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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉.

      Long Iron

      By Micho ·

      speed blades don't have a 3iron that I know of. My 4 is already 20* . I love it as it is super straight. I went to golf Galaxy to try some hybrids and 2 iron my numbers and spin were bouncing all over the place. wasn't hitting good that day. I did hit the 4 ping 430 hybrid 215yds a  couple of times but never got consistency anywhere. It was all me mis hitting that day.The GAPR is something to think about and would like to try one sometime. in the meantime I had a 16* Adams Gold pro hybrid I was using. I took it out, choked up on it to hit it like an iron and hit it 185 into the wind and 230 with wind at my back. I am gonna ride with this awhile and see what I got. Looks promising from 1st outing.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By DaveP043 ·

      My home course is Stoneleigh GC in Round Hill VA.  The course would get murdered, from the back tees its only about 6800 yards, and there's really not room to stretch it out. There would effectively be no par-5s, and several of the par-4s would be reachable.  For contrast, local qualifying in my area is often held at Woodmont CC in Maryland, which played to over 7300 yards this year.  It took 134 (-8) to qualify for the US Open.

      If you like Taylormade, they have produced GAPR clubs for several years now. They are not-quite-hybrids... but close. They come in Lo, Mid and Hi varieties which vary in how much they look like an iron. The Lo is almost a chunky iron. The Hi looks very hybrid-esque. The Mid is somewhere in between.  Since they've made them for a while now and come out with new variations on them every year, you can probably get a slightly used one at a pretty good deal. They change the color and tweak them here and there, but they aren't that much different. If money is no object go get fitted for one that gets you your 200 yards consistently.  If the GAPR doesn't work for you Taylormade UDI and DHY might be more your cup of tea. These are slightly more iron-y than the GAPR's.  Incidentally Ping also makes a similar product theirs is called a crossover.  Basically, all the big brands have something like this. Just search out Utility Irons and you should get plenty of options.
