I had a look through the forums and couldn't find a thread similiar to this (possibly im blind ) but i thought it would be interesting if everyone shared the worst club they had ever hit.
For me it was an old ram wood i found in a relatives shed, it appeared to be in good condition but boy when you hit it it made a real hollow sound and went absoloutely nowhere, i would compare it to hitting a ball with a rolling pin.

A kid on my HS golf team was braggin' about putting the ball 230 yards with his new "460". 460 this 460 that, turns out he was reading the stakes wrong and it was going 180 ... Aaaanyway, back to the topic. It was a new ram driver and I took one swing and there was this horrible clank, the club was aluminum, and it hit so dead it hurt my hands.

I'd have to say the worst club i've ever hit was the first set my grandfather "gifted" me ....a set of pinnacle steel shafted driver/3w/5w. Hit it like hitting a bowling ball with a sponge, no distance, hurt like hell in any weather under 75* and the shafts were something made of copper, bent about 2 weeks after i had them on a drive, AND a fairway wood...

The worst from a modern premium brand (at least they were for a little while back in 90's), was a Goldwin ADVP driver. It was made of aluminum and just felt horrible. At the time I had the ADVP irons and loved them so I was excited to find a used Goldwin driver at a used club store. It was expensive new, but they had this for $25 so I almost bought it without even trying it. I probably hit 10-12 balls with it, thinking that I must have just hit it wrong (it as a much bigger head than the driver I was playing with at the time). Finally I realized it wasn't me but the club.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG with Aldila DVS stiff shaft. No feel, no distance, no accuracy. But it could have been the shaft. Maybe the shaft's not for me, but this club/shaft combo was terrible in my hands.

A $10 "driving iron" from the mid nineties I found in a Sport Authority. It was a "Pro Select Pro Action 363" w/ 23* of loft. It was almost comical how bad the club was. It felt like it was made out of rubber.

To this day, the Goldwin ADVP is the only driver in my bag. All my friends laugh when i pull it out, but it sure does make me feel good when i out drive them!!!!!!!

(Which only happens maybe once every other round!!)

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
