Neither of those things made a difference past the typical change that comes with anything that increasing your interest for a bit, and there is no reason to believe that this approach would be anything difference.

Scientifically prove to the consumer that a club that is set at a 45 degree angle is the optimal address. Have an outside agency attach the device at various angles with a driver, 2 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron and record the statistics. Then, find out what are the optimal angles for each club based on standard golf club lengths. That will tell the inventor what angles is optimal and that his device will help the average golfer. Also, not only do golf clubs vary by length, but also the height of the golfer from shoulder to hands, to ground. So if anything this 45 degree angle philosophy is much too general - it depends on various parameters. Also, just because a golfer addresses the ball at 45 degrees doesnt mean he will keep it on plane throughout the entire swing to add extra distance. All in all I think its just another crazy idea to suck in golfers with deep pockets.
