Haha, flipping throught the channels this afternoon, and saw this infomercial on TGC.
Add 50 yds to your tee shot ... hit it 400, even 450 yds!!
Jack Hamm's Hammer Driver ...
Seems to have 2 main qualities to give the greater distance ...
1. Aerodynamics that give 25% more club head speed by reducing drag. Actually accelerates itself with no force put into the downswing too!
2. Made of the new revolutionary metal Zolex ... a metal only half the weight of Titanium. BTW, Titanium is now obsolete.
And it must be true, because Dr. Mike Kearns, a professor of biomechanics says so.
And this driver, along with a free fairway wood, made out of this magical new metal way better than Titanium is only $99.
BTW, I googled Mike Kearns, and although there are several Dr. Mike Kearns, none of them are in any field anywhere near biomechanics.
Also googled 'Zolex', and nope, no one has heard of it except for these 'golf club makers'
Oh, and if all that wasn't good enough ... comes with a shaft that is perfect for everyone. If you need a X-stiff shaft, it's extra stiff, need a normal shaft, it's a normal shaft. Need a senior flex, it's that too! Every shaft in one!
I've seen a lot of info-mercials on the golf channel (and others), but never one that is so absolutely full of blatant lies to this extent.
I actually have lost all respect for The Golf Channel. How could they allow something like this on their network?
Went to the guy's website. He has 10 reasons you need one of these drivers.
4 of the 10 reasons are that it adds 20 yds to your drive (I wonder if he sells inferior drivers on his website, because the ones on TV add 50 yds). If I were you, I would skip the website, and order the TV driver.
If you are 60 years old, you will drive 300 yds with this driver.
You will always hit the ball straight, unlike with the other stupid shaft you are now using that is causing your slices.
It is not just guaranteed, but against the rules of physics to not play better with this driver.
BTW, I googled Mike Kearns, and although there are several Dr. Mike Kearns, none of them are in any field anywhere near biomechanics.
Don't be knocking Dr. Kearns now: Not only is he an esteemed Biomechanics Professor, but he is well-versed in Materials Science & Engineering and Aerodynamics also!
Warrior Golf scams people? My best friend has a set and absolutely loves them. But who the heck is Jack Hamm, and what is he 6 time world champion for?
personally i like the warrior hybrids i have i cna hit em clean and they go really far. but TGC ios just ridiculous half of the programs are paid programming or stupid get ripped in 90 days its getting ridiculous (sp)
Biggest Scam are the people buying golf clubs with off the shelf shafts and paying retail. The shafts that come with most drivers are not geared for the individual hitting the ball and they are usually paying at least $100 more than if they purchased the club on eBay.

I don't think that's a scam. To me scam would be lying about the benefits that you will get. But to me buying retail did and does give me some benefits. I exchanged a set, and got full refund once. Second instance, I exchanged a set and only cost me 10% of the price. So in effect I rented a set of clubs for 80$ for 3 months. Another benefit is peace of mind, I know that I can always find that store physically and hold them responsible. Try doing that to an internet address (email or website). Last but not least is the benefit to satisfy my "need it now", not tomorrow, not two weeks from now, but now as I am headed for the golf course now and that hybrid is gonna look cool now.
Thats my favorite GC infomercial of all time. The 'ZOLEX' is half the weight of titanium, but they show the clubface being a half inch thick. How is that saving weight? I've got a black-market watch from NYC called a Zolex.
