Golf Equipment Demonstration Day - A few words of warning

If you are a golf enthusiast, you've probably participated in a demonstration of days of golf at some point during your golf "career". If you are considering a fast, then you really read what follows, because you have "Beware of the demonstration day - you might learn something to your detriment. "
Until a few years ago, it consisted of one or manufacturers, working with a few bags of their new club for us to try the range of engine in the hope that we would be tempted to part with our hard earned money. If something in me, through as many clubs as the weather allows, or until you find one (which in my case, was invariably are) you just know your golf game to take a whole new level
From the first moment, I think his brand new driver, I only knew it, the Holy Grail of golf clubs that I have searched my whole life, golf, and not only that, the proof of power was there for all I see every right and true towards the end of the series nailed, so I wonder what the next step, press another disk or cry within my credit card.
Having bought the club, when I used it in anger "for the first time, I was subjected to what was left me one of the great mysteries of the universe. It did not. It was as if his power was suddenly evacuated.
With the passage of time and the emergence of new technologies, not just bags of golf clubs that we see today, but also a range of laptops sit on a desk with boxes weird sitting next to the alarming 'where we touched the ball. The first time I saw this collection, I was convinced that was invented for the sole purpose of solving the above "Great Mystery".
I recently attended a demonstration of these days "with a pro who plays a friend of the minor circuits, and as three or four companies big club, there was one that their golf balls.
My friend always uses what is probably the best known and most played ball on tour, but it is always open for what could save him a shot a round or painful.
We asked the guy "golf", he asked my friend what he normally plays the ball, three gave him and told the driver hit into the net. While my friend was prepared (he had his own chauffeur him), started with the guys "golf" playing with his laptop and once it was ready to hit all three shots.
After a brief review of results, the man said it was wrong to play the ball and attempted one by his company.
Another tweak to the laptop, three shots and a different assessment, but this time, miraculously, the ball perfectly. Further, straighter, better ball flight, less backspin, side spin so.
My friend was staggered, but I was not so excited while his performance and I found all six balls around the net, suggesting that the strike every once in a random order.
The guy "golf" was not happy, especially when the new series of results showed that the ball is my friend now commonly used ball was well past its own affairs.
Then we moved to another bay, where a major manufacturer of clubs have a launch monitor installed.
After one computer to another process, my friend was hit three balls off any dead with his own chauffeur. We were both convinced everyone had the ball 250 yards comfortably, which was almost in line with its average distance of about 275 meters.
Unfortunately, the launch monitor has a different story, in his opinion, the longest distance was 234 meters with a total shot "effectiveness" of only 65%, taking things as launch angle and spin rate of the distance and direction is taken.
After a tweak of the computer, my friend was given last director of the company, the three other great photos that seemed similar to his own club and a different assessment.
This time the results were much better, farther, more accurately, better rates and a general shot turned around the return of 90%!
When these results with what can be described as very detailed questions, the boy finally admitted that it seemed that the launch monitor was "wrong" and "must be made by the Sun"!
In both cases above, the machine was wrong, I let you judge. The fact is, enjoy your "Demo Day", but beware, you may learn something to your detriment.
