John,
This promotion has been going on in the U.K. for the past several
months. It appears as a one page ad in both Golf Monthly and
Golf World. Being a Scot, I haven't as yet parted with any dosh
to see if the claims work.
Mind you it is an interesting concept, taking a sandwedge off the
tee to avoid all the trouble up ahead, then taking a driving iron
off the fairway and drilling the ball 250yards straight into the
heart of the green. I bet the old golf architects would be
turning in their graves at the thought.
Sounds like a very American promotion to me too.

| 1656.2 | Why is this obviously an American promotion? | FALCNS::THRASHER | | Fri Mar 19 1993 11:04 | 9 |
| Regarding .1
What do you mean, "Sounds like a very American promotion to me too."?
Please explain "very American". Obviously all promotions in the U.K.
and Down Under must have some definitive quality which distinguishes
them from "American".

| I haven't seen any of these offers here in the US yet - has anyone
else? Of course, if I get one, it'll go straight to the trash...
Automatically corrects hook/slice? Yeah, right. Unless it comes with
someone to swing the thing for ya... :-)

Dan,
No offense meant to our American colleagues. I suppose its the
difference between overstating and understating. The Brits, and
our Oz colleagues, tend to understate. Whereas Amercians,
well,... you know, they tend to...

| I got the ad in the U.S., but didn't bite. I want to see someone else
try it first. The clubs weren't expensive, I believe around $150 for
the driving iron. If I remember correctly, the face was slightly
concave (really can't notice unless you look for it) to cure the slice
and hook.
Interesting concept. Somebody must be buying to pay for these
international campaigns.

| I've been having a problem lately with hitting a nasty looking hook
from the tee. This seems to happen, typically, when I hit behind the
ball and scuff up the grass before striking the ball. I realize this
isn't much to go on but any help would be appreciated as this has cost
me a host of strokes over last part of this season.
Thanks,
Bob

| Get your weight off your right side quicker, and keep the club going
out to the target.

re: -.1
I think that might be it, too. Plant the right leg/knee at address
and leave it there almost until contact. That'll almost force you
to transfer your weight back onto your forward heel after impact.
