GOLFBUSTERS: THE HAMMER X

I have had a Hammer Driver 3 wood, putter, and sand wedges for the last 5 years They are great clubs. My best success has been my ability as a 65 year old golfer to hit a 3 wood 200 plus yards on the fairway and a putter I could aim the longest puts straight. I play pretty well all the other clubs.

I purchased the hammer x and paid the freight to Australia
I have tried everything to get it to work so have my golfing partners
As far as I am con concerned it is a piece of junk
As one of your reviews sad it is like wracking your club into a piece of concrete
Just rubbish and all the good reviews must have been written by family members of the designer
Very disappointed and I wish I lived in the usa so I could return it and get my money back
I wouldn’t waste any more money sending it back

I got conned and I suppose if it was so good then why are there no professional golfers using it
Very disappointed

Three things that debunk the Hammer driver.
1. If the 50 yard increase was real, you would see tour professionals using this club. 50 yards to some means the difference between the PGA tour vs the Web.com tour. There are no tour pros using this club.
2. If the clubs claim were valid, you would see the major manufacturers of clubs copying said design.Only other hack clubs even look close to the hammer.
3. Since no other club promises a 50 yard increase. My suspicion is the hammer may not pass USGA standards for clubs. That may be why the club is only available from Mr. Hammers website, and not through any golf shop or USGA member club.

As the old adage says, if it’s too good to be true…

I used to work in the golf industry and demo’d The Hammer driver at our office driving range. My handicap is in the 6-9 range depending on how well I’m playing so I’m a decent ball striker with a driver swingspeed in the low 100’s. This club is trash. I spent a lot of time at that range and knew where my typical carries would land, and this club had to be 25 yards shorter than the OLD Taylormade I had in the bag at the time (I was still playing a R7 and this would have been in ~2012).

I received my driver yesterday
I’m not happy with it
I hit my R11 probably 100 yds farther
What do I need to do to return it
My phone is 412 302 1857

I just bought the Hammer 500X. I used it this morning on the driving range for the first time. I hit 50 drives. Normally, I hit 20/50 fairways. This morning, using the Hammer, I hit 42/50 fairway shots, right down the middle. I normally hit 225-275 yards, when I hit the fairway. Today, I hit the same distance as I did with the old driver, but, because I was straight down the middle with my drives, I’m sure that it will mean 5-10 less strokes when I play an actual round. I’m very happy with it!

The claims of the Hammer driver are fake, and I’ve never even hit one the clubs. The claims are fake because 1) if the claims made were valid, every other golf club maker would get one, reverse engineer it, and you would see copies based on that design. Look at the current crop of drivers on the market, and most have the same features and design concepts. 2) Again, if the claims were true, and amateurs are seeing 40+ yards in distance with a straighter shot, wouldn’t pros want that club. (Imagine a web.com player adding 40+ yards to his drive, might make the PGA tour) 3) with every club, the manufacturer must submit the club to USGA to be approved for use. And the USGA has a firm stance that consistent, well-struck golf shots will be the result of a players skill and ability, not by an advantage from equipment.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

I love how “Rob”, “Tony” and “George” are actually John Hamm making comments on this review.

So, the shaft is illegal because it is not designed to bend the same in any direction around its circumference.

“At any point along its length, the shaft must:

(i) bend in such a way that the deflection is the same regardless of how the shaft is rotated about its longitudinal axis; and”

And the head is also illegal as it has a hole(s) in it.

“However, features which are deemed to be in breach of this requirement and are therefore not permitted include, but are not limited to:

(i) All Clubs

holes through the face;
holes through the head (some exceptions may be made for putters and cavity back irons)”

So I decided to try this thing. I’ve seen Jack Hamm’s infomercials for 20 years now on the golf channel as im sure you all have… I figured I’d finally try it. For the price… why not. I took it out on the course without practicing first with it. Bad idea I could barley get it off the ground. I never really hot the sweet spot…

I was on the verge of sending it back. I called and they answered and basically told me the sweet spot is higher on the face due to inverted unique shape… So I had to tee the ball much higher over the face. I tried it at the range and it made a huge difference. It went further than my old driver so I decided to keep it. Not bad for $99. I’d try it to see if it suits your swing or not! I know some of my golf budds who cant hit the Hammer any better than their regular driver while some love it… Like any golf club, putter wedge etc …! So best thing you can do is try it for yourself!

