Does this bother anyone else or is it just me?

Depends what club it is and who is asking. A beginner or high handicapper asking to hit my driver? Nope. Irons? Probably.

Where are you guys running into these people out on the course that have no idea how to even swing a club?  I've never paired up with someone or went out with someone who didn't have some idea of what they were doing.  NO ONE is gonna hit a shot thats any worse than some of the shots I've hit.

I swing my irons and hit the ground over and over again.  I don't think anyone else on a golf course is gonna somehow find that special way to break the club doing the same things.

I've crowned my driver before...I don't think its gonna be any worse for someone else to do it if they mess up.  I have a used 3w that already had a dent in its crown...OMG its useless!

we were speaking of value vs damage...and YES, guitars drop all the time from worn straps or sweaty hands... if you played guitar you'd know how easily they get knicked and dinged...very easily... and if your axe falls off the rack, yer done..specially if it's a set-neck(opposed to bolt-on)...I can't see how a dent anywhere besides the face of a club, will render it useless... besides, it's NOT the arrow, it's the Indian.

Where are people running into strangers who want to hit their clubs? Who are these guys? An appropriate response would be, "What's wrong with just hitting your own own shiny club?"

Lol, I don't know of any stranger who has EVER asked and I know i would never ask someone I wasn't very good friends with.  There is no friend I play golf with who I wouldn't let swing any club I have...even my beloved 60 degree wedge if they felt daring.  Must be some odd people out there.

It really doesn't matter me much, but I must admit it depends on who is asking and why, so basicly I have no problems with it, but I wouldn't do it if some one asked to try a driver, bc. he always wanted to buy a driver, but never did ......

And also if someone drops 25 balls in a bunker and ask me if he may try my Bob Vokey, I would say no !

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      Hybrids

      By billchao ·

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
