IUgrads]

I love the Hammer infomercials.... great mid day comedy. They must be doing well, they've expanded into tennis now!

[mrbsmells]

Does anybody know where to get the TP version? i looked in the FS but they didn't have any :tongue:

[sync71]

That doesn't deserve to be called a putter...it actually looks like a real Hammer haha!

 

I can't stand those commericals, but they do give me a good laugh using the POW, the guy commentating the infomericals voice and all the stupid promises they make.

 

I like the wedge on the site with the 3 holes in it. (BTW I'm kidding)

[ifixclubs]

anybody else notice one of the commentators kinda looks like christopher walkins?! when i saw him i was like wtf?!

[bigpopper81]

I don't get the Golf Channel so I have never had the opportunity to see these great reolutionary products before until now. To think of all the great rounds I have been letting pass me by.

 

"Inverted Shape revolutionizes sweet spot creating a speed foil" - whatever the hell that means. But everyone does need a 600cc driver with a swordshaped shaft.

[oregongolf]

please tell me someone will be putting this in the pay it forward thread.

 

i think i'll get a dozen of the golf balls.

 

"Rebel Golf Balls - Top secret core and dimple

pattern creating the world's longest golf ball."

 

TOP SECRET CORE.

 

haha ;)

 

wtf, i just read about the putter.

 

"From PGA recognized best putter ever, Al Geiberger "Mr. 59" - "This is the first putter I've seen that is really designed to work on the putting plane. It makes alot of sense. There isn't a golfer out there that won't lower his score with the Dr. Feel Good™ putter.""

 

Geiberger really said that?
