    The "HAMMER" Driver......
    I just seen the commerical on golf tv and couldn't help but to laugh. Anybody actually ever hit one? LOL
  • 06-21-2008
    saw one for sale in a second hand store for $40 and thought it was too expensive, judging by the quality of the product I examined... shaft was too short for me... didn't seem like anything that would hit the ball any farther than anything else... unless they've got a clubhead with 110% COR or something else that defies the laws of physics.

    Dave, you need to take a sick day and stay home and watch 8 hours worth of golf channel infomercials and then you would see why the Hammer is turning the game upsidedown! It's made of Zolex which is like, I don't know, a million times lighter and stronger than titanium, and it's got like bat wing aerodynamics and sh!t!! POOOOWWW!!!

    It's what makes the flyover sounds on every tee shot he hits.

    I love the fly-over sound effect.
    Here's something fun to do. Make the fly-over sound yourself after everyone of your tee-shots. I find this especially fun when joining a group I don't know.

    By the way, don't you now get a free Hammer 3-wood, maybe a 5-wood also... plus I think a smokeless ash-tray and one of those "speak-up" hearing aids when you purchase the Hammer? I think if you order in the next 20 minutes its only $100.

    In a test performed by Popular Mechanics a few years ago they put the Hammer, a Liquid Metal, and some other off brand driver up against Titleist, Callaway and Taylormade drivers. Hands down the name brand equipment out performed the off brand equipment. One of the off brand drivers actually shattered after about 20 strikes. Needless to say the Hammer is a hunk of dung on a stick.

    well yes i do know someone who has hit these things.i bought my first hammer driver about 10-11 years ago and it whistled when swinging it lol,but everyone that saw me using it after stopping laughing also wanted one except for the whistling part.after that i bought last year a pro driver wich is more normal looking but has the speed shaft. every single driver i've had from Jack does what it should and amazes people everywhere.granted you have to be able to adapt to any new item, it also helps my swing speed runs about 118mph .both drivers allow me to work the ball in fade or a draw setup with ease.so the moral to the story is that if you wanna go out and spend $200-$400 on each item for your bag more power to ya,but Jack not only builds a quality club be he stands behind them 100%.lets see the big guys do that! i recently been emailing him and now is coming out with the most radical driver yet,its on its way to me and i cant wait to see peoples faces this time round.better yet i think from a engineering point this thing if it stays together might be the hardest hitting driver ever produced. good luck jack

    Tooooo true my friend. That's the first time I saw that infomercial too! Have to admit, though, it was cool to see the 90 year old man hit a 750 yard drive, while barely taking a back swing and hitting into the wind. Wish my R7 could do that. :-)

    I'd settle for 175 yard drives if every time I took it back I'd catch Jack Hammer in the nuts with my backswing.

    The club comes with a warning.. If you can't play a 50 yard hook, wear black jeans from the 1980's, and yell POW as you hit it, it'll snap. He must have not read it before opening it :/

    Forget the BOOM - try the new Hammer-X
    This new open body Hammer-X driver I got has actually added distance to my drives, and the real surprise was how much straighter I'm hitting the ball with it. It has this flat shaft and I think it really makes a difference. My slice is 90% gone (mis-hits).

    I was very doubtful also until I put the POW-BOOM-BAM aside and gave it a try.

    For $99 with the free hybrid (which I really like) I thought "What the heck". If you're like me and my buddies, we spend more on beer. It has definitely been worth it!

    This guy's actual website is xfactordirect.com. There are alot of other sites out there, but here I found a phone number and actually talked to the guy from the TV show.

    The site says it adds 30 to 50 yards to every drive. Is that 30 to 50 yards on top of the 30 to 50 yards already picked up from the Zolex Hammer? Just wanted you to clear that up please before I rush to the phone (even though I live in Australia).

    I don't know about all of that, but the guy from TV will talk to you on the phone about it (I think). He spoke to me. And I am not a scratch golfer but I am hitting it further and straighter than my Callaway. I think it is the flat shaft though...

    Wha???
    I guess I thought I was replying to a question about these Hammer products, and since I had just used one, I thought I would share my experience. Do you have any actual experience with this Hammer-X driver? Why are you so bitter? Contempt prior to investigation? I have not found much that actually helped my golf game. I thought for years that the Callaway Bertha series had, but this club does work for me and is 100's of dollars less than the brands rammed down our throats on PGA golf TV. I also LOVE the Bay Harbor Quarry Course in N. MI.

    The flat shaft should be killing your game even more. Tell me how a flat shaft is going to keep the club stable through the swing?

    Hammer X is about as useful as his 80 degree wedge.

    Hammer-X Driver with Flat X-Shaft
    I don't know how it does, but it is...

    Maybe it's just reduction of twist?
  • 05-14-2009
    Mward2002
    The clubhead twisting comes more into play during impact, and clubhead design limits that. The shaft shouldn't have any effect on clubhead twisting.

    Go take that and another driver to a real launch monitor. I would love to see the looks on the sales reps faces but more importantly I'd like to see the launch monitor stats.

    Starbury thought the Hammer was used for basketball when he was with the Knicks. Full court shots with no jumping motion! *air woosh, jet fly over sound* POW, SWISH!

    I saw the Hammer infomercial after watching the late night recap of the European PGA, and had a few beers in me at that time. The ad reminded me of these same sort of dudes who sell Bo Flexes & all of those muscle building protein pills. I once saw an add for the zero bounce wedge too. Total Happy Gilmore stuff right there.

