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

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
