FINAL THOUGHTS
When we first announced we would be testing this latest “AS SEEN ON TV” product to our readers we got some interesting feedback. “You should test all these gimmicks.” “This is the biggest piece of s*** I’ve seen.” “Maybe once exposed we won’t have to see these stupid commercials.” “Killing infomercial “super clubs” is far more important than comparing major brands, you guys are awesome for doing this.” “Physics is whispering in my ear and saying, Um, no.”.

The Bold Claims
Golfers are used to equipment companies making bold promises about their products, but the GX-7 commercials take it to new heights. Here are their claims (verbatim) from the website:
Not a Great Start
Granted, I am not the target market for the GX-7, but I wanted to try out the club to see what kind of results I got. I’ve tested a ton of equipment over the last several years and learned a lot about clubs from some of the best in the industry. I can tell you that many of the claims they make are very suspicious (before even trying the club).
GX-7 Launch Monitor Data
