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.

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

Oh yeah. I still remember them. My local golfsmith still has a few of those wedges with the circular hole in them. Never tried the clubs though.

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.

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 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
