I bought the World's longest golf driver - does it work?
Спорт
In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels puts ‘The World’s LONGEST driver’ to the test.
The Hammer X driver claims to be the longest golf driver in the world! Longer than the Titleist TS2, TaylorMade Golf SIM, Ping G410, Callaway Mavrik, Cobra SpeedZone and every other golf driver ever made!
Will Rick Shiels hit the Hammer X golf driver 400 yards? Will this driver be the answer to longer, straighter drivers? Watch until the end to find out.

Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZread channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.

Try teeing it lower, if it’s designed for an average golfer that would most likely “stand up” during their swing and cause them to top the ball, you should tee it down since you’ll stay down on the ball.

The rep went absolutely apoplectic and began questioning ME! Wanted to know if I took part in PGA Tournaments and said if I didn't what difference did it make. He never answered my question and I said if it's not legal...it's cheating and I hung up. Interesting results you got from it. Thanks for your unparralled reporting on "everything golf."

I don't think so. The manufacturer claims that in order to get maximum distance it should be tee'd at a certain height. Rick is testing the claims of the manufacturer as stated.
In the mid 90's I bought a used Hammer driver. It had holes in the face of the club and of course wasn't legal to use. Myself and a friend that owned a driving range were launching balls about 425yrds with this thing. We both were long hitters I had driven a 320 yrd par four a couple of times and once put one around 350 on a dry hard fairway but this thing not only was long but skied the ball. I still have the head but we snapped the shaft later that year. I have no idea why this club was so long.. but it was fun to hit... but after hitting a few everybody wanted a try. This new hammer club looks nothing like the one I have or had given the shaft is gone.
