Worst Club Ever Hit

[Power_fade]

Some Cobra driver from the late 90's. It felt like you broke your arm even if you hit it dead center.

Square Two 2-iron, Perimeter Weight wide sole SW.

My cousin has these Diablo iron set that I hit a few balls with a 8 and 9 iron, worst feeling irons ive ever hit. They looked really old too but im not sure.

Top all of you John Daly signature ram Grip it and rip it. It was a POS model.

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.

I remember those things.....light as a feather and results were all over the place, too.

worst newish driver from major OEM... Taylormade CGB Max - just an awful feel and couldn't hit anything but hooks.

worst club period... Knight Driver (K-mart special) - this was about 13 years ago when a friend bought one, just a total POS, we broke it after just a couple buckets.

worst irons... old school Big Berthas and just about anything with a super wide sole, e.g. Nike Slingshot, Callaway Fusion, Cleveland HiBore Irons , etc.

worst putters... The Heavy Putter

ugliest clubs... F2 Face Forward Wedges, Any Taylormade Iron, and Diablo Draw Drivers .

you think the TPMB Smokes are ugly?!?!?!

For any club i have personally used, the NVS shaft, hooks. alot. the gap wedge. Made it about two weeks before it was replaced. No one has said the hammer yet?!?!

I'm certainly not in love with them, but NO, they are an exception to what I said. However, most TM irons are terrible looking, full of graphics and other nonsense. I considered getting the R7TP's based on feel and look at address, but couldn't get over the way the club looked overall.

i remember those too. weren't they like $500 when they first came out? (the Goldwin ADVP drivers)

I got a maxfli driver (powermax?) and it goes clunk and the ball doesn't go very far compared to my other drivers.

hehe, a buddy of mine actually replaced his Callaway BB 460 for a Maxfli Powermax driver. he kills the ball with that thing. just goes to show you how personal a club can be. one person will hate it, and another will love it

Last year I bought a full set of Dunlop DDH clubs. They were horrible.

My dear mother bought a Rawlings 400cc driver for me about 6 or 7 years ago. I think it was out of an ad in the Wall Street Journal. $40 club and not worth 10% of that, at least given the grip it had on it. I think the idea was to see how slick they could make it.

My first round with it was on the Saratoga course adjacent to SPAC. Rainy afternoon and I play without a glove to begin with. It was 50/50 whether the ball would shoot right into the trees, or the club would shoot out of my hands into the trees.

That club is still in the closet because I can't imagine it's worth anything, on ebay or elsewhere. Plus, it did have a great heart behind the purchase.

On my own accord, the worst fit had to be a 62 degree Hogan chunk special wedge purchased in summer '96, and King Cobra 3 and 5 woods bought at about the same time. They had strong lofts, 14 and 18, and generally felt like bricks. I might have managed 10 feet airborne a few times. At the same time I bought a King Cobra 17 degree driving iron that I wouldn't dream of parting with. I literally get 5+ times the height with that driving iron as the 18 degree 5 wood ever managed.

BTW, I shuffled those Cobra woods to my dad as a so-called present. He reshafted them with Proforce Gold senior flex and couldn't get them airborne himself.

TM Tour Burner. Horrible feel and just terrible distance. My 3 hybrid went farther.

[AQUAFINA]

A Spalding Executive Driving Iron...
No matter how I hit it, it just hurt :\

[Guest]

i would say an old ping putter that actually went "ping" everytime i hit it. It was horibbly inacurate lol

I was just thinking that as I was reading this thread !

Though I never hit one personally, I was instantly reminded of the Hammer thread on this board. Too funny
