Control Information:  Controls were the first five balls hit during the demo, so these stats are from some pretty cold swings.  That being said, Jason had no issues when he pummelled his 3rd ball 333 yards.  Easily the longest drive of the day.  My five control balls were all pretty good.  No major misses in there.  – Ian

Data Source:  Pro Golf Discount in Southcenter was kind enough to allow us a couple hours on the their launch monitor.  An important note is that we had the launch monitor set on the SOFT setting to attempt to simulate usual Pacific Northwest golf conditions.
