I am looking at getting a new Taylormade rescue 11, and I saw that Hurricane golf has the lowest price at around $100. Anybody have any experience with hurricane golf? Would you recommend them?

If it sounds too good to be true... it may be best to avoid. Or do your research.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

You'll notice they mention their parent company on their website, but not by name.

Their website (www.hurricanegolf.com) is owned by Diamond Tour Golf out of Illinois who specializes in Cloned Clubs (but none of them have trademarked names on them on their website (www.diamondtour.com).

Is it plausible that Hurricane just does what they claim, buying closeouts directly from manufacturers and selling them with little overhead since they already have a warehouse for their other business (clones)?  I think so (just my opinion, of course).  They're just a smaller version of Rock Bottom Golf, from what I can tell.

In all of my searching, there's not a single legitimate complaint I could find about them online.  And you can BET that if they got caught trying to pass off a fake as the real thing, they'd get hammered online.  One over-aggressive website had the guts to post them on a list of companies that was "suspected" of selling fake clubs, but the only reason they did so was because someone posted a comment that their prices were too good to be true (so they assumed they were counterfeits).  Pretty ballsy move, if you ask me.  Let's not condemn someone if we don't know for sure.  Know what I mean?

According to a few posts on other golf forums there are guys who bought stuff and went as far as checking the serial numbers and the clubs they bought were totally legit (and no, these weren't forum members who only had 1 or 2 posts, either).  In addition, the Hurricane owner (Jason Hiland) apparently is a pretty respected member over at www.FreeGolfInfo.com, another golf forum.

But if you have any questions for him, his email (from that golf forum) is jason@diamondtour.com.  I wouldn't think you'd find many counterfeiters out there who are this open with their personal information.

Here's his Facebook page.  He doesn't look like a crook.  lol

Seems to me this came up before on Sand Trap.

Jason even went as far as registering to answer the question himself.

Actually, the more I read, the more I think I'm going to be shopping there next time I need clubs.

Here's a piece written by Jessica Baldwin, a Communications professor at Northern Illinois University.  Not sure what it was written for (it's on the school website) but I don't doubt it's legit and not just something the company managed to get online.

I recently bought a new Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 2 hybrid from them. It arrived quickly and it is just what I bought, a good Callaway club at a good closeout price.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Just wanted to post that I conducted my first transaction with Hurricane Golf recently and it was superb from start to finish. There was a mistake on their part in fulfilling the order and they dealt with it promptly. The resolution was so heavily weighted in my favor that I actually felt guilty about it and expressed that, and all the guy had to say was, "Merry Christmas!"

The next time I'm looking to buy something on line, it'll be the first place I check.

I've gotten stuff from them before and never had a problem. No clubs though. Dick's had some hybrids on clearance a few weeks ago. I bought a Cleveland 4H for $51. They also had some Nickent adjustable hybrids for $59.

I live about a half hour from Hurricanes warehouse/store in Decalb Illinois. First class operation with great customer service and great prices. I've purchased Cobra irons, various drivers by Cleveland Taylormade and Adams and other accessories from them. Never have I had a problem and they always seem to beat their competitions prices. I have no affiliation other than being a satisfied customer.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
