I had a look through the forums and couldn't find a thread similiar to this (possibly im blind ) but i thought it would be interesting if everyone shared the worst club they had ever hit.
For me it was an old ram wood i found in a relatives shed, it appeared to be in good condition but boy when you hit it it made a real hollow sound and went absoloutely nowhere, i would compare it to hitting a ball with a rolling pin.

A kid on my HS golf team was braggin' about putting the ball 230 yards with his new "460". 460 this 460 that, turns out he was reading the stakes wrong and it was going 180 ... Aaaanyway, back to the topic. It was a new ram driver and I took one swing and there was this horrible clank, the club was aluminum, and it hit so dead it hurt my hands.

I'd have to say the worst club i've ever hit was the first set my grandfather "gifted" me ....a set of pinnacle steel shafted driver/3w/5w. Hit it like hitting a bowling ball with a sponge, no distance, hurt like hell in any weather under 75* and the shafts were something made of copper, bent about 2 weeks after i had them on a drive, AND a fairway wood...

The worst from a modern premium brand (at least they were for a little while back in 90's), was a Goldwin ADVP driver. It was made of aluminum and just felt horrible. At the time I had the ADVP irons and loved them so I was excited to find a used Goldwin driver at a used club store. It was expensive new, but they had this for $25 so I almost bought it without even trying it. I probably hit 10-12 balls with it, thinking that I must have just hit it wrong (it as a much bigger head than the driver I was playing with at the time). Finally I realized it wasn't me but the club.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG with Aldila DVS stiff shaft. No feel, no distance, no accuracy. But it could have been the shaft. Maybe the shaft's not for me, but this club/shaft combo was terrible in my hands.

A $10 "driving iron" from the mid nineties I found in a Sport Authority. It was a "Pro Select Pro Action 363" w/ 23* of loft. It was almost comical how bad the club was. It felt like it was made out of rubber.

To this day, the Goldwin ADVP is the only driver in my bag. All my friends laugh when i pull it out, but it sure does make me feel good when i out drive them!!!!!!!

(Which only happens maybe once every other round!!)

    • Day 3: about 20 minutes of putting on the practice green. Focused on putts within 10 feet.
    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
