Bernie and Ed, Every year for our golf trips south I used to get a New secrete weapon for our 9 days of fun in the pines and marshes of Jekyll Island, Ga. Late Feb early March. Anyway, one such weapon was a Power Pod when it first came out. I was sure it would cure my 50 yard slice. We got to Jekyll late that evening and we all got out to hit balls on the range before checking in. I pulled out the Pod "guaranteed not to slice" and promptly hit three balls off the range!!! I kept toeing it. When I got the distance to stand from the ball down, it did very well for me. I hit many straight long drives down the left side of the fairways among the tall Ga. Pines. Trouble was, then I had to hit my next shot from the left side of the fairways and my slice with everything else in my bag, including my PW was hard to get on the green. No room to aim left and hit the big banana with a calculated angle adjustment coincident with the club I was hitting. 2 iron 35 yds adj. left azimuth, PW about 5 yd.
Before the nine days was over got the aiming right and got some of my early losses back. I kept playing that club for almost three years. Still have it. They even later on brought out a Titanium version. This was long before I found my salvation in longer shafted clubs with a hook or offset face.

They had some breakage problems, if I recall correctly, but they were fixed. It looks like they are now out of business.
