The PGA tour players warmed up with their driver and hit 5 recorded shots with impact paper on their driver face. They then were handed a club they never hit before and without a practice swing hit 5 shots with the test driver; a 9.5 degree, older Bridgestone J33R with PM702s graphite design stiff shaft and the four longitudinal grooved golf grip, called Grooved Grip.
The following illustrations show the impact spot on each; their driver on the left and Test Driver on the right.
