My father inlaw does. A while ago his clubs got stolen, and that was the first club he replaced. He loves his killer bee driver. He's twenty-five years older then me and keeps up with my distance, and is 10x straiter than me. Maybe he's on to something.

I thought these were non-conforming clubs? Maybe they have different models though. The one I saw was an anti-slice, non-conforming franken-club.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Had one of the originals when they first came out - longer shaft, whippy, low kick point. If you hit it right, the club was amazingly long. More often then not, you would  hit it deep into the woods. Very difficult to time and control.

Same here, but I hit it only at the driving range. VERY whippy long shaft. Talk about a rock on a string. Think I'd do better with a string. Just thinking about it makes me hanker for Wilson's fat shafts. The saga of the Black Rock Killer Bee is interesting. Oughta be a link for the full story. Entrepeneur had a warehouse full of the clubs made to sell on TV, then the USGA came down on them as non-conforming, then a lawsuit, then bankruptcy, then vindication that they were in fact legal, too late. Sale of brand name to Golfsmith, who has had it for years now. I assume Golfsmith's Killer Bees are better than the old ones?

My dad has one and he hits that thing pretty good. Even uses it on the fairway occasionally.

Couple of days ago I got out the old Killer Bee (that I still have; loaned it out for a year or two and got it back with a dent on the sole--were they hitting off concrete?) and swung it. The shaft doesn't seem as whippy as I remembered. Last time I hit a ball with it, it was alongside stiff and XS shafts.

Interesting fact - before they named it the "Killer Bee" they originally intended to call it the "Tiger Wood". And that's before Tiger Woods hit the golf scene. They would have been able to keep the name, and probably would have sold a whole pile more.

Just went to an older guys garage.  He has literally hundreds of clubs and 4 or 5 dozen sets of clubs.  
 

I took an assortment of drivers to the range Taylor Made, Titlist, Big Bertha, King Cobra and the Killer Bee 300nc

Wow!  I bought the Killer Bee.   Got an Odyssey Duel Force putter too. 
 

both set me back a total of $55 and I got both clubs!

There used to be a older guy at our range, almost every other day, who hit a Killer Bee with about a 60" shaft!  Such an anomaly.  People would gather around to watch him and ask questions.

I never saw him on the course.  And I never saw him with any other clubs... just the Killer Bee on the range.  Nice guy.

Haven't seen him in a long time.  Must have moved on to Killer Bee heaven... where every drive you hit goes 412 yards.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By snapfade ·

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
