Interesting. Low pressure behind the club. With an airplane wing, the low pressure is created above the wing as the wing shape accelerates the relative wind which decreases the pressure above the wing creating a vacuum which sucks the wing and all that is connected to it up creating the lift component and allows the thing to fly. Assuming that the "Hammer" is creating a low pressure area behind the club as stated, wouldn't that actually be creating force in the opposite direction than desired and actually sucking the club head backward which would decrease your swing speed and cause shorter drives?
