Russian golfers?  There's no hunt in that dog.  I bet he shanks it right into NE Tasmania.

This company cracks me up for some reason.  I just can't look away. The space station stunt is pretty clever and they're definitely getting a lot of attention because of it.

Check out this press release.  I can't tell if it's satire or serious, but either way, the writing is brilliant:

For frequent players, the Company's unique Shockblok™ technology will protect the body of a golfer from impact of shots 270% better than steel shafts, while delivering crystal clear contact signature as well as improved distance of about 9 yards per club and lowering dispersion by 50%. All data has been independently tested and verified.

And, here's the description of the E21 putter:

• Hydrofoil Cavity TM principles

• Water collects up around the cavity

• Slightly pressurizing and closing off air inside the cavity

• The putter rides on the rolling water surface that beads up around cavity

• The surface friction is minimal as the air pressure in a closed cavity keeps the putter suspended.

• Uniform swing speed creates perfect “frictionless” pendulum

• Scandium shaft for unadulterated ball signature and transfer of energy

E21 irons:

• Encapsulated Jet Fighter cavity back design

• High recoil liquid polymer packed cavity

• Ripple Free Quiet contact with highest energy transfer coefficient

• Customizable COG (centre of gravity) and swing weight

• CST ( Contact Signature Tuned) to scandium Eagle One shaft

or shank it into the space station creating a big hole causing the station to lose orbit and come firing back down to Earth in a ball of flame destroying....
