Here are a few pics of mike and I at the cane patch driving range with different potential customers. I also sent a short video of me hitting the explode driver. That is the drive that I hit 347 with roll. The ball carried a bunker at 295, it was a par 5 , 550 yards. I had 203 yards to the green.<o></o>
The results that I got from the driving range, martins and golf dimensions were as follows:<o></o>
Martins:<o></o>
<o></o>
27 people hit various drivers against the TVC driver and the TVC out hit all drivers with next best driver being the Ping Rapture/V2 combo.<o></o>
The ball speed coming off the head was averaging 12% more with the TVC.<o></o>
Ball carry was averaging 10-15 yards further with the TVC.
Straightness was the best with off center hits with the TVC only 11-17 yards off center. Most other drivers were 19-26 yards off center with the same off center hit.<o></o>
Design- 23 out of 27 liked the design, weight and feel<o></o>
Golf dimensions;<o></o>
Results were similar<o></o>
14 people tested the TVC against their own drivers and the TVC out preformed all in distance, ball speed, carry, and off center hit.<o></o>
Design- 8 people liked the design, weight and feel.<o></o>
<o></o>
Driving range-<o></o>
<o></o>
30 people hit them against their own drivers and here are the findings;<o></o>
25 people hit the TVC further and straighter with our club on an average of 8 yards further.<o></o>
All hit the the ball better with off center hits on the face. Anywhere from 8-15 yards closer to center with off center face hits.<o></o>
21 people really liked the weight and feel of the TVC<o></o>
23 people liked the design<o></o>
I asked of the 30 that hit our club how many would think this would be a great addition to their game- 22 people felt it would improve their golf game. <o></o>

Thanks for the opportunity to get these in real golfers hands it was sure an eye opening experience for me and Mike. We had a blast having golfers hit our clubs and looking at the looks on their faces as the TVC would out hit their $300-$500 drivers.<o></o>
I will call you to make sure you got the pics and I will be shipping the drivers back to you very shortly. Thanks again<o></o>