I’m glad to know that this was all crap!

Every time I see this infomercial I crack up though …. POW!

No crown and no ball skid marks!!! Of course the inverted club face helps too.

The Hammer X was a real thing? I thought that YouTube clip was a lampoon of golf infomercials. Hilarious!

Just did some Jack Hamm research, aka, hammsearch.
First, LA Times article from 97′ http://articles.latimes.com/1997/sep/28/sports/sp-37036

But, the real gem is his twitter page which may be both the best and worst twitter account I have ever read. It’s a like the Iron Sheik was a long drive douchebag.
@JackHammerHamm

Love it. I think Phil playing the Hammer X this weekend.

I had the same issue I bought this driver online (the new 2017 version) and it actually lost distance at first! I called the company they asked me how high i was teeing it up. I said I tee it up as high as I would any driver… moderate… They said in order for this driver to work due to the inverted face you need to tee it over the face by at least an inch… the higher the better! I did that. It actually worked it went 15 yards further than my Callaway epic! It instantly felt more solid! Kind of stupid if you ask me that you have to tee it so high but hey it worked. Its no doubt the longest driver ive ever hit. When I used it as it was intended!

I’ve waited so long for this review.

It worked for me. Key is you have to tee it higher than normal because of the inverted face. When I tee it the same height s my taylormade it went no where. When I teed it an inch over the head it went 50 yards further than my Taylormade! You have to use the tool properly for it to work. Hope that helps!

Jack Hamm isn’t in hiding. He changed his name and now owns PXG.

POWWWW!!!!

True story….I literally found one broke in half in a trash can at the golf course.
Have to admit I did take it a put a shaft in it and yes I did scream boom when I hit it!!!

Haha… In the wise words of TK, I did NOT see that one coming! Who’d have thought this golf club was a total piece of garbage?!

Good write up. i’m sending it to my Dad, since I was just making fun of him when I found one of these in his garage. Just wondering, why do you choose the Bridgestone balls for your testing? (over any others?)

I found an original version for sale in the used bin at my local store…15 bucks…had to snap it up just to say I have one…lol. Yelling pow after each tee shot really does provide more distance too…fyi! Lol

If Chuck Norris played golf he would use this driver

wonder if it is USGA conforming…
…and if it is, why was the back plate of the Triton a problem?

Last year our foursome let an elderly gentleman play through that had one of these. He ended up letting all four of us tee one up with it. I didn’t think it felt half bad. Hit it within 10 yards of my TM. Those infomercials were way over the top but fairly representative of tv marketing in that era. And don’t forget the predecessor to the Hammer X, the Air Hammer.

It only took 16 years of changes in technology to out perform the hammer x!

Shocking

If only the Hammer had vertical grooves.

Hamm is in seclusion because he is a conman! Advertisers think golfers are moron’s! And they are right! I have seen Bruce Fleisher tell everyone that the Q link necklace will make you a better golfer just by putting it around your neck! P Azinger said the same thing about a shirt he was selling.
Even the guy who wrote this ad, calls Hamn’s ad popular! It’s not POPULAR!!! I think Hamn pays for everyone! The club sucks and Hamn is a shister!!

powwwwwwww!

POW!!!

Your test is flawed! It only works if you yell “BOOOOM!” When you hit it.

