Yesterday on the course, I realized that I have particular clubs that, when I hit a pure shot, it creates a sense of bliss unlike any other shot throughout the day. For me, whenever I hit my steel shafted Titleist fairway woods pure, it is an experience unlike any other. The noise, the feel, and the look of the ball flight are perfect. Do any of you have a club that just seems particularly special when you hit it right?

Every club that I strike "pure" is the most rewarding one. These feelings are getting a little more numerous, but are still too few and far between for my liking. Lately, my 5 & 7 irons have both produced the most rewards.

For me its my new Tour Burner driver and probably my 4iron
What's in the Bag


Tour Burner 9.5* stock stiff shaft
Tour Burner 14.5* 3 Wood stock stiff shaft 3DX Ironwood 20* UST Proforce V2 regular shaft 690mb Irons 4-PW rifle flighted 5.5 shafts Forged 48* wedge Vokey Design spin-milled 54*, 60* wedges Studio Select Newport 2 mid-slant TP Red&Black BallsLowe...

A long, straight, crisp shot off the 3-wood is tied with a long, accurate stick-in-near-the-pin with a long iron (for me = 5 or 6).

Driver: Nike Ignite 10.5 w/ Fujikura Motore F1
2H: King Cobra
4H: Nickent 4DX
5H: Adams A3
6I 7I 8I 9I PW: Mizuno mp-57Wedges: Mizuno MP T-10 50, 54, 58 Ball: random


Probably the 4-iron for me since it is the one I don't hit great as often as I'd like to...that or my 4 wood. I expect to hit my short irons crisp and I've been driving quite well lately.

In my Datrek Rage bag:
Driver: Sumo 5000 w/ Aldila VS Proto Stiff
4-Wood: SasQuatch 2 w/ Diamana Stiff
Irons: AP2 4-PW w/ PX 6.0
Wedges: Zodia US Spec 52*, Yururi Gekku 57*, 588 DSG RTG+Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Style 3.5 or Odyssey White Hot Tour #1Ball: ProV1 or whatever I find!


I have to second the putter. When the putter is working like it should, it has a ripple effect on the rest of my game. I'm sure most players would agree that if you're putting good, you're probably playing good too...

At least that's how I think it should be

That's how I like my golf. A kick in the face. -Ben

Driver: 983E 8.5* w/ stock stiff flex shaftIrons: MP60 - 2 through 9 irons (swap out the 2 iron for my three wood at some courses)Wedges: 588 Chrome - 47* Pitching Wedge, 53* Gap Wedge, 56* Sand Wedge MP-T Black Ni - 60* Lob WedgePutter:.....

My 3 wood of the deck. Especially when you land it on the green after a poor tee shot, or for your second on a par 5. A pretty close second would be a one hop and stop sand wedge, right next to the hole...

Of course I love nailing a drive but the most satisfying shot for me is when I stick a pin, especially with a mid-long iron. Hearing a ball hit the bottom of the cup never gets old either.

However since you asked what club I find the most rewarding, I'd have to go with my driver. I love hitting wedges into long par 4's when everybody else is hitting a mid-long iron, I love hitting irons into par 5's on my second shot too. Hitting solid drives never gets old for me and it has a major ripple effect in my round as well. When I leave the tee box with a smile on my face I tend to hit my irons better too.

Any of my mid-irons hit flush deliever a great feel.


I also love the feel of a confident struck putt on a long double breaker. I love the click of the ball coming off the face and tracking it with my eyes...watching the logo roll over and over true....tracking on it's way.

It might be just me. But I love the feeling of when you have about a foot and a half for your par, and you strike it dead-center, and it hits the back and front of the cup a couple of times and settles at the bottom. Like I said, it's probably just me who likes this feeling.

When I hit a flush 2 iron

    • Day 185 - 2025-04-03 Had a good 2.5 hour session at Golf Evolution. Kinda glad it was still wet and windy out today as I wouldn't have gotten such a good session in if I played. Got up to 93 MPH (with a pause) on my 6I and 130 MPH ball speed (on a different slightly slower hit, a bit more de-lofted than I'll want eventually).
    • I'm highly probable for the entire weekend, thanks for doing the hard work to set it up.  I can't wait for more details.
    • I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future. 
    • I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!    
    • Looking forward to this movie, it checks all the boxes for me. Indie Movie True Story Cast is all great character actors Walton Goggins! No Whammies!!!!!!!!!
