Its secret: an array of tiny retractable blades jutting out from the club's metal face and imbedded in a soft elastic material (see diagram). Whenever the club made contact with the ball, some of the blades would retract, forming a small, temporary pocket. The pocket, in effect, would grip the ball and reduce its tendency to spin-regardless of the angle at which the golfer whacked...
...duffer who, despite the trick club, still managed to send off his shots with a spin, Pedrick dreamed up another gimmick: a golf ball with "wings." The wings, actually six tiny metal flaps, would be held tightly against the ball's outer surface by magnets implanted beneath them. But if the ball began spinning, the flaps would be flipped out by centrifugal force and act as an air brake, retarding the spin...
...final contribution, Pedrick, whose tongue is, of course, in cheek, suggests equipping the ball with an interior wire mesh. The mesh would act as a reflector, or target, for a portable radar unit stashed inside the golf bag. Thus the ball could be easily recovered if, despite all of Pedrick's technological aids, it went astray in the woods...
