Persimmon has less ball speed or ”cor” by nature it’s wood and ceramic inserts yet it seems to go as far or just 12 yards shorter on average than titanium without the added benefit of a 45 inch 65 gram shaft explain this? Imagine a modern more dense material with the limit on ”COR” with a 45 inch 65 gram shaft swinging it 116-mph the whole face would be the hot zone and at 240 cc it wouldn’t pop up,hook and thin hits would d be low burners all with the same ball speed.DogDenGolf > Travel > The Golf Course Gems: The Golf Course Gems:ĭavid Ogden is a member of some great golf organizations in the Pinehurst region and has associations with other private clubs in Pinehurst. To me titanium is just ting it has a lot of mass goes all over the place in direction and when you happen to add 112+ mph speed and hit it right you get 300 yard crushed sometimes other times it’s just wild toe hooks and pop ups it’s actually not very forgiving.
The thing is I hit the driver 250-260 all the time it’s heavy and grooves my swing and because it’s a solid mass object when you hit it about right it goes deep. I estimate 108 mph club head speed the ball went high was pured on the millimeter and was the best shot I have hit in 10 years. Ok I swung hard it’s a 43 inch steel DG gold 120+ gram shaft and I am strong however it’s shorter so It was limited. Recently I hit my Titleist 1989 persimmon driver 280 yards on flat ground tee shot no wind with a brand new callaway soft with a graphene core so it’s a modern ball. I’m no so sure that the hammer x wasn’t on the right track actually it was probably just built with a junk shaft and poor metallurgy. The only intel we could get is that he has apparently gone full covert recluse status, but is still in Denver. So, of course we did everything in our power to track this guy down. Hell, I am willing to bet many of you reading this right now still have one sitting in the garage as a reminder what not to do at 4 AM with a gallon of Rocky Road and a cold one in your lap. So many that Jack launched product after product in the dark hours between 1AM-4AM on a golf channel near you. What sounds like a joke now, actually sold a lot of drivers. Could it be true? I have to buy it to see. The Hammer X driver promised to add a whopping 50 yards on all your tee shots. His commercials which boasted “revolutionary” technology like a sword-shaped shaft, a “Zero CC” design and many others promised golfers what they all were so desperate to hear. We should add genius marketer to the list. Jack Hamm supposedly has hit a golf ball a 1/4 mile, has a club head speed of 162 mph, holds 6-World Records and is the father of the big headed driver. That’s right Jack Hamm was screaming “POWWWW!!!” all the way to the bank when he released the famous Hammer X driver. From one of the most recognized faces in the history of golf gear. It is arguably one of the most popular golf infomercials ever.
