However, the data does not completely support the claims made in the promotional video. To our surprise though, the GX-7 was shown to be far from terrible. “Physics is whispering in my ear and saying, Um, no.”īasically, most of you thought this was nothing more than a snake-oil dipped ShamWoW wrapped on the end of a shaft. “Killing infomercial “super clubs” is far more important than comparing major brands, you guys are awesome for doing this.” “Maybe once exposed we won’t have to see these stupid commercials.” “This is the biggest piece of s*** I’ve seen.” When we first announced we would be testing this latest “AS SEEN ON TV” product to our readers we got some interesting feedback. Using the standard deviations of ball speed and carry distance as measures of consistency, the GX-7 was less consistent across the testing pool.The driver and GX-7 X-Metal launched at nearly the same angle (15°) with the driver spinning roughly 300 RPM less.While the GX-7 produced significantly shorter in distance than the driver, it finished just under four yards closer to the target line on average.Though this is to be expected as both the GX-7 and 3-wood are 43″. The driver achieved, on average the highest ball speeds and longest carries.The table below shows launch monitor data for each of the three clubs tested. Ball and Head Data were recorded using a Foresight GCQuad Launch Monitor.All testers hit Bridgestone B330-RX Golf Balls.Remaining outliers were identified using Median Absolute Deviation (both distance and offline), and dropped before calculation of the final averages.Gross mishits were eliminated and are not included in the shot counts.Each tester hit 12-14 shots for each club from the group (frequently rotating between clubs).10 golfers with handicaps ranging from 8-18 and driver swing speeds between 70 and 90 mph participated in this test.The same clubs were used in each session for every tester.Three total clubs were tested: GX-7 X-Metal, along with a 10.5° driver, and a 16° three wood from leading manufacturers.With that in mind, our testing pool was chosen to accurately reflect the target demographic for this club. This club is designed for those high-handicap and/or slow swing speed golfers. There is a slight caveat to this new infomercial club: low handicappers and fast swingers need not apply. When something sounds this too good to be true, it usually is. To save you the risk of spending your own money and potentially wasting your own time, we got ahold of a GX-7 and put it to the test.
