This is the 9th in my series of Saturday Golf Breakfast Serials: Chapter Nine of P.G.

I've been making and repairing golf clubs longer than I've been playing. I got started when a golfer friend of mine brought me a club and asked if I could replace the broken shaft (I have a reputation as a handy guy). No problem.
Since then, I've built every club I've played. Most have come from Golfsmith or Golfworks. But other companies offerings are always tempting me.
One is KZG golf. I've not actually tried them because they only sell through their dealer network, but their products are interesting.
One new product is the dual-faced Gemini Driver. What makes it so interesting is that it features a second face plate behind the forged and heat-treated titanium face which the manufacturer claims adds greater stability and rigidity, and creates a huge sweet spot.

So you bought a nice, new, $600 Taylor Made driver. And on your first tee shot, you popped the ball, leaving a nasty scratch that proclaims to all the world that you are a bad golfer.
No more. With the Pop Up Protector, you can coat your precious with a thin, flexible, glossy, transparent, thermoplastic elastomer that the manufacturer claims is scratchproof. Better yet: you can remove it when you actually get enough game not to pop the ball in the first place.
