I’m just curious.
I was involved with the advertising of this company from its beginning all the way to its quick bankruptcy. For a few years they had the biggest and most action packed booth at the PGA show in Orlando.
I still have a bunch of the clubs sitting in a corner of my basement. I shake my head every time I walk by them.

an ion putter?

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

No, actually they only used the best materials and the design was sound.

It was a matter of bad timing (the entire golf club market was over-saturated at the time of their introduction) and they tried to be too big, too fast (the biggest booth at the PGA show, full page ads in the all the golf publications, TV commercials on the Golf Channel, etc.). Millions and millions of $ was lost.

I have one of their three woods and really hit it well. Kind of a funky shaft,
but not a bad club. I only took it out when I started playing the Halo 2i hybrid.

And didn't Nike just buy their head/hosel system for their fitting carts?

If the Quick-Fit system was sold to Nike, me and a crowd of other unpaid creditors would like to know.

Where did you hear this?

No, their clubs are actually pretty nice. I'm still using their 3 wood in my bag and my dad uses all the woods by them and also has that putter. Kinda strange design with the "Power Sphere" thing but looks pretty good in person and you can store a golf ball in there if you're really bored

      Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