    Anyways, as I was saying, I'm confused. I thought I read a review recently that said the Hammer driver was the worst driver they'd ever tested. The infomercial is so incredibly hokey, it looks as though their target market would have to be people who are borderline retarded or dumber.

    Give MyrtleBeach a break !
    The poster Myrtlebeach and that guy Jackhammer,seem to just be trying to help with their firsthand information. They have actually used the club and all the crybabies on this forum who are ripping these two guys all admit they are totally ignorant of any firsthand knowledge of the club. So,if I want to rely on anyones opinion ,it would certainly be the ones that have experience and not those who just want to make a joke out of others posts,just to make themselves feel superior.(when obviously they are just plain rude and rather ignorant sounding loud mouths).
    And you don't seem to understand that the club Myrtlebeach is talking about has NEVER had a commercial on TV . It is a new club for 2009 and has never been advertised on the Golf Channel or any other infomercial (nobody yelling boom yet).So those of you comparing it to the old Hammer driver are comparing apples to oranges and sound even more foolish that the guy on the commercial that yells boom every time he hits the ball. Although I bet you wish you had all the trophies Jack Hamm has for winning all those long drive contests.I guess that answers why you are so bitter,just jealous of the guy who has actually acomplished something ,instead of just whining on an internet forum all day and then retreating back to your mother's basement ,where you live.

    We did this on a softball forum that I also belong to, but we took and Easton Hammer, shipped it all over the country, and had players use the bat in actual games, and sign it.
    If anybody has a Hammer that they don't give an ess about we should do this with the golf club too, take video post it on Youtube, while screaming BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

    Hammer X Informercial
    I was browsing through and saw the Hammer X infomercial. I have to say that it was about as funny a program as I've ever seen - "cow bell" soundeffects, Hamm 'powing' after another monster drive. some guy in a lab coat trying to convince us that mass not CC's was the key to long drives ["this driver has no CCs"] and Hamm himself trotting out Einstein's E= MC2 mass-energy equivalance relationship as, somehow, relevant to driving a golf ball. Hilarious!!! A few things might have added some credence to the commerical like identifying the mysterious Z2 metal [in Earth terms versus something from the comic books], length, loft, shaft stifnesses available, etc. Is this possibly a conforming driver? One thing for sure, it would cause some laughs if you trotted this out at your next game. But, you can bet that Lex Luthor is planning to modify one with a Kryptonite insert for his next golf match with Superman.

    The Killer Bee was a good one too. Who can forget Rocky Thompson (major cheese) and his touting of this amazing club. It must have been like 12 years ago but I went to a Senior Tour event (Raley's Gold Rush) and saw Rocky Thompson on one of the holes. He was wearing polyester and looked to be in a foul mood. I was up near the green and his caddie drove up in the cart and was shaking his head and I heard him say "un-fuc#ing believable, what an arsehole".

    Afetr this thread being bumped, I finally got around to seeing what all the fuss is about. I must say I was very impressed. That infomercial was everything everyone said it was. I want a whole set of clubs with zero cc. I also can't wait for steel shaft manufacturers to figure out how to make shafts that cut through the wind like swords. Does this mean that GFF clubs will now truly be made by master samurai sword makers (at least the shafts)?

    It means naive investors exist who will provide $ for lunatic dirtbags to make infomercials about ridiculous stuff.

    I spent 60 bucks with a top notch fitter for just over an hour on the Trackman launch monitor. It added about 20 yards to my drive based on how he fit me and to think I could have gotten 10 more yards if I had just bought this freaking Hammer X.

    [QUOTE=daveperk;137695]But if you hit a giant hook and the club snaps off in your hand, isn't that called a Snap Hook?[/QUOTE]

    Keep taliking sh*^t on "The Hammer", but you will respect it when I hit it way passed your driver. Any Driver!!!!! BOOM, POW!! I work in the golf industry, and have the good fortune to hit every club that comes down the pike. I will buy a new driver when one the "Big Guys" builds a better club!:)

    How far can you hit it off a mat on an airport runway with little or no wind? I've never hit one but I assume from the scintillating infomercials that a grunt that begins just prior to impact and lasts into the follow-through can give one a percentage clubhead speed increase and, dud to the modern marvel of universal flex shaft striations, results in a good many more yards of carry. If I get up and call in now, can I get the Hammer three wood for no extra cost and the bonus head covers? Four easy installments of $39.95 US, correct?

    So Jack, what have those infomercials being doing for your bank balance lately? By bumping this thread I'd say not so great.

    Yes...its a great club...i picked up 12 yards on tee shots...just make sure you tee it up higher than you think for optimal ball flight and roll-out....The roll-out on firm fairways is phenomenol!

    If you think the roll-out on firm fairways is phenomenal (you spelled it wrong), you should see the roll-out in a parking lot. I hit it from one end of the Wal-Mart parking lot to the other without ever hitting a large woman in a moo-moo. Believe me, in a Wal-Mart parking lot that's not as easy as it sounds.

    Gosh...thanks for the spellcheck Poindexter....by the way...the manager from your local Walmart is running a special on moo-moo's this week...if you get out there with your clubs you might actually hit a large woman in a moo-moo this time, with a bag full of clearance moo-moo's you can snag and take home for yourself... you fashionista! Fore!

    After playing "at" this wonderful game since I was 12....I'm 66 now....if I've learned one thing it's this: Stick to the tried and true. Those names that have been synonomous with golf like Titleist, Cobra, Callaway, Cleveland, Ping, Wilson Staff, Adams, MacGregor, and so many others, are the ones to stake your game and your money on. Infomercials on "new wonder" products are just so much smoke and mirrors.
