Interesting, but a couple clarifications.
Do you really direct drive an 8" wheel - seems like you would be getting surface speeds on the wheel of almost 4 times the max ball speed, so you are either losing a lot of energy in the energy transfer to the ball, or your exit velocity might be too high.
I think you get backspin, not topspin, so you're shootin' a 9 iron, not a 3 wood (I'm not a good enough golfer to use a driver)
This is probably fine for "short" shots, but might limit your range.
