LOL some of those ideas are not new. In the 30s and 40s a lot of wood clubs had a "waffle" type pattern on the face. The shotgun shell thing is not new either someone did it I think to help handicapped people drive the ball no joke. The Hole in the center thing has been done countless times in one version or the other The most notable was the Mac Burrows metal woods  but the holes were not all the way through and on the sole

 

I have not watched the show and lost all desire to see it when on one of the advertisements promoting the show had a guy supposedly an inventor who did not know what COG was when asked. Did not mean to rain on anyone's parade just my .02 FWIW

Yeah, they have some weeding out to do.  I gotta think some of these people made the cut just so they could be voted off the island.

Agreed - they had to have SOME 'American Idol Blooper' type moments for TV. The fly swatter guy comes to mind. He literally had no concept product after he learned his original idea was illegal.

 

In reality there are probably 4-5 legitimate designs out there, but Wilson had to make a production out of the first few episodes rather than cutting to just the legitimate designs

Anyone else get a bit visually irritated by the set?

I'm enjoying the content so far, but there is something bit off in the set that makes it strain my old guy eyes. Too much red maybe? I know that's the WS color, but it's a bit much or unbalanced or something.

Also is it just me or did anyone else think it was a bit cheesy to have the Driver vs Driver logo on Brendan's Steele's hat. I know it's marketing and such, but just seemed a bit too much for me.

I agree with you on principal but then again if they were paying me as much money as they are probably paying him I would wear any logo they wanted as long as it was not vulgar or generally offensive

Oh I agree. I don't blame Steele at all. I was meaning it was cheesy on Wilson's part to have him do it.

I am sorry, but these two episodes have been a large waste of time.  I understand they wanted to show how hard it is to design a new driver, but they could have consolidate these first two episodes into one.

 

These presentations have been brutal and it has just been tough to watch.  Thank god there is DVR to get through a lot of the crap.

I haven't watched either one, but I was thinking they're stretching very little "content" across an abnormally large period of time... I couldn't watch the Big Break shows for the same reason. I DVRd last night just so I could only watch the designs when presented. I didn't understand two weeks between shows either... No momentum. Lastly, Urlacher on the panel? That one person told me this has a LOT of fluff in it.

I enjoyed the 2 episodes. Ill be back for episode 3. Its still a reality show. The first few episodes of each one is always about weeding out competitors. I like the fact it didnt go deep into their lives. We know enough about each one so you know a little bit but not so much it sappy. We get down to the really fun stuff next week. Im excited

I honestly tried to watch it I think last night and lost interest after 5 minutes and call me an old fogie I switched the channel and watched a Matlock rerun
