My new favorite club! (What is it?)

[mellojoe]

A little more than a year ago, I bought a used set of clubs off of a guy I work with for real cheap. It was probably about 20 clubs plus a bag. Now, I'm playing more and I'm really starting to get a feel for how I swing the different clubs.

I still tee-off with my 3-Wood, since my Driver is inconsistent, except for my slice. The 3-wood I hit fairly straight and somewhat consistent. Then, my next club in my bag was my 5-iron. So, I had quite a gap as to what I could play. 3-wood, then 5-iron on down. I felt like I needed more options. So, I bought a 3-hybrid (Bridgestone 21*) from a guy here, and started playing with it. I like it, I really do.

However, digging through my assortment of random clubs that I originally bought in that full bag, I was suprised to find a 60* lob wedge... and this other club. My new favorite club.

I think its just an older 5-wood. But, I can hit this thing all day long. Its long. Its straight. I'm consistent with it. I swing easy, and I connect consistently with it. It is now my go-to club. I just can't believe how easy this thing is to hit, and how well the ball jumps off the club. (Not to say that I'm an excellent golfer with it... I'm still just a horrible beginner. But, its just impressive that I have a club that I can hit so consistent.)

Its so perfect for me, its unbelievable.

Can anyone tell me what it is, exactly?

A nice classic club for sure. There's a good chance that you always hit this club so nicely because you have great confidence in it, and you always feel you can hit a great shot with it. Something everyone wishes they could have with all there clubs for sure.

i looks to me like a knockoff of an original taylor made burner. It appears to have a closed face too it as well which will give you a straighter shot ..

good luck with it!

if you can hit it .. and hit it confidently .. I say keep it!

Its not too terribly large, and its all metal.

Well, whatever it is.... I like it.

I guess I'll just call it the "Gazelle". Its so much fun to hit.

I gotta say, my favorite club to hit is one that I don't carry in my bag. I just started playing less than a year ago and I grabbed some old clubs that my school was throwing out. Included it it was a persimmion 5 wood. The only sign of a brand are two logos saying PGA. It had a steel shaft so it wasn't an artifact of anysorts but I gotta say, when you hit it clean, it feels good. I mean, now that I've got a kit that I did a lot of research on putting together, a shorter hitting 5 wood has no place in it but I still take it to the range once in a while just to get that nice feeling.
