We want to know if you have tried the new Doggie Driver from Hyper Products. Good, Bad, what is your experience with this new product from Hyper Products?
I don't know much about the driver but I purchased a hyper dog slingshot a few years ago. The Idea was it would launch tennis balls but the rubber they used was so cheap it rotted out and broke in a few months. It was also pretty gross to squeese that slimmy tennis ball in the launcher with your hand.
I guess my big question on this one is why not just use a regular golf club and some tennis balls.

I think I purchased my tennis ball launcher at Gander Mountain. I had the same experience as Pheasant Wrangler but the dirver looks like a better idea. You can check out hyper products website at: http://www.hyper-products.com/index.html
The products are ingenious and appealing in a lot of ways. Personally, I have a hard enough time getting my dog to retrieve without the humiliation of showing her how bad of a slice I have.
Might just be easier to take the dog along golfing and have it retrieve those slices from OB or the water hazards. Sure could help the scorecard a bit.
Absolutely sucks in my opinion... bought one at Menards for $20.00 or so a few months ago... it jacked up my golf swing because I was trying to "throw" the ball... a Chuck-It is much more effective, and won't mess up your golf form. Also, it's REALLY hard to get an undisciplined dog to not stand directly in the path of the club and ball.... instead they bounce around because you have their ball... Just use a Chuck-It... for your sake and the dog's sake...

I agree (waste of money) my girlfriend bought the hyper dog slingshot , i think you can throw the tennis ball farther with your arm, the rubber on mine also rotted out.
