Wow, what a coincidence. My wife's aunt (who made off with the first 21* tee club I built for my wife) had been using a clone of the TM Bubble driver, R-80, 10*. A friend had helped her pick it out. She was reluctant to even try my wife's, but when she did she wouldn't give it back. Now I have the TM clone in my garage. (I almost typed "garbage" for garage -- freudian slip.)
