BIG STU Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted October 17, 2016 SPY VIP Share Posted October 17, 2016 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.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 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 Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

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

SuperDave Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Now, I don't know the 1st time the shot gun shell idea was introduced but the first time I saw it was on Caddy Shack II. Sent from my SM-G920V using MyGolfSpy mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

numberonecoog Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 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 Check out my personal Equipment Blog and Podcast!

null Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Love the close up shots of the Drivers at address... with a Titleist ball. I don't care what ball Harrington plays, Wilson can't let that happen. Embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpc2828 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Not sure if you guys checked out the commercial where they talked about Wilson connect and the tech they have for basketballs and footballs, they stated that same technology was coming to golf, hopefully sooner than later, sounds neat.