Now this guy I know well. Yes he was long off the tee. But he never entered any long drive contest at all.
Years ago he got into it with Bob Toski at the golf show. He was trying to cut Toski down in a very loud way. So all could hear.
I didn’t think Hamm made any club that was approved by the USGA.
He wanted a club that I designed, but could not make it right.
All of his clubs came from someone else.
The first club to come out he got from an older man(the guy that put Velcro on golf gloves) screwed him to wall and caused another fight at golf show. Much more

Did you yell POWWW with each shot?

If no one shouted ‘BOOM’ or ‘POW’ after each shot with the Hammer then it wasn’t a fair test..

No surprise, an infomercial overpromises…BTW Jack is around, a friend just rented his house in Steamboat Springs Colorado Ben Manley

I sweat this guy was next to me at Tilden Park in Berkeley on Saturday…looked just like him. He made these weird deep breathing noises before he attacked the ball…but he was hitting a few off the net which would probably be a 260-265 carry. He wasn’t using the hammer though

NEXT WEEK:

The Alien Wedge vs. Titleist Vokey

I hit one of these my friend owned. My 2007 Burner went 20 yards farther, so the arguments about new tech are bunk along with the shaft argument. This thing was a scam from the get go. Luckily my buddy only paid $5 at a garage for his.

The golf informercial said golf magazine
Tested jack’s swing speed at 162

Is that correct?

Ball speed should be about 221

That’s 400+

But the average amateur swings 90 mph

Ball speed 130

221 distance is right

So are these claims false advertising?

Getting 50 yards more seems unlikely.

I was tested for s driver using flight scope

My swing speed tap out at 95-100(best)

Ball speed 130 -140

Result: 209 carry, 224 average

Hit one ball 250 total

Not so easy indoors

You feel you have to swing out of your shoes
Not the way golf is played

Swing easy , hit hard

Rich

Did you yell POWWW at impact? If not the test is not accurate.

Old P.T. Barnum strikes again, Yes my dear there is a sucker born every minute !

The Hammer has an unconditional return policy. It also has one of the highest consumer complaint numbers of any info commercial ever made. The BBB rating is an F. No wonder the HAMMER is hiding in the mountains of Colorado.

OK your claims here are bunk, this is the first time you guys have failed us in testing parameters.
You need to….no HAVE TO compare driver contemporaries from that Era, not brand new technology not available to sensei hammer and and his fleet of engineering techs.
Sorry just not fair. You also have to activate the power core screaming POW!!! To reach yardage claims, everyone knows that testing properly will yield best results.
It’s well know too that the major oems forced hamm to be on at those hours for fear of his revolutionary products and that 3 hour window wade all he was allowed to sell in (1am to 4am). Dam biased Golf industry.
Jack hamm and Chuck Norris had a driver contest that ended in a draw. Look it up

Only a complete idiot, with absolutely ZERO understanding of physics, would have expected the results to have been any different.

Firstly there’s a reason why convertibles are slower than hard tops. Its called wind resistance.

Secondly, the Hammer would have tge trampoline effect of a concrete floor.

Thirdly, the shaft is the engine room and that ‘sword’ shaft is about as flexible as Frankenstein’s monster.

I could go on, but….

As they say, a fool and his money is soon parted…. especially an angler or golfer…. lol

Would love to see you perform a comparative test of the
GX-7 X-Metal Golf Club

It would be more current to test his new putter. The claims made in the infomercial are incredible.

E8.6 Swingweight? Hahahahaha!

you only needed one golfer to perform this test, I call BS

heheeheee

would changing the shaft male the swing weight similar to the modern drivers? I thought it was interesting that the spin rate was lower than M1. If Hammer driver can be swung faster….that is my question.

It’s not a fair test unless the testers yelled after each drive like in the commercial….

Good review, but one issue…

The Hammer X came out sometime in 2012 or before (can’t find a precise date with a cursory google search)… to make this a fair test, you should have used the top driver from the year it was released. Just like we’d expect the M1 to best the R11, we’d expect most 2016 clubs to best 2012 clubs. I’m sure the Hammer X would still lose, but this fight was fixed from the start.
